The Braswell-Carnes House is a historic house in Marietta, Georgia, U.S.. It was built shortly after the American Civil War for a Confederate veteran. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
History
The house was built in 1865-1866 for Ephraim Braswell and his wife, nee Martha Ann Eugenia Wallis.[2] The land was given to the couple as a wedding gift by the bride's father, Josiah Wallis, in 1861. However, the construction of the house was delayed by the American Civil War of 1861-1865. Braswell served in the Confederate States Army (CSA) during the war, and returned to civilian life in 1865.[2]
The house was purchased by James Davis Carnes, a farmer, in 1893.[2] It still belonged to his descendants in the 1980s.[2]
Architectural significance
The house was designed in the Georgian architectural style.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since March 1, 1984.[1]
