Alliant Int'l University shows a piece of San Diego History

Nicholas Vega, Senior Curator at the San Diego Historical Society talks about the remarkable pieces of San Diego History. Giant Oak doors that once stood within the entrance of the International Theosophical Institute on Point Loma in 1901, which is now Point Loma Nazarene, are now available to be shot at the Historical Society in San Diego. A fire in 1952 destroyed the temple, but the doors were saved. They stand about 13' high and measure nearly 7' across. The doors were carved in 1901 by Reginal Machell of the Royal Academy in London, and depict the artist's ideal man and woman. Following World War I, the leader of the movement, Madame Katherine Tingley, renamed the Aryan Temple, "The Temple of Peace." In 1942 the Theosophical Institute moved its headquarters and the property was acquired by USIU....which is now ALLIANT INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY. ALLIANT proudly displays them for the public to see and admire the craftmanship and the history the doors represent.
