San Diego Trust and Savings Bank

Have you ever checked into the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel located on Sixth and Broadway and checked out feeling like a million bucks? Chances are it is because you were staying in a room that actually held a million dollars at one point! Still named the San Diego Trust and Savings Bank building, this Romanesque Revival building was designed by William Templeton Johnson and opened on April 14, 1928. It was the fourth headquarters location for the prominent local bank established by Joseph W. Sefton in 1889. Although repurposed for hotel use in 1999, the bank vault is still in use nowadays for small conferences and the bank teller cages are now used as the registration desk. Just goes to show you, modern times may check-in, but historic style never checks out! #sandiegohistory #sandiego #sdtrustsavingsbank For more historic pictures of the San Diego Trust and Savings Bank building visit our historic photo collection at https://photostore.sandiegohistory.org/gallery/.

Do you know which local ship is the oldest iron-hulled merchant ship still floating, is one of the oldest ships in the world that still sails, and the fourth-oldest ship afloat in the United States? It’s the Star of India! A California Historical Landmark and US National Historic Landmark, the Star of India is part of the Maritime Museum of San Diego. Before her restoration in the early 1960s, she had a long life at sea. Built in 1863 at Ramsey Shipyard in the Isle of Man, the full-rigged iron windjammer was originally named Euterpe after the muse of music and poetry. She first traveled back and forth from Great Britain to India in the jute trade. From 1871 to 1897, she was a New Zealand emigrant trade vessel between Great Britain and New Zealand. By 1901, she had been sold to the Alaska Packers' Association and re-rigged as a barque (barc) to carry fishermen, cannery workers, coal, and canning supplies from Oakland, California to Nushagak in the Bering Sea and returned with holds of canned salmon. She was given her current name in 1906 to be consistent with the rest of the fleet until her retirement in 1926. #sandiegohistory #starofindia

Among the lasting impacts that George W. Marston made on the city of San Diego, his department store on 5th Ave. and C Street holds the hearts of many San Diegans still today. Marston’s was the place to shop for not only clothing and accessories but also memories. If it was worth buying, it was worth even more when it came from Marston’s because of the intimate and custom experience provided in every department. Spring brought shoppers the smell of fresh cut flowers, coloring activities on menus for kids in the Tea Room, fashion shows with diverse clothing models walking around and even a small branch library located near the drapery department. At the store’s “Golden Anniversary” in 1928, Marston referred to his department store as an institution that would serve the community in civic affairs. In the spirit of Marston’s civic vision, and in celebration of his birthday today, we hope you will visit the San Diego History Center’s new interactive exhibit called Marston’s History Emporium: A Hands-on Learning Lab. Who knows what fragrances, activities, and fashion trends you and your family will find during your visit? After that, visit the Marston House Museum nearby! #sandiegohistory #georgemarston #marston

U.S. Grant Jr., son of former President Ulysses S. Grant, launched the construction of the centrally located U.S. Grant hotel, located at Third Ave. and Broadway St. On October 15, 1910 the U.S. Grant Hotel opened on the site where the Horton House (started by Alonzo Horton) previously stood under the management of James H. Holmes, formerly of Pasadena. Designed by Harrison Albright, the building immediately received worldwide recognition for its 437 rooms, 350 of which had private baths, a roof garden, palm court, bivouac grill, dining room, and a magnificent ballroom. Special features of the building included its white marble main staircase, blue marble Belgian base in the lobby, and reinforced cement which made the building fireproof. On August 27, 1979, the hotel was listed on the National Register of Historic Sites and to this day, a portrait of 18th United States President, U.S. Grant hangs in the lobby of the hotel. #sandiegohistory #usgranthotel

How do you keep a world-famous magician from escaping a sealed shipping case? You can’t, for his mind is always thinking outside the box. However, for a few moments on October 9, 1907, the greatest magician of all time was able to convince four employees from Marston’s Department Store that it was possible. After escaping the leg irons, shackles and straitjackets of the previous two nights, the “King of Handcuffs” himself Harry Houdini ended a three-night show at the Grand Theatre by escaping a shipping case wrapped in rope and nailed shut by Marston’s employees. But like any true magician Houdini was able to bring a smile to Marston’s employees; even at their disappointment that he escaped! Tomorrow will be the 110th anniversary of Houdini's performance at the Grand Theater in San Diego! His performance was advertised in The San Diego Union just days before with ticket prices ranging from 50¢ to $1.50. #sandiegohistory #harryhoudini #houdini #grandtheater #sandiegounion #magician #sandiego

