Title

Rainier Vista and Music Pavilion at the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition, 1909

Description

Transcribed from the Official Guide to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition: "In a shady spot on the grounds of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition at Seattle stands the Music Pavilion, one of the most ornate structures at the 1909 exhibition. Surrounding this building is a hedge of Douglas fir and the work of the landscape artists is in evidence on every hand, for beautiful flowers of every description have been set out and the walks and paths leading up to the pavilion paved with asphalt. The Music Pavilion is of colonial architecture, with many of the characteristics of the French style, carrying columns modeled after those surrounding Washington's old home at Mt. Vernon. In the frieze about this building is a musical staff and many other decorations of a similar nature, making the pavilion one of the most beautiful and artistic of the temporary buildings."
