Old Marietta Historical Houses on the Block in 2008





Brumby House.  also the Dean's House of the Georgia Military Academy, Pre Civil War.  It wasn't on the bidders' block, just a rest place and maybe give one a guilt trip to donate funds.


When my father was a young man during the depression he got a job with one of the Federal's jobs programs (CC Camps?O).  He worked every day and brought home the money to his parents.  He recalled picking up a lot of big rocks or small boulders on Mr.  Manning's property.  Look above!  Enough to make a barn for Mr.  Manning.  Look below, enough rocks to lay the bottom floor of Mr. Manning's house. I think Mr. Manning was the father of Judge Manning.





This is just a big empty house on Whitlock Avenue overlooking the beginnings  of Whitlock Heights.  It was on the block too.


I suppose the antiques had price (negotiable) on them too.



I forgot to mention,  very polite real estate sales people with their notebooks was buzzing around like gnats.
