The Marshall Orr House was built in 1885 by Dr. Samuel Marshall Orr, as a smaller replica of the home of his father, Governor James L. Orr. Gov. Orr's home, known locally as Forest Home and Arlington was demolished in 1956. A physician in Anderson for 35 years, Dr. Orr owned a pharmacy, was involved with Anderson's first building and loan association and served as vice-president of the Farmers and Merchants Bank. In the community, he served as a trustee of Anderson schools and was a vestryman of Grace Episcopal Church for twenty years.
