More about The Molette House

We've taken on the exciting and nerve-wracking adventure of preserving, restoring, and renovating the old Molette House, which has been in Eleanor's family since 1825. She is the seventh generation Molette that will live in the house, and our daughters are the eighth generation.

The house was going to be torn down to make way for a hunting club so we moved it quickly in 2008 to a spot near the Alabama River on family land. We worked on it off and on during the Great Recession, and then dove in full-time in November, 2013. Unfortunately, just as we were beginning construction we discovered the house was in a flood way (not a flood zone, which we could have handled). Therefore, we moved the house a second time to high ground in a cotton field, also still on Molette land.

This page documents some of the journey related to preserving, restoring, and renovating the Molette House.
