Exterior view photograph. Western Provinces Pavilion exterior (lot C-410). The daring roof stucture of the Western Provinces Pavilion was designed to symbolize the transition from the horizontal planes of the Prarie Provinces (Manitoba and Saskatchewan) to the tall mountain regions of British Columbia and Alberta. Live trees projected from the centre of the roof furthering the landscape inspired visitors entering through a corridor leading to a theatre with a show about the poeple of the West. The procession followed to a mine shaft cage, a simulated descent and finally to a mine tunnel exhibit. The ten following exhibits continued along and were devoted to Western Canadian forests, mines, fishing, petroleum, agriculture electricity and people. Upward curving conical roof structure. Reinforced concrete walls and floors finished with cement plaster. Laminated B.C Fir roof and wood decking. (S: 104' x 117' --- A: 12,500 sq. ft. --- H: 48' 6")
