Before and After Renovations of the Tucker House

Title: Before and After Renovations of the Tucker House
Description: Photograph of before and after renovations of the Tucker House. Ollie Tucker built the little red house in 1914 and raised nine children there. In 2004, members of the family and family friends began work to restore the home, which had sat empty for decades. The family set it up as their
grandparents had maintained it and opened it for tours in November 2005, showing life for a typical black farming family in the mid-1900s. It has been on the Christmas Tour of Homes as well. Though it is not currently open for tours, some family members are hoping to have it ready for visitors again soon.
