 Third Sunday of the month
2:30pm · 90 minutes
$20 - Purchase tickets in advance HERE
Tour starts at the Marston House Museum Shop in the carriage house, 3525 Seventh Avenue, San Diego 92103
Take a walk on the architectural side with a 90-minute guided tour of the 1905 Marston House Museum inside and out. The San Diego firm of Hebbard & Gill designed the inviting English Arts & Crafts mansion with fluid indoor-outdoor connections. Irving Gill, who soon became San Diego's pioneering Modernist, created many of its design features and innovative conveniences. This tour was curated for SOHO by Erik Hanson, a leading authority on Gill and contributor to the book Irving Gill and the Architecture of Reform by Thomas S. Hines. The story begins at the carriage house for the estate (now SOHO's Marston House Museum Shop), then circles around the house in its Balboa Park and formal garden setting. Inside and out, architectural and construction details and period materials are highlighted, and include the Marston family's public and private rooms. Managed by SOHO for the City of San Diego, this property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. *Only the first floor of the museum is wheelchair accessible; several areas of the exterior portion of the tour are not wheelchair accessible.
ALSO AVAILABLE FOR AFTER-HOURS GROUP TOURS
