The House of Hospitality

This building houses the Visitors Center for Balboa Park as well as the Prado Restaurant, function rooms and offices.
It was built for the Panama-California Exposition in 1914.
The building's principal facade, on the southeast side of the Plaza de Panama, borrowed details from the sixteenth century Plateresque-style facade of the Hospital of Santa Cruz in Toledo, Spain.

Toll! Jede Menge Nippes. In der Stadt aus der ich komme, würde man sagen: 'Gelsenkirchener Barock'. Herrliches Licht. v
