Overview

This was one of the two earliest buildings on the The Bishop's School for Girls Campus in La Jolla, CA, a design by the notable San Diego architect Irving J. Gill. The other early building on the campus was Scripps Hall (1910-1911). Gill's highly simplified formal vocabulary embodied the school's motto of "Simplicity, Sincerity, Serenity.”

Building History

The first Episcopal Bishop of Los Angeles, Joseph Horsfall Johnson (1847-1928) chartered this school for girls in La Jolla in 1909. Johnson obtained money from the philanthropically minded Scripps Family, specifically Ellen Browning Scripps (1836-1932) and her half-sister, Eliza Virginia Scripps (1852-1921).
