George W. Marston House
George W. Marston House, Arts and Crafts style residence in Balboa Park, San Diego, United States.
The George W. Marston House is an Arts and Crafts residence in San Diego, distinguished by handcrafted woodwork throughout its interior spaces. The building contains multiple rooms filled with original details and sits on a large property surrounded by mature gardens.
The house was designed in 1905 by architects William Sterling Hebbard and Irving Gill and gained National Register listing in 1974. It marked an important moment when this design approach was reshaping how American homes were built and furnished.
The furnishings display work from Gustav Stickley and Charles Limbert, reflecting how affluent families embraced handcrafted design in the early 1900s. You can see how these pieces shaped the rooms and expressed the values of that era.
The residence is accessed through guided tours, with parking available on nearby streets around the address. Wear comfortable shoes if you plan to explore the grounds, as the gardens and surrounding property offer plenty to see.
The five-acre gardens feature plantings selected by Kate Sessions, including Canary Island Pines and Mexican Cup of Gold vines. These botanical collections make the grounds a quietly impressive green space that visitors often overlook beside the house itself.
