Historical Data	Originally named Agricultural Park in 1876, the 160-acre site was developed and served as an agricultural and horticultural fairground until approximately 1910, at which point it was re-named Exposition Park. On November 6, 1913, Exposition Park was formally dedicated, and became the home to a state Exposition Building and the county Museum of History, Science and Art. The Armory Building was designed in 1912 by State Architect J.W. Woollett for the California National Guard 160th Infantry. The seven and a half acre Rose Garden, also called Sunken Garden, evolved from the redevelopment of Agricultural Park, and was completed in 1928. In 2003 the California Science Center's Board of Directors voted to rename the Armory Building as the Wallis Annenberg Building for Science Learning and Innovation due to contributions toward the redevelopment of the building by architect Thomas Mayne, which reopened in 2004.
