Postcard collection continued. I collect postcards too, just not on such a
big scale as Marie's. First is a
postcard of the 1848 House in Marietta in my collection and next is the same
subject in Marie's collection.
If one ever asks you what mansion in Marietta was owned by
two mayors a century apart you can smugly say the 1848 House. It was first owned Marietta Mayor Bolan
Glover , in well, 1848. Then in late
1900s and early 2000s it was owned by Marietta Mayor Bill Dunaway, who owned it as a fine
dining restaurant.
It had a reputation of being haunted. In the mid 1920s it was abandoned and my
father and some friends spent the night
in it waiting for a ghostly experience.
I don't think they had any kind of ghostly experience. Bill
Dunaway has a few stories or eerie happenings there that his restaurant staff had.
After it left Bill Dunaway's ownership the rumor was that
Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones bought the house. That didn't pan out. The last I heard it was going to be a focal
point or a clubhouse for a small subdivision.
