The Most Haunted House in America, The Whaley House While the story of the Whaley House’s origins may seem as simple and innocent as any family history, the truth is, many believed this home was destined to be haunted before it was even built. The property was the site of one of the town’s most famous public executions – that of the hanging of the infamous thief James “Yankee Jim” Robinson. The Whaley House, designated as a museum in 1960, is located in Old Town San Diego, California’s Oldest Town. Designed and built by Thomas Whaley, known to be the first two-story brick-constructed property in California back in 1857, it is a beautiful example of Greek Revival architecture and is furnished with curated historical items and original family owned treasures. The Whaley House also served as San Diego’s first commercial theater, a general store and the second County Courthouse. Worldwide known as the Most Haunted House in America, it is recognized for its historical significance in Old Town San Diego. The Whaley House Evening Guided Tour is rated PG-13. Due to some sensitive topics, the Evening Guided Tour is not recommended for children 12 years of age or younger.
