| Date | 1962 |
| Notes | The Century 21 Exposition took place between April 21 and October 21, 1962 and is also known as the Seattle World's Fair.
The large model of an oil molecule revolving atop the tower on Friendship Mall marks the Standard Oil Company of California Pavilion. The entry is through a sculptured garden, along walks made of petroleum-base colored asphalt. Much of the pavilion itself is made from petroleum or petrochemicals, including the stout plastic skin which forms the walls. The entrance leads past a pool with a cutaway island, showing the geology of oil. Nearby is a 40-foot map and a replica of the world's first service station--opened in Seattle 1907..."
