SAVE OUR HERITAGE ORGANISATION TOUR BOOKLETS
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 since its inception.
These 48 tours from 1969 through 2016 have been digitized for your interest and as a resource. Here in these archives you will find the first mention of many sites as "historic" as what is obvious to us today was not always as obvious then. Every era brings new awareness to the places that matter to people. Today's great interest in modernism or brutalism would have been scoffed at in the 60s.
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 be inaccurate even or contain typos. Up until the year 2000, these tours were produced and written by all volunteers and research being a little more involved then with architecture and architects information hard to find before the internet age.
For more than 50 years, our educators, volunteer docents and events and program staff have shared the stories of San Diego's architecture with thousands of San Diegans and visitors while proceeds have always gone to support our educational mission.
We hope you will enjoy these tours down memory lane.
