Our History...
Built in 1905 as a private residence, the Heilig-Dees home was one of the finest examples of late Victorian architecture in this part of the West Square National Register Historic District.
The home was purchased in December of 1997 by Karen Windate of Atlanta and underwent a painstaking two-year historic restoration. This is the second home that Karen has lovingly restored to its original splendor, the first being an 1890s Victorian in the National Register Historic District located in Madison, GA.
The current restoration of the Heilig Dees home has won critical praise by historic preservation community, the City of Salisbury and Turn of the Century's pampered guests.
In January of 2000, the Salisbury Community Appearance Commission recognized Karen for her contributions to the City by honoring Turn of the Century as the 1998-99 Building Restoration Award winner.
Inside the Inn...
Guests are invited through a magnificent leaded beveled glass entry featuring copper wheel engraved double-doors into an inviting foyer and parlor furnished with period antiques.
The parlor, with its inviting fireplace, complete with the original marble mantelpiece, offers a charming place for guests to relax and visit.
All guests are invited to enjoy the first floor parlor and the second floor sitting area (pictured left), with television, books and board games.
Your stay includes a full gourmet breakfast elegantly served in our large formal dining room; we invite you to relax and enjoy your coffee or tea on our lovely wrap-around porch.
Complimentary High Speed Wireless internet access is available throughout the inn.
The elegantly restored, circa 1905 historic home, offers three guest rooms each with private baths and an exceptional two room suite, consisting of a large bedroom, private bath and private sitting room/office.
The three bedrooms and two-room suite are on the second level, reached by ascending the completely hand-rebuilt stairway, architecturally designed and created to match the style and grace that are prevalent throughout the home.
Whether for a romantic getaway, a comfortable business trip or a memorable stay while attending some of the many wonderful events in and around Salisbury...
