Antebellum Home Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is one of the many Antebellum homes that are located in the South Alabama town of Troy. Many of these fine old homes are not in this condition but several seemed to be being renovated.
Troy is a city in Pike County, Alabama, United States. At the 2000 census the population was 13,935. More recent estimates place the population as 14,482. The city is the county seat of Pike County. It is home to Troy University.
Troy burned down in 1901 and had to be rebuilt from scratch. Originally known as Deer Stand Hill (an Indian hunting ground) and first settled about 1824, it was later known as Zebulon and then Centreville before being renamed Troy (1838).
Troy is a great little town and definitely worth a visit if you are ever in the area.

Hello Asa,
A pleasing off-centre composition of this lovely old home nicely framed by the trees. The gravel path invites us towards the front door to explore inside. Good light and colours; excellent clarity.

Hi Asa,
Beautiful example of southern architecture.
She looks very well cared for as she stands out brilliantly against that lovely sky.
I see there is a bit of color on the trees.
Here the trees are just about bare.
Regards, Tom

Hi Asa,
A very attractive house, looks quite typical for this region. The asymmetric composition is also very good and the two chimneys work well together with the two red "pillars" (or whatever you call them) on each side of the stairs. I can detact some slight autumnal colours in the trees here, but still very remarkably green.
Kind regards
Gunnar

pierrefonds (26407) 2009-10-29 17:02

Hi Asa,

The trees and the bushes are framing well the house. The colums are making the hous to stand out. The point of view is allowing me to see the details and colors of its architecture. The morning light has a good effect on the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Asa,

Incredible that we this type houses find in America, real a colonial house.
Lovely architecture, perfect symetry, nice entry through the narrow path.
Excellent perspective, good presentation too.
Sharpness and clarity be superb.
Very well done, TFS.

I wish you a very nice autumn weekend,
John.

Hi Asa.
Very nicely cropped panoramic view of this pre-civil-war house. It looks as though great care has been taken with its restoration and preservation. Your photo captures it in wonderful early Autumn conditions, with the light very well exposed. I do like the inclusion of the cars on the left, providing a contrast. And there's a touch of Autumn in some of the foliage. It's a great season for taking photos.
Regards,
Andrew

Bonjour Asa,
L'architecture de l'Antebellum Home est magnifique. Le format de la composition est judicieux, ne présentant que l'essentiel. Le bâtiment bien placé, souffre cependant de déformation accentuée ;o) qui toutefois n'enlèvent rien à sa magnificence. J'apprécie ce ciel moutonneux en fond.
Have a nice sunday!
Pierre

emjleclercq (14352) 2009-11-01 13:14

Impressive hose with this large veranda. I like the symetry of the facade, with included eeven the two chimneys. Good natural colors.

All the best,

Emmanuel

Hello Asa,

This is an impressive depiction of the old house, with prepossessing columns, topped by Corinthian columns. The light management is first rate.

Warm regards and have a good week.

Hello Asa!
I love such architectural style for "giant" houses! This one is truly magnificent!
Your picture is excellent: sharpness, exposure, dof, pov, colors and composition are top notch!
TFS - congratulations!
Best regards,
Neyvan

stego (22374) 2009-11-06 17:49

Hi Asa,
A real beauty, charmingly southern, with that mix of colonial and those monumental classic Corinthian columns. The slanted POV is quite unconventional and risked to render an awkward appearance, but surprisingly, it doesn't and the result is amazing. Then, there is that gorgeous clarity and colours! I like it very much.
Regards,
José

Hello, Asa!

Hello Asa,

A catch of eccentric sight which emphasizes well this superb residence and gives much of depth to the image. The imposing entry of this house is splendid. I like much the quality of the image as well in the colors as in the good management of the lights. I will like to spend a few days of holidays there !!! Thank you Asa.

With all my friendships and with soon,

Jean-Charles
