[edit] Summary
| Description |
United States Building, Army and Navy exhibits. At the north side of the main plaza of the Exposition is situated the symmetrical building occupied byt he Army and Navy Exhibits of the Government. The building is of two storeys. THe first, raised somewhat above the pavement of the plaza by t a broad flight of seven steps, consists of an arcade or loggia of seven bays with an engaged column at each pier, flanked by projecting pavilions at either side. Above each arch is a borad window faced with an iron balcony with a similar treatment at the center of each end pavilion. Surmounting all is a hipped tile roof with a richly colored and gilded cornice. The general character of the building is Italian, somewhat that of the Municipal buildings of Verona but with the ornamentation in the style of the SPanish Baroque. THe building is the work of Frank P. Allen, Jr., and was originally called the Sacramento Valley Building. Brightly colored curtain-awnings are draped from the window heads out over the balcony railings and an expansive awning of blue and yellow is generally spread out over the broad steps to protect the military band from the bright sun. |
