Notes
  • Significance: The Nesmith-Greely Building, built in 1888, was designed by N.A. Comstock and Carl Trotsche, a leading architectural firm during San Diego's boom years. The structure with its Romanesque details, makes a notable contribution to the downtown streetscape. / The Nesmith-Greely Building, designed by N.A. Comstock and Carl Trotsche, was built in 1888, at a cost of $32,000. Its robust 4-story, Romanesque-like facade contrasts sharply with the ornate Bank of Commerce Building (Cal-1961) adjacent to it. The asymmetrical 3-bay facade is constructed of brick with stone, patterned brick, and sheet metal embellishment. Within, a skylighted shaft allowed light to penetrate to the second level as the building had exterior exposure on the front and rear surfaces only.
