Old Hollow Lane, Boones Mill
We happened to be driving by one day so we turned up Old Hollow Lane to see the home. In the top picture is what it looks like today, the bottom photo shows what it looked like back in 1995 when it was donated. I don't know if it is open for tours yet. There was a truck out front but the house was closed up and it looked like somebody lives there when we looked in the window as there was a dog running around inside.

wow! great restoration effort!
ReplyDeleteIt look like new!
ReplyDeleteI even am impressed with the name, of course it seems the word Hollow always catches my eye in a happy way. As is this most beautiful make-over! Wow, what a lovely transformation!
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful restoration! I love it when old buildings like that are restored
ReplyDeleteThey really did a great job!

I'm so glad the house was donated and is being restored! Wonderful piece of history!
ReplyDeleteSuper that someone had the finance and desire to restore this place. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteWindows look quite different.
ReplyDeleteFascinating guy - a clever and brave man of principle. It's good to see places like this rescued and restored.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got a photo, I have not been there, it looks a lot like our house and probably has a log house under the siding if it is like ours. Jubal never surrendered and was a hard man to deal with at times.
ReplyDeleteWow! Somebody did a fantastic job on that!
ReplyDeleteOld Jubal was quite a character, from all I've read of him.
ReplyDeleteI like the restoration!
That is my kind of house!
ReplyDeleteNice comparison of the before and after, Tanya.
ReplyDeleteNice looking home.
ReplyDeleteNow that IS, an improvement!
ReplyDeleteI'm always so pleased to some an old building that has been restored, especially if I had seen it in the before.
ReplyDeleteThere sure has been a lot of work done on the place in the last 20 years!!! It would be interesting to see the inside!
ReplyDeleteNeat, nice to see this! Old Jubal was kind of unpopular at this time of year 150 years ago. Many Confederates blamed him for losing the valley to Sheridan.
