James Wilson Marshall House — 62 Bridge Street, Hopewell Township, NJ
The Marshall House is on the National and the New Jersey Registers of Historic Places. It was the boyhood home of James Wilson Marshall, discoverer of gold in California, and is now the headquarters of the Lambertville Historical Society. James' father, Philip, built the house in 1816. Philip Marshall, a coach and wagon maker, was a member of one of the oldest families in New Jersey and a relative of John Hart, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. The family lived here until Philip's death in 1834, when the property was sold. Family descendants continue to live in Lambertville and the surrounding area. The house was constructed using bricks made of clay dug near the outskirts of town and is notable for its Federal architecture, with its decorative, Adam-style frieze, box cornice, and typical two-story structural style and size.
