The Marston House is a historic residence placed in the heart of San Diego, first built in 1905. This spectacular property presents an getaway from the commotion and bustle of metropolitan life with its lush yards, elegant architecture, and sense of ancient charm.
Yesterday
The Marston House has a rich history. It was first commissioned by eminent San Diego dwellers George Marston and his bride Anna to work as their private residence. Constructed in the Arts and Crafts fashion by distinguished local architects Irving Gill and William Hebbard, no expense was skimped to create a property that revealed the Marston family's gratification for beauty as well as dedication to social progress.
Over the decades, The Marston House passed through many owners. Luckily previous caretakers had the foresight to preserve the property to maintain its historic architectural integrity. In 1987, the Save Our Heritage Organization (SOHO) purchased and restored the estate, transforming it into a cultural center and museum.
Accommodations
The Marston House now runs as a historic house museum and functions venue. Tourists can take escort-led tours to watch the property's authentic 20th century Arts and Crafts equipment and décor. The museum also organizes exhibitions, lectures, seminars and community functions year-round that bear San Diego's history to life.
Furthermore, the estate can be booked for private events including marriages, corporate affairs and retreats. From little assemblies in the private fourth floor library, to complex receptions in the sprawling garden, the spaces provide a delightful and memorable setting like no other.
