All things must pass (then and now)
The Horton-McCracken house in Huntsville, as photographed in 1934 by W.N. Manning for the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS). This antebellum home was demolished in 1949, to be replaced by a subdivision of modest houses, which are now suffering from neglect. (See next pic in my photostream.)
“It was not until 1839 that Horton acquired the 160 acres on which he constructed his new homeplace, the Horton house. This land was on the west side of the Meridianville Pike (now Meridian Street), north of the Sparkman Drive overpass. ... The Horton-McCracken house was demolished in 1949 and the land subdivided into lots for a new residential development called Colonial Hills.”
