El Prado Arcade - El Prado Complex - San Diego, CA - NRHP Historic Districts - Contributing Buildings on Waymarking.com

The El Prado Complex is a historic district in Balboa Park in San Diego, California. The 13-acre (5.3 ha) complex includes 13 contributing buildings and one contributing structure. Most of the structures were built for San Diego's Panama-California Exposition of 1915–16 and were refurbished and re-used for the California Pacific International Exposition of 1935–36. The original architects were Bertram Goodhue and Carleton Winslow. The area was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

The El Prado Complex corresponds to El Prado, the central avenue, together with the buildings and plazas on either side of it.

The El Prado Arcade is a continuous covered arcade and walkway demarcated by arches, on both sides of El Prado Avenue. It has hardly changed since 1915, with the exception of repairs.
