Marston House, Street Tour

Sarai Johnson and Paul Johnson, of Johnson & Johnson Architectural Inc. We're our docents on our street tour of the Marsden House area tour, I say of the area because earlier in the week we did the actual Marsden House tour. A sort of Prairie School early design of Frank Lloyd Wright. The style of the house changed to the Prairie School style after mid construction. Today was the neighborhood tour in which George Marsden seem to have living around him, many of his is business aquatints, friends and his one son. He founded the historic Balboa Park and he was a prominent businessman in the early days of San Diego.



This is the sons house. Right next door.





One neighbor across the street.





The back side of the Marsden House.


And the front of the Marsden House. Right at the northern end of Balboa Park.

It's George MARSTON's house, and it's an Irving Gill and William Sterling Hubbard designed arts & crafts style house. You can read more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W._Marston_House
