Mission Hills, 1908
Marston Hills on the north side of Balboa Park adopted the irregular block sizes, curvilinear street layouts, and varying lot sizes that had originated in the Mission Hills subdivisions around 1910, influenced by John Nolen's planning concepts. Many of the residences built in this 74-lot subdivision are patterned after the Spanish and Mediterranean Revival style of the 1915 Exposition.
