You’ve just inherited your family’s old homeplace, but not the money to restore it. The boards are weathered. The windows are tired. The chimney is failing, the paint is gone, and a cold draft slips through every room. The repair list grows longer each time you walk inside. Do you fight to save what remains, or carefully salvage its pieces so the story can live on somewhere new? What would you do with it? 📍Tennessee | The Forgotten South

This North Carolina plantation house was first built in the 1830s and enlarged in the 1850s. After nearly two centuries, it’s endured fire from a lightning strike, roof leaks, and years of neglect. But still inside today are haunting traces of its past- including that old harpsichord. Does anyone know how old it might be? | The Forgotten South

It's sad to see an old house rot away like this, but if you peek inside, you can still see the remnants of what used to be someone's dream home. I wonder what they'd think of it now. 📍Virginia | The Forgotten South

This massive Tennessee farmhouse started out as a log cabin that was built in the 1840s. As it was expanded over time, the owners added embellishments to the facade and much of the materials used for the expansion were ordered from a Sears catalog in the early 1900s. | The Forgotten South

This house was built during the citrus boom of the 1880s, when North Florida was full of hopeful growers planting groves across the region. But a devastating freeze struck that same decade, wiping out most of the crops and forcing many farmers to head farther south to start over near Orlando, where Florida’s citrus industry still thrives today. Homes like this are rare in Florida now, so I’m grateful that this one still stands. It offers a glimpse into a very different era and what life here onc

Built in the late 1800s, this place was home to Florida cattle and citrus farmers. Unfortunately, historic homes like this one are becoming more difficult to find in Florida, and judging by her current condition, I fear that this one will be gone soon, too. | The Forgotten South
