The Ainsley House is Campbell’s historic house museum. Built in 1925, the home was the third residence of local canning pioneer John Colpitts Ainsley, his wife, Alcinda Ainsley. The home was built in the style of an English Tudor Cotswald cottage during Arts and Crafts movement. Originally located in Campbell on the corner of Hamilton and Johnson (now Bascom) avenue, the house was moved to its present location at 300 Grant Street in 1990, after its donation to the city of Campbell by the remaining members of the Ainsley family. The home and its carriage house were listed on the National Registrar of Historical Places (NRHP) in 2005.
