Spokane World Exposition, Expo 74
Spokane's Expo '74
Author: Bill Cotter
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 146712463X
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
In the late 1960s, Spokane's civic leaders were desperately looking for a way to revitalize a large section of downtown, especially a motley collection of little-used railroad lines and polluted industrial sites along the Spokane River. Their solution was to use the area for Expo '74, which was billed as the first ecologically themed world's fair. Critics predicted the project was sure to fail, as Spokane was the smallest city to ever host a world's fair, but history proved them wrong. From the minute the gates opened on May 4, 1974, the crowds loved the fair. Hosting 5.4 million visitors, with participation from several major companies and countries, Expo '74 was a success. As planned, it launched a rebirth along the river that left a permanent legacy, the popular Riverfront Park.

The Fair and the Falls
Author: John William Theodore Youngs
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 676
Book Description
J. William T. Youngs headed the research staff who interviewed over 200 citizens and reviewed thousands of pages of records, in order to write this definitive history of Spokane, its people, and the first ever Environmental World's Fair to be ratified by the Bureau of International Expositions in Paris. This comprehensive history of a midsize western American city chronicles the coming of white settlers and their interchanges with the Indians of the region; the harnessing and exploitation of the Spokane River and its beautiful falls for energy to run mills and light streets, stores, and homes; and the impact of the railroads. At the heart of this meticulously researched account is the growth and decay of Spokane's inner city by the falls, as its economy ebbed and flowed, and the reclamation of the falls through the resounding success of Spokane's World Fair-Expo '74.
