Re: 5,000 photographs of Decatur Co. TN Tom, you might find the home you seek on the below microfilms at Tennessee State Library and Archives, Nashville. Be advised there is NO INDEX for any of the microfilms. I recall microfilm 20-3 of Record Group 189 was mostly Decaturville. I had to go back and search archives of this mail list on rootsweb to find my original posting about the 5,000 photographs. Not only were there photographs of homes, buildings, schools, churches, but sometimes information would be mentioned, i.e., the family left Parsons and moved to Decaturville, who owned the home, who built it, when it was built, how big, floor plans, who was current owner, and so on. Excerpts from messages on 2003 TNDECATU-L mail list: photographs taken by MARY V. MOORE, who undertook the job of photographing the Decatur Co. area as part of the 1986 statewide project of photographing structures over 50 years old in Tennessee. 5,000 photographs of more than 1700 structures, plus a few cemeteries. FROM LIBRARIAN AT TENNESSEE STATE LIBRARY & ARCHIVES: Record Group 189 (County Architectural Surveys by the Tennessee Historical Commission).  Here at TSLA, we have only the microfilmed photographs and records, and you are welcome to borrow the Decatur Co. rolls through interlibrary loan (ILL). Ask your librarian to request: RG 189 (County Architectural Surveys), Microfilm Rolls 20-1, 20-2, 20-3, and 20-4. For more detailed instructions on borrowing through interlibrary loan: http://www.state.tn.us/sos/statelib/pubsvs/mailill.htm These microfilms are well worth the time it takes go through them, but one needs a lot of patience. Linda Thanks, Linda, for the site. You tried! But the aerial shot of Decaturvile might have been Tim-buck-too. MapQuest may call them aerial views, but the views look a lot like the moon's surface! I was hoping to see a house or houses I once lived in  and about Decaturville until I was  10 years old
