History

The Trylon was a seven-hundred foot spire designed by architects Wallace Harrison and J. Andre Fouilhoux in 1939. Adjacent to the Trylon was a landmark known as the Perisphere. Both the Trylon and the Perisphere became world famous attractions of the 1939-40 New York World's Fair.

In 1942, the war-time super-hero team the All-Star Squadron used Flushing Meadows as a base of operations and headquartered themselves inside the Trylong and the Perisphere. They occupied the area until mid-1943, after which, the Trylon and the Perisphere were razed. The materials from which they were constructed was recycled for military armaments throughout the remainder of the war.
