cole house
The Cole House was built by Henry Greene Cole in 1842 after he moved to Marietta from New York to work for the Western & Atlantic Railroad. In addition to his work as a railroad surveyor, he became owner of several local farms and the Marietta Hotel on the Marietta Square. Mr. Cole opposed secession, and during the Civil War he provided information on railroad topography and Confederate troop movements to the Union Army. He was arrested by the Confederates and briefly imprisoned in Charleston. Returning to Marietta upon his release, he lived again in the Cole House. He donated the land for the National Cemetery which is adjacent to the Cole House.
The Cole House is on the National Registry of Historic Places. The law firm of Downey & Cleveland purchased the building in 1973.
