The Coronado Historical Association is dedicated to preserving our community’s special heritage and celebrating our past, present, and future.
In that spirit, every year since 2013 the Coronado Historical Association bestows a GEM award to the owner of a local home or business who, by Going the Extra Mile, accomplished exceptional results preserving a Coronado cultural resource. These dedicated community members choose to restore rather than replace these structures, ensuring that Coronado’s architectural GEMs remain in place for generations to come.
This year, our 2021 Community Nominees are:
1111 G Avenue, Built: 1914, Architectural Style: Bungalow, Architect: William Templeton Johnson; Builder Sidney D. Chapin
