2020 Most Endangered List of Historic Resources
Call for Nominations
September/October 2020
 The Tourist Hotel was threatened in 2009 with the construction of a new large-scale, mixed-use commercial and residential building on its site. After listed as an MEL, advocacy efforts saved the last two-story wooden Victorian-era Italianate style hotel in San Diego for now. It is listed on the local Register of Historical Resources and was slated for incorporated into the new development project. A project we will keep our eyes on whenever it moves forward. |
In bringing attention to threatened buildings, sites, and places, SOHO's Most Endangered List has raised awareness countywide and resulted in many success stories.
Every year, numerous historic properties across San Diego County are threatened by demolition or neglect. Collectively, these properties contribute to the quality of life we enjoy and shape the daily experiences of living in small towns, cities, and rural areas. Our historic resources paint a distinct San Diego portrait, and it is certainly no overstatement that their loss would leave large gaps in that canvas.
If you know of a historic resource that is threatened with demolition or excessive alteration, please let us know by submitting this form, due October 1. Your submission is not a guarantee that it will be added to the list. SOHO's board of directors has the ultimate decision on the list each year.
SOHO works on a wide range of preservation issues throughout San Diego County. All our advocacy efforts share a common goal: to protect and preserve the historic architectural and cultural resources along with sites and landscapes of our region, for the lasting enrichment of all.
