About Legion of Honor Courtyard
The Legion of Honor was the gift of Alma de Bretteville Spreckels, wife of the sugar magnate and thoroughbred racehorse owner/breeder Adolph B. Spreckels.The building is a full-scale replica of the French Pavilion at the 1915 Panama–Pacific International Exposition. At the close of the exposition the French government granted Spreckels permission to construct a permanent replica of the French Pavilion, but World War I delayed the groundbreaking until 1921. -from Wikipedia
