George and Cora Skelton's Smoke House

"It might be best to only remember some parts of old Kennesaw. This is a picture of my Grandparent's smoke house, it was located behind their home at 2259 Lewis Street. This structure was torn down in the late 1970's. I don't think this would be a pleaseing sight in front of the new Kennesaw City Hall." (photo and text by Joe Bozeman)
