May to October. 1924. The palace of
engineering faces the palace of industry
in the vast area of Regents Park,
which has in places been practically
torn up by the roots to- make room for
this the most ambitious industrial dis
play ever staged in Britain. The first
building, which is the last word in REIN
forced concrete, is more than a million
square feet under glass cover, and is
the only one quite completed.
The palace of industry is about $780,
600 square feet, and will be rooted be-
fore the winter sets in. In the stadium
at the end of the grand central avenue
edged by the splendid trees which have
made Regents favorite al fresco spot
in London, the Olympian games will be
staged next spring, when the exhibition
is In full swing. Every portion of the
far-fiung British empire will exhibit in
this concrete city, which has arisen, as
II by magic, in Wembley, and on what
might be deemed the ruins of the best
part OF Regents Park. But a state
llness of vista has been obtained by
using venerable forest trees in the
, main boulevard and cutting down a
younger growth, which may be replant-
ed without great expense or loss of
time, for the mammoth building. An
old world look has been given these
palaces and their environs by the use
of classic posts and great Greek tripods
for lighting. and though far from fin
ished, already Wembley reminds the
visitor of the colonnades in Pompeii or
the spacious open places about the an
cient buildings of Greece.
