This beautifully maintained landmark is known as the Whitlock Inn today, and the following history is shared from their website. “In the 1890s, the M.G. Whitlock House, the famous 150 room Marietta resort, burned to the ground. It had been a popular showplace for tourists taking the train from the hot coastal towns, to the cooler foothills of Georgia. The resort occupied nearly the whole block of Whitlock Avenue. In 1900, part of the land was purchased by Herbert C. Dobbs (1867-1939) and his wife Annie (1870-1961) where the built a Victorian mansion for their family of eight. Since then, the Whitlock Inn has served as a beloved family home, senior citizen center, bed & breakfast, and today, an award winning event facility.”
