Hotel San Diego (1914)

Hotel San Diego 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. 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." A new federal courthouse is approved for the site and it appears only a lack of funding is the only hope to save the building. For a city with as few important buildings left along Broadway the lost of this building will forever be felt.
