MANUFACTURERS BUILDING.
On the eastern side of Geyser Basin, at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Ex
position, the handsome Manufacturers BuUding looks across the restless
waters of the Cascades and the flashing foam of "Old Faithful," the. re
production of its namesake in Yellowstone National Park.
Its location is the most central of any of the exposition buildings, and
its architectural design is especially fitting for the position it has been
given. It was one of the first great exhibition palaces to be completed,
and before the end of last year was ready for the reception of its vast col
lection of exhibits. It will house a magnificent assortment of the highest
examples of man's ingenuity and invention, and within its walls will be
gathered specimens of manufactured articles from the workshops of every
nation of importance in the world. '..-'
It overlooks the finest of the formal gardens of the exposition, and its
splendid line of pergolas, with their vine-covered columns and blossoming
flowers, complete a restful and pleasing view. At no part of the grounds
can be seen a more beautiful illuminating effect than is presented from
the open pergolas during the late evening and early night. A million
sparkling electric bulbs flash their white lights through the waters and,
scattered throughout the greenery, hundreds of electroliers mingle their
many hues with the riot of colors. Looking down the gentle slope of
Rainier Avenue the floating craft of two lakes is brought, into vision and
adds the delights ot a broad, light-sprinkled stretch of forest-enclosed
waters to the whole effect.