Charles Schneider

It's October and #fashion is in the air. Fashion Week San Diego begins October 4 and marks 10 years of showcasing beautiful and innovative designs from all over the world. To celebrate, we searched through our photograph collection and found a few gems from photographer Charles Schneider. Schneider, born in NYC, was a graduate of the New York Institute of Photograph (1937). As a young man, he was a photographer for the Air Force and was stationed in Cairo, Egypt during WWII. When his tour of duty ended, he returned to New York where he pursued a career in fashion photography. In 1946, Schneider moved to La Jolla and worked as bureau chief of United Press International’s foreign office in Hollywood. He opened a fashion studio in the 1970s and, toward the end of his career, he was a photographer for Solar Turbines. After retiring in 1985, Schneider volunteered at the San Diego History Center and donated a collection of prints to the Archives. These are a few samples of his work, most of which were taken for San Diego Magazine. #sandiegohistory #fwsd #fashionweeksd #charlesschneider #sandiegomagazine

Nino Marcelli - "Bolero"

To provide musical opportunities for San Diego’s musicians, including his students, Nino Marcelli founded the Civic Symphony Orchestra in 1927, which later became the San Diego Symphony Orchestra. Born in Rome in 1890, Marcelli moved to Santiago, Chile as a child. From a young age, he showed an interest and talent for music which led him to attend Santiago’s National Music Conservancy. As a teenager, Marcelli began conducting the Santiago Symphony Orchestra where he was celebrated for his 1913 performance of the complete Beethoven symphonic cycle, a first in South America. During World War I, Marcelli won a contest to become the conductor of the American Army Headquarters Band in Paris, France. While traveling through Europe and North America, Marcelli expanded his music experience. After WWI, he was a cellist in the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, and in 1920, Marcelli came to San Diego to take charge of the San Diego High School Orchestra, bringing the high school’s orchestra national recognition and later founded the Civic Symphony Orchestra which would become the San Diego Symphony Orchestra. Despite his many commitments, Marcelli’s first priority was always his high school students, and in 1960 he was honored with the Mancini teaching award for the outstanding musical instruction of young people. This is a clip of "Bolero" from Carmelita, A Light Opera in three Acts performed on March 27, 1947 at San Diego High School. In the clip, you can hear the performers on the stage set off a cannon and the audience laughing in the background. #sandiegohistory #classicalmusicmonth #ninomarcelli #sandiegohighschool #music #opera

The Spreckels Theater opened on August 23, 1912, as the first modern commercial playhouse west of the Mississippi and one of the largest west of New York City. Commissioned by John D. Spreckels to commemorate the Panama-California Exhibition, the theater opened with 1915 seats, the same number as the year of the upcoming Exposition. George Broadhurst’s “Bought and Paid For,” was imported directly from Broadway for the occasion. Known for its handsome baroque style, the theater was designed by architect Harrison Albright. With paintings by Emil Mazy decorating the proscenium and the ceiling, sculptures by Charles C. Cristadoro, a stained glass window by Tiffany Studios, and Albright’s impeccable design, the Spreckels Theater came to be known as one of the most beautiful theaters in the world. State of the art, the theater’s grand stage (82 feet x 58 feet) combined with its large stage doors allowed for a showing of “Ben Hur” in 1923, which included actors and horses rushing out the Second Avenue stage entrance and racing back onstage through the First Avenue entrance. In continuous operation since its opening, the Spreckels Theater still dazzles spectators with its architecture and shows, while staying innovative with the times. #sandiegohistory #spreckelstheater #spreckels

