So, where is Cartersville and what is there to do there besides tour this home?
Cartersville is a dynamic city located just north of Atlanta. Established in 1850, the city has a significant amount of history. Read more about Cartersville!
An interesting fact is that Cartersville is where the World's first Coca Cola sign was painted on a wall. It was painted by a syrup salesman in 1894 on the side of the Young Brothers Pharmacy, the sign was restored and authenticated in 1994. Young Brothers Pharmacy carried a variety of Coke memorabilia and collectibles and is located in the heart of downtown Cartersville.
When you visit the show house please notice the original art in the gentleman's bath that we designed. It is that of the painted Coca Cola sign at Young Brothers Pharmacy in Downtown Cartersville painted by Dirk Walker through dk Gallery.
