Book Launch: Forgotten San Diego

  • Marston House Gardens, 3525 Seventh Avenue, San Diego San Diego, CA, 92101 United States (map)

SOHO ( Save Our Heritage Organization) is pleased to announce the launch of the book, Forgotten San Diego by authors David Marshall and Eileen Magno. Join SOHO as they host the authors for a free talk, book signing, and refreshments at the Marston House Museum & Gardens on Saturday, September 23 from 5pm to 7pm.

Forgotten San Diego from Arcadia Publishing, uncovers the city's hidden stories and lost architectural and social past presented through a compelling blend of vintage postcard imagery and expert narrative.

Marshall and Magno are colleagues at Heritage Architecture & Planning, a San Diego firm known for its expertise in historic preservation throughout California. They bring a blend of interest and passion to this important and informative project. Marshall, an accomplished architect, and leader of the AIA San Diego Preservation committee, used a selection of postcard images drawn from his private archives. Complementing this, Magno, a historian, weaves narratives of San Diego’s historic past that is lost forever.

Most of Marshall’s postcards have not been published before. Forgotten San Diego is not only an appealing collection of images and lore; it is an indelible record of San Diego's captivating architectural and cultural history.

With deep-rooted ties to San Diego, these native enthusiasts share an enduring affection for our region’s idiosyncratic and layered history and an affinity for its rich tapestry of people, tales, and events.

Staged under the porte-cochere of the historic Marston House, memories will be shared, books will be signed, and the past will be revisited. Join us on Saturday, September 23, from 5pm to 7pm as we embark on a journey through time and unveil the splendors of Forgotten San Diego.
