Granger's home, "Overlook"
  • Granger's home, "Overlook", had the larget observatory in the Southern United States, her husband was an amateur astronomer. The Grangers spent many years travelling and collected mementos on display in their home, including the inkstand from the Civil War. Granger was described as "one of the most prominent women of the state", and was credited for her work in child labor laws, and women's club work.[8]
  • He returned to Cartersville. He soon built a massive home of 28 rooms named the Overlook, entered the local mining industry, became a valued member of the community, entertained frequently and installed in his home the largest observatory and telescope in the southeastern United States.[7]
  • Granger finally moved to Cartersville and purchased a property located at the end of West Main Street. The original house was a two room structure built circa 1840, and underwent renovations when Granger bought it. Granger continued his involvement with the mining industry and over the years enlarged his home, eventually adding an observatory. The second floor had four bedrooms, each with an arched, formal sitting room. The third floor was a gymnasium with hardwood floors. There were two staircases on the third floor, one led to the observatory and the other to a trap door to the roof. On top of the roof was a large wooden platform from which the observer had a commanding view of Cartersville. It was from this observation deck that the Grangers were inspired to call their home "Overlook." During this period, the house had three stories containing twenty-six rooms. While living in Cartersville, Arthur and Caroline contributed a great deal to the cultural development of Cartersville and to Atlanta.[1]
  • The Cartersville Woman's Club was formerly known as the Cherokee Woman's Club which was originally established in 1893-1895. The objectives of the Cherokee Woman's Club, as stated in the Charter, were to establish a library, to promote the Cause of Fellowship, Education and Charity, and all things that went to the betterment of the community. The Club became part of the Georgia Federation of Women's Clubs. The City of Cartersville donated a site at Church Street on the Square next to the City Hall, on which to build the library and their clubhouse. The original club house was planned as a one-story building, but Mr. A.O. Granger donated the material for an upstairs room to be used for the library and the reading room. Later, Mrs. A.O. Granger later became the 3rd President of GFWC Georgia.[9]
