Summary

[edit]
Description

California Quadrangle, Gate of San Diego — at the Panama-California Exposition, Balboa Park, San Diego, California (1916).

  • This gateway, the principal ceremonial entrance to the Exposition, is, in a certain sense, a part of the Fine Arts Building which was erected by the city of San Diego, which fact has been marked by the coat-of-arms of the city at the crown of the arch. A deep archway is flanked by engaged Doric orders supporting a rich, fructrated entablature enclosing, in the spandrels, beautiful figures symbolizing the Atlantic and Pacific oceans joining waters together in the commemoration of the opening of the Panama Canal, the object of building the Exposition.
  • These figures are the work of Furio Piccirilli. The architect of the Fine Arts Building was Bertram Grosvernor Goodhue.