One hundred and thirty-one years ago, on July 4, 1886, the San Diego Street Car Company was created as the first transit system in San Diego. The enterprise was led by Elisha S. Babcock, Jr. and Hampton L. Story, and the first streetcars began operating down D Street (now Broadway). For only five cents, riders could take the two-mile track from the foot of Fifth and L Streets (Fifth Street was later called Fifth Avenue) to D Street and from there down to the bay. These mule and horse drawn streetcars raced into town, making San Diego the third town to institute trolley service west of the Mississippi. The San Diego Street Car Company pushed San Diego into the modern age and set the stage for future transit development. In less than a year several lines wove through downtown with more on the way. As the transit system matured, switches, crossings, and special track work were added. The switch was eventually removed and replaced by a turntable. After sixteen months of business, in November 1887, San Diego Street Car Company pioneered public transportation with the first electric streetcars. #sandiegohistory #sdtransit #sdstreetcarcompany

Belmont Park celebrated another birthday! On July 4, 1925, the highly anticipated Mission Beach Amusement Center, now Belmont Park, opened to the public with the Giant Dipper roller coaster as the most popular attraction. John D. Spreckels, the owner of Mission Beach, began developing the area with the opening of the La Jolla Street Car Line in 1924 and the building of the four-million dollar amusement park in the area, and by April of 1925, he promised the patrons of Mission Beach the biggest roller coaster in the world. When the Amusement Center first opened, it was complete with a fun house, carousel, rideable miniature railroad, roller rink, casino, ballroom, the Natatorium (aka The Plunge swimming pool), and more! At the time, someone could take the La Jolla Streetcar Line (via Route 16) from downtown to Mission Beach for only 20 cents one way or 25 cents round trip. At the time of its opening, the Natatorium was the largest salt-water pool in the world holding 400,000 gallons of water with an architectural style modeled from Balboa Park, site of the Panama – California Exposition of 1915). ©SDHC Photo Collection: Opening Day, Giant Dipper line, #86:15782; Giant Dipper, 1925, # UT:1947; Women on Rollerskates, Mission Beach, 1926, # UT:4656; Mission Beach Ticket Office, 1925, #1724-9

Victoria Jacob's Diary

Victoria Jacobs lived in Old Town in the 1850s. Through her diary, she gave us a first person account of Jewish family life in early San Diego including her relationships with her family, finance, friends, and neighbors. She also describes her regular routines, as well as social outings and holidays. Most surviving diaries from early California are penned by men and focus on the gold rush. A diary written by a Jewish adolescent female in 1850s San Diego is a rare and remarkable treasure. Learn more about Victoria Jacobs and see her real diary in our exhibition, "Celebrate San Diego!

Before Jack Box graced our television screens as the mascot for Jack in the Box in the 1980s, the Jack-in-the-box clown sat atop the drive-thru speaker at the fast food restaurant’s various locations. This plastic Jack-in-the-Box clown head found in our #objectcollection did not adorn a drive-thru speaker but was well-worn by the restaurant’s staff. #foodMW #museumweek #sandiegohistory

What do newspaper barons, chickens from the sea and the world’s oldest sailing ship have in common? On this National Maritime Day it’s important to recognize their contributions in making San Diego a maritime city. In 1905 a family of newspaper entrepreneurs in La Jolla began funding the world renowned Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Later, canneries along the San Diego Bay would inspire a brand of tuna called Chicken of the Sea and along the same harbor in 1926 the Star of India would anchor one last time to become a maritime museum. Oh yeah, the U.S. Navy is here too, helping to make San Diego “America’s Finest Maritime City”! #SanDiegoHistory #NationalMaritimeDay #SanDiego

Contested Histories: The U.S.-Mexico Border

Museums are unique, safe, cultural spaces that encourage questions and discussions on art, history, and the world around us through exhibitions, collections, and educational programs. For #InternationalMuseumDay, we raise awareness of the important role museums play in society by highlighting one of the contested histories that the San Diego History Center addressed in a photo exhibition in 2016, “Border: A Line that Divides.” The U.S.-Mexico border was not always so militarized. It was the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act that prompted the first Immigration Officers to patrol the line to prevent illegal crossings, eventually prompting the development of the human-smuggling industry. Tensions rose as Prohibition prompted Americans to head south to drink, but complained about what they perceived as excessive crime south of the border. The Mexican Revolution and two world wars also heightened the United States’ interest in monitoring who was crossing the border, fearing spillover violence, invasion, and enemy sympathizers.
