Old Southwest, Grandin Village and Raleigh Court have early-1900s homes with basements and aging plumbing. South Roanoke has many 1920s–1950s homes on hillside lots. Many Old Southwest homes are Victorian and Queen Anne houses with plaster walls, heart-pine floors and stone or brick foundations. These older basements were never meant to be fully waterproof, so heavy rain or a failed water heater can quickly soak stored belongings and finished areas.
