    Caption: "Forrestry [sic] Building, Portland Exposition." View of the Forestry Building of the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition. Constructed of approximately one million board feet of lumber, including dozens of unpeeled, old-growth tree trunks, the building was purchased by the City of Portland after the Exposition. The building was later destroyed by fire, in 1964. The Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition was held in Portland, Oregon from June 1st to October 15th, 1905. It celebrated the one-hundred year anniversary of the exploratory expedition of the Louisiana Purchase and what became the northwestern part of the United States, led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark. Some 1.6 million people visited the fair, viewing exhibits from twenty-one countries.
