How the architecture of the Panama-California Exposition,
which influenced the appearance of all California, flowed from designs
of famed buildings in historic Spain, Mexico and Italy

	Adjoining the great Cathedral of Mexico in Mexico City is the Sanctuary with its two flanking chapels, as shown in an old sketch [at bottom]. Its facade is considered one of the best examples of the Spanish-Colonial Churrigueresque style which Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue adapted to his California Building [at top]. The facade of the California Building, shown at upper left, is set with the sculptured figures of San Diego's early history, the work of the Piccirilli brothers. The design of the little chapels became the inspiration for the east entrance to the largest of the exposition buildings, shown [at center], facing along the road to the amusement area, later the zoo.
