OUR HISTORY
A HISTORICAL VIEW
THE HISTORY OF OUR BUILDING BEGINS IN 1887 WHEN IT HOUSED THE SAN DIEGO PUBLIC LIBRARY. THIRTEEN YEARS LATER AT THE TURN OF THE CENTURY THE ENTIRE CITY GOVERNMENT MOVED INTO THE BUILDING; WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ON THE FIRST FLOOR AND THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS ON THE FOURTH. THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO, AND THE MEMBERS OF ITS GOVERNMENT OCCUPIED THE BUILDING AND RAN SAN DIEGO FOR THE NEXT 35 YEARS DEVELOPING THE CITY TO WHAT IS IS TODAY. AMERICA’S FINEST CITY!
“JUST PLANE FUN”
