When purchasing a home, you rarely know what's behind the walls.But if you purchased the home of a bootlegger, you probably shouldn't be surprised when you find a load of booze.In 2019, Nick Drummond and his partner purchased an old house in Ames, a village in upstate New York. .We were told the home was rumored to have been built by a childless German baron who turned to bootlegging in the 1920s, Nick Drummond.During renovations, they found an area under the siding that was packed solid with imported whisky dated from 1923.After discovering the wall lined with alcohol, the couple extended their search and found even more bottles.And as the renovations continue, their search for more bottles—and background behind them—will also forge ahead.If you're interested in their findings, you can follow or friend the Bootlegger Bungalow on Instagram or Facebook
