Latest Breaking News On - Mote morris house - Page 1 : comparemela.com

The home, built in 1892, has a rich history. Over the years, it has belonged to three families, until the City of Leesburg took ownership of the house in 1990, when the home was physically transferred from its original plot on Main Street.  The Queen Anne-style Victorian structure nearly succumbed to the fire on Feb. 20, 2018. The fire ravaged the roof and the rear of the building. And the water damage was extensive. Despite investigations into the blaze, the cause is still unknown to this day. The restoration process has been a lengthy one. The $1.5 million project took just over three years to complete. Following the fire, the historic house sat for months before a solid reconstruction cost estimate could be made. The house remained fenced off and wrapped up with tarps, while Evergreen Construction cleared debris and checked for structural damage.
