Lost Buildings of Balboa Park

[@SeungYeonFan]

Most buildings for expos are temporary structures and were not built to last. Towers such as Balboa Park's California Tower and Paris' Eiffel Tower are usually the exception, even though many fought to have the Eiffel Tower torn down. The most spectacular and significant architecture of all would be the 1893 Chicago World's Fair (the subject of Devil and The White City) in which very little still remains. Balboa Park has quite a few buildings left over from its two expos.

My Maternal Grandmother visited with her family and took photos in 1925.

Y’all might want to research Tartaria to see the source of these buildings.

Y'all might want to research actual facts rather than 'Tartarian' fantasies. Records of the fair construction exist.

Yeah, and usually it's the crap buildings that stand the test of time...
