Andre Fouilhoux]], with the interior exhibit by [[Henry Dreyfuss]]. The structures were built in [[Flushing Meadows Park]] in [[Queens, New York]] and were intended as temporary with steel framing and plaster board facades. Both buildings were subsequently razed and scrapped after the closing of the fair, their materials to be used in [[World War II]] armaments.{{citation needed|date=October 2014}}
