+ MUSEUM OF SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY formerly
   THE PALACE OF FINE ARTS at the WORLD'S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION

    CHARLES BOWLER ATWOOD, ARCHITECT for D. H BURNHAM & COMPANY


    CHARLES ATWOOD'S MASTERPIECE. Viewed from the West.

     Viewed from the North and South, the Museum is clearly one primary Structure
     flanked by two defining Wings. But when viewed from the west the building takes 
     on a new characteristic:  A Temple District.




  MUSEUM OF SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY. Overlooking Columbia Basin and Wooded Island

   Atwood's design is purely classic:  A cruciform plan topped by a massive dome with two wings framing
   the entrance. The wings are faced with a colonnade and both terminate with a smaller temple. Massive porticos,
   north and south, are the Palace entries.

    Designed by Alfred Patrick Shaw for the architectural firm of Shaw, Naess and Murphy,
    the Museum's Interiors received a remarkable update, as Graham Anderson Probst and 
    White restored the Classic exterior.
