This specimen is in a sad condition. The Corinthian columns are decaying at their bases. The side protocol is caving in under it own weight. The front balcony is infested with honey bees (they were swarming around the broken boards).
We peeked into the windows. There is indications of someone working on the old place. The floor are clean. The inside is clear of any real damage. The stairs (both the front and rear) appeared to be in decent condition, no warping or missing treads. The kitchen is void of any evidence of any meal ever being prepared. It is like the old girl is being prepared for a grand ball some time in the distant furture.
It is going to take a lot of work and money to redress this Southern Lady!
I can't help but wonder... What kind of homes would have been the norm if the War of Northern Aggressions had turn out differently?
