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, an American flag flying from a pole at left; the card names it as the home of Chief Justice Marshall at 9th and Marshall Streets in Richmond. John Marshall, fourth Chief Justice of the United States from 1801 to 1835, built this Federal-style brick dwelling in 1790 and lived there until his death; it survives today as a historic house museum. The corner site in Richmond's Court End neighborhood is shown here in a typical mid-century view.
