La Mesa Historical Society’s History Roundtable series provides an encore video, with author James Newland's presentation about Grossmont Center’s construction, often unrecognized architectural heritage, and its role as an economic catalyst for the City of La Mesa and Greater La Mesa Region.
Newland, a La Mesa resident, and a historian & manager with the California State Parks department, is also President of the La Mesa Historical Society and serves on the City Planning Commission as well as the Historic Resources Commission. In 2015 he partnered with the Mt. Helix Park Foundation to create a photographic history of the Mt. Helix region featuring evocative images of Mt. Helix and its surrounding communities, landmarks, notable events, institutions and individuals. A graduate of San Diego State University, he is an author of books on the history of La Mesa, the Cleveland National Forest and most recently Grossmont Hospital.
This presentation was on Saturday October 9, 2021 at the "The Well" Event Space, in Grossmont Center, La Mesa
