Cover image: The Family of Joseph W. Sefton, Sr., as depicted by artist Alden Finney Brooks, pose on the grounds of their home at Sixth and Laurel Streets. Sefton came to San Diego in the 1880s from Dayton, Ohio where he had been in the manufacturing business. He later founded San Diego Trust and Savings Bank in 1889. Brooks, also from Ohio, was born in 1840 and studied painting and sculpture in Chicago and Paris. One of San Diego’s most beautiful residences, the Sefton home was torn down in 1956 to make way for a branch office of the family bank.
