This is the AYP European Building, not the AYP Fisheries Building. Otherwise all the information in the caption is correct (from my understanding) except Drumheller Fountain is mispelled.

I suspect that the error was made in the original Argus magazine (dated 1908?). The real AYP Fisheries building was located at the back of the big Government Building, approximately in the gap between Kane Hall and Odegaard Library today. I have not seen a picture of this building, but I am nevertheless confidant that the building featured in this photo is the European Building with the Agriculture Building in the background.
