Tower of Babel Model For Atlanta Exposition
The Smithsonian plans a miniature Tower of Babel for Atlanta exposition supervised by Dr Cyrus Adler with Dr Palmer in charge. The eight foot high model replicates the ancient one with plaster bricks crafted from molds, outer plaster veneer, and a sun dried brick look. The seven colored stories mirror the original order, bases include a six hundred square foot platform and ten foot brick wall. No windows will be shown to reflect uncertainty about lighting in the ancient building.
