Space Needle Was Designed to Look Very Different

While it's hard to imagine Seattle's Space Needle looking any other way, few people know that the iconic 'flying saucer' design wasn't the original choice.

should have show images of the original design if you were going to title the video what you did.

It was a really ugly design. You're better off not knowing.

Whoa! What "CONCRETE LEGS"?! Needle has STEEL LEGS not concrete. Pedestals at foot of Needle are made of concrete, foundation is.concrete, (and steel) but legs are all steel, made by United States Steel! C'mon "Smith!

I didn't make it the year it opened, but I did the following year. I have been to the top many times over the ensuing decades, but never ate there until about twelve years ago and have done so many times since.....even though for us it is a 1,000 mile drive from central CA. Absolutely incomparable experience and well worth the price.

Other stats say, it was started in February 1961 and completed in April 1962!

There is another video on RU-vid featuring the designer's son. He pulls out the original blue prints and no difference. Perhaps what the Smithsonian was getting at was the multiple submissions for design that in the end weren't chosen. Born and raised in Seattle and just out of the stroller for the World's Fair in 1962. The height of the Space Needle was terrifying.

The Space Needle if there is one structure that defines the skyline of SeaTac this is it.
