George Marston House with the giant eucalyptus tree, painting by San Diego artist RD Riccoboni. The Marston House Museum is one of San Diego's finest examples of the Arts and Crafts movement and was constructed in 1905 for George W. Marston and his wife, Anna Gunn Marston. George Marston is noted for many things but most prominently as a civic leader whose interest and work in historic preservation, conservation and history is renowned. A National Historic Landmark, George Marston House and its spectacular gardens are operated by SOHO, Save Our Heritage Organisation, and open to the public.
