While it's true that the Gaslamp Quarter of San Diego is made up of one of the most extensive collections of architecturally significant historic buildings in the country, the collection of interesting and colorful characters who built, lived and worked in the buildings is almost as extensive and certainly as interesting! Among them are William Heath Davis, Alonzo E. Horton, Wyatt Earp, Ah Quin, Police Chief Keno Wilson, and the notorious madam Ida Bailey. Click on their name to learn about a few of these characters, or visit www.sandiegohistory.org.
