The Spanish Cavalier (by Allen Newman) is the type of man who came to
America in the 16th century, during the period following its discovery.
He is the type of Spanish conqueror (conquistador).
The Pirate (by Allen Newman) is the type of man who infested the shores of Spanish-America and preyed upon the commerce.
The Palaces are intimately placed for several reasons.
From experiences at previous Expositions "tired feet" are strongly to be considered, hence the nearness of the buildings.
San Francisco has a few (?) windy and foggy days in the Trade Wind Season, so if the walls are high and near together, the courts on the inside of those walls will be well protected from both winds and fogs. The high walls lift the cool air so that it passes over the buildings of the great block, thus sheltering the courts within.

Now that you have walked around the façades of the palaces of this great block system, you can start with your courts.
I would strongly suggest that you study all of your buildings of this group first, before entering the courts for close work.
