State: Alabama
In Alabama, old homes tend to feel settled, like they grew into the land instead of being built on it. You’ll find weathered farmhouses with tall windows and wide porches, Greek Revivals that still stand with their tall columns and formal symmetry, and Victorians with generous scrollwork, turned posts, and beadboard interiors that show their age in all the right ways. Some homes haven’t been updated in decades and still show the marks of time in their floors, walls, and trim. Others have been restored with care and a deep respect for their history. If you’re drawn to quiet rooms, creaky floors, and the kind of place that holds memory in its walls, you’ll find it in Alabama.
