ASU president wants residence to be community’s home By Karen Middletonkaren@athensnews-courier.com “Of course, not all of the furniture dates to 1826, but the furnishings evolved much like the house over the years and much of it was donated,” said Bradford.
Bradford said a laboratory in Virginia is testing for moisture-proof mortar with which to stabilize the bricks. He said the walls are all brick and 16-to-18 inches thick. He said no concrete was used in the foundation, which must be fortified to correct the sagging of some walls and floors. “It’s just so expensive to get it back to where it was,” said Bradford. The original slave cabin in the side yard will be restored as materials and funding become available with the goal of possibly creating a guesthouse, he said.
