Bell House
Posted June 24, 2012, by Broch Bell (brochgbell [at] aol [dot] com)

The town was called Jackson Alabama when we moved there, im happy to see that is now a historical house.My dad spent a long time restoring the house but never finished. before we first bought the place it was vacant and was going to be bulldozed down,we restored alot of the house.I havent seen the house years,but i will see it again soon.

sincerely,Broch(oldest son)
