Finishing touches are being put on an immense tower, to be called “The Space Needle,” in preparation for the opening of the World’s Fair in Seattle. The event, called “Century 21,” will be a look into the future, an exercise of imagination as to what the 21st Century has in store. In addition to the Space Needle, construction is nearly complete on a new monorail system to move visitors around the vast exposition. The fair will be opened by President John F. Kennedy on April 21, 1962.
