We bought a piece of History!


We have purchased a piece of history dating back to 1890. The home sits on a little under an acre of land and was built completely of cypress. The house was built by the Hanson Lumber Company as one of the first employee homes in the subdivision. The subdivision once had its own school, church, and park. Today most of the history has been erased. But our house stands as one of the true symbols of the past. I am currently working to register our oak tree in the National Tree Preservation society. It has a circumference of over 18 feet.
So far we have replaced all the rotten foundation and constructed a new front porch. I will add those photos as soon as the porch is complete.
