A second major project resulted from a design competition for a $100,000 building to house the State Normal School. The Hebbard & Gill plans, drawn by Gill, were selected over seven other architectural firms from San Diego, Los Angeles, and Texas.19 Constructed in three phases over a period of several years (1898 - 1904), the State Normal School became one of the largest and most impressive structures in the area and brought a great deal of attention to the architects. Styled after the Fine Arts Palace from the Columbian Exposition, which Gill had been familiar with in Chicago, the Normal School's smaller scale achieved a more purely classical feeling.20" On the web at: http://www.sandiegohistory.org/journal/90summer/hebbard.htm
