Harbor View House, the Army and Navy YMCA above the harbour0.7 mi
Five storeys of Spanish Colonial Revival went up on the bluff in 1926 as an Army and Navy YMCA for the soldiers at Fort MacArthur and the sailors coming off the docks: 300 dormitory rooms, a gym with a running track above it, a pool, a boxing room and a coffee shop.
