Mary Marshall Row is a historic row house in Savannah, Georgia, United States. It stands at 230–244 East Oglethorpe Avenue,[1] overlooking Colonial Park Cemetery from the north.[2] They are contributing properties of the Savannah Historic District, itself on the National Register of Historic Places.[3]
The properties were built as rental properties for Mary Magdalene Marshall, a noted investor and philanthropist, between 1855 and 1856. They were designed by Charles Cluskey.[4]
In 1959, the demolition of the properties was prevented by the Historic Savannah Foundation.[4][5] It purchased the land for $45,000 and offered the demolisher $9,000, a $3,000 profit on the value of the building's Savannah gray bricks.[6]
Other similar-style row houses exist in Savannah's Gordon Row, the Jones Street Quantock Row, the Chatham Square Quantock Row, William Remshart Row House and McDonough Row.
