Neighborhoods of Historic Old Town

Neighborhood Meeting on August 10, 2019 from 9am to 11am at the Marshall Public Library Community Room located at 113 S. Garfield.

 

The Neighborhoods of Historic Old Town were originally developed as a place for middle-class professionals, businessmen, and railroad mangers to live and raise their families. The neighborhoods are architecturally and historically significant and have one of the region’s most diverse and well-preserved urban streetscapes. 

Some of the homes in the neighborhoods were constructed as far back as 1892, with the majority built between 1900 and 1941. Home styles range from Colonial, Tudor Revival, Queen Anne, and Craftsman prior to World War II. After the war, homes in the neighborhoods began to take on the trends of the day and more Ranch style homes were built in the area. 

Today, the neighborhoods continue to foster a sense of community and provide a place for people and families to grow. Unique architecture, walkable streetscapes, and friendly neighbors are all within walking distance of a robust, active, and growing downtown full of shops, art galleries, and more. Today the area remains “The place to be, the life to live!”
