Jamestown Exposition, Historic district at Sewell's Point, Norfolk, US.
The 130-acre exposition site near Hampton Roads included numerous Colonial Revival and Georgian Revival buildings constructed for the 1907 celebration.
President Theodore Roosevelt opened the Jamestown Exposition on April 26, 1907, marking the 300th anniversary of the first permanent English settlement in America.
Twenty-one states constructed individual exhibition buildings that displayed their regional history, industries, and traditions during the seven-month exposition.
The exposition grounds underwent transformation into the Norfolk Naval Base after World War I, with several original structures still standing within the military installation.
The International Naval Review of June 10, 1907, gathered warships from multiple nations in Hampton Roads for a presidential inspection.
