Special Presentation: Restoring the Grandeur of the Hotel del Coronado
Completed in 1888, the Hotel del Coronado is a rare and iconic example of a Queen Anne Victorian seaside resort—and one of the largest wooden structures in the U.S. In this visually rich presentation, preservation architect David Marshall, AIA, shares highlights from the recently completed $160 million rehabilitation, the most significant restoration in the hotel's history. Through dozens of striking before-and-after photos, attendees will learn how missing historic elements were meticulously replicated, inappropriate alterations removed, and modern upgrades—from ADA access to mechanical systems—seamlessly integrated. This comprehensive project offers valuable insights into large-scale preservation, design decision-making, and respectful modernization of a beloved National Historic Landmark.
