circa 1935

 

 

The Arco Del Porvenir (Arch of the Future, also known as Arco del Futuro) was constructed for the California Pacific International Exposition of 1935 held in Balboa Park. The Palace of Photography, with its tower in the center of the photograph, was built as the Science and Education Building for the Panama-California International Exposition of 1915, becoming the Medical Arts Building in 1936, then the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars Building (1939) or War Memorial Building. To its left is the California Tower, also built for the Exposition of 1915 as part of the California State Building, known in 1935 as the Palace of Science. On the far left in the distance is the arch of the western entrance to San Diego's Balboa Park. The Palace of Photography was razed in the 1960s.
