|
|a This grand entrance was originally named after the central plaza in Madrid, La Puerta del Sol (The Gate of the Sun). Altough contruction started in 1925, it was not completed until 1927 at a cost of $1 million. Architects Phineas Paist and Walter De Garmo designed the gateway along with Denman Fink. Cars would enter from Douglas Road or S.W. 8th Street and travel under its archway flanked by buildings containing art galleries, residential apartments and retail space. The declining real estate market halted the grander scale of the original plan to have the complex cover ten acres. |
