The sound of conversation filled the front lawn of Gaineswood on Thursday as community members, preservationists and state officials gathered beneath the towering columns of the historic home to celebrate the completion of a $1.4 million renovation project.

The Demopolis Area Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon cutting marking the end of the latest phase of repairs to the exterior of the Greek Revival mansion on Cedar Avenue, a project that took about a year and a half to complete.

Todd and Cindy talk about the historic property in this segment of the Black Belt Newscast.
