San Diego CA— Known for its naval history, the development of Liberty Station is triumphant in its efforts to preserve a historic military site and retain its symbolic architecture for the community. As a Navy foothold in Southern California, Liberty Station has served as one of the military’s most historic navy training facilities. San Diegans can honor the achievements and remember the sacrifices of service members by exploring Liberty Station’s rich military.
Remember and honor our heroes with a walk back through time:

• Upon entrance, Liberty Station has preserved the historical corridors that welcome visitors upon arrival. Named after the base’s first commander, Sellers Plaza and Gate One creates a memorable landmark for locals, guests and recruits to appreciate. Sellers Plaza served as the Naval Training Center’s front doors and twin guard buildings flank and the gate with the steel arch was added in 1932. Sellers Plaza and Gate One is now the oldest part of Liberty Station!
• The community’s architecture has been restored and repurposed to preserve the neighborhood’s history. The Sybil Stockdale Rose Garden is an intimate courtyard with a central foundation and intertwining pathways nestled between two lawns. As a gift to honor Navy wives, their fortitude and the sacrifices they make, the vibrant rosebushes are dedicated to loved ones.
• The streets of Liberty Station are named after naval heroes, paying respect to the men and women who served our country. Just off Truxtun and Roosevelt Road is Luce Auditorium or Building 35, which opened in 1942 for sailors and their dates to enjoy theater performances from well-known bands to popular comedians for only 25 cents a ticket. This space is now occupied by THE LOT, a modern luxury movie theater where guests can sit back and relax in comfy leather recliners. THE LOT’s design preserves the building’s original oak stage and exposed concrete proscenium, where the curtains once hung.

Today, Liberty Station is a lively hub for boutique shopping, art spectating, and tasty restaurants that’s still deeply rooted in its naval history that goes beyond being a top neighborhood to live, work and play.
