Description: United States Building, the arcade — at the Panama-California Exposition, Balboa Park, San Diego, California. The arcade of the Government Building, or Sacramento Valley Building, extends through the flanking pavilions and is connected with the adjoining buildings by arcades with vine-covered pergolas above. Looking through the arcade towards the west gives to the visitor one of the best vistas in the Exposition. Down a few steps, out between high, neatly trimmed hedges, the scene is stopped by a cross hedge growing close to a fountain niche containing a quaintly leering faun.
