FEBRUARY/MARCH 2013 MACON MAGAZINE I 61
A painting of William Fickling hangs
prominently over the couch in the den
that remains just as it was when the elder
Fickling and his wife lived there.
The dining room, too, retains much of its historic flavor with the original dining
table. It had been stored for a time when Bill was not entertaining before he
remarried. The same is true with the chandelier that had been used for years and is
now back in working order to finish the room.
Even when it's not cherry blossom season,
the Ficklings display the famous blossoms as
part of the decor in the dining room and in
wallpaper in a downstairs guest bath.
The rich wood and judge's paneling in the front entry add to the traditional, elegant
feel of the home.
