The Junior League of San Diego recently held a ribbon-cutting to celebrate its reopened historic headquarters at 210 Maple St. in Bankers Hill following a long-awaited renovation.

The project cost $750,000. It was primarily funded by past and present league members to provide space for its 1,000 volunteer members, 120 community partners and 1,200 youth exiting foster care. The building was built in 1917 and designed in the style of Irving Gill by the acclaimed architect’s nephew and partner, Louis Gill.

Present at the ribbon-cutting and grand reopening ceremony were Paul Baribault, president and chief executive officer of San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance; Dan McAllister, San Diego County Treasurer; and Mara Elliott, San Diego city attorney.
