: The Sarah Elston Residence, designed c.1909 by Master Architect and Master Builder H.H. Preibisius. :: This exceptionally rare example of an early twentieth-century Arts & Crafts West Coast Shingle Style Estate stands as one of San Diego's best surviving expressions of the American Craftsman movement. Occupying a privileged position along Historic 7th Avenue, directly adjacent to Balboa Park, the residence is gracefully sited on a predominantly level 10,500-square-foot parcel overlooking the historic gardens and mature tree canopy of the Marston House.
