 Sharon Jeter, owner of Sharon House Antiques, is located in two buildings, in the Bon Air Hotel, that have quite a bit of history.  Ironically, in 1869 a hotel called "The Sharon House" was located exactly where Sharon Jeter's antique store is today.  Its builder was John Sharon, who came to Bainbridge after the War Between the States.  The structure, containing from 35 to 40 rooms, replaced a wooden building located on the north side of the square, possibly the Oakland Hotel.  The Sharon House was popular as a stagecoach stop back in the day.  The Sharon occupied a prominent place in the civic and social life of the community and even opened its parlors to the Episcopalians for services until their church was built.

In 1901 the Sharon was almost completely torn down and replaced by the Bon Air Hotel, a brick structure of 53 guest rooms and five store rooms on the first floor.
