Torrey Pines Park Road Grade (1927) · Donald A. Hall Estate Collection

Documenting historic early 20th-century coastal infrastructure in San Diego, Donald A. Hall Sr. captured this winding dirt road secured by a white wooden fence along the steep sandstone bluffs of Torrey Pines in 1927. This provides a rare look at the original coastal highway grades before modern paving.
