Lily Pond & Botanical Building at Balboa Park

Update Nov. 2022: This photo has been identified as the Lily Pond & Botanical Building at Balboa Park.

Do you recognize this beautiful estate?

This photo is one of many found in a series of old early 1900's Badger Gem family scrapbooks that were donated anonymously by a family in Green Valley Arizona. These photos seem to be of select areas including Southern California, Chico, Coronado San Diego, Long Beach Pasadena, Yellowstone National Park, Colorado, and the Continental Divide.

Where is this estate located?

Date & Place: at Botanical Building 1549 El Prado, in San Diego, San Diego County, California 92101, United States

There is a big botanical garden in California somewhere - am kicking myself because I can't think of the name of it now. I think that might be what this is.

I am interested in the last names Pinna, Benning, Kroetsch, Finazzo, and Kroetch.
My family pays a lot of attention to the past which heavily influenced us to start AncientFaces.

I love antique photographs. In addition to sharing old photos of my family, I am also going through my collection of "antique store people". They've been sitting in a storage tub in my back room much too long and maybe some of their families will be able to find them here. If I'm able to identify the people in the photo, I upload it not only to AncientFaces, but also to Ancestry, FamilySearch, and Find-A-Grave. If the person in the picture is a military veteran, the photo also goes on Fold3. I figure that the more places I upload these pictures, the greater the chance that a relative will be able to find them.
