- Description:
- "Mableton, winter 1940s. T.J. Lowe home place. No longer standing.
Picture of the 22-room 19th Century home of Thomas J. Lowe, a native of Coxes District, Mableton, Cobb County, Georgia, born in 1840, and who died in 1916.
His father, John C. Lowe (1801-1955), was listed as head of Family No. 66 in the 1840 Census of Coxes District
Plat Book 5, page 19, Cobb County Deed Records, shows that T.J. Lowe, as Attorney-in-fact for the heirs of John C. Lowe, subdivided 40-acre Land Lot 1295 of the 19th District and 2nd Section of Cobb County, Georgia, into 25 business lots facing the railroad and 36 residential lots north of the business lots, and offered them for sale to the public at auction held on the ground Saturday, May 6, 1882.
This subdivision was bounded on the south by Front Avenue, a street that followed the curvature of the railroad; on the east by Mitchell Street; on the north by Avery Street, and on the west by Daniel Street.
A railroad depot had been erected south of Front Avenue in 1881, and the T.J. Lowe home was subsequently erected immediately south of the railroad depot, at the present site of First National Bank of Cobb County.
The Mableton Post Office was established June 28, 1882, with the appointment of William N. Pace as the first Post Master."--from field notes - External Identifiers:
