This chair is from the Hoo-Hoo House that was built for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition in 1909. The organization's mascot is the black cat and this feline image is stamped into the chair. The AYPE building was designed for the Order by Ellsworth Storey, and after the Exposition, served as the University of Washington faculty club until the mid-1950s.
