SAVE OUR HERITAGE ORGANISATION TOUR AND EXHIBITION BOOKLETS
Since its inception, SOHO's knowledgeable architectural historians and old house enthusiasts have been sharing the fascinating stories behind hundreds of buildings and numerous neighborhoods throughout San Diego through historic home tours and exhibitions.
These multiple tours and exhibitions, spanning from 1969 through 2024, have been digitized for your interest and as a resource. Within these archives, you'll encounter the first mentions of many sites now deemed "historic." What may seem obvious to us today was not always so in the past. Each era brings new awareness to places that matter to people; for instance, today's great interest in modernism or brutalism would have been met with skepticism in the 1960s.
It was, in fact, SOHO's historic home and architecture tours that woke an entire city to its architectural and cultural treasures and allowed us and others to begin saving and documenting our historic resources.
Sadly, you will also find that some of these wonderful historic places are now gone. Some of the history on the earliest tours may even be inaccurate or contain typos. Before the year 2000, these tours were produced and written solely by volunteers. Research, particularly on architecture and architects, was more challenging due to limited access to information in the pre-internet era.
For over 50 years, our educators, volunteer docents, and events and program staff have been dedicated to sharing the stories of San Diego's architecture with thousands of San Diegans and visitors. Throughout this time, proceeds from these endeavors have always gone to support our educational mission.
