Father of renowned artist Reginald Marsh, Frederick Dana Marsh was born to a prosperous Chicago family in 1872. After attending the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, he married and moved to New York. Around the turn of the century, Marsh and his family settled in the artist colony at Nutley, New Jersey. During this time he created a series of murals entitled Allegories of Industry, for the New York Engineering Society Library.
Marsh also produced a number of terra cotta murals, Maritime History of the Hudson, for the Hotel McAlpin, located at the corner of Broadway and 34th Street, in Manhattan. The murals were relocated to the New York City transit system in 2000 when the building was converted into rental aprtments. As part of a preservation effort the murals were reassembled at the Broadway/Nassau Street Station on the A-line.
