In my opinion, the most delightfully unusual building in San Diego’s Little Italy neighborhood is the Beaumont Building. The design–especially the two cylindrical towers–is both visually distinctive and impressive. Those mysterious-looking towers make me look up with fresh surprise whenever I see them.
The Beaumont Building was built in 1988. It was designed by Rob Wellington Quigley, whose architectural work can be seen in various places around San Diego. The lattice-domed San Diego Central Library and The New Children’s Museum are two well-known examples.
I often walk past this building, and have taken many photographs over the years. But none of my photos fully capture this very unique structure’s truly amazing presence.

A very special building, perhaps the architect wanted to be an sci-fi movie maker? 😉
It looks like something from Batman or Matrix… Great photos of this odd but irresistable building.

Maybe some sort of interdimensional portal opens up between those two weird towers!

I always liked that building too. My husband, though, thinks it looks like two toilet paper rolls on top of some boxes. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I guess. I know Rob used to live there, as well as it was his office. Not sure that’s still the case.

It’s definitely unusual! I read that it’s half residential, half business, but I don’t know who lives there now. Those would be some gigantic toilet paper rolls!
