Grecian-Ionic in style, the Fine Arts Building is a pure type of the most refined classic architecture. The building is oblong, and is 500x320 feet, intersected north, south, east and west by a great nave and transept 100 feet wide and 70 feet high, at the intersec¬ tion of which is a dome 60 feet in diameter. The building is 125 feet to the top of the dome, which is surmounted by a colossal statue of the type of the famous figure of Winged Victory. The transept has a clear space through the center of 60 feet, being lighted entirely from above. On either side are galleries 20 feet wide and 24 feet above the floor. The collections of sculptures are displayed on the main floor of the nave and transept, and on the walls, both of the ground floor and of the galleries, are ample areas for display¬ ing the paintings and sculptured panels in relief. The corners made by the crossing of the nave and transept are filled with small picture galleries. Around the entire building are galleries 40 feet wide, forming a continuous promenade. Between the promenade and the naves are the smaller rooms devoted to private collections of paintings and the colleo tions of the various art schools. On either side of the main building, and connected with it by handsome corridors, are very large annexes. The main building is entered by foui great portals, richly ornamented with architectural sculpture and approached by broad flights of steps. The walls of the loggia of the colonnades are highly decorated with mural paintings, illustrating the history and progress of the arts. The frieze of the exterior walls and the pediments of the principal entrances are ornamented with sculptures and portraits in bas-relief of the masters of ancient art. All light is supplied through glass skylights in iron frames. The building is located in the northern portion of the park, with the south front facing the lagoon. It is separated from the lagoon by terraces ornamented with balustrades, with an immense flight of steps leading down from the main portal to the lagoon, where there is a landing for boats. The immediate neighborhood of the building is ornamented with groups of statues, replica ornaments of classic art, such as the Choragic monument, the "Cave of the Winds,” and other beautiful examples of the Grecian art. The ornamenta¬ tion also includes statues of heroic and life-size proportions. Architect, P. B. Atwood, of Chicago, Designer-in-Chief of the Exposition. KEY TO INSTALLATION. This building, which is expressly devoted to the exhibit of fine arts, painting, sculpture and statuary, is a central figure in itself, and is divided into four great courts known as the north, south, east and west courts. These lead into a massive space known as the central dome. Each space for exhibits is indicated by a number in connection with the court in which it is located. In connection with the main building are pavilions located at each corner, where exhibits will also be shown, an exterior colonnade extending from each pavilion to the north and south courts. The paintings, sculpture and groups of statuary are each indicated in regular numerical order. The location of the exhibit will be found by referring to the name of the exhibitor in the catalogue and then glancing at the diagram where the court, or gallery, containing the exhibit is shown, together with the number of the painting, etc. The exhibits in the loggias.and also on the second floor, are indicated in like manner. 13 u 15 14 13 1 34 EAST COURT ,J ROTUNDA J f WEST COURT .•UiisJj. irLv107 | 106 | 105 | „I04 | 103 3 ^ ' * * : 30 31 32 33 35 2 , *9 -t-1 * NORTH •• |—f- 1 i COURT 128 34 t MJ I 51 1 52* 53 54J55 [40 78*77 75^74 73J | , 1 CENTRAL PAVILION -4 1 56 ^58^ 5? 41 • i ii It' it it IS at lit ib it* m 79 71 [ « 1 S80] 1 r - 45 44j43 |42 65 j 66 67 68 69 l47 46!
