This was one of two Irish pavilions: the Irish Cultural Pavilion and the Historical Pavilion. The Irish Cultural pavilion included a large stained glass window and a 32-foot high mural of famous Irishmen in American history.

The Historical Pavilion was shaped like a shamrock, and contained some of the products Ireland is famous for: Irish whisky, Guinness stout, bacon, pottery, silver, smoking pipes, book binding and printing, and woolen items.
