The McCoy House Museum, originally built in 1869, is a reconstructed wood-frame residence once belonging to Sheriff James McCoy and his wife Winnifred in San Diego's historic Old Town. This notable site showcases Greek Revival architecture and stands as a testament to McCoy's influence as a prominent Irish immigrant who served as county assessor, city sheriff, and state senator.
Preserved and enhanced through extensive archaeological work, the museum offers visitors interpretive displays highlighting the rich history of the property and the surrounding area. The McCoy House is not just a glimpse into 19th-century life but also a venue contributing to the narrative of California's historical landscape.
