This stately
brick house located at 3565 Seventh Avenue, overlooking
Balboa Park is 102 years old and is listed in the National
Register of Historical Places.
Designed by renowned San Diego architect, the late Irving
John Gill, and built in 1906 for the late Dr. and Mrs.
Frederick R. Burnham, the house reflects the timeless taste
of its designer.
A local real estate entrepreneur with a special interest in
historical architecture purchased the house in 2006 and has
since renovated its interior to meet today’s business needs,
as well as designed the grounds to be more conducive for
outdoor gatherings, while still maintaining the property's
original turn-of-the-century charm.
The house is located immediately adjacent to the historic
Marston House--also designed by Irving Gill, which is owned
by the City of San Diego and is open to the public for
visits of the grounds, and the house as a museum.
Although the Burnham House has in the past been the setting
for important private occasions of the Burnham
Family--weddings, anniversary celebrations, and
christenings, the house has only recently been made
available for public events.
