Ten year ago Save Our Heritage Organisation (SOHO) assumed operations of this SD classic complex for the County of San Diego. It includes the venerable Whaley House Museum and its four other historic structures, which include the 1850 Derby-Pendleton House, the 1870s Verna House and two rare false front building survivors of New Town’s Old West period. Under the stewardship of SOHO the Whaley House once again looks more like it did in the 19th century than at any time in the 20th. Visit the Whaley House Museum (2476 San Diego Avenue) next time you’re in Old Town San Diego.
