Honoring Allen Griffin, 1893-1981, founder and publisher of the Monterey Peninsula Herald for his outstanding contributions to the City of Monterey.

He used his editorial skills and influence to preserve Monterey's historic adobes, to advocate beautiful architecture and landscaping, to promote education, and to improve race relations, among many other accomplishments.

The Herald was published in the adjacent chalkrock building from 1927 until 1953.
