Caption: "San Diego." View of Point Loma Light. First lit in 1891, this light replaced the "Old Point Loma Lighthouse" that had been constructed in 1855 (see 96-07-08-alb08-225). The old lighthouse was often obscured by fog, so a new lighthouse was built at a lower elevation much closer to sea level, as can be seen in this photograph. The light was automated in 1973.

Caption: "Thames River Bridge, New London, Connecticut. Where Harvard and Yale Hold their Annual Rowing Regatta, Sept. 4, 1934." View of two bridges over the Thames River near New London, Connecticut. The drawbridge in the foreground was originally a railroad bridge, built in the late nineteenth century. Later, as automobiles grew in popularity, this bridge was converted to use by vehicles (cars can be seen driving over it in this photograph), and a second bridge was constructed for railroad use (a locomotive can be seen behind the two cars). Neither of these bridges survives today, having been replaced by the Gold Star Memorial Bridge.

Caption: "High School -- San Diego," c. 1910. By 1902 San Diego's schools had become overcrowded enough to warrant the construction of a new high school building. Completed in 1907 and designed by F.S. Allen, the new building was quickly nicknamed the "Grey Castle on the Hill" in reference to its castle-like parapets and towers. The Grey Castle was torn down in 1975 to make way for a facility in compliance with new earthquake safety laws.
