Description: Debra Michlewitz's father was working on a building project at the World's Fair. He was the foreman of a storefront company called SKF industries. The company had won a commission to create a model for a building at the fair. She remembers having great expectations and when she saw the building, being very disappointed. She recalls it being white and a cone shaped, which seemed strange at the time. Looking back, she admires the daring and futuristic style of the building.
