JENNINGS HOUSE

The oldest home in Point Loma was built in 1887 by one of Point Loma’s founders, Frank Jennings. When Jennings and his family arrived, Roseville consisted of little more than a hotel, a wharf and a few fishermen’s shacks. Twenty years earlier, Louis Rose had established the community along the eastern shore of the peninsula. The Jennings House on Rosecrans became a sweet shop and apartments in the 1930s and a boarding house for soldiers and fishermen in the 1940s. In later decades, the house served many purposes including a bakery, boutique, bookstore, art gallery, and coffee shop.
