Photo Gallery: Marsh-Warthen House, c. 1836
Marker text:
The Marsh-Warthen House, circa 1836, was built by Spencer
Stewart Marsh, a prominent and influential merchant and statesman who
donated land for John B. Gordon Hall. Marsh, with two other businessmen,
founded Trion Factory, a major cotton mill. In 1863 the Marshes sought
refuge in Cassville and returned after the war to find blood stained floors
and hoof marks from Federal Cavalry horses in the hallway. After remaining
in the Marsh family for over 150 years, the house was owned by the Clements,
descendants of a Walker County pioneer family.
