Marshall Street - History

History

Marshall Street is believed to be named for Louis B. Marshall (1856–1929), a Syracuse native and corporate and constitutional lawyer, who also helped found the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry. The 100 block of Marshall Street received the honorary name Louis Marshall Way in 2006. Historians are unsure if the street originally honored Louis Marshall, who only reached prominence after the turn of the twentieth century.

The Marshall Square Mall is also located adjacent to Marshall Street. The area is promoted by the Crouse-Marshall Business Association. Marshall Street has been renovated many times over the years.

    the future is simply nothing at all. Nothing has happened to the present by becoming past except that fresh slices of existence have been added to the total history of the world. The past is thus as real as the present.
