Description	The Botanical Building — front facade and gardens, in Balboa Park, San Diego. Designed by Carleton Winslow for the 1915 Panama-California Exposition. The Botanical Building is located at the north of the cross axis to the Prado between the Pan-Pacific and the Foreign and Domestic Products Buildings. Immediately in front of the Botanical Building lies the long oblong pool called La Laguna, crossed, at its upper end, by a balustrated bridge. The pool is invaluable for its reflections; the inverted pictures are broken by the water growth which increases in density as it approaches the upper end, terminating immediately in front of the Botanical Building in almost swamp-like richness of vegetation. Massed around the court and pool are many varieties of the blackwood acacia, grevillia, camphor, araucaria, and the ever-present eucalyptus. In the pool are many varieties of lilies, principally the lotus.
