| Marietta:
bird's eye view |
This
view to the northwest, from the southeast corner of the square
was probably taken from the courthouse tower. Kennesaw mountain
looms in the distance. The tall smokestack, center, has not yet
been identified, but the smaller one to the right may be that of
the Brumby chair works. Courtesy of Gary Doster. |
| Marietta:
cotton scene |
This
is a view looking east and slightly south along Washington Street.
The buildings on the right face the south side of the square. The
brick structure intruding slightly from the left is probably the
courthouse, under construction (thus, this view would predate the
1906 views of the completed work). Courtesy of Gary Doster. |
| Marietta
City Park |
This
is a view looking south along the east side of the park. The two-storey
brick building which dominates this view is still in use, though
the facade has been remodelled significantly. For another view
of this building, see the cotton scene card. Courtesy of Gary Doster. |
