United States Government Building

James H. Windrim, architect

This structure housed objects pertaining to the history and resources of the United States. The selection and installation of these exhibits was supervised by the Smithsonian Institution. At the close of the Centennial, donations from United States and international exhibitors were shipped to Washington, DC, to become the core of the Smithsonian’s National Museum, now the Arts and Industries Building, where objects from the Centennial Exhibition are still on display.
