Mr Cooper, For what it's worth, you might be interested in visiting Philadelphia. (You might live in or around Philadelphia for all I know, but you don't say so in your post) Remaining from the Exhibition in Fairmount Park is Memorial Hall, the main hall of the exposition, which is now the Park headquarters. Besides being perhaps the only remaining structure from that exhibition, I understand it also houses a complete model of the city and the exposition site contemporaneous to the event. And if I understand correctly, the model was recently restored. You might also visit the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts on Broad Street. I don't know that any of the objects in the collection relate directly to the exposition, but I work there and I think I should give it a plug. If you'd like to know if the Academy has any art related to the exposition, you might call the Office of the Registrar at 215-972-7600. I'm sure they be happy to help you. That's all. Good Luck.
