Read "The Devil in the White City," if you want more info on this Worlds Fair.
Correct. Detail in that book showed that construction practices and quality of these buildings rendered them temporary. These buildings were unsafe for use during the fair much less for use years after.

So, the main takeaway from "The Devil in the White City" is a narrative that reinforces the notion that the entire fair's construction was indeed "temporary", ergo "unsafe"?
If so, I'm not buying it.
If you're trying to hide truth and past history -- and need to justify the total destruction of the buildings and fair grounds and reinforce the narrative, a book just like this is not only necessary BUT essential.

Maybe by their standard at the time but things were so over built then I bet they were solid. It amazes me when I drive by one of the first generation of those modern box houses and it's already falling apart. The hundred year old craftsman beside it still looking better than ever.
