Order an Image
The Alaska–Yukon–Pacific Exposition (AYPE) was a world's fair held in Seattle in 1909, publicizing the development of the Pacific Northwest. The fairgrounds were located on the campus of the University of Washington. Several of the buildings and the landscaping survive, continuing to shape the layout of the campus. This photo shows the Alaska Building surrounded by walkways and some of the ornate landscaping designed by the Olmsted Brothers.

Frank H. Nowell (1864-1950) was the official photographer of the AYPE, and his photographs were displayed at the fair and used in many official publications.
