The original portion was built in 1888 by John young, who inherited the land from his father, Lewis, in 1879. At that time it was in the Italian Villa style. An addition was added to the rear in 1888-9 by owner, Isaac N. Jones. The house was remodeled to its present form in 1900-1901 by railroad executive James Yeomans. James A. Drain, Sr. owned it from 1920 until 1936. He renamed it Marsland-on-the-Potomac after his wife, Ethel's maiden name. From 1941 until 1994, the religious group, Baraca Philathea used it for various purposes. Since then, it has undergone extensive restoration by its present owner.[3] It is a 2 1/2-story frame dwelling in a transitional Queen Anne-Colonial Revival style. It features a steeply pitched hipped roof and a prominent, semi-circular corner tower.[4] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[2] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Virginia Landmarks Register|url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/register_counties_cities.htm|publisher=Virginia Department of Historic Resources|accessdate=5 June 2013|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130921053819/http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/register_counties_cities.htm|archivedate=21 September 2013|df=}} {{National Register of Historic Places in Virginia}}{{FairfaxCountyVA-NRHP-stub}}2. ^1 {{NRISref|version=2010a}} 3. ^https://www.theclio.com/web/entry?id=25373 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Counties/Fairfax/029-0151_TowerHouse_2005_NRfinal.pdf |title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Tower House |author=Kathryn Gettings Smith and Evelyn D.
