Third lake Ridge Historic District: A Walking Tour. 1987: "Although crowded by modern apartment buildings and a carport, the Martin House remains a reasonably intact example of a high-styled Italianate residence. constructed of buff colored sandstone (now hidden by white painting), the house rests on a raised basement and is entered by a prominent central stair and double glazed doors. The broad frieze under the eaves still has the narrow attic windows, paneling, and paired brackets of the original design. Martin was a wealthy businessman from Cincinnati. With his neighbor and business partner S. D. Carpenter, he was publisher of the Madison Patriot. In the 1880s, the house was owned by Reverend Francis Ford. His son Marcus, an actor, still lived here in the teens. Today the house is a 13-unit residential building." |
