Built in 1867 to a design by Elbridge Boyden, it is one of the city's fine examples of Second Empire architecture, and one of the few for which an architect is known.

It is a 2+1⁄2-story brick structure, with a slate mansard roof providing a full third floor.

The building's corners have brick quoining, and the main facade is symmetrical, with polygonal bays (rising to the roof level) flanking a center entrance.

Marble was also a director of the Quinsigamond Bank, and made an unsuccessful foray into establishing an excursion railroad.
