Marston House Museum & Gardens

One of California's finest examples of the Arts and Crafts movement, the Marston House was constructed in 1905 for department store magnate George W. Marston, his wife, Anna Gunn Marston, and their family. George Marston is noted for many things but most prominently as a philanthropic civic leader whose interest and work in historic preservation, conservation and history is well known.

Designed by the acclaimed architectural team of William Sterling Hebbard and Irving J. Gill, the Marston House exemplifies fine design, craftsmanship, and progressive vision that is a signature of Gill's work.

Step inside the world of one of San Diego’s most influential families and explore the artistry of the architects and landscape designers who collaborated with them to create an estate of regional and enduring importance. Stroll the formal gardens, wander the shaded grounds, and experience the home and landscape as the Marstons once did.

Garden tours are available on scheduled dates or by making Group Tours reservations.
