I’ve lived in Buffalo My whole life. I had no idea. 😳. Thank you. Now to take a walk around the city and find some of these beautiful places. ( if they still exist) although the one building looks like the art museum.
Appreciate the comment. It is amazing how much history exists in the areas we live and often don't realize. I'm not sure how many of the buildings still exist, ... probably a view. You have me curious and I will check when I have time.
Actually, only one building survived the demolition shortly after the Exposition closed. The building you are referring to, although similar in architecture to the Art museum, is the Buffalo History Museum which was the New York State building during the Exposition. There is one other building which survived, and it is the Wisconsin building which was moved to Point Abino in Canada. It is a summer home in a gated community there. I know all this because my husband has always been interested in the PanAm as are others and have formed the PanAm club. On May 2, 2024 from 2:30-4:30pm many members will be at the Buffalo History Museum with some of their souvenirs for public viewing. Come and see if you’d like and talk with some of them.
@@sshaw70 Thanks for updating me on that. I wish I had been in your area of May 2, but I was covering the 160th Anniversary of the Battle of Wilderness. And I'm pretty far away anyway, outside Philadelphia. Thanks again.
We have lost two straight bids for a small expo in Minneapolis. This was good news in a way. For thirty years our Dept. of State has not thought these events are important. Now the younger members think they are. We are again in the Bureau of International Expositions. But yes, it would be hard. Still hopeful that some day we will.

I deal in World's Fair souvenirs . I know very little about this one thank U
You're welcome. And from a historic standpoint, even though a bad one, it is one of the most important, yet lesser known.
2024 USA probably couldn't recreate such an exposition
