Buel-Town Building - San Diego, CA - Signs of History on Waymarking.com

This building now houses the Old Spaghetti Factory Restaurant and has a plaque at its entrance that reads:

"71
The Buel-Town Building, 1898

With its arched corner entrance and bay window, and
corbelled brick cornice, this building reflects the
originality of the architects Hebbard & Gill. Gill,
the principal designer, had a preference for natural
forms, over the highly ornate European styles
common of his era. This is evident in this structure
which was one of the earliest works. After serving
tenants such as the Western Metal Company and
Buel-Twon Chemicals, the building was converted for
use as The Old Spaghetti Factory Restaurant in 1974."
