Description
Set in San Diego’s Sherman Heights neighborhood, the turreted residence was conceived for musician, spiritualist, and writer Jesse Shepard as a showcase of late 19th-century artistic extravagance. Beyond its Victorian facade, exotic orientalist design details enrich the preserved interiors, while knowledgeable docents lead visitors through the rooms to bring the home’s unique past into focus.
