Travel and Transport Building, Century of Progress, 1932

The cables attached to the 12 towers of the Travel and Transport Building, designed for the Century of Progress Exhibition by Edward H. Bennett, John Holabird, and Hubert Burnham, held a suspended dome that allowed for clear, unobstructed, and relatively inexpensive exhibit space inside the building.
