On January 9, 1935, the Grand Council of the Federation of British Industries passed a resolution for a proposal to hold an Empire Exhibition in Johannesburg in 1936 in conjunction with the Golden Jubilee of the city.{{citation needed|date=December 2018}} A site of 100 acres in Milner Park was secured for the exhibition. Here were built about 100 buildings including eight pavilions from foreign nations and eight main exhibition buildings, the largest being the Hall of Industries.{{citation needed|date=January 2019}} The Schlesinger African Air Race was held in conjunction with the exhibition, with I W Schlesinger giving £10 000 in prize money.[5] ParticipantsOver 500 exhibitors came from 18 nations around the world.

This building became the staff club at the West Campus of the University of the Witwatersrand.[7] OrganisationsThe Victoria Falls and Transvaal Power Company (now Eskom) sponsored the building of an art deco tower made of reinforced concrete which overlooked the main axis of the fair. This remained standing after the fair and after a period of use as the north tower of a cable car system became a tuck shop and security office for the University of the Witwatersrand's west campus.[8] The Transvaal Chamber of Mines had a pavilion with dioramas, fountains, a pillar representing the gold output from the Witwatersrand mines from 1933 to 1935, and a life size replica of mine workings.[9] There was a hall of South African Industries,[10] a South African Iron and Steel Industry pavilion,[11] {{cns|and the British South Africa Company presented a series of pictures to represent the history of Rhodesia (Southern Rhodesia).|date=July 2017}}Landscaping and leisureThere were rockeries designed by Pieter Hugo Naudé,[12] an Afrikaner restaurant[13] and the first ice rink in South Africa.[14] References1. ^{{cite|title=Histories of Empire, Nation, and City: Four Interpretations of the Empire Exhibition, Johannesburg, 1936|first=Cati|last=Coe}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.theheritageportal.co.za/article/johannesburg-1936-keeping-eye-out-souvenir-survivals|title=Johannesburg 1936...
