SAN DIEGO
No longer an eyesore, the facade of the San Diego Automotive Museum in Balboa Park has been painstakingly restored following a six-year, $715,000 preservation effort that ties into a broader campaign to rehabilitate the Palisades in keeping with the 1935 California Pacific International Exposition.
On Tuesday, the Committee of 100, the all-volunteer group behind the restoration effort, is celebrating the building’s return to its roots by presenting four 8-by-18-foot murals to Mayor Todd Gloria, who will accept them on behalf of the city.
