Description
San Diego Museum of Man (California Building) facade; detail, historical busts (Gaspar de Portola, the first Spanish governor of Southern California); The San Diego Museum of Man is a museum of anthropology located in Balboa Park. The museum is housed in four original buildings from the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, located on the California Quadrangle (Plaza de California), which was designed for the Exposition by Bertram G. Goodhue, including the California Building and the California Tower, one of the most prominent landmarks in San Diego. They set the theme of the park, which is Spanish Colonial and Mission (revival) style. The Quadrangle includes the California Building and Tower on the north side, and Evernham Hall and the St. Francis Chapel on the south side. Between them is an open space linked by arcaded passageways and massive arched gateways to form the Plaza de California. Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (accessed 7/23/2013)
