Historical Markers:  A Home With a Place in History

Historical markersEverytime I see a historical marker, especially on a residence, I think how special it must be to own a piece of history.  So when I walked up to 4015 Glenwood Avenue for my listing appointment, I was thrilled to see this precious gem prominently placed.  I remember thinking, soon I'll be a part of Forest Park's history too.  I'll be among the agents that have sold homes in Birmingham's Historic Forest Park.

Heck it's not quite as good as living in Forest Park, but the sometimes the little things count jus as much as the big things in life.

Come home to Historic Forest Park in Birmingham, Alabama.  There's a home at 4015 Glenwood Avenue just waiting for you and you'll be greeted at the entrance by silhouette that is synomous with a place in history.

You too can own a piece of history.

Charita...that is pretty cool.  I do know that the one thing buyers like to know about these homes is what kind of restrictions may be on them due to the historical designation - can they put on an addition, replace the windows....things like that.  It's always helpful to have that information!

Thanks Christine.  I will be doing a "series" of follow up post regarding living in historic districts.

Very interesting stuff, Charita.  Homes with a historic story to tell ... just amazing.  We get the Historic Preservation magazine at our house.  Love flipping through and reading all the stories .. and seeing the fantastic pictures of the beautiful architecture our country has to offer.  These historic homes speak to the  heart ...

Hi Charita. Living in a Historical District seems very special. You have a great connections with historical properties that you have sold in the past.

Charita - it is the little things that often count the most!  I would love being an agent who was able to sell a little bit of history.  Enjoy your evening.

Charita, the whole dang town is a historical district here in Gettysburg Pa, it does have it's downside, but it is really cool to think of who walked in a path before you. Hope you are well

I really love older homes... I like new ones too but the older ones hold a special place in my heart.
