The building in this view is the federal exhibit hall at the Texas Centennial Exposition, held at Fair Park in Dallas in 1936. The fair marked 100 years since Texas declared independence from Mexico in 1836, and it drew heavy attention from the state's boosters during the Great Depression. Federal agencies took part in the fair, which gave Washington a chance to show its work to visitors from across the country. The record's caption card is old and unverified, so the exact exhibits shown in this image are not described here.
