The Trylon and Perisphere were two monumental modernistic structures designed by architects Wallace Harrison and J. Andre Fouilhoux that were together known as the Theme Center of the 1939 New York World's Fair. The Perisphere was a tremendous sphere, 180 feet in diameter, connected to the 610-foot (190 m) spire-shaped Trylon by what was at the time the world's longest escalator. The United States issued a postage stamp in 1939 depicting the Trylon and Perisphere (pictured). Neither structure survives. Both buildings were razed and scrapped after the closing of the fair, their materials to be used in World War II armaments.
