Designed by exposition architects Molli, Fenoglio and Salvadori di Wiesenhof, the Pavilion of England was built by Impresa Quadri & Colombo. The Pavilion was located in front of the Monumental Fountain, on the right side of the river Po. As described in the CTI guide, the building was elevated in the middle part. It featured two floors, framed by a pediment on which the English coat of arms was displayed. The central structure was bordered and framed by two spires, surmounted by the Royal Crown. Two porticos supported by double columns, and covered by balconies extended from the right and left sides of the pavilion's main body.
