A stately two-story Italianate home attributed to J.E. Marchand, probably James Edmund Marchand (1834-1894), who is listed in the 1870 Census as a "miner" living in Oakland. The house features tall arched windows, a bracketed cornice, a large bay window, and an ornate fence. 

Ingersoll (1834-1904), a native of Boston, emigrated to California in 1860 and arrived in San Francisco on 23 February 1861. He moved to Oakland by the autumn of 1865, opening a gallery on Broadway. A mainstay of the Oakland photographic trade, he specialized in views of the city, the vicinity, and its notable citizens.
