“ On each of its long sides arise colonnades of immense fir logs, supporting an extensive loggia, or gallery; and the great overhanging roof, with its picturesque gables, contrasts markedly with the neighboring buildings. About the interior is a rustic colonnade of still larger and taller firs than on the ex- terior, supporting rustic balconies. It is a forestry exhibit in itself, in its simplest educational form. ”
Ion Lewis, The Pacific Monthly (1905)
“ Surmounting the whole rises a majestic dome, conspicuouosly marking the building from all parts of the grounds. The Foreign Exhibits Building, directly opposite the foregoing building, while of the same length, is of but half the width. Still keeping the broad wall spaces of the Spaniard, this building has an individual- ity of its own. In place of the dome, a number of small towers rise from the cen- ter of the facade to emphasize its quiet dignity. ”
Ion Lewis, The Pacific Monthly (1905)
“ Dividing the sunken gardens is a simple Italian fountain. The Agricultural Building is devoted to the exhibits of the various states of the West and the Northwest. It is typically Spanish in character, with broad wall sur- faces, richly ornamented window penetra- tions and broad, overhanging, heavily bracketed eaves. ”
