Info
This Queen Anne Victorian was built in 1888 and was the last residence of inventor Henry Timken (1831-1909). Henry Timken's nieces, the Putnam sisters, played a large role in bringing the fine arts to San Diego. They were major benefactors of the Timken Museum of Art in Balboa Park, a short distance from the home. And this home housed the Timken Museum collection before the opening of the museum. The Timken House has been a private residence since 1965 and was designed by the prominent architects Comstock and Trotsche.
