I pass this house each day and every time I look at it it seems to beg to be cared for and have its story told. It stands as a monument to times gone by, when life was harder but so much more simple, when values were mirrored in the way we lived and raised our families.

Over the last 60 years, I have been fasicnated by this old home and am curious about stories it could tell.

The house is beautiful and more representative of Southern rural history than any columned, plantation house.

It seems to be in pretty good shape. Maybe not lots to keep up. Reminds me of our history here in the South.

This house really represents the areas people, simple but classically southern. It would be sad to let it decay.

an unusual house type for this area, and I like pyramidal roofs

I work for a county agency and about 5 years ago I delivered a Christmas package to the elderly female owner of this home through the Christmas Joy Program. She told us alittle of the history of the home in which she said she had pretty much lived her whole life. She was in her late 80's. She told us of how her father built this home in the early 1900's by hand. I stopped by before the property went up sold and found out the owner had been placed in a nursing home due to illness. I think it would be a shame to destroy this home and loose the history which could be gained by her and this home.

My mother grew up with the lady that lived there. It would be ashame to see such a historical site destroyed. It has a lot of history.

I have always been intrigued by this house when driving down Hwy. 20. I've been tempted to stop, but never did. I would love to see it preserved.

It would be a wonderful house to restore, I wish that as a state we would do more to perserve history as they do in the northern states, Georgia is so backwards in everything from education to race relations.

What a beautiful, old home this still is. This building is a testiment to our past and harkens to a Cherokee County that once was...

Once again, development threatens to destroy our history and forever wipe away our sense of community. This old home must be saved and preserved for future generations.

What legacy will we leave our children? Walmart Supercenters and massive, sprawling shopping centers?

This house is a part of my personal history and the history of Cherokee County. William Andrew Gramling was my Great Grandfather. I would love to see the house restored, so my children and future generations could enjoy learning about its history.

Look at it! It's classic southern folk architecture. It appears to still be in relative good condition. Save our rural/Appalachian heritage!

I first saw this house off of Highway 20 seven years ago. It is a perfect glimpse of what a farm house life was 70 to 80 years ago.

This house has always fascinated me. It represents the lifestyle of the common people of this area. Too many grand houses are saved but what about the ordinary homes? They represent the history of the majority of the people who lived here.

friends of the family

mom made me

The history and unique design of this home is something the world shouldn't want to lose. I've seen many people fall in love with this house - it has a mysterious enchantment about it.

because we need our history, not more development and because this house is important to a friend.

I pass this house everyday!

I believe History should be perserved. Also this house seems like it is thriving with stories from the past. Which may be valuable to arcitecture and human history.

this house is truly a piece of history. the roof alone makes it unique enough to justify preservation!

This is my great grandparent's home and my grandfather helped build it.

Built of Heart Pine? How many structures like that are around now? Yes it is worth saving.

Great Grandfathers House; Great Aunt Myrtle lived in the house. I loved the design of the house and sense of history. I do not know want the new owner has planned, I only hope someone can save her.

Wanda Rahm believes in it's significance, and I trust her judgement.

Really interesting architecture.

I have a friend whom lives off of 20. I pass this house often and didn't realize until quite recently it's a family heirloom of another friend of mine. Please keep this house it has such a story behind it. We cant keep killing out history.

The Gramling House is a tradition!

Distant Family's former home.

This house has lots of good memories.

I agree with so many that it is a valuable piece of history that should be persevered for future generations. I can almost see the children playing in the yard from years ago, smell the fried chicken and see the Father smoking his pipe and watching his children from the front porch.

please don't destroy this old home place as it is part of my family history as i grew up going there and having family reunions there
my great aunt katie gramling lived there for a long time.
i would like to see it restored
as i am sure that there can be told that the house and property has a lot of american and cherokee county
history,WALMART HAS A LOT ALREADY

Great style of an older home. Looks to be in fairly good shape.

This house has always been a landmark when traveling to Bartow County. I would love to see it preserved.

It is very beautiful and it was my ancestors home.

I have passed this many times and love looking at it and the tin roof. I had no idea of the histroy behind this house and wouuld love to see it preserved.

My grandmother was a Gramling. There are not many homes left to show what people might have lived in during this era. I think preserving this house would benefit the history of this area and bring awareness of how things were done before Lake Allatoona was formed.

Architecture and history are important

live near this and it is unique-Gramling family important in history of Cherokee county

If a house could talk, imagine the stories this one would tell. It should be saved as they all should be.

This looks like such a lovely piece of the architectural style that I hate to think of it being torn down.

I pass by there every weekend and I've always been interested in the history of this house. I would like very much to see it preserved.

I would like to see this home preserved.

Please save this house.

Please do not destroy this house.

This house is a piece of history. Please save it.

Cherokee County has let too many distinct buildings be razed such as the old hotel in downtown. It would be a shame for a house of this type to be lost forever. Many people are too quick to just buldoze rather than restore.

Just discovered this is the home of classmates grandparents.

Great Grandparents House. Please save her. The Gramling's have been in the area for many generations now.

Beautiful old home

Would love to see resored

Please Restore!!!!

I love this Rugged and graceful old home.

Georgous!

Reminds me of times gone by...

This house was built by my Grandfather. My Father and his sisters grew upin this house. I would love to see this house selected as one of the historical sites in Cherokee county.

I would love to see this old house saved.

This is my 3rd choice. The need seems to be greater.

I was part of a music video shoot in this house and would like to learn more about its history. Does anyone have information on William Andrew Gramling?
