Additional Details:
The World's largest moveable dome, as seen from the visitors observation promenade deck atop the Gulf Building. This all-purpose sports arena, convention hall and auditorium-theater, built at a cost of 22-million dollars is one of America's engineering wonders. The huge stainless steel roof, weighing more than 3,653 tons, can be rolled back in two and one-half minutes, for open-air events such as operettas. |
