Santa Fe Depot
This building is the end of the line for train service and a hub for trolley and bus services. It opened in 1915 and was built in order to accommodate visitors to the Panama-California Exposition that was held in San Diego from 1915-1917.
I can't believe that this lovely building is a transport hub. I wish all city planners would take note that functional buildings can be beautiful. Angela

That arch is very inviting and the roof is full of interest.
What a charming building! It looks like something I'd imagine in a movie about India under colonial rule.
superbe immeuble, on dirait un petit chateau oriental.
superb building, one would say a small Eastern castle.

Oww, what a building. Looks like in a '1001 nights stories'.
Wow! Nice one.
