The Marston House is a aged mansion situated in the middle of San Diego, initially built in 1905. This stunning residence offers an getaway from the rush and bustle of urban life with its rich yards, elegant architecture, and sense of ancient charm.

Past

The Marston House has a vivid history. It was first entrusted by notable San Diego occupants George Marston and his spouse Anna to work as their private residence. Designed in the Arts and Crafts mode by distinguished local architects Irving Gill and William Hebbard, no expense was saved to produce a property that reflected the Marston family’s appreciation for beauty as well as dedication to social progress.

Over the decades, The Marston House transferred through many owners. Fortunately previous caretakers had the providence to preserve the property to save 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.

Accommodations

The Marston House now manages as a historic house museum and functions venue. Travelers can take interpreter-led tours to see the property’s authentic 20th century Arts and Crafts furnishings and décor. The museum also hosts presentations, speeches, workshops and community events year-round that bring San Diego’s history to life.

Furthermore, the residence can be reserved for private events including marriages, corporate functions and retreats. From great post to read in the intimate fourth floor library, to elaborate receptions in the sprawling garden, the spaces provide a lovely and memorable setting like no other.
