MICHIGAN BUILDING

There are few State buildings at the Exposition more advantageously situated than that of Michigan. Located near the United States Fisheries pavilion, it commands a great sweep of the Plateau of States and affords a view of many of the great exhibit palaces. With its fine Ionic columns, its terraces and verandas, this building, viewed from the exterior, produces a favorable impression that is confirmed by the interior. The large reception hall on the first floor communicates by a broad staircase with the roomy apartments above, used chiefly by the Commissioners. On this floor there is a room devoted to the exhibit of Little Traverse Bay and the northern Michigan resorts, and .the furniture here is of special interest and beauty. AU of the furniture of the building is lent for the season by the manufacturers who have made the State famous in their line of industry. The Michigan building was erected at a cost of 514,000, and is peculiarly adapted to its purposes, for it is cool, airy, artistically simple and home-like. The State has exhibits of interest and importance in the palaces of Varied Industries, Manufactures, Education, Agriculture, Mines and Forestry.
