That looks like one of those Honorbilt homes from the Sears catalogue. Was just recently browsing the options and I believe this was an option if not very similar to it

[@ChasingHistory]

That house resembles a painted lady in my town. The one here has been maintained quite well.

[@ChasingHistory]

it was designed by the architect who created the Victorian "Kit" homes you could order! be sure to watch the full episode we just dropped where we discuss the history of the home!

Don't move there. High taxes .High food prices. Not the southern city you would imagine 😮

[@ChasingHistory]

[@77ZUUS]

don't forget slavery

[@ChasingHistory]

in episodes where that history is important to discuss we always discuss this. in this episode this house dates to the 1880's after slavery was abolished. the Jim Crow system was being created and as far as we could tell there was no opportunity to discuss that subject int he context of this episode so we did not. but be sure to check out our other episodes where the subject is discussed
