Marsh-Warthen House, Greek Revival house museum in LaFayette, United States.
The Marsh-Warthen House features symmetrical massing, low hipped roof, and square Doric columns on both the main porch and second-story balcony.
Spencer Marsh, a former North Carolina Senator, constructed this residence in 1836 and established the first cotton mill in Northwest Georgia with Andrew Allgood.
The Marsh household provided accommodations to students attending Chattooga Academy, including future Georgia Governor and U.S. Senator John B. Gordon.
The museum opens Fridays and Saturdays from 10 AM to 5 PM, offering guided tours at $10 for adults and $5 for children under twelve.
During the Civil War, Union troops occupied the house, leaving visible marks including blood-stained floors and horse hoof prints in the main hall.
