Out and About Marshfield: Can you spot it?

Welcome to National Historic Preservation Month 2025.  You will be seeing many activities celebrating Marshfield and its history over the month of May.  One of these activities is a column by Marshfield’s Historic Preservation Commission that will run weekly in this publication titled "Out and About Marshfield.”

Each week for the next five weeks, we will run a photograph of something in Marshfield. Your task is to tell us the location of what is pictured.  You will have one chance each week to either email us your entry at outandaboutmarshfield2025@gmail.com or put your entry in the box at the information desk on the second floor of the Everett Roehl Marshfield Public Library.

Your entry must include:

• Your name
• Your contact information (email or phone number)
• The address of the building or structure

Deadline for each week's entries will be 5 p.m. the following Monday.  No entries for the previous week will be accepted after that time.

There will be a weekly drawing from those having correct answers, and then one additional drawing at the end of the five weeks from all the correct entries for a grand prize winner.

Here’s your clue for Week 1:

This portico, or covered colonnade, consists of a roof supported by columns and is an example of classical architecture at the entrance of this long-time Marshfield business. Where can I be found?

We're hoping this weekly feature will keep you guessing all through Historic Preservation Month 2025, at least until next week, when you can read where this is.  Of course, we prefer that you get Out and About Marshfield and enter your guess for the chance to win a prize.
