Marshall, David, House
Why it's listed
This wood-frame house at 7455 Cosgray Road, in the Dublin area of Washington Township, Franklin County, was built around 1900 as a residence. It sits on a corner lot of less than an acre, with a stone foundation, weatherboard siding, a gable roof covered in shingles, and a basement. Its most notable feature is the porch, which is supported by turned wood posts and decorated with carved fancywork and scalloped detail. A gable marks the center portion, and two entries sit near the corner. The survey describes the porch as one of only two of its kind in the township, and the house as a good and uncommon example of late 19th-century architecture. A small apartment was added to the south side and aluminum storm windows were installed. The house was once a prominent property but is now surrounded by newer house lots. It is in fair condition, in use as a rental, and was noted as threatened by neglect.
Significance in brief: The inventory describes it as a good example, and one of few, of late 19th-century architecture in the township. Its elaborate porch is described as one of only two such examples of its type in the township.

What listing means for this property
National Register listing is honorary for a privately owned home: it does not by itself restrict what an owner may do with their own money, and it does not require public access. Restrictions come from local landmark or historic-district ordinances, which are separate (how they differ).
Owner-occupied houses are not eligible for the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit, which applies to income-producing buildings, but many states offer credits for homeowners. Listing also opens the door to preservation easements and to buying a plaque. Start with what listing means for homeowners, renovating a listed house and selling one.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Rules change; confirm with your State Historic Preservation Office or a qualified adviser.
