Oriental Building at the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition, 1909 |
||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
Transcribed from the Official Guide to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition: "The Oriental palace at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition is one of the attractive exhibit buildings, inasmuch as it houses comprehensive displays from Italy, San Marino, Belgium, Serbia, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Syria, Persia, Netherlands, British and Native India, Austria, China, Korea and New Zealand. The architecture of the building is of French renaissance design and Doric columns were used in the construction to harmonize with the Manufactures building, located just south of this structure. The Oriental palace faces on the main court of honor and the location is one of the most central on the exposition grounds. The building contains 20,000 square feet for exhibit purposes, besides the galleries. The main entrance is arched and there are decorative entrances to the building both on Yukon and Hood avenues. In the center of the roof is a cupola carrying a Doric colonnade and the building is richly decorated throughout. From Turkey, Greece, Syria and other Oriental countries comes a collective exhibit, the most complete ever assembled for an international exposition. Some of the finest rugs made in Turkey and Syria were brought to Seattle for display. All of the products of the countries represented in the Oriental building will be given prominence in this structure."
