History: In the late 1950’s, Colonel Irving Salomon commissioned architect, Henry Hester to design a luxury apartment building with 30 spacious units and sprawling penthouse at what is now known as the “Salomon Building” or often referred to as the “3200 Building”. The one to three bedroom units were showcased in a 1960 edition of San Diego Magazine. Colonel Salomon selected Mr. Hester over John Lloyd Wright, the son of legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright, as Hester’s vision was to create an airy and free-flowing environment to favor the beautiful views of historic Balboa Park and westerly to take advantage of the colorfully amazing San Diego sunsets. When the development was first opened it was marketed as “San Diego’s Most Distinguished Place to Live”. Decades later, the “Colonel Irving Salomon / Henry Hester Apartments” were converted to condominiums and noted by many as one of the “crown jewels” of mid-century architecture in San Diego. A true architectural and historical landmark perfectly positioned across from the world famous Balboa Park with easy of access to the San Diego Zoo, museums, restaurants, and so much more!
