SEATTLE EXPOSITION PLAN 
^Concluded from i>age 467) 
almost covered with the remains of the 
original forest. Although necessary to 
remove a considerable portion of the 
beautiful vegetation, yet it is proposed 
to retain it wherever possible. In the 
various areas assigned to- the use of 
foreign nations, it is hoped that most of 
the trees and a good deal of the under- 
growth will be left unharmed. 
The buildings are grouped about a 
central fountain basin 200 feet in diam- 
eter, and the arrangement has been per- 
fected so as to take advantage of the 
natural attractiveness of the site. Rainer 
avenue forms the main axis of the ex- 
position, dividing into two approximate- 
ly equal parts the section of the exposi- 
tion site which is appropriated for the 
placing of exhibit structures. The two 
largest buildings will be placed on either 
side of the fountain court, which is bi- 
sected by the avenue. They will be built 
around an arc, with wings to the north, 
and will be similar in size and design, 
being about 550 feet long by 150 feet 
wide. 
The general and construction plans of 
the grounds were prepared by Olmsted 
Brothers, landscape architects, Brookline, 
Mass., who have been engaged on the 
work of development for the past two 
years.
