It’s all too often a family is torn apart over the very place that held them. A place of refuge, a place of so many beautiful memories is now tainted by the tragedy of greed.
This is the story of Jack and Dorothy and the home that held their family.

Jack was born in 1914 and grew up in this country home his father built in the late 1800’s. He was always the go-getter type and believed he would one day be the mayor of this small Georgia town. After marrying Dorothy, his high school sweetheart, his father gifted the newlyweds the house to raise a family in.

But tragically, the happy couple suffered the loss of two of their children.. one of them only an infant. And through their grief, they held each other together with the love they shared and overcame the obstacles of despair; Jack going on to being elected as mayor, and Dorothy raising their 6 other children at home.

As time went on, the children all grew up and moved away while Jack and Dorothy lived out their years in the home that held their family for so long.

But in 1992, sadly, Jack died at the age of 78, leaving behind his estate to Dorothy.. but not long after Jack died, Dorothy passed away without leaving an official will for her children despite the verbal agreements on how their inheritance would be spit.

And although this beautiful home held a love story that lasted for decades, it too, was laid to rest after the children entered a drawn out legal battle with one another failing to come to agreement on how to divide the estate.

And now, like the vines that have swallowed this once beautiful place, the unrelenting nature of greed consumes everything in its path- a family that once was, the home that held them together, and the love story of Jack and Dorothy.

So now, let’s step inside of this place, and let’s see what is still left behind.
