Tom and Jada Lawson are two old house lovers who spent several years looking for the perfect home that needed them just as much as they needed it. After a long search and several deals that fell through, they were fortunate enough to become the third owners of this 1915 Colonial Revival. The house needs a lot of TLC, but still has most of its original features intact and is a very solid example of early 20th century craftsmanship. They are doing all the work themselves, which they are documenting in their website

Ever since I was old enough to want a house I always wanted an old Victorian house, “a house with a personality, not a big vinyl box like this,” I used to always tell my poor father. I am only a young (25 years old) carpenter, who now builds a lot of those vinyl boxes. Unfortunately, the cash flow to do a major restoration immediately was/is quite limited (trying run a to business and pour time and money into houses puts a lot of financial pressure on you). So I went a little outside the box. Wayne’s photos >>>>>
My wife and I were doing some web surfing and ended up at your website. Your story is so inspiring and a bit similar to our situation. We purchased our dream home about half a year ago. It is an 1890 Queen Ann Victorian home and absolutely gorgeous. No, our new home is by far not in bad a shape as your home was when you purchased it, but there are some things that we would like to restore. Andre & Bobbi’s photos >>>>>
Ronnie’s story begins when her parents were married in an American “Castle”. This was back in 1942 — in Cincinnati — and, over the years, Ronnie heard plenty about it but nobody, including her parents, could tell her where the castle was.
