History
The Marston House has a vibrant history. It was initially contracted by eminent San Diego residents George Marston and his bride Anna to work as their private residence. Planned in laplumedelislam and Crafts fashion by distinguished local architects Irving Gill and William Hebbard, no expenditure was spared to create a property that mirrored the Marston family's appreciation for beauty as well as commitment to social progress.
Over the decades, The Marston House moved through numerous owners. Fortunately previous caretakers had the providence to maintain the property to maintain its historic architectural integrity. In 1987, the Save Our Heritage Organization (SOHO) attained and renewed the mansion, turning it into a cultural center and museum.
