A view of the California Building at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. It is a large, broad building with arches lining the front of the building, and a raised dome over the center. There is some foot-traffic on the paths in front of the building and near the ice cream soda stand just left of center. Date supplied by cataloger, based on the year of the Exposition. Part of the glass negative has broken off in the lower left corner. One of forty-eight glass plate negatives originally housed together with a note by Latta: "Frank Robinson Merced Area Misc. Unidentified."
