Willis Polk and Louis Christian Mullgardt were quoted in this article about preserving some or all of the buildings of the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. Mullgardt advocated saving the central cluster of courts and palaces, namely the Palace of Fine Arts, the Palace of Horticulture, the Festival Hall, and the California Building. "What we shall really get is not yet clear; but that we shall save the Marina is quite certain, and that we shall keep the Palace of Fine Arts and the lagoon in front of it, is highly probable. As for the courts, which probably will have to go, we can retain them in our minds as a perpetual vision of infinite beauty."
