The Cabrillo Bridge, 1914, is clearly visible in this hand-tinted picture postcard on the upper left, leading to Panama-Callifornia Exposition buildings. Just below those buildings and separated by green patches from the Exposition buildings and old War Dispensary renamed the Naval Hospital (1919) can be seen. The card is oriented basically northwest to southeast, with the avenues running down to San Diego Bay. The prominent wharf in the foreground may be Horton's Wharf at the Bay end of Fifth Avenue. On the right, on Park Boulevard, San Diego High School as built in 1907 is visible. The Curt Teich number on the back is A-85992.
