The Hehn family has spent the last few years fixing and renovating the home of Luther Judson Price, a former slave who became the post master of South Atlanta in 1889. Their renovation journey has been featured on the show "This Old House."
ATLANTA Most contractors told them they would tear it down. A two-story five-bedroom Victorian built around 1900, it was abandoned and collapsing, with vines reaching its rafters. Elegant features were scavenged long ago. The house s place in American history was at risk of disappearing.
The PBS show chronicled the 1900s Victorian home renovation in eight episodes to stream Sept. 29, weaving Black history in with its usual home improvement tips.
