Interior view of New York State Pavilion, taken on June 29, 2007. I had to sneek in to take these shots as the entire pavilion has been fenced off and in such a state of disrepair that it is deemed unsafe for the general public.
New York State Pavilion taken on June 29, 2007. The tragedy of the New York State map. The map was designed with 567 terrazzo mosaic panels, each weighing 400 pounds. Rand McNally & Company assisted in constructing the $1,000,000 map, which featured the 50,000 square miles of New York State in meticulous detail. The cities, towns, highways, roads, and Texaco stations were accurately mapped in the 9,000 square-foot design.

350' at the widest span, this is still one of the world's largest prestressed cable suspension roofs. The colored roof panels are gone, but fortunately the rest was designed to last.

New York State Pavilion taken on June 29, 2007. The pavilion was donated to the City after the World's Fair. Like the Unisphere this dramatic structure has become an icon of Queens, visible from a distance on the Grand Central Parkway and Long Island Expressway. Philip Johnson's masterpiece survives despite over 42 years of neglect.
You've seen it photographed a thousand times but it still captures your imagination. June 29, 2007.
