Auditorium only remaining building from Panama-Pacific Exhibition?

The Exposition Auditorium (now the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium) is not the only remaining building from the Pan-Pac Exhibition. Bernard Maybeck's Palace of Fine Arts was also built for the exhibition and it is definitely still standing. Unfortunately, I've found that it's not unusual for there to be wrong information on the NPS website. Suggested rewording of the sentence in the intro paragraph: "The Exposition Auditorium (now called the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium) is one of two remaining buildings from the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition (Bernard Maybeck's Palace of Fine Arts is the other." The problem is that I'm not absolutely sure that they're the only two. --Sanfranman59 (talk) 00:57, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Panorama

I've added a 360° panoramic view. It has a few minor artifacts, but I think none of them interfere with it giving a very good overview of the Civic Center. If anyone is interested in trying to do better in generating a panorama from the underlying photos I was working with, let me know (on my talk page) and I can make them available. - Jmabel | Talk 22:03, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Civic Center in San Francisco, California, is an area located a few blocks north of the intersection of Market Street and Van Ness Avenue that contains many of the city's largest government and cultural institutions. It has two large plazas and a number of buildings in classical architectural style. This 2016 panoramic photograph of the Civic Center at dusk was taken from 100 Van Ness Avenue. The domed building in the center is the San Francisco City Hall, flanked by the War Memorial Opera House and the Herbst Theatre on the left, and Civic Center Plaza on the right.
