La Mesa's Architectural History Topic of Roundtable Series Saturday

The La Mesa Historical Society will continue its 2013 roundtable series in the Grossmont Healthcare District Auditorium Saturday with speaker Alexander D. Bevil, a historic resources consultant and historian with the California State Parks Department in San Diego.

Bevil’s presentation will feature the story of architect Emmor Brooke Weaver, a contemporary of early 20th Century noted local architects such as Irving Gill and Richard Requa.  

Bevil will provide an overview of Weaver’s prolific San Diego architectural career including discussions of his over half-dozen buildings designed in La Mesa, including the original La Mesa Congregational Church (1911) and Ed Fletcher’s Grossmont Inn (1913) and the nearby John Vance Cheney House (1913).
