The Old Stone Barn

Calhoun County · dedicated 1973 · 323 West Michigan Avenue, Marshall

Built by William Prindle in 1857, this landmark served as a livery stable for over sixty years. It also saw brief use as a stagecoach stop for the lines connecting Coldwater with Lansing. By 1928 it had become an unsightly gas station. Purchased through the efforts of Mayor Harold C. Brooks, its conversion into a city hall by architect Howard Young was completed in time for Marshall’s centennial celebration of 1930.
