Early photograph of the Exhibition Building, 1895
The Exhibition Building shortly after its construction in 1891. Wooden buildings can be seen near the area that became the main entrance. A wooden fence surrounds the building. A Romanesque architectural style has been used. Numerous bands of red and cream brickwork were used in construction of the walls, archways and turrets. The rooves were of corrugated iron and the tower domes were sheet metal.
