The Marietta Pilgrimage
A Christmas Home Tour through Marietta, Georgia
The Dobbins-McDaniel House, c. 1940's
103 Whitlock
This property was once part of Wilder Glover's "Myrtle Hill" estate and was used as a neighborhood ball field. Mrs. Ethel Dobbins purchased the lot and built this cottage-style house. Her son was an air force pilot who was killed in WWII and Dobbins Air Force Base was re-named in his honor. Upon her death, the home was sold to Mr. & Mrs. Bob Turner in the late 1950's. In the early 1960's, they traded houses with Mrs. Frank McNeel (Bird Tate) who also owned the Kennesaw House and the Turners moved to Villa Rica Road.
Mrs. McNeel's daughter, Ada Bird McNeel Byrd inherited the home and used it as rental property. She later sold it to Mr. Frank Wynn. The current owner is Mary Jo McDaniel.
