It is the only Carnegie Building remaining in Orange County, which once had five, and boasts an architectural pedigree of near royal status -- at least among Southern California buildings.

San Diego
From its world-famous zoo and aquarium to its bountiful beaches, San Diego's vibrant and exciting lifestyle has plenty to offer visitors and their whole families.

It's the kind of city where every day is a beach day, and where everyone is busy having as much fun as possible.

A relaxed atmosphere pervades the city, probably one of the reasons that draw more than 30 million visitors a year to San Diego. Given the beautiful weather and outdoor activities abound, San Diego is probably one of the most pedestrian friendly cities in America. Families walk, skate, and bike their way to over 70 miles of beaches or any one of San Diego's numerous attractions
