San Diego Personal Injury Attorneys Move Downtown Office | CA Lawyers
Jul 19, 2010
Our main personal injury law office has recently relocated to 625 Broadway, Suite 815 in Downtown San Diego. The building, which is commonly known as the Historical John D. Spreckels Building, is one of the older office buildings Downtown and for three years was the tallest building in San Diego.
However, the most interesting aspect of the building is that it was built by one of San Diego’s leading founding fathers and one of the most interesting businessmen, John D. Spreckels. John Diedrich Spreckels was a true businessman with a grand vision for San Diego and its’ place as a major city in the United States. He was a savvy investor and conducted many projects to help build the city of San Diego to be as wonderful as it is today.
Born in South Carolina, Spreckels moved to New York and then San Francisco where he grew up. Coming from a family line of sharp business developers, including major interests in the Hawaiian sugar trade, Spreckels naturally made a lasting career out of being an entrepreneur. He is credited for helping to transform San Diego intto a beautiful metropolitan city by founding a railway system as well as hundreds of business buildings. The San Diego and Arizona Railway and the Hotel Del Coronado are just two of the most notable infrastructure landmarks that gave rise to the City’s modern development.
On a visit to San Diego from San Francisco, Spreckels was impressed and saw potential in the real estate of 
San Diego. He fell in love with the sleepy, but bankrupt coastal fishing village, and started his investment in Downtown San Diego along Broadway (known as D Street at that time) by purchasing and developing the wharf and dock at the foot of Broadway and San Diego Harbor. He soon spent his entire life building an empire of business buildings in and around the city.
After the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, Spreckels and his family moved permanently to San Diego where he quickly become known as the wealthiest man in town. He invested millions of dollars into the city and its development. He was the owner of properties such as Coronado Island, Belmont Park, the Union Building, The John D. Spreckels Building, Spreckels Theater, and many other well known structures. Thousands were employed because of him and he was president of various companies that were critical to the growth of San Diego as an important port and metropolitan area in California.
One of Spreckel’s most notable achievements was the development of the San Diego Electric Railway system. He was able to give citizens quick, cheap, and reliable transportation from all over San Diego. This was the first of any form of mass transportation in the city. Many of his buildings still stand today and tell the story of a large part of our city’s history.
John Spreckels was truly a very interesting and accomplished founding father for San Diego It is a great honor to have the Jurewitz Law Group’s office located inside such a prestigious and historic building built by such a great man.
