Its agricultural history, based on cotton and peaches, is described as similar to that of other farms in the area.","narrative":"Built just after the Civil War, this frame house on McCaskill Street in Marshallville was constructed by William Hamilton Felton at a cost of about $5,000, using lumber and brick found on the land. It has ten rooms with 14-foot-6-inch ceilings and shows several Italianate Villa features: large brackets under wide eaves, tall thin first-floor windows, a low-pitched truncated hipped roof, and a rectangular, symmetrical plan. Indoor bathrooms were added in 1916-17 and the kitchen was remodelled in 1963. The property once covered 348 acres and now holds about 19 acres of orchards and timber, along with frame outbuildings from the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Cotton and peaches were the farm's cash crops, and Felton experimented with refrigerated peach crates. The house was listed for its architecture, since its Italianate character is unique in Marshallville and its siting has barely changed, and for its agricultural history, which resembles that of other local farms. It remains in use as a residence and is in good condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"W.H.
