Marion (Old Rochester) is one of the oldest towns in the United States, and the Sippican Historical Society maintains an extensive collection of documentation on its historic buildings. In 1998, the Sippican Historical Society commissioned an architectural survey of Marion’s historic homes and buildings. Over 100 were cataloged and photographed. SHS will feature one building a week so that the residents of Marion can understand more about its unique historical architecture.
This installment features 260 Front Street, the Foc’s’le House. The building at 260 Front Street was built c. 1830 and was at one time occupied by the local stagecoach driver. It had been owned by the Allanach family when it was purchased by Tabor Academy.
