The Rice-Marler House, in Decatur, Tennessee, was built in 1856. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. [1]

It is a two-story frame house built upon a stone pier foundation, with a one-story rear ell. Its weatherboard exterior is covered with aluminum siding. [2]

The site includes foundation ruins of a slave cabin. [2]

The house is unusual as one of few I-houses in Meigs County, Tennessee which has a five-bay facade and gable end chimneys. It is also unusual for having graining on its interior doors and marbling on its mantlepieces. [2]
