Description
Black and white floor plans for the Woman's Building. The top of the page depicts the lagoon and landing at the water front with two floor plans below.
The top design shows the first floor of the building with the individual rooms carved out and labeled. There are two large rooms on either side of the floor with small sections marked out for different countries to have their own exhibits. The center of the building has smaller rooms marked for smaller exhibits and there is one main room for the 'Lone Exhibit'.
The bottom drawing is of the second floor of the building, which is laid out in a similar style to the first floor, with two larger rooms on the North and South sides of the buildings and smaller rooms on the inside.
