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.

Marietta, PA

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.

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.

Lenn, the remarkable thing is that almost all the homes shown here can be found on one street.  A good part of the borough is now an historic district.

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, These historic homes and buildings are absolutely beautiful.  I love seeing older architecture and am facinated by the many different styles.  The home you restored is quite a suprise, I've also never seen the two together and it does work well.  Thank you for sharing these.

Carole, when I first started work on this home, it was totally covered over with a concrete-like plaster over the whole house.  It wasn't until I had started chipping away at the plaster on the second floor that I realized it had original logs underneath!

Nice pictures, and nice restoration job.  My passion is old homes and I drive all over Pa taking pictures of them.  Enjoy your blogs,

Dottie, in the last year or so I have kept my camera in the car at all times so I could take photos of worthy old homes wherever I discovered them.
