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, Victorian-influenced mansions, and the funky surfer shacks of the 1960’s. This 144-page hardback takes a fascinating look at change and preservation in one of America’s most beautiful coastal areas.
