Buildings at the Buffalo Exposition Inspire Grand Spanish Style Plans
The Buffalo Exposition of 1901 unfolds with elaborate grounds and vast structures. Buildings including horticultural, graphic arts, and forestry centers rise to 240 feet, 30,000 square feet each, in Spanish renaissance style with mission influences, arcaded cloisters, and a central fountain. A 600 by 350 foot machinery and transportation hall forms a hollow square with an inner court and pool. A northern plaza hosts a sunken garden, terrace, and band stand, while a north rail station colonnade and a large open restaurant lead visitors to Vanity Fair and the Midway.
