Mid-Century May Company Icon Designated
The May Company building in the Mission Valley Shopping Center (1702 Camino Del Rio North), a well-known Mid-Century icon designed by William S. Lewis, Jr., is a most exciting designation to kick off the new year. Adding to the excitement is the recognition of Lewis as a master architect, whose work over the years illustrates "a greatness in the field of architecture," according to the historic report. Over his long career, Lewis led his firm's design of such notable buildings as the San Diego Convention Center, Torrey Pines High School, the UCSD Humanities Library, and another freeway icon, the Mormon Temple. When Irwin Jacobs' plan for Balboa Park was proposed, Lewis, who was then semi-retired, voluntarily designed an alternative intended to preserve the historic heart of the park.
