for the Community of Gaslamp

Community:

The Gaslamp Quarter of San Diego-Center is a major reason that tourists flock to San Diego. The 16.5 block neighborhood is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and contains 94 structures that are historically and architecturally significant. The district now houses over 70 restaurants and nightclubs as well as movie theaters, shops, offices, galleries, apartments and lofts. There are over 350 businesses in the Quarter. The area has had many names over the years--Rabbitville, Flea Town, New Town San Diego, Davis Folly, Stingaree, Chinatown and SOB (South of Broadway). Alonzo Horton built a wharf at the foot of Fifth Avenue and promoted the area as the business district for his new town. The district's fortunes rose and fell according to San Diego's prosperity. It's reputation as an unsavory, lawless red-light was well-earned during several periods of its history. Ultimately though the area just slid into disrepair and decay. As bad as that was for San Diego at the time, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. With no money available to redo the buildings, a number of beautiful Victorian commercial buildings survived intact. In 1982, the area became a major redevelopment project for the City of San Diego. Developers and restoration experts were encouraged to purchase and redevelop these buildings for reuse as restaurants, galleries, offices, lofts and apartments. The old-fashioned gaslamps have been restored and wide brick sidewalks encourage strolling and sidewalk dining. Many of the buildings in the Gaslamp are over a 100 years old and styles include Classical Revival, Spanish Renaissance Revival, Modern, Oriental, Spanish, Baroque and Italian Baroque Revival styles. The eclectic mix of styles makes the streetscape a delight for the eye especially for the viewer who remembers to look up. The details include stained glass windows, corbels, moldings, carvings, railings and more, much of it painted bright colors, Architects include such notables as Irving Gill, the Reid Brothers (Hotel Dell Coronado) and William Templeton Johnson. The Gaslamp Quarter Historical Foundation is "curator" of the Gaslamp Quarter and works to promote and preserve the historical integrity of the district. The Foundation offers walking tours of the district each Saturday and other educational programs that raise community awareness of the uniqueness of the Quarter. The Foundation uses the historic William Heath Davis House as its headquarters. The house is the oldest wooden structure standing in San Diego, and it has never been modified or electrified. The house is open for guided tours. Today the GasLamp Quarter is a successful redevelopment project that attracts tourists and locals to its cafes, nightlife and unique shopping. The area hosts a Mardi Gras celebration that is beginning to rival New Orleans and Street Scene, one of the biggest live-music festivals in California .
