One hundred years ago today, the Pan Pacific World's Fair ended. Like a store going out of business, everything had to go! The only problem was that there was 635 acres of stuff to get rid of.
Everything was for sale; the exhibits, displays, sculpture, and even the buildings. Scavengers came and took what they could. What didn’t sell was destroyed. The exposition buildings were designed to be temporary with simple framed structures covered with plaster wire walls. Even the gas, power, and water lines were removed. The land was redeveloped into the Marina District we know today.
