| Building Notes | In 1909 Seattle hosted its first World's Fair on the University of Washington campus - the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition (AYP). The AYP attracted more than 3.5 million visitors from around the world, giving Seattle much-needed prominence and attention as a leader in Pacific trade. The layout of the Exposition and its buildings were partly funded by the state legislature, so that they could later be used by the University. The San Francisco firm of Howard & Galloway was responsible for the design supervision of the fair's official buildings and sent their chief designer, Eduard Champney, to oversee the entire project. This drawing shows early designs for the Forestry and California State buildings. While both buildings were later redesigned, the California building was the only one not to follow a classical theme. The more appropriate Mission Style was chosen instead. Located where the Communications Building is today, the California State building was briefly used by the University as a storage area for its museum. It was torn down in 1915. |
