Northwest Marietta Historic District, Historic district in Marietta, Georgia.

The Northwest Marietta Historic District encompasses approximately 230 acres of well-preserved 19th and early 20th-century buildings featuring Greek Revival, Late Victorian, and Plantation Plain architectural styles that showcase the region's historical development over time.

Established in 1975 on the National Register of Historic Places, the district includes the Kennesaw House built around 1845 where Andrews' Raiders stayed before executing the famous Great Locomotive Chase during the Civil War.

The district's name comes from its position northwest of downtown Marietta, running from Whitlock Avenue out along Kennesaw Avenue to Noses Creek. The Brumby Chair Factory on Church Street, founded around 1879, made the Brumby rocker, and the house of its first owner, James Remley Brumby, stands at 285 Kennesaw Avenue. The Law House at 60 Polk Street is on the Marietta Ghost Trolley Tour.

Visitors can access the district from downtown Marietta with available parking options and informational signage, while property owners must obtain Certificates of Appropriateness before undertaking any modifications or restoration projects.

The Law House at 60 Polk Street, built around 1872, replaced an earlier home that burned after the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain and reuses some of the original chimney's bricks. Its mansard roof and jigsaw-trimmed dormers put it on the Marietta Ghost Trolley Tour.
