Descriptive Note Text
This pavilion emulated the general architectural style of the rest of the Exposition. It featured a large terrace with an impose staricase leading all the way down to the river. The portal on the central part of the building had a tympanum with lateral alcoves graced by statues. On the sides of the central building there were four other wings (two on each side) connected with the central building, and among themselves, by a colonnaded portico.
The Exhibition of the United States, with those of Argentina, Latin America and Brazil, were meant to give a full display of each human activity in everything that has to do with industry, work and social progress in the entire American continent.
