Zuni Exhibit: Recreation of a Native American Pueblo (1915)
The New York architect Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue and his associate Carleton Winslow were the lead architects for the exposition. Goodhue created a new style drawing from California’s Spanish history.
The buildings of previous world’s fairs had all been designed in the Neoclassical and Beaux-Arts style. Goodhue’s style for the buildings, later called Spanish Colonial, became widely popular in California and today is seen as typical for California.
Except for a few buildings, the structures were built as temporary buildings out of wood-and-plaster with decorations made out of cardboard.
Among the exhibits at the 1915-1916 exposition was a full recreation of a Native American pueblo village, including Native Americans posing as inhabitants.
