No Caption: This postcard shows several buildings of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition at night, outlined by electric lights. More than 20,000 electric lights were installed on the buildings for the fair. Held in Seattle to celebrate the development of the Pacific Northwest, the fair attracted 3.7 million visitors over the course of its run from June to October 1909. Although most of the fair's buildings have since been destroyed, several of them now serve as part of the University of Washington campus.

Caption: "Saltair Pavilion - Great Salt Lake," c.1923. Interior of the Saltair Pavilion on Utah's Great Salt Lake. Constructed in 1893 and designed by Richard K.A. Kletting, the Saltair resort set out to be the Western counterpart of Coney Island. The resort was a popular spot for Mormon families, only fifteen miles from Salt Lake City and overseen by Church leaders. The Church sold the building in 1906. It was later destroyed by fire in 1925, but a second pavilion was quickly built.
