Marshall Mill House

The Marshall Mill House is located on a 40 acre tract. Built circa 1850s, it provided residence for an employee of the Marshall Bros. Paper Mill, located just up the road. The house is a perfect representation of a transitional stage in common home design and construction, during which for the first time lumber could be shipped hundreds of miles and nails and hardware could be produced by machine. This enabled builders to easily create more complex architectural structures and brought about improvments in working-class standards of living.
