The Alexander Marsh House is a 1+1⁄2-story Greek Revival cottage located in Worcester, Massachusetts. Built in 1848 by Levi Lincoln Jr, it is a well-preserved and relatively unaltered instance of a widely popular architectural form for its time.
The house follows a typical side hall plan. The front-facing gable end is fully pedimented, and the porch is supported by fluted Doric columns. The entry is framed by sidelight windows, with full-length windows to the right of the entry.
Alexander Marsh, a piano dealer, was the first occupant of the house. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 5, 1980. Today, it sits at 57 Elm Street as a well-preserved example of its style.
