• 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.
