Paul D. Marshall, AIA, founder and President Emeritus of Paul D. Marshall, Architects and Engineers has earned a reputation as one of West Virginia's leading historical architects.

Mr. Marshall founded his independent practice in 1972 as Paul D. Marshall, Architect in Charleston, West Virginia. By 1977, that practice had grown to become an incorporated architectural services corporation known as Paul D. Marshall & Associates, Inc.

Before that assignment, he was employed from 1957 to 1959 as a part-time draftsman at Martens & Son Architects in Charleston.

Mr. Marshall is a member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), the AIA National Regional and Urban Design Committee, and the AIA National Committee on Historic Resources. For this last committee he served as Preservation Coordinator for West Virginia. His other affiliations include the West Virginia Society of Architects (WVSA) and the West Virginia Board of Architects (1988 member). In 1979, he served on the WVSA's Board of Directors.

Since 1984, he has served as Chairman of the Charleston Historic District Review Board. He is a member of the Blennerhassett Historical Park Commission and from 1981 to 1984 was among the Board of Directors of the Preservation Alliance of West Virginia.
