The Marmaduke Forster House is large Victorian-style house built by Marmaduke Forster in 1786. It has since been renovated a few times. Currently the house has been converted into office space that is used by professionals and small business owners. The structure features an 80-foot front porch, elaborate woodwork throughout and a Queen Anne octagonal turret. The Marmaduke Forster House is currently being registered into the National Registry of Historic Places. There is also a wine club here that holds monthly meetings, tastings and dinners.
