History
The house was built for the Prothro family,[3] and it was completed in 1845.[4] It was designed in the Greek Revival architectural style.[4] By 1850, members of the Prothro family and their African slaves died of the yellow fever.[3] A decade later, during the American Civil War of 1861–1865, the plantation was taken over by the Union Army.[3]
It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since April 3, 1979.[4] It was destroyed by fire on June 5, 1981[5]. It was removed from the National Register in January 2019.
gollark: That could be cool. mDNS or something to detect other computers could work, or it could just blindly broadcast and receive multicast packets.
gollark: Though it might be also a good idea to go the other way and use... buildroot or something?
gollark: Like I said, though, it may be a good idea to build off an existing Linux distribution (a lightweight one like Alpine), so you can get nice things like a package manager.
gollark: Very cool. I had the vague idea of bodging Alpine Linux a bit to directly boot into a CC emulator and then PotatOS, with a few services on the host to provide the ability to execute commands and whatnot from CC, but you... actually implemented something like that, which is a lot better.
gollark: But CC has previously made a bunch of breaking changes and "deprecated" (whoever wrote that on the old wiki does not know what it means) outdated stuff.
