2.21.19, The Jennings Family… More than Meets the Eye! By Cathy Gallagher,
“Special Event-Program” at the Jennings House Café at 1018 Rosecrans, Point Loma was fabulous!
Due to cold rainy weather, the crowd squeezed in the Café and on the deck that made for a very cozy event at the historic 1886 Jennings House on P.L. The one-time residence of Frank Jennings, early San Diego County Sheriff (1895-1902), is one of the oldest houses built on Point Loma. In recent years, it has found new life as the Jennings House Café (previously the Living Room), co-owned by guest speaker Cathy Gallagher.
In researching the history of the house, Cathy came up with many fascinating facts about Frank Jennings, his brother Fred (who also served as San Diego County Sheriff from 1907 to 1914), their families, and their descendants. She provided a detailed account of Frank and Inez Jennings, their entrepreneurial and philanthropic commitment to San Diego, and their role in the development of Point Loma and Ocean Beach.
