A tricky bit of carpentry

One thing that catches my eye is how the 4 large, square pillars become more narrow at the top, giving an illusion of greater height. Here's a view from the 2nd floor.

For Sale

This house is for sale, as it happens. The price was reduced last month to $175,000. Lovely photos of the interior here:

Fascinating to compare room by room with the 1935 photos linked by jtkirkland.

Cat On a Hot Tin Roof

Big Daddy may not have made his move on this place yet in 1939, but it looks like they might still be able to stage a garden party at the house now. Once someone gets out a coat or paint or two on the circa 1845 family manse. Near Orion, Alabama.
