The Whaley House Museum

• Description
  The world-famous Whaley House is said to be the most haunted house in America. This two-story Greek Revival-style mansion was designed by San Diego pioneer Thomas Whaley and completed in 1857. Between 1868 and 1872, various rooms in the Whaley House were used as a general store, San Diego's first commercial theater, and the San Diego County Courthouse and Whaley family members lived in the house for nearly a century. Now a San Diego County Park, the Whaley House and grounds are operated by Save Our Heritage Organization, San Diego's historic preservation organization who are in the process of restoring the museum's complex. After touring what the San Diego Herald once called the 'finest new brick block in Southern California,' relax in Victorian gardens beneath the pepper trees planted by Anna Whaley nearly 150 years ago.

William Heath Davis House

• Description
  The William Heath Davis House is the oldest wooden structure in downtown San Diego. Constructed by William Heath Davis in 1850, the house is a pre-framed lumber 'salt box' family home from the east coast, shipped to San Diego by boat around Cape Horn. In 1873, the home became a county hospital for the care of the sick and dying. The spirit of an unknown Victorian is rumored to reside there to this day. The museum has been home to fascinating people, including pre-Civil War West Point graduates and Alonzo Horton, who many consider the founder of San Diego. Each room is decorated to represent different eras in the life of the house and its former inhabitants. Gaslamp Gifts, a unique curiosity shop inspired by William Heath Davis' 1850s merchandising business, is located in the basement of the museum.
