Mysterious mansion

A recent rainy and foggy day makes the General Marshall’s Mansion, a landmark in Palmerton, look a little like its nickname, the haunted house. The house, officially at 10 Penn Avenue, was built in 1881 for General Elisha Marshall, an officer in the Civil War, on what used to be referred to as Eddy’s Hill. Marshall and his regiment gained notoriety at the Second Battle of Bull Run in 1862 and later that year at Fredericksburg. The home can be seen from quite a distance when approaching the Palmerton exit on Route 248. JAMES LOGUE JR./SPECIAL TO THE TIMES NEWS
