In the tiny town of New Market, 15 miles from Huntsville, the past has come to life again – only this time, the buildings have been repurposed, honoring the past while celebrating the present. Thanks to an enterprising couple, Whitney and Bethany Dean, the town is, if not bustling, then at least filled with visitors staying in the formerly boarded-up buildings that line the main thoroughfare near the Flint River.

“We’re obsessed with salvaging things,” said Whitney.

In 2013, when the Deans – he’s from Huntsville and she’s from Madison County – first looked at Winchester Manor, they fell in love with the historic home. “Every corner we turned, we found something more interesting,” Whitney said. “And the property was next to the downtown area, which we thought was charming.”
