Editing Centennial Exposition of 1876 (section)

== Legacy ==

Several structures from the Centennial Exposition survive in Fairmount Park. Memorial Hall, built as the art gallery, is a grand Beaux-Arts building that now houses the Please Touch Museum, a children's museum. The Ohio House, a Victorian cottage that served as Ohio's state pavilion, still stands in the park. The Japanese House and Garden, a gift from Japan, was reconstructed in Fairmount Park in 1958. The Catholic Total Abstinence Union Fountain, erected during the fair, remains as a monument to the temperance movement. These survivals provide tangible connections to the exposition and to the America of the centennial year.<ref name="gallery">{{cite book |last=Gallery |first=John Andrew |title=Philadelphia Architecture: A Guide to the City |year=1994 |publisher=Foundation for Architecture |location=Philadelphia}}</ref>
