Where it came from
Published in 1894, this volume serves as a comprehensive record of the electrical wonders showcased at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Written by John Patrick Barrett, who served as the chief of the Department of Electricity for the fair, the book was intended to document the rapid technological advancements of the era, specifically the monumental shift toward widespread electrical distribution and the illumination of the 'White City.'
The work offers a detailed look at the exhibits within the Electricity Building and the operation of the massive power plants in Machinery Hall. It captures a pivotal moment in the War of the Currents, documenting the triumph of alternating current systems which powered the exposition's dazzling arc and incandescent lighting. The publication remains a vital primary source for historians interested in the intersection of Gilded Age ambition and the industrialization of electric power.
