Historic Building Survey plaque: "34 The Hubbell Building, 1886. The Hubbell Building is a three-story brick building constructed in the Victorian style. The lower floor has been used mainly for retail, particularly clothing stores. Some of the more notable shops were The Arcade, specializing in ladies' fancy goods, City of Paris Clothing, and George Marston's Gentlemen's furnishings. Marston's was very successful in San Diego and operated here until it moved into its own building next door. The upper floors were leased to the Grand Army of the Republic from 1904 to 1926."
