Commissioned by the state of New York for the 1964 World's Fair in New York City (Queens), the Pavilion was dedicated the day after the New York State Theater, and came at a time when Johnson's break from strict Miesean architecture was becoming evident.
Perhaps the most impressive structures in the Pavilion (and the most recognizable) are the three observation towers measuring 90, 185 and 250 feet tall. These observation towers were reached by capsule-shaped elevators (which can still be seen on the sides of the towers), and were the tallest structures at the Fair.
