Original Description (transcribed from book)
This Greek Revival house of about 1857 has been altered on several occasions. It was converted to an Italianate style and has recently had its ornamental cornice stripped. The high basement and window trim testify to its Greek Revival origins. Its wooden porch is pleasing.
Original Note (transcribed from book)
The 400 Block of West Marshall Street - This block is similar to its neighbors, preserving its nineteenth century atmosphere in spite of the heavy traffic on Marshall Street.
