Former Salvation Army Rooms - San Diego, CA - Salvation Army Locations on Waymarking.com

Located at a building which now houses the Don Chido restaurant, the sign reads:

"Higgins-Begole Building, 1873

Two separate buildings were joined in a single facade sometime before
1921. The north half of this building's first story was constructed circa
1868, the oldest documented brick building in the Gaslamp Quarter.
W.E. Begole who ran the hardware store, added a second story in 1878
and third in 1886. The south two-story Art Deco building
was constructed by Mr. Higgins in 1873 and a third story added between
1906 and 1921 when the facades were joined. It served as a grocery,
dry goods store and billiard parlor. The upper floors were rented rooms,
most likely a bordello before the 1912 Stingaree raid. It also served as
rooms for the Salvation Army, Hotel Togo and Hawaiian Hotel."
