“The Felker House is one of the only remaining grand homes along downtown Dalton’s Thornton Ave.,” said Casey Rutherford of Ansley Real Estate Christie’s International, who is listing the home for sale. “It was built by Thomas Felker, a local banker, and stayed in his family for four generations. Thankfully for future generations, the home was completely restored to its original grandeur and still boasts its original woodwork, beautiful stained glass, 11 fireplaces, a grand staircase and spectacular millwork. The project won a Preservation Award from the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation for Outstanding Rehabilitation.”
The home sits on a half-acre lot and has been zoned and remodeled to offer flexibility for a buyer wanting a primary residence in the heart of Dalton or a business owner who wants a truly unique space. The previous owners lived in the home and operated a dental office on the ground floor. Throughout the house, characteristic elements of the late 1800’s can be seen, including high ceilings, elaborate fixtures, ornate detailing, polished wood floors, and a wrap-around porch.
