San Diego - Villa Montezuma (Closed)

Not very far from Gaslamp Quarter in San Diego stands Villa Montezuma (1925 K Street), built in 1887, an unusually luxurious Victorian house constructed when San Diego was enjoying its first brief economic boom between 1886 and 1888. Well worth seeing are the stained-glass windows (more than 20), some rooms restored in their original style, as well as alternating exhibitions in the house which now functions as a museum.

It was the home of Jesse Shephard, a musical genius who played piano by the age of two and a half.

CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC.
