  • Painted aerial view of the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition fairgrounds of 1909 (located at the current site of the University of Washington). The view is looking south towards Lake Washington and Mt. Rainier. The buildings are not very detailed and the roads and grounds look unfinished, so this view is probably a pre-fair architectural conception of the fair. The official AYPE emblem is located in the top right corner of the front of the card. circa 1909.

  • Photos of two buildings on the University of Washington Campus. The Engineering Hall was originally built as the Machinery Building for the 1909 Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition (AYPE) held on the university campus.

It was eventually replaced by the Electrical Engineering Building in 1948. The Home Economics Building was built in 1916, and was renamed Raitt Hall in 1946 after Effie Raitt, an innovative Director of Home Economics. It still houses university classrooms today. circa 1920.
