Downtown San Diego Gaslamp District
San Diego's Historic Gaslamp Quarter has become one of San
Diego's most popular neighborhoods, featuring a charming blend of
old and new building teeming with activity. In the 1870s Alonzo
Horton built a wharf at the foot of Fifth Avenue and a development
boom ensued. Although these days a wide variety of people enjoy
the Gaslamp's bars and restaurants, the original visitors of the
1880s were gamblers and prostitutes, such as Wyatt Earp and Ida
Bailey, who founded numerous gambling halls, saloons and brothels
in San Diego's red light district, the Stingaree.
San Diego remained a popular navy liberty port until 1912 when
city officials cracked down on prostitution, effectively shutting
down the lively Stingaree. In 1885, the Chinese Mission School
opened; it quickly became a social center for Chinese and Japanese
immigrants and facilitated interaction between Caucasian and Asian
San Diegans. Today the Gaslamp's unique architecture stands as a
testament to its 30-year heyday, between the years 1880 and 1910.
Through the 1900s, the Gaslamp Quarter suffered economic and
social decline, as the old buildings deteriorated and criminal
activity mounted.
In an effort to combat social blight, the Redevelopment Agency
drew upon the historic character of the Gaslamp Quarter to infuse
it with new life. Their objective formed in 1976 was to
"preserve the distinctive character of the original
commercial architecture found in the Gaslamp Quarter while also
providing for orderly change." The success of Horton Plaza,
opened in 1985, helped stimulate the initial redevelopment
activity within the Gaslamp Quarter. This 16.5-block neighborhood
is now recognized on the National Register of Historic Places, and
its 94 historically or architecturally significant structures now
house more than 70 restaurants and nightclubs, movie theaters,
shops, offices, galleries and lofts.
The Asian Pacific Thematic District also has a significant
history in the Gaslamp, and several Asian-style buildings still
stand. Currently, 95,500 square feet of retail, 334 hotel rooms,
and 364 residential units are planned for development over the
next three years. Annual events such as Street Scene, the Mardi
Gras Celebration, ShamRock, Taste of Gaslamp, and Cinco in the
Gaslamp are held in this district, to the delight of San Diego
area residents and visitors.
