Centennial Building (Formally "Transportation" Building and "Chrysler" Building) was built in 1905 as the first steel and masonry exhibition building on the Fair grounds and was renovated by George Dahl for the 1936 Exposition, who expanded the building to almost twice its original length. The building is decorated with eight murals, originally painted by Carlo Ciampaglia, and depicting various forms of transportation. The eight murals, moving from the West portico, closest to the Women's Museum and heading East to the Hall of State, are: Speed, Traction, Railroad Transportation, Navigation, Future Transportation, Old Methods of Transportation (Navy), Aeroplane Transportation (Air) and Automotive Transportation. Restoration has been completed on all eight murals and consisted of removing years of over painting and abuse.
