- 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.
