JUNIPERO SERRA MUSEUM, IN PRESIDIO PARK

The Museum will soon be wrapped in scaffolding while the building gets a new roof. Perched on a hill above the intersection of Interstate Highways 5 and 8, the landmark building designed by William Templeton Johnson is a San Diego icon. Johnson designed several of San Diego’s significant buildings; most notable is the San Diego Museum of Art, which is just about finished with a renovation of the building’s stunning facade. Johnson and his wife were instrumental in the founding of Francis Parker school. He designed the Lower School campus.
