Built for the Panama–Pacific International Exposition in 1915, the Palace of Fine Arts is a San Francisco landmark. This photo taken about five years after the Expo, and the remnants of the fair buildings are still visible. Check out also the Presidio and Crissy Field! Part of our collection of photos taken by S.H Page, an early aviator, aerial photographer, and mechanical engineer, this collection was generously donated to us by Charles Page.
