Progressland At Night

I would imagine that, like Disneyland, the New York World's Fair was a beautiful place at night. It only makes sense that General Electric's Progressland pavilion would take full advantage of the lighting possiblilties. The graceful dome covering the pavilion lit up a night in a dazzling display: "If you come at night, Progressland's spectacular outdoor lighting will add to your enjoyment. The building's dome, lighted in multiple colors, will appear to revolve. Watch it for up to 14 minutes -- you won't see the same pattern appear twice." Look at those crowds!


Just for kicks, here's a look at the Unisphere at night. Silhouetted in front of it is the sculpture known as "Rocket Thrower", which I believe is still in place. You can see the Sky Ride in the distance. The Bell Pavilion would be behind us.
