The Robert Mable House and Cemetery is a historic residential building in Mableton, Georgia, now used as the Mable House Arts Center.[2] The plantation plain house was constructed by Robert Mable (1803-1885), an immigrant from Scotland who lived in Savannah, Georgia before buying the 300 acre property in Cobb County, Georgia from the Georgia Gold Land Lottery of 1832. He lived in a log cabin before building a sawmill and constructing the home ca. 1843.[3]
The home is operated by the Cobb County Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs Department. It is the site of a fall storytelling festival, and is used for school field trips and summer heritage camps. Public tours are offered Thursdaysfrom 8:30-12:30 during the hours of the Mableton Farmer's Market from June until September.[3] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 1, 1988. It is located at 5239 Floyd Road.
