The Sturdivant - Jones House was built in 1916 by W. H. Oliver, a Dadeville merchant who owned a dry goods business. It was the first house in Dadeville built of brick; exterior walls are composed of double walled brick with soldier courses every 16” that connect the two walls together. Designed in the classical revivalist architecture tradition, the house has 12 foot high ceilings; heart pine floors; classical styling with Corinthian columns on the front porch as well as Ionic columns framing the entry of the interior parlor; pocket doors to the library; and double hung windows that have narrow vertical muntins with intersecting Y's in the top sash.

In January of 1920, Raymond Sturdivant purchased the home from W. H. Oliver. Sturdivant was a veteran of the Great War, (son of Thomas Sturdivant, founder of Sturdivant Bank) and a newlywed, having married Henrietta Freeman in Birmingham on Christmas Eve, 1919. Raymond Sturdivant owned the cotton warehouse in downtown Dadeville. For the following 15 years, the house was referred to as the Raymond Sturdivant house.

In September of 1935, Edith Young Jones, wife of Thomas Kent Jones and daughter of B. Louis Young, bought the brick house. It is remarkable, because in 1935 women did not normally purchase property. Kent Jones ran several businesses in Dadeville over the years including the Ritz Theatre on the square, at the corner of Tallassee St. and Columbus St. He was elected mayor of Dadeville and served three terms as mayor.

After the death of Edith Young Jones, her family sold the house to Jeff and Barbara Cole. Jeff Cole had retired as a school principal after a career in education in Georgia, but he had grown up in Dadeville, and Barbara grew up at Martin Dam, as her father was the first superintendent of the dam. Barbara was a master gardener and put a lot of love and unique additions into the flora and grounds of the property.

In September of 2023, Kim and Chuck Ledbetter bought the brick house from Barbara Cole. Their architect daughter Page Ledbetter and Dadeville builder Jeff Rice helped bring to fruition their vision to remodel the home and add a second story while honoring the home's many beautiful existing components and its hundred year old history. The Ledbetters enjoy serving as caretakers of this unique, historic property.
