Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. According to the negative sleeve for this set, these photographs are of the San Diego Fair, about 1912. The buildings in some of the photographs were not built until 1915. It is more likely that these images are were taken in 1915. In 1915 and through 1916, San Diego hosted the Panama-California Exposition, for which many of the buildings in the photographs were built. The photographs most likely document this event.
