Our Victorian Home’s History
Historic Location
Turn of the Century Bed and Breakfast was originally built in 1905 as a private residence. The Heilig-Dees home was then one of the finest examples of late Victorian architecture in the West Square National Register Historic district, here in Salisbury, North Carolina.
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 1890’s Victorian in the National Register Historic District, located in Madison, Georgia.
The restoration of the Heilig-Dees house has won critical praise from the preservation community, the city of Salisbury, and, of course, our many pampered guests. The Salisbury Community Appearance Commission recognized Karen for her contributions to the city by honoring Turn of the Century with the 1998-99 Building Restoration Award. The property is also the proud recipient of a 2001 Carraway Award from Preservation North Carolina for “outstanding achievement in the field of historic preservation in the State of North Carolina.”
