THE COLORADO BUILDING.—Occupying a prominent site near the popular northwestern entrance to the Exposition Grounds, and presenting a fine frontage, the Colorado Building was one of the most noticeable of State structures, and in detail fully deserved the attention it attracted. It was built in the Spanish Renaissance style, at a cost of $35,000, and was finished exteriorly in staff of an ivory color. Two slender Spanish towers, rising to a height of ninety-eight feet, gave character to the entrance, and the graceful ornamental designs above the portal arches and upon the towers contrasted well with and relieved properly the effect of the flat facade. The total area of the structure was one hundred and twenty-five by forty-five feet. The interior was devoted to office uses and to service as a State headquarters, and contained a number of beautiful apartments. A rear balcony, extending the entire length of the building, and overlooking one of the lagoons, made a delightful place of outdoor resort. Among the interior adornments was Powers’ statue, ” The Last of His Race,” for the purchase of which the women of Colorado contributed $19,000, and whichwas the object of much study and admiration. A magnificent onyx mantel was one of the features, illus-trative of the State’s varied resources, and there was a fine showing of it the flora and fauna, one which attracted great attention from students of natural history. In all departments of the Exposition Colorado was well represented. though, of course, it was in the Mines Building that it excelled.
