You guys are going to LOVE this!!!
High - resolution and COLOR film of the 1939 New York World's Fair. Short movie ( a pity they wasted too much time showing the robot ) but the images are totally worth the time! Beautiful too see!!! There's a little part about TV too!!!

Thank you. This was available on VHS years ago, but the print wasn't near this same quality. The actual movie starts at their home in Hempstead, Long Island.
The 1939 fair was the best by far. They say it was art-deco/streamline style at it's peak. After the fair it began it's decline. The "mall" with the Perisphere at the end is basically what's there today with the '64-'65 fair's Unisphere on it's same pilings. The Perisphere and Trylon were actually temporary structures that were taken down right after the fair. |

I kind of like the tie in to Westinghouse since I'm from Pittsburgh and still live in the area.
