An 1899 article from the engineering journal Engineering describing the Textile Building under construction on the Champ de Mars for the Paris Exhibition of 1900. It covers the building's location, facades, dimensions, naves, galleries and steel roof framing, along with the contractors' travelling erection staging and steam hoists. A plate of engineering plans, sections and elevations is included. It deals with the building's architecture and construction, not with textiles or weaving.
