Looking back 60 years.

This building was constructed in 1936 and for almost 80 years the tiny, badly outdated primate exhibits have remained almost identical. It is kind of like venturing into a time machine to tour parts of this zoo.
 
Looks like a WPA building, so the zoo's hands are probably tied here.

It is a Works Progress Administration building, but that wouldn't stop it being altered to become a cafe, museum, reptile house, etc. The walk-through aviary is okay, the reptile/amphibian section is basic but extensive...but it is the primate cages that are horrendously outdated. Check out my review for a list of the numerous species in this large structure.
