The Brooks-Vanderbogart House, c. 1927

20 McDonald Street

 

The Brooks-Vanderbogart House PhotoThis property was added to the City of Marietta in 1888 along with much of McDonald and Wright Streets as part of a planned neighborhood called the "Maxwell Addition." McDonald Street was named for Governor Charles J. McDonald, whose home Kennesaw Hall stood on Oakmont Drive.

 

This charming craftsman-style cottage was built in 1927. The house has all original outside siding and trim. The interior of the house still retains its original hardwood floors, six-paneled doors and fireplaces. Guy and Katie Vanderbogart currently own the house, which Guy purchased in 1982. Their upgrades to the house include enclosing the sunroom off the dining room in 1982 and adding a side porch in 1984. Also in 1984, a kitchen remodel was completed.
