Timken House, Victorian house in San Diego, US
The Timken House at 2508 First Avenue features Queen Anne architectural elements with Georgian influences, including spindles, brackets, and ornate decorative chimneys.
Built in 1888 by architects Comstock and Trotsche, this residence belonged to inventor Henry Timken until his death in 1909.
The Timken family contributed to San Diego's development through their involvement in real estate and establishing the Timken Museum of Art.
While the house remains a private residence since 1965, visitors can observe its architectural details from the public sidewalk at First Avenue.
The house stands at Timken Corner, maintaining its original Victorian design elements during a period when many similar structures underwent modern modifications.
