Located on “Lawyer’s Row”, this old Marietta, Georgia home is known as The Schilling House. It was built in 1887 for German immigrant Frederick E. A. Schilling and his wife Amanda. Washington established the Schilling Hardware Company. A directory from 1910 advertised “the goods his company carried including hardware, stoves, house furnishings, sheet metal work, plumbing, tinning, and fire brick.” Schilling planted chestnut, pecan, apple, and peach orchards, as well as red and black raspberry bushes at his residence.
In the mid-1930s, the home was sold and became a boarding house for 35 years. There’s evidence of that to this day as the 3rd story still has the room numbers! The home was later sold to Jordan Prosser who did extensive restoration work and made it a private home once again.
It was the location of a design business for the last 25 years and was recently for sale, but appears to be off the market now.
