Marsh, Martin Luther, House
About this property
The Martin Luther Marsh House is a historic house located at 254 Boulder Street in Nevada City, in the Gold Country of Nevada County, California. It was built in 1873. The Martin Luther Marsh House's architecture and engineering were significant during the California Gold Rush period of 1850–1874. The single family home is of Georgian design. It bears a hip roofed cupola and the windows are arched. Briefly in the 1970s, the Marsh House was the American Victorian Museum, founded by Carol and David Fluke, (owners/funding,) Ruthe Hamm, (owner/funding,) and co-founders David Osborne and Charles Woods. Recent restoration in the late 1990s by a well known Victorian architectural contractor from San Francisco saw a complete interior restoration and replacement of natural woods, new stained glass, a new conservatory on the west side with 3 walls of glass. The dining room has an outstanding stained glass ceiling and an antique crystal ceiling piece. The exterior restoration included replacement of the rotting quoins with redwood duplicates, a new roof, rain gutters, and exterior painting in historical colors, including white trim. It's situated in a park-like setting on Boulder Street 1/2 mile east of the downtown Nevada City core. On 19 January 1972, the Martin Luther Marsh House was designated a California Point of Historical Interest No. P241. Less than a year later, on 11 April 1973, this Nevada County building was designated as a landmark by the National Register of Historic Places.
