Description






Completed in 1929 and designed by architect Tommie Walker, the structure marks the site where European civilization in Alta California began. Inside, displays overseen by the San Diego History Center trace the area's diverse indigenous heritage alongside the Spanish colonial period and early regional development. Outside, peaceful park grounds look out across the San Diego River valley and Mission Bay.
