The Marshall House makes its way down Oak Street on Friday. Aug. 16, 2024. The home was built by Lucretia B. and Jacob Q. Groesbeck, who finished building the dwelling in 1889, after moving to Steamboat Springs from Boulder County. By the early 1950s the house became the home of Willard B. and Wilma Marshall. The Marshalls lived in the house for three generations until it was sold in 2018.
