Marston House terraces in Balboa Park

The George W. Marston House Museum & Gardens features formal terraces and upper-level windows that offer quiet, tucked-away views across Balboa Park's lawns and trees. The house, completed in 1905 and now operated as a museum, sits on a raised lot that provides a less-trafficked vantage compared with the park's main plazas. The garden terraces and historic plantings create intimate viewpoints used by visitors and garden-study groups.
