If Walls Could Talk
Homes are structures that hold stories, they hold dreams, they hold memories. This old home near my house in Lexington Kentucky has its own story to tell. The old cliche, “if walls could talk,” came to mind as my husband and I explored the property. Snapping photos of the broken windows, peeling paint, and overgrown weeds. When first walking up the old driveway it looked like a house from a movie scene. A haunted mansion or an old southern farm house. Indeed the house was a farm house, on the property lies a sturdy old barn with multiple horse stables. Below you will find photos of the old house in its current state. It saddens me to see this house once filled with laughter, entertaining, and memories, now falling apart and deteriorating slowly.
After doing some research Steven and I discovered that the house was first built in 1911. It is just over 4,000 sq. ft. Below you will find a photo of the house in its prime.
We could not find information on the family who originally built and owned the house.
The future of this house is a grim one. It will be demolished in preparation of a new road which will go straight threw the property. I would love to know the history of this old place if anyone has information please share!
