Anniston -- the mansions on Woodstock Avenue?
We stopped through Anniston this weekend so we could eat at Top of the River on our way back home to B'ham from ATL. We were a bit early, so killed some time. Drove through the old Army Depot and looked at the great tile-roofed officers' housing that has now been sold to individuals -- what a wonderful setting. Then we wandered through the historic area of Anniston and stumbled across four abandoned mansions on Woodstock, adjacent to the high school. One looks very old, ca. 1900 or so, and is boarded up. The other three are 1920s vintage and look to be in various states of repair/disrepair -- but all empty.
I'm sure that when the high school was built there in nineteen-sixty-whatever that it couldn't have helped property values on that block. But those are gorgeous places, and the surrounding neighborhood doesn't look too bad. What is the story with these homes?
