History
The Riding Coliseum, Dairy Cattle Building, and Agricultural Building were likely designed by the same architect, Lynn W. Fry of the State Building Department.[2] The three buildings were constructed in two year intervals in 1922, 1924, and 1926.[2] All three are similar in appearance, being Neo-Classical Revival, white stuccoed buildings sitting on high red brick foundations.[2] They are fine examples of the Classically inspired exhibition architecture popularized by the World Fair exhibitions of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.[2]
