Back in the 1980s, I was restoring two homes in Marietta, PA. One was an 18th century log & stone home, and the other was a Federal mansion that had been cut into apartments, sustained a fire, lost its roof and been condemned. As the Christmas season approached, I thought it would be good publicity to put them both on the annual Marietta Candlelight Tour of historic homes, even though they were far from finished.

As rough as they still were inside at the time of the tour, I decorated them with greenery and a tree. I had a display inside the stone & log house showing some of the things I had dug up under the floor, which had needed to be replaced. There were hand-blown bottles, shards of crockery, and even a rusty Derringer pistol!

We received many positive comments from the visitors who had bought tickets to the Candlelight Tour!

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.
