Stripling - Lovelady House - Before
​
This is the largest and most elaborate Neoclassical Revival House in the County, D.C. Stripling, manager of the Bank of Ball Ground, built this residence in 1912. The original floor plan was a central hallway with three rooms on each side. The two-story home has a two-tiered front and wrapped around porch, with a circular corner, supported by full height, giant ionic columns. Additional features include a main entry with transom and sidelights, two story bay window, two interior ridge and two exterior eave brick chimneys, boxed cornice with modillions and windows crowned with a cornice with dentils. Local history sources claims the Stripling "Broke the bank" by constructing the home; shortly after the building was completed, the bank of ball ground failed. Stripling sold the home in 1920 to A. J. Lovelady.
