About the Business
The First San Diego Courthouse, located at 2733 San Diego Avenue in San Diego, California, is a historic institution with a rich history. Originally built by the Mormon Battalion in 1847 during the war with Mexico, this brick building served as the town hall and later as the city and county courthouse until 1869. It was also used for various community purposes such as meetings, church services, schools, and polling places during elections.
Despite being destroyed in a fire in 1872, the First San Diego Courthouse was reconstructed in 1992 by the First San Diego Courthouse Association, which now oversees its operation. Visitors can learn about the history of this iconic building and its significance in the development of San Diego. With its whitewashed brick walls and sloped roof, the courthouse stands as a testament to the resilience and perseverance of the early settlers in the area.
Reviews
"Many attractions in one place. The first jail in San Diego caught my attention. Unfortunately, we rushed on to other pleasant experiences."
"Hours are wrong on google, Apple, and their sign out front on the building. I also couldn’t get definitive hours on the phone."
"Behind the very first courthouse in San Diego, there is a jail house that one of my greatest uncle was housed there for a few weeks or so, I believe, my Mom told me this, he was one of the first criminals in that jail cell. He was part of the regulators with Billy the kid."
"You have to check out the jail cell. Just imagine being in one on a hot sunny day or a cold night."
"A small building, yet one has to remember important issues were brought here by people, to be discussed and resolved. The flooring looks like pine wood, it is light in color... be on the cautious side."
