In 2007, just two years after Hurricane Katrina, photographer Ann Dinwiddie Madden and her husband moved to Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, stumbling upon a unique home.
"I saw this adorable shotgun for sale by owner with some folks doing yard work, so we asked if we could have a look," Ann explains.
"The house was built in the 1890s and had no insulation. It had 18 inches of water in it during the storm, but the lack of insulation meant that mold didn't grow, so it was in really good shape."
"We basically painted - well, Ed did - and moved in." Fast-forward 17 years, with two children and enjoying their space as much as the beginning.
