1905 Marion Street
For nearly a century, this property was home to a host of citizens including a cook, policeman, mechanic, baker, and engineer. First listed in 1897, when Nalvina Brown, an African-American woman, resided at the property, this modest cottage remained a private home throughout the mid-20th century commercial boom that transformed the district’s residential character.
