Historical significance: Granger Hall: Ralph Granger struck it rich in the silver mines of Colorado in the 1890's and located his family on an estate in Paradise Valley (8th Street). His love of violins led to his purchase of a large and expensive string collection. In 1898 he hired San Diego architect Irving Gill to build a private music hall for him near his house. Saved from demolition, Granger Music Hall was moved to its present site. In an effort spearheaded by the National City Historical Society, it was restored by the citizens of National City in the 1970's. Painted its original colors, it is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The interior features a 75-foot hand - painted mural on the ceiling portraying the Muses Euterpe and Erato, surrounded by cherubs. Due to the way the building was constructed, no wall is exactly parallel, so a microphone is not needed. Sound travels from one end of the hall to the other without distortion. Kimball House: Built in 1868, this home was built by a founder of National City — Frank Kimball. Three Kimball Brothers had relocated to southern California for the climate, acquiring the El Rancho de la Nacion in 1868 for agriculture and development. They advertised National City to buyers in the east as the most healthful climate on earth. The house boasted of being the first modern house in San Diego. It had a bath tub and hot running water. The house was acquired by the CDC and relocated near Brick Row in Heritage Square in the 1980's.
