Julia at Hooked on Houses is hosting a Hooked on House Tours Blog Party, which she describes as "one big, giant Fantasy Open House tour around the blogosphere!" Be sure to stop by Julia's to see links to all the blogs who are posting great home tours.
I'm a member of The Georgia Trust and twice a year (Spring and Fall) they host a "Ramble." A ramble is just that...rambling around through the town where the tour is being held and rambling in and out of some amazing historic homes.
The ramble, which took place a couple of weeks ago, was in the town of Newnan, Georgia. Fortunately, Newnan was largely untouched by the American Civil War due to its status as a hospital city (for Confederate troops), and as a result is still home to much antebellum architecture. For this reason, Newnan is known as "The City of Homes." We saw some gorgeous historic homes on the tour.
The following pics were all taken of the beautiful Victorian home you see below. I believe this home is designed in the Second Empire (Mansard) style. I just discovered today (Saturday) that this home is also, for sale for $1,490,000. You can see the real estate listing here. I've posted a few of the pics shown in the listing...they are noted with an asterisk. Most of the pictures below were taken the day of the tour. Enjoy! :-)
Amazing ceiling in the entrance hall...
Some of the doorways had amazing drapery/hangings!
Gorgeous stain glass work on the landing going to the upstairs...
Look at that woodwork!

Great porch on one side of the house...
I don't know what these railings look like to you...but they look just like a sitting kitty cat to me...I love this!!!

Hope you enjoyed this blast from the past. :-) See you tonight for Met Monday!
