Back when this place was built, they had parlors that were seldom used except for entertaining company. More than likely that's what the downstairs bathroom used to be, before the 'modern' for that time water closet was just too irresistible! The busy road was likely just a dusty wagon/horse trail when this was built, and probably went in two directions, away from home and back home. In the evening I could've been found reading by oil lamp on the upstairs porch, lemonade at my side and savoring the scent of Magnolia blossoms in the night air, while the Cicadas sang their hot weather song... Yep, I was born 150 years too late, much thanks Kappy!

The clapboard walls (I think) look as though they were only painted once or twice. Amazing find! Thanks for showing us this beautiful old house. The 3 hearth fireplace is really unique and interesting. There was no dedicated kitchen either, must have had a separate summer kitchen at some time. I love the old houses with the sleeping porches. We still have some old house around here that have them. Old houses have character and heart.

This home made me want to cry 😰 It was such a beautiful property once upon a time!!! Sooo very sad that it had been allowed to deteriorate to the destroyed level that it is in today 😢 obviously the upstairs bathroom was not an original, as all of the windows in that room would not allow for any privacy!!! Sooo very sad that the owners of the land were not able to preserve this amazing original property & modernize, update & renovate it to it’s original glory!!! The porches, fireplaces, wooden covered walls, were amazing & sooo very sad that they couldn’t be preserved 😔 The farm store could have been saved & restored as a garage, guest quarters or man cave👍 The tree’s were gorgeous!!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful adventure with us Kappy!

Since there are no fireplaces, the rooms to the right of the staircase and the second story were probably an addition, most likely in the late 1800’s or early 1900’s as there are closets in each bedroom. This would explain the fireplace in the first floor hallway.

The type of wood walls inside is called "tongue and grove" which was common interior finishing for homes of that time era. Did not need a lot of insulation behind it because no gaps. Lower lop of one narrow slat fit up into a groove on the lower edge of the slat to go above. In other words, each slat had a slotted top and a grooved bottom. Some were erected vertically instead of horrizontally.
