- Title:
- Marston Cottage
- Description:
- Marston Cottage was built between 1868 and 1870. The third of the three original "Professors' Houses" was first occupied by Professor William A. Anthony until he resigned in 1884. Anthony shared the house with Albert E. Foote and E.R. Hutchins. General James Rush Lincoln was the next occupant from 1885 to 1891. From 1892 until his death in 1949, the cottage was home to Anson Marston, whom he shared with Samual W. Beyer. Mrs. Marston continued to live in the house until it was razed in 1958 to permit the construction of the Helser Hall addition. The house was brick, with a basement, two full floors, and a large attic. The back stairs were added in 1874. Major repairs were undertaken in 1904. The front porch was screened in 1913, and in 1923, a garage was built into the basement. Credit: The Iowa State University Campus and Its Buildings
