Hotel San Diego (1914)
Millionaire developer John D. Spreckels built the Hotel San Diego, one of three buildings Spreckels constructed on Broadway. (His other buildings include the Union Building and the Spreckels Theater.) In 1983, the Hotel San Diego was listed as a Historical Site in San Diego and was deemed eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. According to the historical material, the six-story Hotel San Diego is significant not only for its architecture and size but is culturally important because of "its part in establishing the urban fabric of a growing city." For a city with as few important buildings as San Diego, how can we afford to lose another one?
