There is a giant overgrown holly bush in the "front yard", with those dark spiny green leaves and round red berries. Now the front yard is actually the woods, but many other yard plants survive, such as irises, cherokee roses and chinaball trees. In early March, the whole place is covered in purple wisteria and the big bees hum in swarms.
The house has a red chimney and porch and trim, as well as old green tar paper covering the outside. Most of the doors and a few interior rooms are a sea foam green, and the wall paper that survives is white with green and red flowers.
I found a couple of old marbles under the porch, as well as an old leather shoe and a modern-ish belt. I also located the bottle dump in the back and found three beautiful small bottles, and one shaped like a grenade, so I didn't mess with it.
There is a possibility that we may be able to help restore the LaGrange House, by the grace of God. We do not own the LaGrange house, but we do know the owners. We believe that it is of historic value. We hope to raise funds to help this place be saved. It has deteriorated much in the six years that I have lived near it, even since last year. Here's to prayin' that something can be done to save this place, because it is incredible.
