The Smyre-Pasour House – UNDER CONTRACT

Perfectly situated in between Gastonia and Charlotte, this property is ideal for an adaptive re-use office space or residence that provides the elusive combination of urban feel with small town charm! Part of the Dallas Historic District–it’s also eligible for historic tax credits!

Architectural and Historical Information

Built ca. 1847, the Smyre-Pasour House is one of the few remaining 1840s era Greek Revival-style houses in Gaston County. The house and well house are contributing structures in the Dallas National Register Historic District and are eligible for state and federal historic rehabilitation tax credits.

Set flush with the street and facing the former Gaston County Courthouse in the heart the Court Square, the yard is ample enough for sensitively designed parking. Extensive stabilization work is being completed, which will allow for easier rehabilitation and adaptive re-use. The house would make a great retail or office space, or a fine residence for those looking for an urban feel within the charm of a small southern town. The 1973 National Register nomination describes the Dallas Historic District and Court Square as having “a quiet grouping of well-preserved commercial and residential structures around the shaded courthouse square…an idyllic small-town atmosphere recalling the slower pace of the late nineteenth century.”

The one-story, five-bay frame house built in vernacular Greek-Revival style has a three-bay wide addition to the north side with identical finish. The eaves are boxed, and at either end of the original block is a brick exterior end chimney. The addition stretches the façade to an eight-bay width and gives the impression of row-housing, a unique characteristic in a small southern town.

Area Information

Dallas is experiencing a boom and the Symre-Pasour House is located in the heart of the Court Square, within easy walking distance of the Gaston County Museum (the former county court house has been transformed into a first class museum). Dallas is well situated with an easy drive to Gastonia, just minutes away from Highway 321 and less than 30 minutes from Charlotte.
