Ted,

Assuming that you really have a list of lists, you could use something 
like the expression shown in In[2]"

In[1]:=
rawdata={{Face ,
     1},{observ, 0.1000E+02, 0.3000E+01, 0.4000E+01},{center ,0.1050E+02, \
0.3000E+01,
            0.4000E+01},{e1 ,0.1000E+01, 0.0000E+00 ,0.0000E+00},{e2 \
,0.0000E+00, 0.1000E+01, 0.0000E+00},{e3 ,0.0000E+00, 0.0000E+00, \
0.1000E+01},{v1 ,0.1050E+02, 0.3500E+01, 0.4500E+01},{v2 ,0.1050E+02, \
0.2500E+01, 0.4500E+01},{v3 ,0.1050E+02, 0.2500E+01, 0.4000E+01},{v4 \
,0.1050E+02, 0.3500E+01, 0.4000E+01}};

In[2]:=
((Evaluate[First[#1]] = If[Length[Rest[#1]] == 1,
       Last[#1], Rest[#1]]) & ) /@ rawdata;

In[3]:=
{Face, observ, center, e1, e2, e3, v1, v2, v3, v4}

Out[3]=
{1, {2.27183, 1.81548, 2.08731},

   {2.28542, 1.81548, 2.08731}, {1.27183, 0., 0.},

   {0., 1.27183, 0.}, {0., 0., 1.27183},

   {2.28542, 1.9514, 2.22323},

   {2.28542, 1.67957, 2.22323},

   {2.28542, 1.67957, 2.08731},

   {2.28542, 1.9514, 2.08731}}
