Argentina Pavilion, 1939 World's Fair, Flushing Meadow,
Queens; architect: Aymar Embury II[1,2,3]. Demolished after the fair.
I don't know if this was a private commission or he was loaned out by the
Parks Department to advise or assist the principal architect, Armando D'Ans.
I'll err on the side of inclusion.
