Beath-Dickey House, Victorian house in Inman Park, United States
The Beath-Dickey House on Euclid Avenue is a Queen Anne Victorian dwelling featuring Italian marble columns and eight fireplaces throughout its rooms. The structure was later divided into four rental units before being restored back to a single-family home.
Built in 1890 by John Beath, an ice supplier, the house later became home to the Dickey family during a long period of neighborhood decline. A turning point came when new owners chose to restore the building to its original condition.
The house is known by the surnames of two families: ice merchant John M. Beath, who had it built in 1890, and John R. Dickey of the Guarantee Trust and Banking Company, who lived there in the 1910s and 1920s, when it was numbered 38 Euclid Avenue. Dickey was a Mason and his wife was active in the Baptist Woman's Missionary Union. Legend says British-born Beath built the house to bring his Boston fiancée to Atlanta, but she never married him.
Located in the Inman Park neighborhood, the house retains its original hardwood floors while kitchens and bathrooms have been updated for modern living. Visitors can observe the balance between preserved architectural details and contemporary improvements.
The house appears in the AIA Guide to the Architecture of Atlanta and in Elle Decor in 2003. In 2019 it served as Regina's house, played by Christine Baranski, in Dolly Parton's Christmas on the Square.
