Well, the beauty of historical homes is just that...History! We were recently removing a section of drywall in a downstairs room and as we carefully demo'd sections of the wall, we discovered a painting. It was a house painted directly onto the wall. Such a giant canvas to paint a country setting and a large, older home. As we've mentioned before, this home had been in the Alvin C. York family at some point (we believe his son or grandson owned it).
After a little research, we come to find that the house in the painting is the actual home of Alvin himself. There is no signature or suggestion of whom may have painted the house, but just another little treasure from the past. Here's the painting and a separate photograph of the home.
