More houses named after the McClures...

Historic House Listings on FB

 It is located on .69 acres in Clear Brook, Virginia. The house definitely needs work. The house features double porches, heart pine floors and some plaster walls. There is an old smokehouse on the property. Work was started on the home. Two bedrooms, one bathroom and 1,128 square feet

Before and after

-------------


The Georgia Trust for Historic preservation site on FB gives this:

We love a great before and after! The Merritt-Long House in Macon was built around 1894, and the house was slated for demolition in the early 2000s. The Historic Macon Foundation (HMF) stepped in and rehabilitated this Beall's Hill property! Having been vacant for decades, the house and its considerable size made the project the largest by HMF to date. The rehabilitation work included the front porch, which was designed based on the original footprint evidenced on a historic Sanborn map, opening up the hallway which had been divided into separate rooms and maintaining the historic wood flooring whenever possible. This property won a 2017 Georgia Trust Excellence in Rehabilitation Award.

I’m off to the doctor this morning to hopefully get answers to my frequent migraines that have been almost daily for the last month.
