Summary

Description
English: Peter Valentine Kolb's Farmhouse at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, Georgia.

The Kolb farmhouse is the only remaining park building that existed during the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain and is a rare example from an early period of Cobb County settlement. The farmstead has been compromised by the loss of its associated farm acreage, vegetation patterns, and outbuildings, as well as the widening of Powder Springs Road, the National Park Service, starting in 1963, has rehabilitated the exterior of the farmhouse to its 1830s appearance.

When removing the more modern clapboard siding, they revealed the original hewn logs. The interior, although adapted to serve as park quarters, still reflects the original Georgian plan. Most of the original 1830s historic fabric was retained in the rehabilitations. Both the house and the cemetery remain in their original location.
