The Chicago Tribune has a slideshow of the 1893 Chicago Colombian Exposition. All that remains of this expanse of buildings is the one that is now the Museum of Science and Industry.
Most of these buildings were built with wood framing and plaster and either burned down or decayed quickly. Even by today's standards the end result done specifically for a one time event is amazing.
