The Marston House is a aged mansion placed in the middle of San Diego, initially built in 1905. This dazzling estate presents an escape from the rush and commotion of metropolitan life with its lush nurseries, refined architecture, and sense of old charm.
Yesterday
The Marston House has a rich history. It was originally entrusted by eminent San Diego dwellers George Marston and his wife Anna to fulfill as their private residence. Constructed in the Arts and Crafts style by renowned local architects Irving Gill and William Hebbard, no expense was skimped to produce a property that reflected the Marston family's appreciation for beauty as well as commitment to social progress.
Over the decades, The Marston House transferred through many owners. Thankfully previous caretakers had the prudence to preserve the property to preserve its historic architectural integrity. In 1987, the Save Our Heritage Organization (SOHO) attained and restored the residence, transforming it into a cultural center and museum.
