Book Description
Excerpt from Official Guide Book of the Panama-California Exposition, Giving in Detail, Location and Description of Buildings, Exhibits and Concessions: With Floor Plans of the Buildings and Exterior Views While most automobile passenger business involving the parking of automobiles in the Exposition comes to the north gate (La Puerta del Norte), the principal entrances for pedestrian traffic and street car traffic are via the west and south gates. The west approach is by the way of the great Puente Cabrillo, a masterpiece of engineering which bridges the Canon Cabrillo. This structure is one thousand ten feet long, rising from a pool one hundred thirty-five feet below, and is the first reinforced concrete viaduct of the cantilever unit type which has been built. From the parapets can be obtained a good idea of the extraordinary planting which constitutes one of the most important features of the Exposition Beautiful. At the far side, just beyond the Administration Building, is the great stone gateway which is copied after the portals of numerous cities in Old and New Spain. El Prado, the main street of the Exposition, is a continuation of the Puente and leads almost due east through the Plaza de California, and into the Plaza de Panama; thence, on to the east and to the point where the visitors coming by the south gate must enter. It is suggested that the first trip through the Exposition be devoted not so much to a visit of the individual buildings and the study of the interesting exhibits, as to a tour which enables the visitor to get a good idea of the broader features of the Exposition and grounds. Thus, after one is well within the stone gateway, and has noted casually the dominant types of architecture at either side, the cathedral type, as demonstrated in the California State Building to the left, and the old mission type, as demonstrated in the Fine Arts Building at the right, the trip should be continued through the opposite arch and for a few feet along the cloister at the south side of the Prado. Here at the right comes a succession of six steps, leading upward and into Los Jardines de Montezuma (Garden of Montezuma) which lies between the Fine Arts Building and the Indian Arts Building. The garden is surrounded by a great succession of the bronze lamps which form the principal means of illumination throughout the grounds, and is filled with plants grown extensively in the formal gardens of Southern California. Still bearing to the right, the visitor comes to a gateway partially concealed by the shrubbery, and passes down four steps to a calcada, or foot path, which skirts the ridge forming the Canon Cabrillo.
