Morocco Swing, Circa 1863, Barnesville

The name of this Victorian home, Morocco Swing, is a bit of a mystery to me, but the best kind of mystery. The house doesn’t appear to have any Moroccan elements, but apparently it has meaning. It’s a nice example of a plain style Victorian, and it dates to circa 1863. This means construction of the house was taking place during the Civil War, which was a difficult time for such an endeavor.
