Made from plaster and chicken wire apparently, in crazy short periods of time. I guess the American founders were just built different.

    Not to mention the photo record of the various construction sites.. or lack thereof. You would think such an undertaking would be highly documented..

    Wood and plaster, put up only for a party, millions of dollars lost, destroyed soon after. Only problem, some of the “temporary structures” are still standing over 100 years after. Chicago Museum of Science and Industry, there is a plauque i read my self when i was there. It dead ass says, “This building was originally constructed of crude material but it was so like, we replaced every piece, one at a time until the stone building remained.”
