Situated across the street from the Ford Motor Company Central Office Building, the Rotunda was originally located in Chicago at the site of the World's Fair in 1934. Henry Ford liked the building so much that he had it dismantled and shipped to Dearborn. It became a tourist attraction (the 5th largest in the US ahead of such stalwarts as the Statue of Liberty and Yellowstone Park) and was beloved by metro Detroiters for its annual Christmas shows that began in the 1950s after an extensive remodeling of the building. Coloring books were given away to young visitors and this was the last one distributed before the building was gutted by flames.
