About this postcard
A three-story red brick house with white trim, green shutters, and columned porches stands behind an iron fence among large shade trees, with an American flag flying from a pole at left. The caption identifies it as the home of Chief Justice John Marshall on the northwest corner of Ninth and Marshall Streets in Richmond, in the same square as the then-new John Marshall High School. Marshall, later the fourth Chief Justice of the United States from 1801 to 1835, built the Federal-style house in 1790 and occupied it from 1795 until his death in 1835. It survives as a historic house museum in Richmond's Court End neighborhood.
