Top of the San Diego Museum of Art Bulding (Fine Arts Gallery). The Spanish Renaissance plateresque style building was designed by William Templeton Johnson (1877-1950) and Robert W. Snyder (1874-1955) and built in 1925-1926. Architectural sculptor Chris Mueller enhanced the facade with the addition of sculptural elements, such as heraldic images, life-size sculptors of Spanish Old Master painters and Coats-of-Arms of Spain, the United States, California and the City of San Diego.
