Both the Strickland House and the McGuire house above were constructed on the former garden lots of Dr. Marius H. Van Dyke, whose homestead on Warwick Street has not survived. Mr. E. W. Strickland who built the Strickland House, made his home there until his death, after which the property was sold in 1911 to "Dennis M. Grizzle. This house has been the home of several prominent citizens over the years, including in more recent times, Jessie L. Garner, the first woman Mayor of Dahlonega. The house has been converted to office use and currently houses several businesses.
