Taken from the NRHP nomination form, "NESMITH-GREELY BUILDING, 825 Fifth Avenue, four-story, built 1888, Comstock £ Trotsche, Architects. This office block housed the San Diego Illustrated as well as notable professional San Diego businessmen who were drawn to the fashionable Romanesque Revival style. The brick coursing is of note as well as the circular lower elements capped by "stone" towers of coated sheet metal. Only the addition of the fire escape and some unfortunate signs mar its original beauty. The interior has been remodeled to accommodate its present hotel use."
