It serves as Marshall Historical Society Headquarters and is open to the public May-Oct. from noon to 5 p.m., 7 days a week. The unusual design of the house has intrigued thousands of travelers, who passing through Marshall have noticed it standing beside the small park marking for many years the intersection of Highways US 12 and US 27. The house was said to have been copied from a building occupied by Pratt while in Hawaii.
