2. Information Booth in Times Square
This miniature replica of the Trylon and Perisphere was built as an information booth that stood at the center of Times Square. The eye-catching booth both advertised the fair and provided helpful information about how to get there and what to do when you arrived. The booth stood at 46th Street and Broadway, mere steps away from the headquarters of its sponsor, Loews Metro Goldwyn Meyer. In the photograph above, workers are giving the booth a fresh coat of paint for the upcoming fair season. In the first year of the fair, a reported half a million people visited the booth.
