I have been obsessed with the World's Fair
Cinerama facility in Seattle
recently, and took some interior photos last night (03.12.2010). It was very
dark, so two of the shots are a bit blurry. I have now made contact with somebody who actually knows
about the history of the building, and hope to meet with him to chat in some
detail over the next few weeks.

By the way, you will notice some off-colored screen panels. Those
are original speaker positions for the Cinerama presentations.
The facility has been used for laser rock shows since the 1970s. In
1982, the 20th anniversary of the fair, I saw "It happened at the
World's Fair" projected onto the dome, but had no idea about the
Cinerama connection that the building had, and didn't pay any attention
to the projection system, regrettably.
