Artifact Overview

Ford Motor Company brought its central Rotunda building from the 1934 Century of Progress Exposition back to Dearborn and, from 1936 until a devastating fire destroyed the building in 1962, recreated the excitement of a World's Fair exposition on its home turf. This photo shows the central courtyard inside the building soon after it opened in 1937.
