This is the Gas Exhibits building, of all things. The slabs were 90 feet tall, and surrounded The Court of Flame. Of course they glowed at night: blue and yellow.
Inside you could see The Home of Tomorrow, which was gas-assisted, naturally; it was "modern without being modernistic," which meant up-to-date but not chilly and peculiar like those freethinkers would build.
In 1940 they mixed it up a bit, and added the Gas Wonderland - this book says it had "mystery gardens, disappearing dwarfs, flaming cactus plants, and Tiny Town with talking houses."
They got a bit less idealistic the second time around.
