The official narrative is that over 200 huge buildings were built for the Chicago Worlds Fair only to be torn down a few years later. Everyone believes that story, even though they wouldn't have been able to even complete the foundations of the buildings in time for the fair with 1893 machinery.

But the buildings didn't need foundations. They were temporary structures that were built with the intention of being torn down in the near future.

Look at the magnitude of some of those buildings. You cannot just "temporarily" put up some beams and support those massive arches and tall roof tops.

Anyone experienced in construction will tell you that without heavy duty foundations, those things will not stand up even with today's much advanced construction technology.

Agreed just the site work alone would take years and cost fortunes. My hunch is that SOME of the buildings were cheap plaster ones in order to give credence to the lie that they were all that way

It takes a year to build a single family house how can you build these buildings in that same amount of time. When you look close at the narrative that all this shit (and even all yhe nicest old buildings in our cities that havent been demolished exhibit a stunning level of design perfection) was built all in the 1880s - 1890s it just doesnt add up

No it doesn't. My house was built (from a dirt lot to move-in date) in 5 months. It doesn't take any time at all to throw up a house if you know what you're doing and you have an efficient and reliable process that you've repeated hundreds of times.
