New York World's Fair Progress Report Site maps
Compare the changes in color scheme for the selected reports below. Although our site map displays a copyright of 1963,
it shares most of its
color scheme to the 1962 versions. Several details carry over to the
newer version such as the
designated green areas.
Site plans in reports also by CLARKE and RAPUANO ANDREWS & CLARK
Report Number 5 dated May 17, 1962
Report Number 6 dated September 12, 1962
Shows a similar color scheme and layout
Shows the closest color scheme and layout
Colors seem bolder

Some minor details differ
Report Number 7 dated January 24, 1963
Report Number 8 dated April 22, 1963
Color scheme and layout change but still share similarities
Color scheme and layout similar to # 7
Some minor details remain
Here is our map again, showing a similar area as the progress reports. Compare it to the pictures above.
Observations:
The light yellow parking area at the top of the map, below the green area does not show 'lines' just like Report 6. However, line appear in Report 7.
There's a green area on the right side of the pink area where the First National City Bank (18 on our map) is located. In report 6 it is a pink area and changes to green by Report 7.
Our site map seems to be a hybrid of these two maps.
So what do all these numbers mean? We don't know. Below is a chronological list of pavilion Ground Breaking dates through the end of 1963. It appears the numbering scheme may be based on contract dates for the commitment to build at the fair! Certainly not Ground Breaking.
Thank you to Kevin "Yadda Yadda" and Marc Williams from PTU for supplying the dates
