A view of the southern facade of the Palace of Fine Arts at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, taken across the north pond. There are about fifteen steps leading up to the large neoclassical entrance, a porch with four tall pillars, a triangular pediment, and a large dome. There are a few people walking between the building and the water, and about four gondolas docked in near the bottom of the porch steps. A pair of ducks, one white and one dark, are swimming in the foreground. Date supplied by cataloger, based on the year of the Exposition. One of forty-eight glass plate negatives originally housed together with a note by Latta: "Frank Robinson Merced Area Misc. Unidentified."
