Just buy the old house.
Our story
I’ve had a love for old houses and antiques since I was young. It all started with a wrong turn down a one way in Mount Vernon, Ohio one day and saw a FOR SALE sign by the road. The yard was overgrown and you could barely see the house.
I’ve been a photographer since I was 13. The manor sold me with a flood of natural light and a good bargain of a price. I’m inspired by the ethereal and otherworldly, creating a unique space to share with others while I bring this 1850s home back to life.
The History
The Seymour Estate, 1850s. While not much history has been found, the local library has helped us get a good estimate on the year the house was built. What we know is that John and Sarah Seymour owned a good portion of the block and was a working horse farm until sections of it was sold off. John Seymour sold insurance and willed the estate to his 8 children. We prioritize preserving as much of the home’s history as possible, including repurchasing the land around it to make it whole again.

If you’d like to make a donation to the cause of saving an old house I happily accept antiques, old clothes and costumes for photoshoots, and monetary donations can be made via venmo — username @nicoleleonemiller.
