The Marston House is a antique mansion placed in the core of San Diego, originally built in 1905. This stunning residence offers an getaway from the hustle and bustle of urban life with its verdant yards, refined architecture, and sense of ancient charm.
Yesterday
The Marston House has a vivid history. It was first commissioned by distinguished San Diego dwellers George Marston and his wife Anna to work as their private residence. Constructed in
오피스타 and Crafts style by renowned local architects Irving Gill and William Hebbard, no expenditure was saved to create a property that mirrored the Marston family's appreciation for beauty as well as devotion to social progress.
Over the decades, The Marston House passed through many owners. Luckily previous caretakers had the foresight to maintain the property to preserve its historic architectural integrity. In 1987, the Save Our Heritage Organization (SOHO) bought and renewed the estate, turning it into a cultural center and museum.
Lodging
The Marston House now runs as a historic house museum and functions venue. Travelers can take docent-led tours to view the property's authentic 20th century Arts and Crafts equipment and décor. The museum also sponsors demonstrations, speeches, tutorials and community happenings year-round that carry San Diego's history to life.
Additionally, the estate can be hired for private happenings including marriages, corporate gatherings and retreats. From tiny assemblies in the private fourth floor library, to elaborate receptions in the spreading garden, the spaces provide a delightful and memorable setting like no other.
