My guess is the Syracuse daily newspapers would cover the fair in detail at least around the fair dates. If a new building had been erected since the end of the previous fair, mention probably would be made. You could then backtrack to find articles about the construction. >>> Michael R Hunter <[log in to unmask]> 07/25 7:18 PM >>> Historians: While researching the history of the NY State Fairgrounds I found an article in the jan 1910 issue of the brickbuilder highlighting the plans for the permanent buildings drawn up by the firm of Green & Wicks architects. My question is anyone know how I can find out who the landscaper was? My search of the NYSL catalog for the state architect's papers for the year of 1909 came up empty. This is a historic preservation project. M. Hunter
