William Heath Davis House
 Included Entry with the Go San Diego Card
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.
