This is the Czecho-Slovak pavilion at the New York World's Fair as it was dedicated on May 31, 1939. The ancient prophecy at the top of the building is from the worlds of the medieval scholar Comenius. Similarly emblazoned in gold on the lower portion of the facade is the inscription "Begun by the republic of Czecho-Slovakia and finished by friends of Czecho-Slovakia in America." (AP Photo)
