Marston House
The Marston house, located at 524 North Henry Street, was built in 1851 in the Greek revival style for Jeremiah T. Marston, who operated a store on State Street. The Marstons built a new house in the early 1870s near Lake Wingra. The house on Henry Street was the last residence of Chief Justice Edward G. Ryan, who died in 1880, and was then occupied by A.B. Van Cott. From 1909 to 1923, the house was used by the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. DKE raised the roof, added dormer windows, and glassed in the upper porch. From 1925 to around 1942 and again from 1946 it was used by the Alpha Chi Rho fraternity, until its demolition in 1962. |
