The 1905 Marston House was built for the family of noted civic leader and merchant George W. Marston, whose lifelong dedication was to community improvements through historic preservation, cultural landscape conservation, architecture and urban planning, libraries, and archiving regional history.
The home is one of California’s finest examples of Arts and Crafts architecture. With five acres of landscaped gardens and canyon, it stands as San Diego’s most important remaining building designed by the architectural firm of Hebbard & Gill and master architects and landscape designers. Landscape architect John Nolen, who created San Diego’s first urban plan, reworked the initial plans for an update to the beautiful formal garden in the late 1920s.
