Description	Canadian Building, the Prado facade — of the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, Balboa Park, San Diego, California. The Canadian Building, formerly the Commerce and Industries Building, occupies the southeast corner of the group of the main buildings of the Exposition. Outstandingly ornate, it is much in keeping with the usual conception of a world's fair exhibit building, yet its interesting Spanish ornament keeps it in harmony with the other buildings of this Exposition. In general it reminds one of the Casa Consistorial at Palma, Majorca, Spain, especially in the cornice treament where bright blue, red, green and gold have been introduced in soffit and frieze with excellent effect. On the Prado front two pavilions project out to the face of the arcades, marking the entrances to the interior. At these points, the arcades widen at the interior into spacious vestibules. The building is the work of Frank P. Allen, Jr. — the exposition's general contractor.
