At the top of the Ferris Wheel, riders were at
a height of 250 feet. The height provided a spectacular view
of the fairgrounds. This photo shows the view looking east over
the fairgrounds from the top of the Ferris Wheel. The Manufactures
Building is in the upper right hand corner of the picture;
this photo highlights the enormous size of the building
in comparison with the other buildings of the fair.
