Significance: This industrial complex was one of the earliest and largest in San Diego. It was the production site of the first "puncture-proof" pneumatic automobile tire, an invention of international importance. Modified in 1934, this factory represented an unusual example of conversion to a post-exhibition brewery, one of only three extant in the city, and manufacturer of the local, internationally-awarded ABC (Aztec Brewing Company) beer. Portions of the complex were designed by prominent architects Quayle & Quayle (1911) and Eugene Hoffman (1915), with later modifications by Arlo R. Sedgeley, Richard Griesser, and Chester Kirkpatrick (1933-34). Murals of a high artistic value were employed at the site, executed by the internationally-acclaimed artist, Jose Moya del Pino.
