Marietta Candlelight Tour
The Marietta Restoration
Associates will conduct their
15th annual Christmas Can-
dlelight Tour this Sunday,
December 7, from 2 to 7 pm.
The tour, one of the largest
in the area, includes private
homes as well as non-
residential buildings. The
emphasis on this season’s
tour is the adapting of old
buildings for modern usage.
A special feature of the
day’s festivities is the
Kingsford Consort, a mus-
ical ensemble featuring
period selections from Me-
dieval to Baroque played on
antique instruments at the
Union Meeting House on
North Waterford Avenue.
Concerts will be at 3 and S
pm.
An Associates’ produced
slide show will be shown
continuously on the second
floor of the Community
House.
Many shops and restaur-
ants in the town will be open
this Sunday in conjunction
with the tour. See page S
advertisements.
Lunch will be served at
the Marietta Fire Hall,
North Waterford Avenue,
for $2.50.
The Diane and Roger
Jackson Home was built one
hundred and thirty years
ago by Henry Musselman, a
local ironmaster, as his
second home. The present
owners are the fifth family
to occupy this large,
stately residence. The white
brick facade is accentuated
by ornate ironwork. Interior
shutters and dog-eared
windows add charm to the
family antiques.
The Carroll’s Home, lo-
cated at 467 East Market
Street, has come back to life
after being vacant for more
than twenty years. A major
addition has been added to
the east side of the frame
house. Keeping to the
original structure, an open
beam ceiling highlights the
living-dining room in the
new addition. The bathroom
has a copper bathtub, slate
floor, marble sink top and
original brass fixtures.

East Market Street, was
originally 2%: stories before
an early twentieth century
fire reduced it to its present
size. Built circa 1834, and
still used as a brewery in
1876, it was used as an
amusement center during
the early part of this
century, housing billards,
bowling and roller skating.
It was also used as a sewing
factory until 1971, and in
1975 the current tenant
moved in and opened a
small antiques and gift
shop.
The Union Meeting
House, built in 1817, is one
construction of catch basins
for run-off rainfall. It has
