Dr. W. C. Paschal House, Circa 1875, Dawson
One of the grandest in Dawson, this home was built in a much simpler style for Dr. W. C. Paschal, a Confederate veteran. Dr. Paschal commissioned F. A. Ruggles to re-imagine it as an elaborate Queen Anne in the 1890s. It was sold by the Paschal family to the Edwards family in 1936. It was subdivided into apartments in the following years. Thankfully, Gail and Paul Rakel purchased it in 1988 and spent years restoring it to its original condition.

Saville-Wooten-Lee-Giovingo House, 1890, Dawson
Built for Bob Saville, this Neoclassical landmark has been home to several families over the years. It was completely restored by the Giovingo family beginning in 1989.
I’ve also been told that this was the childhood home of Wayland Flowers, but haven’t been able to confirm; if not here, it was another house opposite the Baptist church. If anyone knows, please reach out.
