Description: Historic Building Survey plaque: "53 The McGurck Block, 1887. From 1903 to 1984, the Ferris and Ferris Drug Store occupied this building. For a long time, it was San Diego's only all-night drug store and, for a period of time, actor Gregory Peck's father worked as the night druggist. The building was also used as a post office and as a ticket office for the Coronado Ferry. The upper floors of this three-story Italianate Revival building were used for rented rooms and became known as the Hotel Monroe in 1929."
