In the year 1901, the city of Buffalo, New York hosted the Pan American Exposition.
A cornerstone of this 350 acre sized "Fair" was a tower which beamed lights throughout the entire fairgrounds.
At that time Nikola Tesla had invented a three-phase system of alternating current with wireless power transmission for distant transfer of electricity.
This allowed designers to light the exposition using power generated 25 miles (40 km) away at Niagara Falls.

Architecture at the Exposition - Panam1901.org
Bird's Eye View of the Pan-American Exposition
After crossing the bridge, and swinging somewhat to the right, one enters the magnificent main approach to the Exposition buildings, and the eye ranges through the long perspective of the Fore Court, the vast Esplanade, capable of holding a quarter of a million people, the Court of Fountains and the Grand Basin until it is arrested by the towering mass of the noble Electric Tower -- the dominating architectural feature of the whole Exposition.
Electric Tower Property
One of the most recognizable buildings in the Buffalo skyline, the Electric Tower is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Originally constructed in 1912 as the headquarters for the Buffalo General Electric Company, the building had degraded over the years with much of its historic fabric concealed.
