Lebanon’s 176-year-old mansion finds new life

A 176-year-old mansion just steps from downtown Lebanon has changed hands for $1.1 million, nearly doubling in value since 2020. The home’s blend of historic charm—think nine fireplaces, high ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows—with modern updates like a granite kitchen and a rebuilt carriage house makes it stand out. Imagine living in a piece of local history, wrapped in a covered porch and set on almost three acres. Would you choose character and legacy over a brand-new build? What would you do with all that space? #RealEstate #LebanonOH #HistoricHomes

Birmingham’s lost mansion: A century in a snapshot

Imagine walking past a mansion in Glen Iris that looked like it belonged in another era—120 years old, packed with antiques, and echoing with the stories of everyone from a high-powered lawyer to an FBI agent. Before its demolition last year, this home was a living scrapbook: dragon-carved loveseats, Egyptian props, and even a wedding dress left hanging as if its owner would return. Its walls held both triumph and heartbreak, and its slow decay felt like watching history slip away. Do you think enough is being done to save Birmingham’s architectural gems before they vanish? #RealEstate #BirminghamHistory #HistoricHomes

Dallas gem: Dilbeck ranch cottage hits the market

A true piece of Dallas history is up for grabs—a rare Charles Dilbeck ranch cottage in Stevens Park is for sale after more than 30 years with the same owner. This isn’t just another house; it’s a living work of art, packed with quirky details like the original oxen yoke garage door and a massive, hand-carved fireplace mantle. Only four families have ever called this place home, and it’s been lovingly updated while keeping its vintage charm. For $575,000, you could be the next steward of this architectural treasure. Would you preserve its legacy or make it your own? #RealEstate #DallasRealEstate #HistoricHomes
