AGRICULTURE BUILDING. 



The A<.'ric'ulture Building- will stand 

 on a hill just Ave.st of Skinker road and 

 about half a mile south of the Admini- 

 stration Building. Its dimensions will 

 be 500 by 1,600 feet. The long facade 

 will be broken up into bays accentuated 

 l)y piers, the latter 100 feet from center 

 to center. The ornamentation is to be 

 concentrated in the main ent^-anees, of 

 which there will be five; one in the cen- 

 ter of each of the shorter fronts, one in 

 center of the front on Skinker road, and 

 two placed fit '^ju.'il dislancns on the 

 front toward Arrowhead Ijake— the 

 western front. T''e opeuiuirs in the;'i 

 entrances will be 52 feet wide and 74 

 feet high. A )nassive ardi fiiinked by 

 heav>^ pylons that rise only a short dis- 

 tance above the cornice make up this 

 entrance composition. 



The lighting of the building has re- 

 ceived special attention from tlie archi- 

 tect, and will pr()bal)ly be the best light- 

 ed structure of the Fair. Th(> roof will 



be carried on nine bays of trusses, those 

 ill the center havin.g a span of 106 feet. 

 The building will have little ornamenta- 

 tion, and although the largest structure 

 on the grounds, it will cost less than 

 some of the buildings in the main archi- 

 tectural picture of the Fair. The con- 

 tract price is $520,940. The contractors 

 are Caldwell & Drake, who also have 

 the contract for the erection of the Hor-
