Mr. Woody Coates was kind enough to capture these images of the Belgium pavilion where it stands today in Richmone, Virgina. Currently the building is in need of much restoration, but the photos show that the elegance and splendor still remains long after the crowds of 1939 have left the Fairgrounds.
