Architecture and the Pan-American Exposition
Part III - "The Exposition Buildings"


When David Gray, editor of the Art Hand-Book1, was compiling descriptive information for the buildings of the Pan-American Exposition, he sought out the architects themselves:

"The descriptions of the chief buildings of the Pan-American Exposition have been written for the Art Hand-Book (except in a few instances) by the architects that designed them. It is felt by the Editor, therefore, that they may be presented as accurate and official descriptions of the Exposition architecture.— Editor."

Each of the following pages begins with such descriptions as published in the Art Hand-book. Additional material, including third-party descriptions, criticism, detailed renderings and photographic images will follow.
