Swine Building (Livestock Building No. 2), 1936

George Dahl

Dahl's most accomplished single building for the Centennial is this livestock facility on the northeast corner of the Fair Park.  Dahl proved that he was capable of great Exposition architecture without the encumbrance of Beaux-Arts baggage.
