In 1910 it became the San Diego Army and Navy Academy founded by Col. Thomas A. Davis. In 1936, the Academy moved to Carlsbad and the facility was sold to the John Brown Schools and the name was changed to the Brown Military Academy. It is now the site of a Pacific Beach shopping center. (Photo by Erickson)
