| Additional Comments |
Queen Anne house of ca. 1890 has a shingled exterior, a side tower, and a veranda extending into a porte-cochere. Hume was one of the founders of the Marshfield News. Joseph C. Marsh, founder of the Marshfield Telephone Exchange, also lived here at one time. 04/28/15: Because of its main architectural feature, this house was referred to as "The Towers." "Dr. Arthur J. Macht purchased the home sometime after 1953, when he came to Marshfield and joined the Marshfield Clinic as a psychiatrist." "West Park Street, Marshfield Historic District Walking tour" |
