Balboa Park
Panama-California Exposition
[1915-1916]
California Pacific Exposition
[1935-1936]
Two grand "World's Fairs" have largely defined Balboa Park. The California Building and Quadrangle, the Administration Building, the Botanical Building, the Spreckels Organ Pavilion and the New Mexico Building remain from the first exposition, as do four temporary buildings that have already been rebuilt.
