Roselawn is a mansion in Cartersville in the U.S. state of Georgia.

Location

Roselawn is located at 244 Cherokee Avenue, Cartersville, Bartow County, Georgia, United States.[1][2]

History

In the 1860s, Nelson Gilreath, a local merchant, built a one-story house with an attic.[3] By 1872, the attic was converted into bedrooms.[3]

In the 1880s, the house was purchased by Samuel Porter Jones, a Christian revivalist.[2][3] Jones added two stories at the back of the house.[3] By 1895, he added a third floor and a basement.[3] After Jones died in 1906, his widow, Laura McElwain Jones, continued to reside there until the 1920s.[3]

In the 1930s, the house was purchased by Guy Parmenter and his wife, Marie Cole Bell Parmenter.[3] The couple added an elevator and resided there until 1968.[3] It was uninhabited for the next decade.[3]

The house was acquired by Bartow County in 1978.[3] They converted it into a museum about the lives of Samuel Porter Jones and another famed resident of Cartersville (though not Roselawn), Rebecca Latimer Felton.[2][3]

Architectural significance

It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since January 12, 1973.[1]
