Draft prototype for ticket #F7ZY. Model built to scale from the TEF Design measurements: 155 ft diameter, 55 ft high, 20 steel ribs, 24 ft finial. Drag to orbit, scroll to zoom.
The model shows the Century 21 dome theater at 3161 Olsen Drive, San Jose: a shallow dome 155 feet across and 55 feet high, skinned in asphalt over wood sheathing on 20 steel ribs, capped by a 24-foot steel finial. A curved lobby block fronts the dome on the south side. The Century 21-22-23 pylon sign stands beside the lot: a pole carrying three stacked panels in teal, blue, and red, topped by three spheres. The Winchester Mystery House massing sits to the west; the eight-story Santana West tower massing sits to the east. The timeline slider adds the sister domes: Century 22 in 1966, Century 23 and Century 24 in 1968, Century 25 in 1969; Century 24 and Century 25 vanish in 2014, Century 22 and Century 23 vanish in 2019.
Controls: Ribs strips the dome skin to show the 20 steel ribs. Section cuts the dome along the north-south axis to reveal the auditorium bowl. Dusk switches to evening lighting and lights the sign. Labels toggles the annotations. The year slider drives the timeline.
