An excellent example of Second Empire architecture where the architect can be identified, Eldridge Boyden. Jerome Marble was a native of Charlton, MA who came to Worcester in 1853 as a partner with C.A. Harrington. In 1863 the company became Jerome Marble & Co., druggists and dealers in paints and oils, chemical and other elements. He tried to start the first excursion car business in the country, called Worcester Excursion Car Company, which failed when the company was denied the use of railroad beds. Today the residence is used as offices, mainly for lawyers.
