Construction of the Olympia began
in 1929 and took less than eight months to build. When it opened in June
1930, its interior comprised stalls and attractions themed by Andrew Mazzei in the form of a Moorish village. The Olympia’s distinctive exterior was finished in white faience and included a dome which was removed after the war. During the conflict, Morse-code was taught in the Olympia and troops marching by had to break step to avoid disrupting the lessons. |
