  • 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!

    Kappy, that cat was staring at you like that because he could tell, somehow, in the way animals can, that you are an animal lover. How sweet of you to plan on buying cat food. And that house was palatial! What a front porch! I want to go there, now.

    What a beautiful pad. It breaks my heart seeing these old homes falling into disrepair. I'm actually surprised it has as many belongings in it, as it does. And the windows and staircases are still in one piece. Thankfully, the disgusting vandals and thieves have yet to take their anger and thievery out on it. I used to have a waterbed frame just like the one upstairs. They still sell waterbeds and they are really comfortable when you're younger. That is a good solid home to hold the weight of a queen size waterbed on the 2nd floor. Thanks, Kappy, for sharing these awesome pads with us. And for just being a kool dude. I think you were born many years too late. You would have fit right in in the Hippy era. Thanks for caring about the birds and animals you come across on your exploring ventures. :) You rock!!

    Places like this can never be replaced if I had the funds I would love to restore and live in such a beautiful home.

    I wonder how many families lived there in all the years it has been there. That house has been there a long time obviously. Thank you, Kappy, for the tour. 😎👍
