We had a one-hour tour of the two main floors, visiting the downstairs library, music room, living room, dining room, butler&#8217;s pantry, kitchen and six upstairs bedrooms (chambers). The basement and attic were not accessible. Saw many excellent examples of Arts and Crafts-style furniture and interior design features. Brett, our tour guide, was very well informed about the house&#8217;s history and presented everything in an interesting and occasionally humorous way describing many brilliantly thought-out features that were well ahead of their times. We never lingered too long in any one room and the hour went by very quickly. Afterwards my friend Rodrigo and I took to the various trails that ran up and down the sloping canyon just behind the house. Besides the grounds needing a little better care, the visit was a fun and educational one which I would probably do again.<\/p>\n<p><em>( h e r i t a g e \u00a0 p i c s )<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Visited the Marston House Museum and Gardens with some family and friends for my very first time today.\u00a0We spent a little time in the formal gardens, which didn&#8217;t quite live up to my expectations, before entering the residence.\u00a0While the exterior of this turn-of-the-century craftsman-style home seemed a bit dilapidated and run-down in many areas, the &hellip; <\/p>\n<p><a class=\"more-link btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pacsworlds.com\/blogs\/2012\/01\/22\/george-and-annas-house\/\">Continue reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[180,12,59,101,26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11132","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-balboa-park","category-family","category-friends","category-museums","category-san-diego","item-wrap"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1s2SN-2Ty","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pacsworlds.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11132","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pacsworlds.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pacsworlds.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pacsworlds.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pacsworlds.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11132"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pacsworlds.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11132\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11133,"href":"https:\/\/www.pacsworlds.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11132\/revisions\/11133"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pacsworlds.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11132"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pacsworlds.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11132"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pacsworlds.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11132"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
