San Diego - Gaslamp Quarter National Historic District

In downtown San Diego is the Gaslamp Quarter National Historic District, an area of restored late 19th and early 20th Century Victorian buildings. In its day this place was the hub of activity but following the Second World War the district became a disreputable area. In the 1970s the area received renewed interest and underwent restorations, eventually leading to it being listed as on the National Register of Historic Places.
