I inspected this house back in 2009. You could tell that at one time it was a stately reminder of grace and beauty that was a joy to behold. At the time of the inspection the problems in and under the house were daunting. I assumed it would fall in on itself from neglect. In April of 2010 I was called to inspect the same house again but this time the buyer had a spark in her eyes when she looked at this elegant lady. She had vision! As I left the inspection that day (it still had the same problems) I looked up at the top of the columns and saw (in my mind) a bit of the former grandeur of this beauty. This painting represents my feeling of that morning. The house, by the way, is even now being totally restored.
