Welcome to Maria's Lovers House

---

So, for three months in 1983, Brownsville was taken over with excitement as the film Maria's Lovers was made across Brownsville, West Brownsville, and surrounding Fayette County. 208 Bank Street was a key location of the film and for many decades after the movie has been known as the Maria's Lovers House

The home at 208 Bank Street (Maria's Lovers House) was built in 1910 and has been a loving home to more than a half-dozen families over the past century plus.  In 1983 it became one of the key locations for the filming of Maria's Lovers.  It sits proudly, about half halfway up Bank Street, and enjoys some of the best views of historic Brownsville.  However, over time as the town faced declines in both business and residents the home was abandoned and left to decay and be lost to time and mother nature.   Despite the lack of proper maintenance and the eventual 15 years of abandonment, the house had a solid foundation and roof and would not succumb to neglect.  

The revitalization started and just being able to get on the property after 15 years of abandonment and use as a dumping site, our goal was simple the goal was to ensure access and safety of the site.  

When all said and done, it is now a beautiful AirBnB that takes you back to the 1940s.
