Fine Arts Building at the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition, 1909 |

Description |
Transcribed from the Official Guide to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition: "The Fine Arts building of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, to become the chemistry hall for the University of Washington at the close of the fair, is as near fireproof as human ingenuity can make it. It is one of seven structures to revert to the university. Constructed throughout of steel, concrete, terra cotta, and all wooden fixtures replaced by metal, this building is one of the most striking and attractive at the great Pacific exposition. It cost $200,000, and was built out of an appropriation from the Washington legislature of $600,000 for an auditorium, a chemistry and an engineering building, on condition that the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition be allowed the use of them for exhibition purposes during the summer of 1909. Architecturally the chemistry building is in the ionic style, and consists of a central motive in the front of a portico of four large columns with decorative French ionic capitals. This is flanked on either side by a colonnade of pilasters of similar design. The building has three floors and a wing containing a lecture auditorium which seats 500 persons. The exterior is faced with ivory colored bricks, ornamented with a richly carved cornice of terra cotta to match."
