  Pavilion of the United States of AmericaThis pavilion emulates the general architectural style of the rest of the Exposition and has a big terrace with beautiful steps that descend all the way down to the river. The main part of the building is marked by a magnificent door. Its tympanum has lateral alcoves. On the sides of the door there are four statues. On the sides of the main building there are four other wings (two on each side) connected with the central building and among themselves by a colonnaded portico. Beautiful statues decorate the attic. The Exhibition of the United States integrates those of Argentina, Latin America and Brazil in giving us a full display of each human activity in everything that has to do with industry, work and social progress in the entire American continent.
