Our 13 Photos Of An Abandoned Georgian House That Was Renovated And Then Burnt By Lightning

ADVERTISEMENT

This 170-year-old historic house in Georgia was saved from demolition by a couple who decided to renovate it and make it their dream home. Just four months into renovations, it was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. These photos show the house in its long-abandoned state, during renovation, and after the devastating fire. The loss has been insurmountable, and nothing of the house can be salvaged.

The “Saving The Big Little House” project was being chronicled on their trendy Instagram page.

Please go to their Gofundme to see their story and see how you can help. All photographs by Andrew Wing and me, Bryan Sansivero. Enjoy!

    This dude right here? He works as a Community Manager at Bored Panda. Has no back-story, cause his spine works just fine. He writes about himself in third-person, and in first-person about others. Fell in love with storytelling and cannot let that love go. Now, he's here to help you make your own story simply beautiful. Secretly makes cute music samples and writes stories in the dark that nobody has ever heard of before.
