Roselawn Museum, House museum in Cartersville, Georgia.

Roselawn is a mansion at 244 Cherokee Avenue in Cartersville, Georgia, now a museum. Nelson Gilreath built it in the 1860s as a one-story house with an attic; Samuel Porter Jones added two stories at the back in the 1880s, then a third floor and a basement by 1895. Guy and Marie Parmenter installed an elevator in the 1930s.

Nelson Gilreath, a local merchant, built a one-story house with an attic here in the 1860s; by 1872 the attic had been converted into bedrooms. The revivalist Samuel Porter Jones bought it in the 1880s and added two stories at the rear, then a third floor and a basement by 1895. His widow Laura McElwain Jones lived there until the 1920s, and Guy and Marie Cole Bell Parmenter, who installed an elevator, owned it until 1968. Bartow County acquired the house in 1978 and made it a museum; it was listed on the National Register on January 12, 1973.

Bartow County acquired the house in 1978 and turned it into a museum devoted to two Cartersville figures: Samuel Porter Jones, the revivalist who owned Roselawn, and Rebecca Latimer Felton, who lived elsewhere in the city. Displays follow their lives rather than a general period interior.

Roselawn stands at 244 Cherokee Avenue in Cartersville, Bartow County. The house was acquired by Bartow County in 1978 and opened as a museum, so the county offices are the contact for arranging a visit. The building sits on Cherokee Avenue within the town grid, a short walk from the centre of Cartersville.

Roselawn began in the 1860s as a one-story house with an attic built by merchant Nelson Gilreath; by 1872 the attic had been turned into bedrooms. Revivalist Samuel Porter Jones later added two rear stories, then a third floor and a basement by 1895. Guy and Marie Parmenter, owners from the 1930s to 1968, installed an elevator.
