This is a good thread. I was doing a little research and stumbled on a hidden Tiki treasure from the New York Worlds Fair. The exhibit area was called Julimar Farms. Here is the description from the guide book:

The smallest pavilion at the Fair displays the products of Julimar Farms where the exhibit is a lovely garden setting designed by famed architect Edward Durel Stone. Among the different types of custom-designed gardens displayed about the building are Polynesian, Renaissance and English, plus a special herb garden for the blind. The open pavilion, surrounded by a veranda, was designed by the architect Edward Durell Stone. The gardens are by his son, Edward J.

Polynesian gardens you say, hmmm.

The gardens were located between the two large exhibit structures as seen in this aerial.

Here is the entrance.

Some photos of the gardens

Wait for it, wait for it.... BAM, THERE IT IS!

Looks like a big ol' Barney West Tiki next to a lava rock waterfall!

It's amazing what's still out there to be discovered.
