Born in Alabama, the Rev. Walker Montecue Allen (1819-1899) was a Cumberland Presbyterian minister, author, and teacher.
He moved to Marshall in 1876 with his wife Eliza Ann (Handly) (1829-1902) and their nine children.
They erected this two-story residence in 1879, with the Rev. Allen and his older sons doing most of the carpentry and masonry work.
An example of the late Greek Revival style, this structure was occupied by the Allen family until 1942.
