Greene-Marston House
Greene-Marston House, Victorian house in Mobile, Alabama
The Greene-Marston House features a two-and-a-half-story structure with Victorian architectural elements and an original cottage incorporated as its west wing.
Built in 1851 as a modest cottage, the house underwent major expansions in 1903 when Martin Van Heuval transformed it into a larger Victorian residence.
The property became a literary center where authors gathered and housed The Haunted Book Shop, which opened its doors in 1941.
Located at the coordinates 30°41'11"N and 88°5'16"W, the Greene-Marston House occupies 1.5 acres of land in the heart of Mobile.
The house earned the nickname 'Termite Hall' following the discovery of an insect infestation, which later inspired Eugene Walter's 1982 cookbook.
