What’s inside?

Generally speaking, this question has been nibbling at our collective elbows for millennia. What we can’t see, what we can’t quite imagine, possesses us with wonder.

Many have wondered what opulence, or perhaps squalor, lieÂ within the walls of the Heck-Andrews House on Blount Street.
