AN ICON OF THE HISTORIC Sherman Heights neighborhood, the 1887 Villa Montezuma is one of San Diego's most beloved grand Victorian-era residences. It was saved in the 1960s from imminent demolition by Save Our Heritage Organisation (SOHO) with members from the San Diego Historical Society.

Designed by Comstock & Trotsche, it was the home of Jesse Francis Shepard, an internationally renowned pianist, author, and mystic. Owned by the City of San Diego, the Villa is now open to the public regularly with tours provided by its newest operators, the Friends of Villa Montezuma.
