On Belmont Avenue at the Exposition

The view is north on Belmont Ave. Bartholdi’s Fountain takes center stage in the image. At left is the north tower of Machinery Hall. This photo was taken between Machinery Hall and Main Hall at the southern end of the Exposition. Belmont Ave. bisected the fairgrounds south to north. Horsecars used the rail tracks shown here to carry visitors along the interior perimeter of the fairgrounds.
