| Summary: | Transcribed from the Official Guide to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition - Machinery Building: "The Machinery building at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, one of the permanent structures to revert to the University of Washington, is of brick and mill construction and architecturally it is a modern treatment of the Spanish renaissance design. At the close of the exposition this building will be used by the engineering department of the university. In this building everything from the largest to the smallest machines of every description are shown in motion. Just in the rear of this building will be a model foundry. Two of the big features, in the Machinery building are the timber and stone testing plants. The timber plant will test all woods to the breaking point and the stone plant will demonstrate the strength of all building stones to the crushing point. The exhibit of gasoline engines is shown in the motor boat building." Recipient: "Mr. Edwin J. Ivey, 3605 Sanson St. W. Philadelphia PA." Message: "The Yellow Peril can too [?] catch mice. He feels insulted at your aspersions." Location approximated using the 1909 Sanborn Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition map.
