This booklet was published in 1874, just 7 years after Alonzo Horton's arrival and the subsequent re-birth of New San Diego. The directory makes it seem as if old San Diego (Old Town) no longer existed. The photographs depict homes and businesses in New San Diego. There are no photos of Old Town, two photos of the Mission and one of the National City Wharf. All businesses listing addresses are in New San Diego, although there are a few without any address.
