Original Description (transcribed from book)

This small pre-Civil War house has very pronounced stepped gables with a steep roof. The cornice and upper level windows are preserved, but the porch and first floor windows have been altered. The masonry treatment on the first floor damages the appearance of this fine house.

Original Note (transcribed from book)

200 Block of West Marshall Street - This block marks the beginning of Marshall Street as a residential neighborhood. While Marshall Street was not as stylish as Clay Street, it contains a number of fine smaller houses.
