William Penn out west

[trips4me]

Having just visited William Penn’s state, it reminded me of a photo I took in the Gaslamp quarters of San Diego. The William Penn Hotel is an historic building that originally opened as the Oxford Hotel but was later changed to the William Penn Hotel. I wasn’t able to find out why the name was changed, but probably somebody who had roots in Pennsylvania or was fond of William Penn. In any case the building is a nice historic building, but I enjoyed the vintage signage just as much. When we were there, I believe it was still a hotel, but now it is listed as “tastefully decorated one bedroom apartment homes.”
The Gaslamp quarters of San Diego has a vibrant night life with many nice historic buildings.
