SR014 J.H. Marsteller

J.H. Marsteller created ornate marble monuments and headstones. This card was produced for Marsteller in 1907, showing on the left the exhibit of Marsteller at the 1907 Jamestown Exhibition’s Timber and Mineral Building. The image on the right shows Marsteller’s place of business in Roanoke on 21 Campbell Avenue SE, which was built in 1897 as the left half of the building with the right half and additional third floor being added in 1905. It was sold to Nelson Hardware in 1916. In the 1960’s it was the Gulf Mills Discount Department Store. It has since been razed for the Market Square parking garage and Orvis store.
