The factual accuracy of this postcard is disputed. While this is presumably an accurate representation of a 1908 postcard, that postcard does not accurately represent the grounds of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific-Exposition (1909). It should be used with caution as a representation of anything other than the postcard itself. See description for further explanation. |

Description |
English: Caption on image: No. X18. Looking south-east on Lake Washington Ave.
This postcard, drawn the year before the Exposition, is not easily reconciled with the facilities as built. There does not appear to be any Lake Washington Avenue on any of the maps of the Exposition, but this make some sense for the similarly named Washington Avenue. In that case (see File:Lawn with Manufacturers and Agricultural Buildings, Alaska-Yukon-Pacific-Exposition, Seattle, Washington, 1909 (AYP 1030) (crop for comparison).jpeg), the building in the foreground would be the Manufactures Building; at far left, we would see the northern tip of the symetrically designed Agricultural Building and to the right of that the European Building. However, the brown building next to the right would be in the location of the (white) Alaska Building. Furthermore, view to the right of the Manufactures Building is not congruent with, for example, File:Manufacturers Building, Alaska-Yukon-Pacific-Exposition, Seattle, Washington, 1909 (AYP 729).jpeg (sic on "Manufacturers" vs. "Manufactures"). |
