Historic 1860 Charm, Modern Amenities Comfort. This home was built in 1860 as the very first impressive Italianate style home in Marion, it has some amazing history, and incredible original woodwork throughout. In 1910, it was converted into a duplex to provide homes for railway leaders as Marion brought the railway to Linn County. This is certainly a one of a kind stay, with just the right updates to make it comfortable, and just enough original aspects to make it memorable.
