We have finished our first project in Social Circle, Georiga. This labor of love was how I fell in love with historic homes all over again. Like many home lovers, I love older homes because of their unique qualities and details. The W.H. Stanton House embodies both. When we purchased this home in October 2014 it had sat empty for 5 years due to foreclosure. The paint was peeling, mantles had been stolen and most of the historic beauty was hidden under former trends. Above is my favorite view of the house, walking up Highlighter Trail. In the following blog posts I will walk you through and share the renovation secrets and hidden treasures that we discovered along the way.
This front elevation used to look like a farmhouse before the column salesman came to Social Circle. The porch roof was under the balcony and met up with the side porch roof.
We painted all the porch ceilings Haint Blue.
Early morning a few days after closing, I was waiting for the locksmith and took some beautiful shots of the grounds before the leaves turned.
Here's Poplar Ave. that runs next to the property. The original lot ran all along this road covering 2.5 acres in the heart of the National Historic Registered district.
Next time we'll step inside and see the entry hall, office, living room and dining room. They feature Brass and crystal chandeliers, judges paneling and an intricate inlaid wood floor design.
