Altamirano-Pedrorena House was one of the first frame houses in Old Town San Diego.

Miguel de Pedrorena, a native of Madrid, came to San Diego as a ship's agent and in 1842 married one of the Estudillo daughters. He claimed the lot adjacent to the Casa de Estudillo, but died in 1850 before he could build a home, which was later built on the site in 1869 by his son, Miguel Jr. In 1871, ownership transferred to Isabel Pedrorena de Altamirano and remained as a family residence until 1907. The building currently houses a gem, jewelry and rock shop.
