Didn't want to hijack Larry's thread; I hate to see these old houses go; this'n is about a half mile from me and sits on an old lane several hundred yards from the county road. It was built in the 1870s by a war of northern agression veteran who moved here (West TN) from VA in 1873. Married the daughter of a family who owned the farm and they built the house; raised 5 boys and 2 girls in it; they were all born in the 19th century. The boys were quite prominent when grown; one was a minister, one a banker, 2 owned a general store; not sure about the other. The step-son of the last of the sons now owns it......about 100 acres. The house was occupied 'til sometime in the 1970s and I rented the farm for a long time before I retired. The house is of post-and-beam construction and the owner would probably give it to me if I'd move/restore it. Might've done it 20 years ago, but I'm too old and tired. Went down there last Summer and took some pictures; water's getting inside and it's just a matter of time..........
