This is the first installment of the Graveyard House make over! This house was first build in 1793 (so I am told) as you can see it was gutted for renovation by the previous owner. This creates a blank slate for me and Howard (my Biz Partner) to make it any way I chose! In this series I will be tackling all the challenges it takes to rebuild this old house! Thank You and enjoy the ride!!!
love and respect!

Jimmy I don’t think they moved the house, they just dug the basement later on when they added water and sewer and heat they needed space underneath the house to work. They stayed away from the outside of the foundation so they didn’t under mine the original foundation. Being a stone mason and restoring a bunch of old structures I have seen hundreds of houses done that way . Thanks for sharing

Its really too bad that the previous owner cut down all those old trees. Some of them were probably as old as the original house. It's also worth noting that the trees surroundiung a house on a farm style propoerty are there for wind breaks to diminish the effect of high winds during heavy storms and winter months. Now that property is effectively unprotected. @Jimmy, I hope you have an opportunity to plant some new established trees around this house.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. I often say that a renovation is far more challenging than a new construction because as an owner you are divided between te desire to keep what is old and the obligation to keep your building standing. Laura knows something about it from what I’ve seen. I hope that Jimmy will find a nice name for this property and that he will not have any bad surprises (in French we say "falling on a bone" which seems perfectly appropriate in this case).

With all that land you should consider doing some flower rows! For our farm we till up a good 3 rows about 20 feet long and plant native wildflowers in them. They help a ton with the local fauna for both bugs and birds! Plus it's really pretty and nice to setup a lawn chair and enjoy the sun amongst a sea of flowers too.

My mother returned from a european vacation in the early 70's with a raft of brass gravestone rubbings. I'm pretty sure this practice has been stopped due to the amount of wear a steady stream of tourist would cause on gravestones, but in the case of your graveyard it might be something to consider to bring the beauty and historic significance to light. Potentially stunning wall art.

I grew up a half mile from this place on Susquehanna turnpike just across from Mansard Ave where Teator Rd leads to. As kids we use to ride bikes over by there to go swimming at Browns hole. Myself and all of my friends were always so interested in the graveyard but we never went into it. I remember last year watching the previous owner clearing trees and burning brush almost every day on my way to a few jobs I had in Preston Hollow.
