Wood at California Paciftc International Exposition

Washington-Wood, as light and heavy structural material, is well demonstrated in the buildings of the California Pacific International Exposition at San Diego. The nucleus of the Exposition structures was the buildings put up for the Exposition of 1915. Many of them were retained in place and are fulfilling their functions satisfactorily today. These original buildings are all of wood frame construction, but they were put up for temporary use or were more remarkable for their ornate exteriors than for their structural excellence. So, in the building work for the present Exposition, the first step was to strengthen, rehabilitate, and provide earthquake resistivity in these old buildings. This was successfully done and they we:e soon put into excellent condition as semi-permanent buildings, able to withstand termites, rot and any loading to which i, they are subject.

For both thq reconstruction and construction work Theo. C. Combs of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association engineering field Staff, was called uporl for advice; and on his recommendation J. H. Davis, who later became chief structural engineer,of the Exposition, was entrusted with the building engine'er's duties. The buildings were put up under his general supervision and direction by SERA labor, working under regularly employed foremen and superintendents.

All of the buildings are considered temporary with the exception of the Ford building and the Music Bowl. All are entirely of wood-frame or heavy timber construction except that the Ford building has a steel frame, and also that a few small buildings were necessarily built of other materials at the last moment because San Diego's lumber supply was by that time completely exhausted. The Ford building was originally designed as an all-wood structure, but on account of the impossibility of getting a contractor to bind himself to erect the contemplated large building on time, a steel frame was substituted-as it was found possible to get a Los Angeles fabrication plant to give its exclusive attention to the Ford building.

In three of the small buildings toothed-ring connectors were extensively used, namely, the Music Bowl, the California State Building, and the Travel, Transportation and Water Building.

Several of the exhibit buildings are of great interest and significance to the lumber industry. The Casa de Tempo (house of the period) is a particular attraction. It is a two-story wood-frame dwelling of the California Monterey type, designed by Jackson & Hamill, San Diego. Its construction is excellent and its decorative uses of hardwood flooring, natural Redwood, Presdwood and Flexwood are charming.

The State Department of Education is exhibiting plans, specifications, photographs, sketches, etc., of lumber-built, earthquake-resistive school houses. Three sets of plans and specifications are attached to display counters for inspection, and all three of them are of wood frame schools, namely, Corona Avenue School, Bell; Roosevelt School, Santa Monica, and a school in Compton. The.Roosevelt school was featured in the lumber industry's earthquake school house program and visitors who leave their addresses receive copies of the Modern Schools Leaflet No. I from the National Lumber Manufacturers Association.
