Photos of the house as it is today, and as it looked in the 1880's The Marbold farmstead is located on the south edge of Greenview on Route 29. The original house was built in 1850 by John Marbold, who came to the United States from Germany in 1847. The house was enlarged and renovated by his son, H.H. Marbold, in the 1880's. After the house sat empty and neglected for many years, a restoration project was recently started by the Historic Marbold Farmstead Association, who hope to turn the grounds into a living history farm.
