Title: The south won't rise again
Post by deltadarlin on Aug 8th, 2008 at 8:12am
I found this house while looking for another house.  Didn't realize it had been abandoned until I got fairly close.  This *was* an antebellum home, but, as you can see, it has been vandalized (a doctor had bought it and planned to renovate it, and then someone stole his scaffolding and other work items, so he abandoned the house).

This is a monument in the park behind St. Mary's Basilica.  It is a tribute to each of the armed forces.  There are 5 sides, Marines, Navy, AIr Force, Coast Guard and the Army.

WOW!!!  I wish I could find a house like that in my area!  I would LOVE to restore it!

What a beautiful structure!  It is just waiting for loving care.  Such  shame to see a building like that just sitting and rotting away.

I'll have to show this to EJ.  She'll be interested in seeing it.  

Great photos.

:)

Best,

George

Sorry for my ignorance.....but what is an antebellum house?

I love that house.  Imagine that second story veranda off of the master suite.............on a chilly, foggy morning with some hot coffee.

Try dictionary.com, my friend:

That is a beautiful house.  Quite a nostalgic air to it!
