Have you ever thought to yourself, “Gee, I wonder whatever happened to the old Point Loma House hotel”? No? Never even heard of it, you say?
How about those enormous and fantastic colored glass domes that used to sit on the very top of the ridge that we call Point Loma? Talk about a landmark! Those domes were spectacular, sparkling in the sun by day and illuminated at night.
They say that between the turn of the last century and the Second World War, any mariner approaching Point Loma from the Pacific would see those domes long before they would see the new (1891) Point Loma Light. The domes were even indicated on all the navigational charts of the period.
