😮I had never heard of this house til now, and I've lived here most of my life. Makes me wonder what other hidden historical gems are lurking around the back roads of old Princess Anne County! Thanks for bringing this one to light!
Hi Chris. As soon as I saw that tree, I knew it was a Live Oak. Looking out my front door at some right now, but we do have Spanish Moss on ours here in New Orleans. By the way, the old sewing machine is probably a lot older than the 1940s. It looks very similar to the one I have that belonged to my grandmother. It was manufactured in the 1920s. Keep up the good work...always enjoy going along with you to these great historic locations!
This is very similar to the Hanover House in Clemson, SC especially the side with chimney ; the interior is similar too. I tried to attach photos but I cant ; Sure you can find some on the internet. That house is 1716; an old stone church 1802 is not far from it as well. You would really enjoy Charleston, SC .
LOL!!! This attraction is literally open only nine hours per week. I like the style of the house and property though. By the way, Quercus virginiana is the botanical name for the southern live oak, and they are found in a thin strip along the coast from Louisiana all the way up to Virginia.
There used to be a lot of frame houses in this area built like this for tax purposes. When the roof came down,the floor was not taxed. I supposed they are torn down now, I don’t know.
Can you produce a video on the amazing but tragic Ajacan story? I wrote an article about it for a local online newspaper. My late father and I used to golf where the current dig is located.
Spanish Moss all over First Landing State Park and other areas- Massive Live Oaks around- Va Beach calls itself the Live Oak City- this corner of VA has a Deep South climate
Saltbox style refers to the roof line at back of houses...they were usually a colonial but added on at the back making a sloped roof.

You’re welcome! It takes some digging but there are lots of them out there!
Live Oaks are all over the place in the Tidewater.

Yea, Louisiana is ground zero for Live Oaks. lol Thanks for watching!
Very unusual house! Thanks!!
This house reminds me of the Baldwin sister house in the Walton's. Just a smaller version.

Thank you sharing- Love the video
Thanks!
Awesome.
I guess I'm never going to get to see that Presbyterian Church in Fredericksburg with the cannonballs in the columns
Oh yeah I meant to go there!
@@VATravels I hope you still do thanks
Never heard of this one either. Looks like a house I’d expect to see in the Phillie suburbs, haha
Yeah it doesn’t look like your usual Virginia colonial house lol
@@VATravels looks Northern

OK cool, didn’t realize they found where the actual site was. Will definitely look into it. 👍
@@VATravelsGreat! If you wish, I can post the free link here to my article in The Bulletin Post.
Color of paint on the woodwork on the first floor!?
