Visited the Marston House Museum and Gardens<\/a> with some family and friends for my very first time today.\u00a0We spent a little time in the formal gardens, which didn’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 inside, with its sixteen rooms and seven bathrooms, was clean and very well preserved. We had a one-hour tour of the two main floors, visiting the downstairs library, music room, living room, dining room, butler’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’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
