Before & After:

Originally called Hollywood plantation, the house is also known as The Baby Doll House from the title of a movie filmed there in the 1950s.

Shorn of its porches, this house had lost much of its architectural character. Recreation of its missing features based on historic documentation has restored that character to the house.

Note the second story door. Apparently a second level was originally planned for the porch but never constructed, leaving this "door to nowhere." It is suspected the construction was interrupted by the Civil War and this element never completed.

Long recognized as symbols of Southern culture, the historic houses of the antebellum south are also monuments to the fine craftsmanship and labor of the often-enslaved carpenters who built them and the other enslaved people whose labor paid for these beautiful buildings.

Substantial research has documented the skilled labor of enslaved craftsmen working in building construction in the American south in recent years. Colonial Williamsburg, Monticello, and Poplar Forest in Virginia have been leaders in recognizing this important chapter of our nations history.
