San Diego is justly proud of her new
MarSton Store, which was opened tG
the public on the first of May last
To have a retail store which for beauty
and completeness compares favorably
with the best stores in the large cities
is surely cause for pride in a Cali
fornia city of $4,000 population, and
that is what San Diego has in the
new ''Marston's."
Located diagonally opposite from
the old building, on the north side of
c street, extending from Fifth to Sixth.
the new store measures 100 by 200
feet, with entrances on all three
streets. 1t has five stories and base
ment and is built of reinforced con
crete i'll Italian renaissance style OF
architecture. The exterior is partic-
ularly graceful and pleasing. 1t is
finished with La Fargo cement, which
causes the building to stand out from
its surroundings, an almost pure white
structure of unusual beauty.
Within, the arrangement is both at
tractiye and convenient The fixtures
are Of genuine mahogany, in the most
modern type, at once rich, simple and
artistic. There are three passenger

Construction is progressing RAPIDLY

block bounded by F street, Union
State and G. The steel frame is IN
tC the third floor and the masons are

ment costing nearly a quarter of >

Another important improvement is

an ingenious device by which air is
constantly being pumped into the base

spray of water which abstracts all i'm

Other Buildings

San Diego's business center is be
coming one of the most substantial IN
the world, great structures Of rein.
forced concrete giving metropolitan
aspect to the city.
In reviewing the DEVELOPMENT. the
San Diego Union thus goes INTO the
details of development:
prominent feature of San Diego's
phenomenal building record of the
past year was the large number of
business blocks erected on all the
principal downtown thoroughfares. In
1910 the building activity in this and
all other respects outdistanced the
records of all previous years but does
not approach the figures Of the year
Just ended.
Never before in the history Of San
Diego has the city experienced such
great building activity as in 1911.
New buildings Of the year are nearly
% per cent more than in 1910. and the
number of business blocks erected
shows a proportionate increase.
There have been started or complet-
cd during the year at least sixty busi-
ness blocks having a total street front
age OF more than II 900 feet, or about
two miles They range in size from
one 70 eleven stories and in cost from
$4,000 to more than 100000
These figures do not include the
hundreds of cottages, bungalows. resi-
aences, apartment houses and fiat
buildings which have sprung I'D in all
sections OF the city filling in vacant
lots and covering soldly whole blocks
oi lahd winch year ago were entire
y vacant with nothing but drv sage
brush in sight. Nor does it include
the several churches completed Only
buildings which are to be devoted
wholly or in part to business purposes
are included in this list.
All this building activity has had its
effect in spreading the retail business
dlstrlct over much greater area than
heretofore has existed, and the older
streets have been greatly improved bv
the replacement of shacky'' frame
buildings by fireproof and semi-fire-
proof structures. House movers and
wrecking companies nave been kept
busy all the year. A common sight
almost any day in the year was dwell
ling being hauled away to a more re-
mote part of the city, giving way for

Business has moved north couple
Of blocks on Fifth street on account
of the several new blocks that have
sprung up during the year. A year
ago, A street was practically the
northern limit of the retail district
but now stores are doing a successful
business nearly as far up as Beech.
This refers only to the downtown re-
tail development. Business also has
expanded both north and south from
Fir on Fifth, where public garages
have taken a strong fOothold, and at
Fifth and University avenue where
retail district of it's own has sprung
up during the last few years.

sidered backward and out Of the way.

ments during the year and is rapidly

derfully in this respect during the
year as has d street east from Seventh
| and west from Third. Improvements
under way on d street will give thar
| thoroughfare a big squirt to the front
during the new year and a good start
| toward being one of the finest busi-
ness streets in southern California.
Third street, which a year and
half ago amounted to nothing as
business street, probably made the
| most headway OF any in the downtown
district. Five fine buildings have
been completed Oh this street between
Is and F, another has been started
and work will soon be commenced on
another. All those completed during
the year are occupied. They include
