2412 Palymyra

In addition to the great brackets on the house in the foreground, it also features an interesting front entryway...which actually opens into a breezeway backed with a side gallery, similar, although not identical, to the false front door style popular in historic residences in Charleston, South Carolina (many of which feature what appears at first to be a full front door that actually leads immediately onto a side gallery ).

Prices Paid by State to Acquire Properties in the VA and LSU Footprints

Taxpayer Funds Expended to Acquire Homes 

- Some listed homes demolished, all others destined for landfill after salvage unless moving plan comes to fruition


*This post is a work in progress.  It will be updated as data is added, and I'll place a link on the sidebar for "Property Acquisition Costs to Taxpayers."  The list is intended to a) account for the waste of taxpayer dollars in acquiring properties, and b) monitor home prices to ensure just compensation.
