The Spalding House at Point Loma Nazarine University.
The house was build in 1901 by Albert Spalding,
the sporting goods magnate. It is now known as
Mieras Hall, the office of the president of the university.
The Universal Brotherhood and Theosophical Society, founded
by Katherine Augusta Westcott (Madam) Tingley, was housed
here. Madam Tingley hoped the society would establish a core
set of beliefs based on the Universal Brotherhood of humanity
without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste, or color..."
Hope springs eternal...
