ONE OF SAN DIEGO'S FINEST EXAMPLES of the Arts and Crafts movement, was constructed in 1905 for George W. Marston and his wife, Anna Gunn Marston. George Marston is noted for many things but most prominently as a civic leader whose interest and work in historic preservation, conservation, and history is well known.

The property was designed and built by the nationally renowned architects William Sterling Hebbard and Irving Gill. Surrounded by five acres of rolling lawns, manicured formal gardens, and rustic canyon gardens, this 8,500-square- foot home became a house museum in 1987 after the Marston family gifted it to the City of San Diego for public enjoyment.

Spend some time exploring the grounds, formal gardens, and canyon pathways in the shade of towering pine, eucalyptus, and oak trees in one of the region's most important estates.
