            Gaslamp Quarter landmark now a rental property ...Sold in 2015

Opened as the Oxford Hotel in 1913, the five-floor property at 511 F St. was designed by Eugene M. Hoffman, who immigrated at the age of seven from Germany in 1877 and moved to San Diego in 1910, according to the city's historic site report.

The hotel was advertised as "the only first-class hotel in the hub of the amusement and shopping district." The developer was Levis Brinton, a Pennsylvania farmer who had moved to San Diego in 1887. He died in 1918. His widow Florence apparently changed the name to the Hotel William Penn around 1930, perhaps as a nod to the founder of the English colony of Pennsylvania in 1682.

The building has 10,795 square feet of ground-floor retail space and 18 apartments on the upper four floors. They range in size from about 700 to 800 square feet and rent for $1,600 to $1,800 per month, said broker Eric Comer. All but three are furnished.

Comer said more than a dozen purchase offers were made for the property even though one of the two retail spaces was recently vacated by a Starbucks coffee shop. Maloney's Tavern is the anchor retail tenant. 119
