Something New!

Ever since we started releasing episodes of True Tales From Old Houses in 2018, the requests for more old house stories and interviews have been rolling in regularly. So, starting this season, Stacy will be hosting Instagram Live sessions with a guest Friday nights at 8 pm on the off-weeks. The first episode is available now. 

• True Tales From Old Houses - The Instagram Sessions Episode #1 (Recorded 2/18/2022): Nick & Damian from The Kimble House talk about their experience of getting the Kimball house listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and applying for state rehabilitation tax credits.

The next Instagram Live Session will be Friday, March 11, 2022.
