The Converse–Dalton House, also known as the Converse Dalton Ferrell House, is a historic residence in Valdosta, Georgia, in the United States. It was built in 1902 for Thomas Briggs Converse Sr., his wife, and their thirteen children.[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 28, 1983.

Converse–Dalton House

It is a three-story house with a monumental two-story portico that wraps around with curving corners.[3]

The house was designed by architect Stephen F. Fulgham (1857-1928), who also designed the Converse-Girardin Building, at 121-123 North Patterson, and other buildings in the Valdosta Commercial Historic District.

It was deemed significant for its architecture and for its association with its owner, Thomas Briggs Converse Sr. (1854-1932).[3]
