"The west wing of the [Bell System Pavilion] exhibit building houses the Northwest Room -- the hospitality and public telephone center. Especially designed for the World's Fair, the public telephones have pushbutton dialing and, unlike the standard coin phone, are flush-mounted on the wall. Special family booths accommodating four or five people are equipped with ceiling-mounted speakers and microphones, in place of telephone handsets." (Century 21 Exposition. (1962).
