The beautifully ornate Casa del Prado was erected for the 1915-1916 exposition as the Food and Beverage building. It served many purposes over the years but had to be torn down in the 1960s.
The Committee of One Hundred, a citizens’ organization formed in 1967, fought for preservation and collected money for the building to be completely reconstructed. This group is still active and very much involved in the preservation of the Spanish Colonial architecture in Balboa Park.
