Built by Thomas Whaley in 1856-57, this is the oldest brick structure in Southern California. In addition to being the home of the Whaley family, it served variously as granary, store, court-house, and school and as the town's first theater. The Whaley's home was the cultural center of San Diego as well as its most luxurious residence. Located in San Diego's historic Old Town area and is the centerpiece of most visitors' attention...and for a good reason.

According to the Travel Channel's America's Most Haunted, the house is the number one most haunted house in the United States. Also, it has been designated as an official haunted site by the U.S. Department of Commerce. There have been many ghost sightings on the property over the years and even today many guests report odd sensations while in the house.
