State, Foreign, and Auxiliary Buildings¹

THE FORESTRY BUILDING, designed by the Exposition Architectural Bureau. —The Forestry Building is situated northwest and adjacent to the Indian Mound, which is conspicuous in the southeastern corner of the Exposition grounds. It was intended to house the forestry exhibit in the south pavilion of the Horticultural Group, now known as the Mines Building, but a change in this plan was necessitated, and a separate structure was erected. The Forestry Building is built of logs in the manner of the settlers' log cabins. It is 150 feet long by 100 feet wide, and presents an interesting contrast with the complex and highly developed examples of architecture in the Main Court.
