Marsh (1811-1870), this was called the Marsh Place for many years, although owned in turn by various businessmen. For over half a century it was home of Sarah Terhune Taylor (Mrs. H. C. Taylor), a socially prominent charter member of 1881 Club, one of Texas' oldest women's clubs. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1972
