The Lily Pond in San Diego's Balboa Park (formerly City Park), with the House of Hospitality (left) and the American Legion Building in the background. The Lily Pond, also known as the "Lagoon," Laguna de Las Flores, or Laguna de Espejo (Reflecting Pool) was built for the Panama-California International Exposition of 1915, along with the Palace of Better Housing on the left. This was originally known as the Commerce and Industries Building, later the Canadian Building, Electric Building, and eventually reconstructed as the Casa de Balboa. The Cafe of the World (right) was constructed as the Home Economy Building for the 1915 Exposition, and was also known as the Pan-Pacific Building and the American Legion Building before it was demolished in 1963 to make way for the Timken Museum.
