Taber Hall
Marion, Massachusetts
$2,495,000
Originally located on Spring Street, near Cottage Street, until 1938, when the “Tabor Swap” was finalized. In the swap, the town of Marion received the library and the schoolhouse (now the Marion Town Hall) and land to build a new Elementary school (now Sippican School). Tabor Academy received land along the harbor, and Taber Hall was moved, rolling on great logs pulled by horses through the fields, to its current location at 13 Cottage Street. Taber Hall stands proudly today as of Marion’s grandest, comfortable family homes with its Italianate architecture, grand living spaces, 6 bedrooms, 5 full baths, and near 5,000 SF of living space all situated on a large and beautifully landscaped lot in the center of this coastal Massachusettstown’s picturesque village.
