It was Irving Gill's refusal to work in this style re San Diego's 1915-1916 Panama-California Exhibition which caused his break with Bertram G. Goodhue and Elmer Gray. Gill disliked copying decorative historic styles and endeavored to develop a new, local architecture. However, the public enthusiastically embraced Churrigueresque Revival as expressed in San Diego. It remained popular through to the 1930s when Streamline took over.
