This historic old house was built in the late 1800’s around 1870-1880 for a modestly wealthy family who moved south after the civil war and made a small fortune from sharecropping. Buying up large amounts of land for cheap prices and then building this house in town. Mostly they farmed cotton and tobacco. The house features some beautiful Victorian details like the incredible staircase when you walk inside and the stunning hand carved fireplace mantles. Sadly the town’s wealth dipped in the early 1900’s and never fully recovered after the Great Depression, as many people were moving away from small cities and farming in search of better pay and better opportunities in a large city. The house was purchased by new owners who lived in the house until they passed away with no remaining family in the early 2000’s. Very sad but cool place. Thank you for watching!
