Balboa Park, San Diego


I was in San Diego yesterday for a play at the Old Globe Theater in Balboa Park. "In 1915, Bertram Goodhue re-interpreted a masterful Spanish Baroque complete with Churrigueresque detailing, for El Prado, in Balboa Park for the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, for which he was the lead designer. The Panama-California Exposition's style was extremely influential and led to California adopting Spanish Colonial Revival architecture as its unofficial regional style, which continues to this day."
