San Diego Then and Now pairs up fascinating archive pictures of the
city from its Spanish old town origins, to the bright and shining
metropolis of today Known to its residents as "America's Finest
City," San Diego has a mild, inviting climate and stunning coastal
scenery. San Diego Then and Now looks at how the city developed
from a small village settled by early Franciscan missionaries and
the Spanish military. It came under U.S. rule in 1846, but it was
not until 1867 when San Francisco speculator and businessman Alonzo
E. Horton acquired 960 acres of waterfront land and promoted it as
"New Town" that San Diego really began to take off. San Diego Then
and Now pairs archival photographs with modern views of the same
scene to illustrate the city's growth since these humble
beginnings. It shows how the city's architecture still reflects and
preserves its Spanish heritage but also incorporates modern glass
skyscrapers and Victorian mansions. Sites include: Horton Plaza,
U.S. Grant Hotel, Stingaree District, Speckels Theatre, Fifth
Avenue, Seaport Village, Embarcadero, Star of India, Coronado,
Hotel del Coronado, Santa Fe Depot, Carnegie Library, El Cortez
Hotel, Long-Waterman Mansion, Villa Montezuma, The Prado, San Diego
Zoo, Old Globe Theatre, San Diego High School, Hillcrest, City
Heights, Kensington, La Casa de Estudillo, Casa de Bandini, Whaley
House, Junipero Serra Museum, Ballast Point, Point Loma, Ocean
Beach and Pacific Beach.
The story of California began when a Portuguese captain sailing for
Spain found a beautiful natural harbor as he plied his way up the
Pacific coast. Little could he have imagined that dropping his
anchor in what is now San Diego Bay would be the birth of the
Golden State. Ask any Californian and you’ll quickly learn that
California is like two states in one: In the north are rocky
cliffs, rugged beaches, and a heritage that harkens back to gold
rush days. In the south is the quintessential "postcard”
California of orange trees, warm ocean breezes, and boulevards
lined with palm trees. Whichever California you favor, both have a
rich heritage based in the cultures of Spain, England, Russia,
China, and America. Citizens from all these lands came to
California early, and all had a hand in building the nation’s
most populace state. This is her story.
