On the south side of the 300 block of W. Main (address not shown on building), is a two-story brick building which has been painted a bright red with green trim. At the center roof line is a curved name/date block which reads "CITY HALL 1911".

This building is no longer used for the City offices, which have moved to 115 N. 2nd Street.

Marlow is located along Highway 81 north of Duncan, in Stephens County. This town was built along the old Chisholm Trail which was used in the 1880s to bring cattle from Texas up to the rail heads in Kansas. Marlow is also the home of the infamous Marlow Brothers and their story is commemorated west of the downtown area in Red Bud Park.

This two-story building has three bays facing W. Main Street. The center bay has a single aluminum and glass entry door inside a slightly recessed archway. The second floor has a 30-glass block window. The outer bays on the second floor each have a window unit with both fixed panes and hung sashes. On the ground level, the east bay has one of these window units, while the west bay has a multi-paned overhead door.

There is no signage or address shown on the building, and it was not possible to determine how this building is being used at this time.
