GEORGIA BUILDING

Every piece of material used in its construction, and every article of furniture that ornaments the interior of the Georgia building is a product of that State. The structure was built by funds contributed by the different cities, and the magnificent furnishings are the gifts of the generous people of Georgia. In selecting a design for the building, honor was paid to one of Georgia’s most illustrious sons and the South’s most chivalrous soldier. It is a reproduction of "Sutherland,” the country home of General John B. Gordon, and everywhere about this big house there is an air of wholesome hospitality. Its imposing presence gives grace to the surroundings and makes of The Trail one of the most interesting of Exposition streets. Across this broad thoroughfare, west of “Sutherland,” is the Temple of Fraternity and the California and Illinois State buildings. Each of the rooms is furnished in choice woodsand the furniture is of special design. On the wall of the ladies’ reception room is an old portrait of General Gordon by Mrs. G. K. Gregory, and, in tire gentlemen’s room, an oil portrait of Gov. Hammond, the first governor of the Province of St. Louis, after the acquisition of the Louisiana Territory by Jefferson.
