The Casa del Prado was originally built for the 1915 fair as the Varied Industries Building and renamed the Foreign and Domestic Industries Building in 1916. Its name was changed to Food and Beverage Building for the 1935 fair. It housed the San Diego Aerospace Museum from 1963 to 1965. It was demolished in the 1960s for structural reasons and rebuilt using the original building as a model.
