The Exposition was launched to commemorate the landing of the Spanish padres and the founding of California. The Exposition buildings, designed by architect Hugh R. Davies, were modeled on North Africa's walled cities.
Native American men and women wearing feathered headdresses, silver concho belts, bead work, and other native clothing pose by a pueblo building replica at the 1928 Pacific Southwest Exposition in Long Beach. Dried peppers and corn hang from wooden beams and a ladder providing access to the second floor leans against the building.
