The American Forest Industries Building

The AFI Building as pictured on an official Expo ‘74 postcard.

The AFI Building in February of 2024.

The AFI building can be seen in its original location on the official map.

Unlike most other surviving pieces of Expo ‘74 architecture, the American Forest Industries Building is no longer on its original site. Originally located near the southwest corner of the park, the AFI building is now directly east of the U.S. pavilion. It appears be in use as storage for the gates and fences that Riverfront Park uses to direct crowds during large events.

The interior of the building no longer looks as it did during the fair, and has been reconfigured into a picnic shelter. However, the support pillars and beams are still recognizable.
