Thank you for taking the time (and using a creative approach) to find a recent photo of my great-grandfather's house! Frank Marvin's grandsons later owned Van Scoy Tractor Sales, located on South Kniffen in a former Friends meeting house (now a hardware store). They sold Minneapolis Moline and New Idea tractors and implements. I have first-hand knowledge of that business. Their father Ed Van Scoy was still farming with horses in the late 1920s, so I'm guessing Frank Marvin around 1910 sold implements but not tractors. ("vsk03" stands for "Van Scoy-Knapp reunion 2003" which we revived in 2003 after a hiatus of about 40 years. I use that address for reunion-related genealogy.)

I think I found the Frank Martin house unless numbering has changed. Looking at some exterior change it could fit 1910 decade. First I went to Greenwich old photos and came up with an old postcard that showed a church; next to google earth. E. Main, Greenwich is the only street available. Wonder of wonders the old church still exists - United Methodist and got the address of 19 E. Main. So took a “drive”, up and down the for awhile, checking landmarks, that is, commercial properties. Found the Shell Gas Station, among others, googled and found the address, 45 E. Main. Thought maybe the house would have been torn down. But looked at the next house anyhow, enlarged it and saw 47. Later just put the address in google and it seems to be up for sale. No “built in” listed. You might get in touch with the realtor for more information including how to get the records from the past.
