Description on back:

"Thomas Whaley, the son of a New York merchant family, constructed his San Diego home in 1857, seven years after he sailed to California in search of gold. The Whaley House is the oldest brick structure in San Diego and features authentic period furnishings. He purchased the property in September, 1855, which had been the site of the hanging of the infamous Yankee Jim Robinson in August of 1852. The North room, originally a granary, was remodeled and became the County Courthouse in 1869. From October 1968 to January 1869, the Tanner Troupe Theatre operated out of the front upstairs bedroom. The Whaley House has been called the most haunted house in California. It has been designated as an official haunted site by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Only 29 other places have received this same honor."
