Transcribed from the Official Guide to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition - Agricultural Building: "The Agriculture building at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition is of French renaissance design with a circular pergola colonnade with ionic columns supporting trellis beams and flower tubs. During the life of the exposition these columns will be covered with woodbine and clematis. Structurally, the Manufactures and Agriculture buildings are similar with just enough difference to avoid mechanical repetition. The end facades of the Agriculture building consist of a semi-circular arch fifty feet wide crowned with a pediment containing the official seal of the exposition worked out in staff. This is surrounded by a flowered wreath and acanthus arabesques. In this building are 60,000 square feet of exhibit space, besides the galleries. In the Agriculture building the big gallery is devoted to the educational exhibits, such as displays from the public schools of the State of Washington, the universities, the State Agricultural College at Pullman, the handiwork of the women of the state and exhibits from the industrial schools. Machinery used in manual training institutions are seen in operation. Correspondence schools also have an exhibit.

Everything from the raw material to the product ready for canning is shown. The bottling of beer by sanitary methods is shown in this building, as well as modern methods used in the making of fine syrups. Among the exhibits are the resources tributary to the transcontinental railroads entering Seattle. Motion pictures are used to a great extent.
