Weir Home at Gastonburg, AL (built 1880s)

| Gastonburg in Wilcox County  

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

This Queen Anne style farmhouse, circa 1880’s, was built by the ancestors of the current owners, Jim and Karen Weir. The roof is now sheet metal and a new addition is blended onto the back but otherwise the exterior is original. The interior has been freshened but still retains most of the original design elements. The “new” garage was designed after carriage house plans that were found in a book in the attic, and incorporates some original windows and shutters. This house was on the HGTV show “If Walls Could Talk” as a result of various things that were found in the attic.

This home is located at Gastonburg, AL in Wilcox County (GPS coordinates: N32.209611,W87.438222).
