Was the Gill of “Hebbard and Gill” Irving Gill?

The facade of this building was very Sullivanesque.

A Robert-Morton theater organ was installed in the Pickwick Theater in 1917. Note: California Organ Co. nameplate.

Apparently Louis J. Wilde was responsible for building the Pickwick.
Later he became mayor of San Diego.
