More about this marker. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
The Marcus Warren House is significant under criterion C for its architectural design. Its front-gable plan with a deck roof is unique in the county and it retains the majority of its original interior and exterior detailing. Tradition states that the house was built by Warren in imitation of New England residences and its plan is unmatched in Blount County. The house was built between 1874 and 1877 and was described in the book Our Mission in East Tennessee published in 1879. With the exception of the addition of new porch columns ca. 1920 and a rear addition, no other alterations have occurred to the house.
