I took this
picture several years ago. It is the back of an abandoned house overlooking railroad tracks. It was taken from behind the Federal Credit
Union. The house was a residence and
years later when Dobbins Air Force Base owned the land it was on, it became the
Officers' Club. I have been there at least
once at a retirement party.
I heard from
several sources that the house was haunted.
It was torn
down Monday: Bulldozed away to make way
for progress. The Marietta Daily Journal
said Marietta Museum of History C.E.O. Dan Cox
was allowed to go through the house before it was demolished in search
of anything of historical significance.
He found a few items, like wood pegs, used as nails.
My
grandparents, Frank and Minnie Tyson Hunter owned a farm one time on part of what
became the Dobbins-Lockheed Complex, I
don't know if they lived close to this house or not.
Now, where
will the ghosts go to make room for progress?
Maybe the same place the deer, coyotes, foxes, and bears went when their habitats were bulldozed: In your face!
