San Francisco was host to the 1915 World’s Fair, also known as the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. For the duration of the exposition, the Ferry Building’s tower was festooned with lights boldly proclaiming “1915” to visitors on both sides of the Bay. In early March, that iconic lighting will return thanks to the efforts of some dedicated individuals. Photo: Ferry Building illuminated for Panama Pacific International Exposition, 1915.
