The Marshall House in Richmond, Virginia
- The property remains within the Marshall family until 1907, when the City of Richmond purchases it.
- It is slated for destruction (to make way for a high school), but is saved by local preservationists.
- In 1960 the house is declared a National Historic Landmark.
- In 2005, in recognition of more than 80 years of stewardship — and in honor of the 250th anniversary of John Marshall’s birth — the City of Richmond deeds the house to Preservation Virginia.
