Ellen Clark Revelle donated the
La Jolla home, located on Prospect St., that was originally built in the early
1900's. The home will be on exhibition and will also be available to rent for weddings, reunions and
other special events.
A couple of years ago, the Historical Society did a ten year lease along with the family. Since then, the
Historical Society has helped with ideas to maintain and restore the property to use as a museum and storage
for the Historical Society's archives. With the Revelle family's kind generosity, La Jolla history is
sure to stay alive.
Ellen is the widow of Roger Revelle, who founded UCSD. In addition, Ms. Revelle's great-aunt is none other than
Ellen Browning Scripps.
