Add a one-line explanation of what this file represents
The factual accuracy of this postcard is disputed.
While this is presumably an accurate representation of a 1908 postcard, that postcard does not accurately represent the grounds of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific-Exposition (1909). It should be used with caution as a representation of anything other than the postcard itself. See description for further explanation.

Photo during construction
This postcard seems to be based on this photo, take during construction. However, the postcard shows the Geyser Basin filled in, which is completely anachronistic for having only these buildings completed. In the construction photo, the Alaska Building and U.S. Government Building have not yet been started. The Auditorium is visible in more or less this position, not yet blocked by the Alaska Building, and Parrington Hall (right of the Alaska Monument) is not yet blocked by the U.S. Government Building.
