Significance: The construction and operation of Torrey Pines Lodge is closely associated with the relationship between early road development and tourism in San Diego. The Pueblo Revival building strategically situated at what served as the Gateway of San Diego from 1923 to 1933, was a roadside landmark attracting tourists traveling between Los Angeles and San Diego along the adjacent coast road. In 1933, business at the Lodge dwindled when the coast road was rerouted around the Lodge to navigate a less rugged route. In addition, the design and construction of the Torrey Pines Lodge was an important collaboration between philanthropist Miss Ellen Browning Scripps and San Diego based architect Richard S. Requa and structural engineer Herbert L. Jackson of the firm Requa and Jackson Architects, Los Angeles based landscape architects Ralph D. Cornell and Theodore Payne, adobe expert John Byers, and park custodian and horticulturalist, Guy L. Fleming.
