A.Y.P.E. Panorama-o-rama 1909

June 10th, 2008 @ 12:27 am by Cliffe | Sorted Historic Buildingsborder
You already know how much I love the panorama. You also know how much I love the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. So why not bring them together? This super cool 1909 panorama(o-rama), snapped by A.J. Park, may be as close as any of us will get to being there. It’s enough to make Lukoff and I cry. It’s time we started planning a second A.Y.P.E. and building even more impressive buildings, all by Pb Elemental. Ok, maybe not, but I do kinda like their stuff. Have mercy on me. Click on the thumbnail for full resolution, but beware — this thing is massive.
