Queens borough president dismisses Johnson’s Pavilion

Queens Borough President Helen Marshall said this week that
the New York State Pavilion in Queens’ Corona Park, designed by Philip Johnson
for the 1964 World’s Fair, did not need to be preserved. “It should be
demolished,” she said. “[Johnson]’s not the only artist in the
world.” The World Monuments Fund named the pavilion one of the world’s most endangered cultural
landmarks
