Walking Tour: Scripps/Irving Gill Historic Landmarks

Explore the Scripps/Gill Cultural Zone, featuring prominent buildings created through the collaboration of architect and builder Irving Gill and Ellen Browning Scripps.

When Gill arrived in San Diego in 1893, the Arts and Crafts movement was gaining popularity, and his early designs reflected its influence. By 1908, he had developed the mature style that would make him a pioneer of early modernism, characterized by clean facades and a lack of ornamental detail. This tour highlights the history and culture of early 20th century La Jolla, with a special focus on the historic landmark buildings associated with Scripps and Gill.
