Category:Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition United States Life Saving Station

English: This building was built as the U.S. Life Saving Station exhibit for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. Despite appearances, it was never a lighthouse, at least not in the sense of having a beacon to warn ships. In 1910, Hiram Conibear founded the Varsity Boat Club as a social organization for varsity upperclassmen who rowed on the University of Washington crew and originally housed it in this building.(Varsity Boat Club photograph collection, 1906-1984, Archives West).
