REMEMBER WHEN Brown Military Academy occupied 16 acres in the middle of Pacific Beach? The late Adare McAllister took this photo in July 1958, showing the northwest corner of Garnet Avenue and Lamont Street. The administration building, seen through the Class of ’29 Arch, was built in 1887 as the San Diego College of Arts and Letters. It was later the College Inn and Hotel Balboa. I will share, in the future, a few more of Adare’s photos, courtesy of his wife, Gerry.
