Description
Step into the grand, Arts and Crafts legacy of George Marston, civic visionary and founder of San Diego’s Public Library, SPCA, YMCA, and Humane Society. Tour his sprawling 1905 estate—complete with burlap walls, Gill green concrete, and a music room—where Teddy and Franklin Roosevelt once gathered. Discover Mary Marston’s cherished bedroom, a screened-in sleeping porch, and a library honoring his public good philosophy. Though furniture is gone, history lives on through recreated ambiance and echoes of children laughing—proof that this preserved gem still breathes with San Diego’s soul.
