at the entrance to the Midway, and
looking across tho entrance way tho
groves minarets Of tho Wagoner
place.
Tho main Exrosition buildings
will be tho Cation Palace, tho Com
merce Palace, tho Agricultural
Palace, the Mining and Forestry
Building, the Auditorium, the struc
lures devoted to railroad exhibits, to
restaurant purposes and to public
comfort. Besides all these there
will stand on tho Wagener place tho
United States Government Building,
the Woman's Building, the several
State and City Buildings and the
Negro Department.
The Cotton Palace will be tho
most imposing of the Exposition
buildings. 1t will cover upwards Of
$4,000 feet of floor space, will be $50
feet IN length and at least 100 feot in
width. One of the features Of this
building will bo magnificent portico.
In the center of the building will
rise an imposing dome to q height Of
moro than $50 feet. In this building
will be displayed the products of the
Cotton Mills of the country, and, rs
South Carolina is the leading cotton
manufacturing State of tho South
and the second cotton manufacturing
State Of the Union, it is expected that
the display in this building "ill be
the most complete and attractive that
has ever been made.
The palaces of Agriculture and
Commerce will each contain about
forty thousand square feet of
floor area, in addition to their
connecting arcades which will con-
tain in all about 10000 square feet.
Each Of these buildings will have Il
central dome and smaller turrets at
the corners, emphasizing the en-
frances to these as we'll as the center
pediments. The interior Of these
buildings has been particularly de-
signed for both effective artistic treat
ment and practical utility. The
windows in all of these will be car
RED at least eight feet above the
floor, the roof trusses being con
structed upon the cantilever principle,
thus avoiding the usual massing of
unsightly wooden frame work and
emphasizing the granceful lines of
arches and circles. starting from the
principal do es and carried through
the wings and approaches.
The Administration Building is of
most attractive design and will be
occupied by the oflicrra and staff of
the Exposition. The Architect has
departed widely from tho usual style
in designing this structure. The
principal Exposition entrances and
exits have been combined with it,
The central dome of this building
will be about seventy five feet high
and each wing will be fanked by
other towers of lesser height but
equally artistic design. In harmony
with the Spanish Renaissance type
which will prevail throughout the
Exposition architecture the building
will be covered with a wide over
hanging roof of corrugated Spanish
tiles. At the centre q wide balcony
or porch will project boldly into tho
grounds. Inside the central domo,
which will be three stories in height,
richly decorated colonnade will
support the overhanging gallery.
The Mineral and Forestry Build
ing will contain between. twenty and
thirty thousand feet of floor space
This building will stand directly op-
posite the Administration building.
1t will be circular in form, with flank
ing towers. The interior will be
open from the ground to the rafters
and the exterior effects of strength
and solidity will be gained by huge
masses Of walls, tho enrichment of
this structure being occurred by spe-
cal ornamentation of its principal
and side entrances The windows of
this building will be high above the
floor line and tho whole effect of
light and shade will be gained by
overhanging wide cornices; the Span.
ish Renaissance and the Spanish
Mission'type of archi ecture, as ex.
