Chula Vista / Moderne
I met my mom for a walk on Mother's Day. She wanted to go to downtown Chula Vista, where we both grew up. There is a surprising amount of good architecture left in the old commercial area. One of the sweetest is this 1939 Streamline Moderne doctor's office. Apparently this was my doctor's office when I was a baby. McCausland-Robinson Clinic. The office was started by Dr. William McCausland, his son John and Dr. Frank Robinson. Source: Chula Vista Star The Vogue opened in 1945. Frank Hope Jr. was the architect It closed in 2006 and it seems like every year there is a new plan to bring it back to life.
