Original Description (transcribed from book)

This is a handsome and unusual Greek Revival frame house on a raised basement. The front porch is partially cast iron, and a mansard roof was added around the turn of the century. The house appears to have been built c. 1860 and was the home of Henry Brown, a laborer, in 1876.

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.
