Marshall Hall on Hincks Street in The City is among the island’s historic treasures but the 1861 structure is also the home of a steadily growing tree that is now almost 12 feet tall.
Marshall Hall which has been abandoned for more than two decades is located in the once thriving warehouse district of Hincks Street and according to the Historic Bridgetown and its Garrison website, Marshall Hall’s upper floor once “hosted balls, plays, bazaars, concerts, and at one time even the annual exhibition”.
