| Summary: | From the Official guide to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition: "Strictly Roman classic in style of architecture, the Oregon building is one of the most striking structures on the grounds. Topped by a huge dome, commands prominence in the skyline. Over its main pediment upon which is the seal of the State of Oregon in bas relief. Two stories in height, the building provides exhibit halls, a reception room, retiring rooms and suites for the governor and commissioners. The Oregon building was complete six months prior to the date for the opening of the exposition, and exhibits were stored in the structure in January. In this building is a cold storage plant and more than two carloads of choice Oregon apples for exhibition purposes were received at the building five months before the gates of the exposition opened. The Oregon building was the first state structure completed on the grounds of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition."
