Marburg (Virginia)
Marburg is a historic home located in the Carillon/Byrd Park area of Richmond, Virginia. It is the oldest standing residence in this area of Richmond, predating nearby Maymont by 4 years. The house was slated for demolition in 2013 to make way for 6 new homes but was saved by an ardent group of preservationists and the Historic Richmond Foundation. The redesigned development will now incorporate and encircle the existing house. An exterior restoration was completed in 2015 returning the house to its original colors after being stark white for many years. The barn red roof color was also restored. An antebellum 2-room servant cottage survives intact next to the kitchen which pre-dates the house itself (see below).
==History==
Built in 1889 by Colonel Charles Euker, the house was named after his hometown of Marburg in Hessen, Germany. Euker was a courier for George Washington Custis Lee during the Civil War and later ran a successful saloon and billiard hall in Richmond. He was later Commandant of the Lee Confederate Soldier's Home, now the site of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. After Euker's ownership, it passed through a series of prominent Richmond families, largely as a summer residence. While alterations and improvements were made until about 1936, Marburg's interior has since been unaltered, yielding a time capsule of untouched authenticity.
