Villa Montezuma, Queen Anne mansion in Sherman Heights, San Diego, United States.

Villa Montezuma is a Queen Anne style mansion built in 1887 by Cheney & Leonard from designs by Comstock & Trotsche. Its red horizontal siding, round corner turret with a conical roof and pierced panel band, gabled dormer, round windows, and an onion dome are visible from the street. A stone plaque reads "VILLA MONTEZUMA" and "MDCCCLXXXVII"; John Mallon's Pacific American Decorative Company made the windows.

Built in 1887 by Cheney & Leonard from designs by Comstock & Trotsche for Jesse Shepard, who left for Paris and sold the house in late 1889. It joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. A March 1986 fire destroyed over half the roof; the restored museum reopened in June 1987 for the house's centenary.

Jesse Shepard, who had the house built in 1887, used it for about a year for piano recitals and gatherings before leaving for Paris; he sold it in late 1889. The house later became a museum, and from 1972 hundreds of weddings were held there, providing steady revenue for the historical society.

The museum reopened for regular paid tours in October 2021 after being closed since 2006. It stands at the corner of 20th and K Streets in Sherman Heights, with street parking in the surrounding blocks. From 2015 to 2020, free interior tours were offered four mornings a year, with registration through the San Diego Parks and Recreation Department.

The original owner was a musician and writer who published under a different name and made the house known for piano recitals. This link to the artistic community of that era remains central to what the place represents today.
