I have written a number of posts about Historic Marietta, PA, including the Christmas Candlelight Tour and the scenic Breezy View Overlook. One of the reasons Marietta is such a treasure is its remarkably diverse historic architecture.
This is a log and stone home I restored in the early 1980s. The upper log portion of the home is dated 1801. The earlier stone part of the house was originally a one story building dating from the 1700s, before records were kept in the borough.
The restored Old Town Hall Museum with its working clock tower. The original jail is underneath the first floor.
The restored Union Meeting Hall, built in 1818.
Marietta's Center Square. Formerly the home of Mary Creswell, a member of the Marietta Restoration Association.
A fine example of the Victorian period of architecture.

Nice photos Brian.
Any of those buildings could be found in my area too.
Brian, What incredibly beautiful photos and historic buildings. I know I was born in the wrong century for when I gaze upon these fine old masterpieces, something stirs in my soul and a great peace washes over my inner being. Kind of like the feeling of stepping into one's home after the end of a long and stressful day or out of a wild storm.
The stone and log house you restored is very unique and beautiful....I've never seen log and stone brought together like this before and somehow, now that I see it , it genuinely works.

Jeannie, Marietta is one of my favorite towns, too!
Jason, thanks for stopping by -
Jo, sometimes I think I was born in the wrong century as well. I do love the old homes and the hand-fashioned materials that were used.
I know exactly what you mean when you say that you feel a peaceful feeling wash over you when you enter one of these special homes.
Brian,
Nice pictures, and nice restoration job. My passion is old homes and I drive all over Pa taking pictures of them. Enjoy your blogs,
