-- modeled after a real
structure in toledo, spain.
this is silver mining community.
and so, all of the decoration on
the outside is very intricate.
very much like you would find.
any kind of jewelry or any kind
of, you know, plates made out of
silver.
as people entered into the
exposition grounds, one of the
important parts of why this expo
was created was to celebrate the
fact that san diego was the
first city you would come to in
the united states after going
through the panama canal.
so the imagery used on the
outside, the entrance into the
park was this image of two
people, one representing
pacifica, the other representing
atlantica, and they are the
ocean.
and in the center, you see them
italian there.
-- and in the center, you see
they have a ship.
