It is also significant in local history as the home of Civil War veteran Ephraim Braswell and later of the Carnes family. Few homes can be documented to this period.","narrative":"Built around 1865-66 by Ephraim Braswell, a returning Civil War veteran, this one-story frame farmhouse on Burnt Hickory Road in Marietta, Georgia, has six rooms, a wide central hall and a U-shaped porch. Its hand-hewn timber frame rests on piers of native stone and is covered in weatherboard, with plank walls and wide oak and pine floors inside. The design follows the Plantation Plain tradition, shortened to one story as was common in the Georgia Piedmont. The porch, extended in 1910, carries Victorian columns and brackets. Braswell farmed 100 acres received from his father-in-law and died in 1882. James Davis Carnes, a farmer who arranged sharecropping across his large holdings, bought the house in 1898, and it has stayed in the Carnes family. A kitchen was added in 1936 and a restoration took place in 1982. The 12.796-acre property is listed for its architecture and local history, since few homes can be documented to the Civil War period.","period_of_significance":"1861-66","architect_builder":"Unknown other than owner","architectural_style":"Plantation Plain","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"Occupied private residence; restored in 1982 and still owned by the Carnes family descendants.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:55:43.472002-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_GA/84000974.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84000974/64e064a78c-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84000974/64e064a78c-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Nilesrob","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Braswell-Carnes_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Nilesrob</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Braswell-Carnes_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/93207555","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braswell-Carnes_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q55605875"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/georgia/cobb-county/braswell-carnes-house-84000974/"}
