• View of the northeast corner of the University of Washington campus, taken several years after the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition of 1909. Buildings visible here remaining from the fair are the California Building (in the foreground), the Arctic Brotherhood Building (which became a university museum and dormitory), the New York Building (which served as the U.W.'s School of Music, then as the official Dean's residence), and the Forestry Building (which became the Forestry Department). Lake Washington is in the background. None of these buildings exist today. circa 1915.

• 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. Unlike most AYPE buildings, the Machinery Building was sturdily constructed to be retained for university use after the fair. 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.
