Another minimally edited episode for those who are interested in my pet research project, the city of Anniston and the Victoria Inn/Hotel Finial. This episode never made it on to the Patreon feed as life was so hectic I never had time to compile my recordings how I wanted.

On my Patreon feed I used to read old articles from a subscription based archival newspaper site in order to give extra context to some of my episodes for those who want exhaustive deep dives.

I did one of my first episodes on Victoria Inn/Hotel Finial. Its history is one of my pet projects and I wanted to share that with others who might find it interesting, in the knowledge that many will not. I think this episode might only be interesting to those who live or used to live in the Anniston area and care about its history.

This episode was very minimally edited and was meant to undergo more editing and then go onto the Patreon feed but I left it a bit rough. I decided not to keep editing and to go ahead and post it.

The Kirby House is what the Victoria Inn/Hotel Finial was once called. I did one of my first episodes on Victoria Inn/Hotel Finial. Its history is one of my pet projects and I wanted to share that with others who might find it interesting, in the knowledge that many will not. I think this episode might only be interesting to those who live or used to live in the Anniston area and care about its history.

Donated to the anti-segregationist Methodist congregation by industrialist Henry Flagler in 1886, this church is both beautiful and historically significant.

My apologies for how breathy this episode is. I have some mild asthma and it was acting up a little bit on my recording day. I tried to edit it out as much as I could but there were some louder breaths and sighs I could not isolate and get rid of.
