I clipped the photo to include the 'train stuff'. The building itself is extraordinary in its own right. All timber construction, from the looks of it; I don't see any structural iron.

12. A view of the Allis-Chalmers exhibit in the Palace of Machinery shows exhibits from companies such as Jeanesville Iron Works, Crocker-Wheeler, Doble Abner, Harrisburg Foundry, General Electric, and Westinghouse.
"The fair introduced a huge audience to some relatively new inventions such as private automobiles, outdoor electric lighting, and the X-ray machine"
