Long Description:HILLSIDE
Erected in 1843, this house is among the oldest in Marshall. It
came to be known as "Hillside" a name derived from its prominent
location. The house was designed in the Gothic Revival style. Its
architecture and landscaping were likely influenced by the design
for a "Cottage in the English or Rural Gothic Style" in “Cottage
Residences”, a popular book of house plans by landscape gardener
Andrew Jackson Downing that was published in 1842.
MARY MILLER
This house built for local attorney Henry W. Taylor and long owned
by the Schuyler family was also home to Mary "Mazie" Miller (1871 -
1941) and her husband, Craig. An outspoken suffragette and
Republican political activist, Miller was an early president of the
Michigan League of Women Voters. She resided here from 1905 until
her death. During that time, Miller hosted many political
luminaries, including future president William Howard Taft as well
as state legislators from Lansing.
