| dc.description | Looking up at projecting center of east facade and open bell gables; It was designed by Carleton Winslow in 1912 with help from supervising architect Bertram Goodhue. Frank P. Allen, Jr. the Exposition's Director of Works, supervised the construction and H. L. Schmohl fashioned exterior ornament, after drawings supplied by Winslow. The projecting facade of the east side facing the Plaza de Panama, which covered an arcade at the lower level, was taken from the facade of the Sanctuary of Guadalupe in Guadalajara, Mexico. The reference was a photograph in Sylvester Baxter's book, Spanish-Colonial Architecture in Mexico. (Baxter. Vol. 10, plate 137). During the 1935-1936 exhibition the building was renamed the House of Charm, by which name it is still known today. In 1989 the city of San Diego decided to tear down and rebuild the House of Charm, along with the House of Hospitality which was in similar disrepair. The recreated House of Charm building was reopened on September 21, 1996, with external features carefully duplicating the original highly ornamented exterior. The building now houses the Museum of the Living Artist (MoLA) and the Mingei International Museum. Source: San Diego History Center; https://www.sandiegohistory.org/ (accessed 7/27/2013) | en_US |
