4. BALBOA_120711_182.JPG: House of Hospitality Built 1915 Rebuilt 1997 The House of Hospitality is one of Balboa Park's most honored structures. Originally built for the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, it was designed by renowned architect Carleton Winslow in the florid Spanish Baroque style of the 17th century. For the 1935 California Pacific International Exposition, local architect Richard Requa and contractor Walter Trepte created a garden courtyard, ballroom, fountain with a sculpture by Donal Hord, and added a terraced garden to the south. Important visitors included President Franklin D and First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. Historic reconstruction was completed in 1997 under the direction of historic preservation architect M Wayne Donaldson. Major awards include one from the National Trust for Historic Preservation. This beloved building, home to the Balboa Park Visitors Center and The Prado Restaurant, has been maintained and preserved since 1933 by the nonprofit Balboa Park Central.

Wikipedia Description: Balboa Park, San Diego, California
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Balboa Park is a 1,200 acre (4.9 km�) urban cultural park in San Diego, California, United States. Unlike some city parks which are mostly free of buildings in favor of open space and recreational fields (e.g. New York's Central Park), Balboa Park is a cultural complex. Besides open areas and natural vegetation, it contains a variety of cultural attractions including museums, theaters, gardens, shops and restaurants as well as the world-renowned San Diego Zoo. Balboa Park has been declared a National Historic Landmark. The park is managed and maintained by the City of San Diego Parks and Recreation Department.

Many of the park's attractions are along El Prado, a long, wide promenade running through the center of the park. Most of the buildings lining this street are in the Spanish Revival style, a richly ornamented eclectic mixture of Spanish and Latin American architecture. Along this boulevard are many of the park's museums, including the Museum of Man, the San Diego Museum of Art, the Museum of Photographic Arts, the San Diego Model Railroad Museum, the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center and Timken Museum of Art.

There are a number of gardens located in the park. These include Alcazar Garden, Botanical Building, Cactus Garden, Casa del Rey Moro Garden, Inez Grant Parker Memorial Rose Garden, Japanese Friendship Garden, Marston House Garden, Palm Canyon and Zoro Garden.

Other attractions include the Spreckels Organ Pavilion, which includes the world's largest outdoor pipe organ; The Old Globe Theatre, a replica of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre; a collection of "international cottages"; the Botanical Building with its accompanying reflecting pool; the Starlight Bowl; and the largest tenant of the park, the Balboa Park Golf Complex with an 18-hole golf course and a 9-hole executive golf course.

Balboa Park is adjacent to many of San Diego's neighborhoods including Downtown San Diego, ...More...

2012 photos: Trips this year: three Civil War Trust conferences (Shepherdstown, WV, Richmond, VA, and Williamsburg, VA), a week-long family reunion cruise of the Caribbean, another week-long family reunion in the Wisconsin Dells (with lots of in-transit time in Ohio and Indiana), and my 7th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including side trips to Zion, Bryce, the Grand Canyon, etc). Ego strokes: I had a picture of Miss DC, Ashley Boalch, published in the Washington Post. I had a photograph of the George Segal San Francisco Holocaust memorial used as the cover of Quebec Francais (issue 165). Not being able to read French, I'm not entirely sure what the article is about but, hey! And I guess what could be considered to be a positive thing, my site is now established enough that spammers have noticed it and I had to block 17,000 file description postings for Viagra and whatever else.. Equipment this year: My mainstays were the Fuji S100fs, Nikon D7000, and the new Fuji X-S1. I also used an underwater Fuji XP50 and a Nikon D600. The first three cameras all broke this year and had to be repaired. Number of photos taken this year: just below 410,000.
