I truly cannot believe the homes on the navy base have been allowed to sit vacant since the base closed in 1995. They are literally falling down. When you go to this area (some of the homes are maintained, the ones that are used for the television show ARMY WIVES) you will see that there is no more beautiful place in the world. The large looming oak trees, you can FEEL the history here… the water is near, you can just imagine all the important and fancy dinners that have been part of these homes. You would think they could at least sell to an individual who could renovate and either live there or sell? There are many homes, this one is just the most heartbreaking… There was a good article in the Post & Courier back in October regarding these homes, check it out if you get a chance! (I know with a MAC you can double click on the image to enlarge… try it!). Catch you back here tomorrow!

We lived across the street from this house in 1990. It breaks my heart to look at these photos. It was a wonderful place to live and its history should be treasured.

You lived in a beautiful area! The area is still stunning… I need to get back and get more shots to see if anything has changed. I know it truly made me sad to drive through there and see all those gorgeous homes empty… thankfully Army Wives was using a few, and those were manicured, you could get a feel for what that area would have been like ‘back in the day’… I agree, it should be treasured without a doubt! Thanks for commenting!

We just drove by this home today. It’s worse now. The top balcony overhang and the balcony flooring have both completely rotted out and rotted wood hanging down. No one has taken care of this home. Most of the homes in the neighborhood have greatly deteriorated. Even the Holden’s house used in Army Wives is falling apart.
