 “There are certain expectations that are called for in the City Charter, and if they’re not going to provide those service levels than the mayor needs to let the public know. The strong-mayor form of government doesn’t say that the public should be shut out of the process.”

Hillcrest’s House of Heirloom


House of Heirlooms building deemed Historic!
Thursday afternoon the San Diego’s Historic Resource Board disregarded the City’s own staff report and unanimously voted to designate the House of Heirlooms structure as historical. The 1919 building is the oldest one still remaining from the original St. Joseph’s Hospital complex. Thank you to everyone who spoke up and emailed in. You made a difference!

Please e-mail Toni Atkins for her support (in case the developer appeals this historic status).
