Our Charlotte, NC Office

G. G. Galloway House, completed in 1915, is the only surviving structure in what was once an imposing residential district on the western end of East Morehead Street in Dilworth, Charlotte’s first streetcar suburb. The house was designed by William H. Peeps and includes a Bungalow style architecture with English Tudor motifs.

G. G. Galloway House was recently saved from the wrecking ball to be restored to its original elegance and character.
