Save Our Heritage Organization: Marston House Architecture Tour – San Diego Archaeological Center

August 18 @ 2:30 pm4:00 pm

$20

Tour starts at the Marston House Museum Shop in the carriage house.

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.

The museum is wheelchair accessible on the first floor only; several exterior portions of the tour are not wheelchair accessible.

This event is hosted by the Save Our Heritage Organization. For more information, questions, and registration, please contact the event organizer.
