| Summary: | Caption on image: Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Filed in: UW - Johnson Annex (#455) In 1909, the Woman's Building on the University of Washington campus opened as part of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition to showcase women's art and to provide hospitality to visiting women. It then served as a center for campus and community women until 1916, when it was put to other use. It has been used as the U.S. Bureau of Mines Building, the Chemistry Annex, the ROTC Building and the Atmospheric Science and Johnson Annex. Women reclaimed the building in the early 1980s and named it Cunningham Hall for Imogen Cunningham (1883-1976), a pioneering artistic portrait photographer. It now houses the Women's Information Center and the Northwest Center for Research on Women (HistoryLink.org, Essay. 540, Mildred Andrews). This image was taken from "University of Washington, Department of chemistry and chemical engineering, 1903-1928. A commemorative bulletin."
