War weary
Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee also receives a color treatment from this
Andrew Gardner photo at his home in Richmond, Va., less than a week
after surrendering. See Briefs (About those Civil War color photos...)
Re-draining
Workers renovating the Holt Home in Hardinsburg refit a downspout
on the circa 1850 structure. One of the renovation surprises has been
the number of birds’ nests and snakes found in the soffits. See story.

Face lifting
Refinishing the intricate details of the exterior trim and soffits of the
Holt Home has been quite a job, but this photo provides a look at how
the finished product will appear. A $500,000 grant is providing funds for
the work. See story. – Photo by Jenny Sevcik, Owensboro Messenger-Inquirer
