Villa Montezuma, San Diego - Removed from the List

An icon of the historic Sherman Heights neighborhood, the 1887 Villa Montezuma is one of San Diego's most beloved grand Victorian era residences. The Comstock & Trotsche-designed home of Jesse Francis Shepard has been removed from the 2019 Most Endangered List, as we know of no imminent threat of demolition or other insensitive proposals. However, the under-utilized Villa has sat stagnant for many years, with its owner, the City of San Diego, opening it to the public only four times a year. SOHO will continue to keep a close eye on this irreplaceable resource while encouraging the City to reopen it on a regular basis.

Because the Villa is one of our region's finest Queen Anne style Victorian homes, SOHO continues to offer the City our professional advice and expert assistance at no charge to preserve and maintain the Villa. This offer goes for all other City-owned heritage sites and resources and, if desired, we will also work with and guide any nonprofit the City installs to oversee this treasured home.
