Andrew J. Cheney House
Andrew J. Cheney House, Greek Revival residence in Marietta, United States
Description
The Andrew J. Cheney House is a Greek Revival residence built in the mid-1800s with white columns and symmetrical windows typical of that period. The property covers about 9.2 acres and displays the architectural features you would expect from a substantial Georgia plantation house.
History
Built in 1857, the house served as a temporary station for General William Sherman during his 1864 campaign through Georgia. This moment marked when the property was directly caught up in the conflict reshaping the entire region.
Culture
The house reflects how Southern farms shifted from enslaved labor to sharecropping after the Civil War. Walking through the property, you can sense how these economic changes shaped the daily life and structure of the land.
Practical
The property is located on Bankstone Drive SW and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. You should plan to arrive during daylight hours since the site is set back from the main road and can be tricky to spot.
Did you know?
John Percival Cheney, son of the original owner, inherited the house and later served in the Georgia House of Representatives. His long connection to the place helped preserve many architectural details across the generations.
