historic place
The City of San Diego Police Headquarters, Jails and Courts building was completed in 1939. Designed by architects Charles and Edward Quayle and Alberto O. Treganza, it displays an eclectic Spanish Colonial Revival style. Its construction was funded by the Public Works Administration and the Works Progress Administration, programs of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. This complex served as the main headquarters for the San Diego Police Department, including jails and courts, from 1939 until 1987. Today, the building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It has been adaptively reused and is now known as 'The Headquarters at Seaport Village,' preserving its historical presence.
