"In the lobby are a tourist information desk and a ham radio shack. The National Bank of Commerce of Washington, which erected the building for Alaska, provides information for visitors interested in the economic development of the 49th state. To the right of the lobby is a 14-foot wide ramp lined with displays. At the top of the ramp, in the dome area 44 feet above the ground, the visitors stand on a sloping floor looking down a relief map of Alaska. While a recorded voice narrates the social and economic story of Alaska, synchronized lights focus on the community being discussed. At the conclusion of the presentation, a motion picture of the Aurora Borealis is projected on the dome of the pavilion." (Century 21 Exposition. (1962). Official Guide Book, Seattle World's Fair 1962. Seattle: Acme Publications. p. 47)
