Palaces and Courts of the Exposition by Juliet Helena Lumbard James
page 18 of 117 (15%)
The entablature carried across the faces of the arches supports American
eagles by C. A. Humphries.

Eagles are also seen at the corners of the Corinthian capitals. This
bird of freedom can be found all over the Exposition.

Notice that Mr. Jules Guerin, the great color wizard, leads you by means
of the blue ground of the capitals, the blue between the dentils, the
blue between the consoles to the blue sky above.

The principal lighting is by great clerestory windows - great windows at
the north and the south ends - also by skylights.

The building covers nine acres, and is the largest wooden structure in
the world. It is about three blocks long.

The statues as well as the reliefs are by Haig Patigian of San
Francisco.

Vigorous types like machinery itself are used.

The generation, transmission and application of power as applied to
machinery are most interestingly represented.

The decorated drums of the columns show the Genii of Machinery.

The eyes of these figures are closed, reminding you that power comes
from within.
