| Facility: | Whaley House |
| Description: | Built in 1856, this two story brick home has served as a residence, store, courthouse, and theater. It contains period furnishings. The Whaley House Complex consists of several buildings including the Whaley House Museum, a not-to-be-missed experience that will be enjoyed by persons of all ages. Also check out the historic Verna House, which houses the SOHO Museum Shop. This 1870s French Mansard was moved to its current location, right next to the Whaley House, to save it from demolition in 1965. The Museum Shop features Whaley House souvenirs and t-shirts, an eclectic assortment of gifts and greeting cards that will appeal to everyone, and a large selection of books on San Diego History, architecture, children's books, art, and L. Frank Baum's famous Oz books. Two historic 1870s false-front buildings of which there are only one or two others in San Diego, moved from downtown San Diego to the Whaley House Complex in the 1960s to save them from demolition. The two at the Whaley House Complex currently house the New Orleans Creole Café. The Café offers indoor and outdoor patio dining. The replica nineteenth-century rustic gazebo seating area is the perfect place to relax after a hearty meal or a walk through Old Town State Park. There is also the historic Derby-Pendleton House. Although this 1852 wood-frame and adobe structure houses SOHO's offices and is not open to the public, it provides a classic backdrop to the Whaley House grounds. |
