The old Avon Theater and the restored Marshall House Hotel.

The the much older Marshall House Hotel originally opened in 1849 and become the Gilbert House Hotel in the 1940's before finally closing as a hotel in the 1950's. It was during the 1950's that the building was drastically altered and cut up into modern storefronts. The original iron balcony was removed and a smooth false front covered the windows. In the 1990's the building was restored back to it's original look and purpose with a new replicated iron balcony put in place.
