1900 – The American Pavilion, Exposition Universelle, Paris, France
The American pavilion of the 1900 Exposition Universelle attracted negative reaction among those that were not from the United States. The exhibit, a post office inspired building resembling the structures of Chicago, became a clubhouse or base for American visitors and offered little for foreigners to enjoy. The entrance was surmounted by a quadriga, the chariot of progress driven by Liberty, guided by two children. At the quayside was the equestrian statue of George Washington.
