The Lodge that "Miss Scripps" Built With construction
of the original coast highway in 1915, Torrey Pines Park became the
gateway to San Diego, and Torrey Pines Lodge the focal point, welcoming
the newly mobile motoring public with a rest stop complete with food
and souvenirs. Designed by noted architects Requa and Jackson and built
between 1922-1923, this gracious Pueblo Revival structure was the gift
of philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps to the people of San Diego.
Today with its exhibits on natural history and Museum Shop, the Lodge
continues to welcome visitors to Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve. It
embodies the legacy and generosity of Miss Scripps, who wished all
could share her vision of “the scenic beauty and educational and
recreational value” of Torrey Pines. Preserving this legacy, through a
restoration of the Lodge, is our challenge in the 21st century.
