Talk:Sarah Amanda Trott McKinney House

My home 1966...Nan Farrington Daughter Owner John Frost Farrington
I loved this old house in Sixmile Alabama. I moved from Montevallo with my parents and 3 sisters in 1966.:I was 10 years old. Big and spacious with stories to tell. If walls could talk! 5 bedrooms, living room, dining room and kitchen. Called a 4x4 house as 4 rooms on top and 4 on bottom. Bottom and Upstairs same size. Large center hall running through each level. A basic farmhouse. Built about 1885 for widowed Sarah Amanda Trott. Her husband Hiram Crocker McKinney was seriously wouded in the civil war. He was disabled and died due to complications from the wound. Her brother and son built the house for her. It was a boarding house, post office, school was held there about a year after a fire burnt down the school and private house. A man was stabbed on the front porch fighting over a girl at a party He died from the injury. I do not know where Amanda Trott McKinney moved to when Andy Langston bought the house about 1900. My father bought the house in 1966. I lived there with many memories until I married in 1975. Wen my father and mother move from the house in 1982-1983 it was sold to a Miss Wilder. She never lived in the house. It burned to the ground about 1992. 184.63.177.29 (talk) 05:32, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
