112 Hinkle Hill Street
This old Bell Buckle home sits just about spittin’ distance from the railroad tracks. Trains have been click-clacking by since the day this home was built. It’s seen a lot in it’s day next to the tracks. While I’m not sure of the exact build date of the home, my guess would be between 1898…

Oakhurst – Murfreesboro, TN
An old house you may not notice in Murfreesboro is this beautiful Italianate called “Oakhurst”. It’s located on Cherry Lane and hidden behind big, beautiful trees and “newer” homes that make it harder to see than it once was. In fact, this area used to be considered country and this was the eastern-most structure. This…

Butchertown Shotgun House
Here’s a little shotgun house in the shade. It’s located in the Butchertown neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky. Built sometime between 1875 and 1899. Washington Street is lined up and down with shotgun houses like this one. I think they’re so cool! Why is it called a shotgun house? Well, they are characteristically long and narrow,…

The Jessee House – Bowling Green
I shared this one last year sometime, but I’ve got some old pictures of it to share with you today. Check out the older pictures of this home. Not sure of the year they were taken. The 1877 map of Bowling Green shows a residence on this lot, but it’s not the same one that…

Hatcher-Groover-Shwartz House
I’m an absolute sucker for a Second Empire! We don’t have many in my area so I get excited to find them “in the wild”. They don’t seem to have many in Macon, Georgia either. In fact, this is the only one! Marshall James Hatcher built this home in 1880 on Georgia Avenue. The basement…

The Gibson House – Harriman, TN
Have you ever seen one like this? This was a first for me! This old house, in Harriman, Tennessee, was built in 1892 for David Gibson. Gibson was the founder of Gibson Agricultural Works (farm implements). His home was described as “unique in its architectural design with a rounded front of general design and very…

The Whitman Mansion – Savannah
It’s been a while since I laid eyes on the Whitman Mansion. It was just as beautiful as I remember! This row of homes is always an impressive sight to take in. Built in 1895, this Queen Anne Victorian underwent major restorations in recent years and was awarded the Historic Savannah Foundation Award for excellence…

Louisiana Avenue House – Nola
A Louisiana Avenue looker! I couldn’t find a build date for this beauty, but she’s full of that old house character. It sold back in 2020 for $570k and I snagged a couple of the real estate pictures so you could see inside a bit. I adore that fireplace!
