ALASKA

In a white, igloo-shaped pavilion the 49th state has reconstructed a sample 11-minute "day" in the North country, using small-scale figures on a topographical map. Three 30-foot totem poles, originally carved by Indians for the St. Louis Fair of 1904, are in front of the building. Eskimo and Indian craftsmen are at work behind the pavilion.

This view of the Alaska pavilion shows that it was actually a number of different structures. The white igloo-like building housed a mixture of shops and displays. There was more to see in the structures behind that building, including demonstrations of totem pole carving. The long narrow building housed a snack bar. The three circular structures in the top left corner are part of the Westinghouse pavilion. (CD8 Set 40 #9)
Many of the displays promoted the abundant wildlife of the 49th state. (CD11 Set 60 #26)
