Description
This aerial view from the 1930s shows the layout of the California State Fair as it stood at 2751 Stockton Blvd. The domed structure is the Agricultural Building, later to be called the Counties Building, while the tower marks the location of the Machinery Hall. The grandstand abutting the racetrack was built in 1926, but sections of the structure collapsed just a month prior to opening day due to poorly mixed concrete.
