The towers have observation platforms which were once accessed by two (now-removed) 'Sky Streak capsule' elevators attached to the tallest (western) tower. The Observation Towers are three concrete towers, with the tallest at 226 feet (69 metres) high. An idea floated after the fair to use the floor for the World Trade Center did not materialize. The main floor of the Tent was a large scale design of a Texaco highway map of New York State, made of terrazzo.
The Tent of Tomorrow is elliptical in plan, and its sixteen 100-foot reinforced concrete piers once supported the largest cable suspension roof in the world.
The pavilion consists of three components of reinforced concrete and steel construction: the 'Tent of Tomorrow', Observation Towers, and 'Theaterama'.
