Although I felt like a slack-jawed gawker doing it, I couldn't help but snap after . Hopefully next time I come back, all the construction will be done and I'll actually get to go inside!

I went there on a field trip once (the exploratorium, from what I remember, was pretty awesome) and I was also very impressed by that structure. I have always remembered it. It was built for the world's fair I think in 1915.
