Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego Due to a Congressional mandate to integrate the sexes in the military, the Marines are considering their options for MCRD, where female recruits are expected to arrive in February 2021. The base was designed more than a century ago in the Spanish Colonial style by Bertram Goodhue, the renowned New York-based architect who also created Balboa Park's 1915 exposition buildings and gardens. Twenty-five of the depot's buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places. A study, to be completed in 2021, is evaluating ways to accommodate women as residents and trainees. Renovating the facilities or selling the base, on about 388 acres of prime land near downtown, is possible. (Scroll to view more photos)   Photo by LCPL Robert D.
