Sadly, just four months after the Berrys got the keys to their new project, disaster struck when a tree outside the property was struck by lightning in July 2020. A fire ensued and quickly spread to the house, engulfing the entire structure. It was reportedly reduced to ash in a matter of hours.

A heartbreaking loss, the tragic fate of the beloved Little House was mourned by preservationists and the local community across Louisville. While the landmark is sadly no more, its fascinating history will live on in Georgia and beyond.
