looking at photos... Alaska's dome. Looks like another semi geodesic 1/3 dome notation dark away from that.
A squarish low tent structure further away

And those very cool thin, white four column arches in front f the US Science pavilion. LVery pretty design! Never saw a photo of those!

Nice they kept the monorail, too. My dad went up the Space Needle on a business trip a few years later. 👍
