FOR SALE: 1900 Gilded Age Mansion
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 03. 2023
- Of all the historic homes for sale we have shared on this channel, this may be the most magnificent. There is no DIY or renovation to be done here, this one is ready for you to move in and live in glorious historic luxury!
This gilded age mansion was designed in 1900, the very end of what we consider the Victorian era, but moving quickly into neo-classiscal revival design. In this home we see elements of Victorian aesthetic, neo-classical, egyptian revial and almost everything in between. This was a "more is more" era of American architecrture, where the wealthy enjoyed sharing their financial success through the design and finishes of their private spaces. As grand as this home appears today it is mellowed compared to the extreme finishes it had when first built.
The home was designed by architect Charles Thompson, who created many of the grandest homes in Arkansas during this period. But the interiors were designed by the New York firm of Tiffany and Company. This is possibly the only chance you'll ever have to have breakfast at Tiffany's every day! Each space is exquisitely designed, and most of the original features are in place and as beautiful today as the day they were installed. Throughout the home we find Honduran mahogany, golden oak, rich parquet, original wall coverings, glowing century old tile and so much more.
This 6 bedroom 6 bathroom home needs nothing but you to move right in. No renovation, no restoration, no rehabillitation: just preservation. This one isn't a handymans dream-this one is an American dream brought to splendid life.

For the home to be this old and to be this beautifully preserved is really amazing.
This house has been dearly loved. ❤❤❤
I am stunned at the profound beauty of this house.
And...
I'd love to see the closets and third floor and basement. The innovations of the era fascinate me!
Funny about the laundry chute in the renovations. Did they start throwing clean laundry down it? ;-)
@@tortiesrule7432 I don't think they used closets. The basements and top floors were usually quite plan.
Arkansas should put this house as historical site and turn it into museum in order to preserve it.
True, but, who would visit?
Me!
Hear, hear!!!❤
@@donquihote6023 i would, but im only 4 hours away that may be why
@@AmishHitman73.Archive Sorry, I wad having a bad day and my disdain for the ungrateful of today got out. 😖
I really appreciate the lady who is hosting this tour. She really knows her stuff and also is genuinely in love with this house.
She believes what she is talking about and I feel the passion about it. Two thumbs up!
Sincerely hope whoever buys the beautiful piece of well preserved part of history, loves and appreciates the master build that went into this house. To appreciate when and why it was built. Otherwise, well, I fear for it. I like the comment about the historical preservation of it becoming a "Walk through museum", that would ensure it's safety for generations to come.
I was born 50 years late. This era would suit me fine and I’ve thought that for years. Got a taste at my grandmother’s PA farm from early ‘50-s to early ‘70’s (sold farm, she was 94). From the half wood/electric stove to the smoke house to the outhouse, I loved it. No matter how hot the weather, the wood stove was fired because she made bread and cinnamon rolls from a mother loaf, that was started by my grandmother’s grandmother, every day or so. Go to the smokehouse, cut off a big thick slice of bacon….boom!-on the flat top. Then, homemade butter, bread, bacon sandwich. Then coffee hand ground in a hand crank grinder and a cinnamon roll with butter. Sit in the humongous wicker rocker right by the stove, looking out big double hung windows overlooking the side field, not a house, road in sight
All fresh vegetables out of the garden or home canned in winter along with her beef, chickens, lamb, hogs.
You’ll never know how good it was.
You can have/take all this “world”, I’d go back right now. I didn’t mind the “shoveling or slopping” either.
Lucky you, Pete. I was raised in a tiny box in the burbs, also from 1950s to 1970. Both parents worked.
Chores were minimal and unchallenging, school regemented and unsympathetic beyond jr. high. I amused myself by walking into town. Too many opportunities to get into trouble, which one didn't have to look for. It found you.
@@dhamiltonsherman1381 Yeah, wouldn't have wanted what you had. As things progressed I didn't want them too. Gran's farm sold in '72, nothing the same after that. Thanksgiving, Christmas, kids everywhere cause she had 11(?) kids. Nobody wanted to leave. That place was paradise, stuck in time. Wasn't allowed to use indoor bathroom if the weather was nice....outhouse, with last year or two Sears catalog for your "cleanup" needs.
I was born 40 years ago, so what? What importance can happen, if everyone under each video talks about how many years ago they were born??? I bored so much & it's so annoying, to read about dozens of years of birth.
@@user-yp6kn2uw4k But.,.here you are!
Very beautiful home! At 1.6M for what you are getting this home is an absolute steal!!
Is that price for real? It wouldn't last long on the market here in New England. There are far smaller houses cramped in with others for that price. No yard, no sitting outside space. I would have space in this house for my music room, I'm a concert violinist, and my paint studio. I paint Acrylic modern and abstract canvases........and rocks to leave on hiking trails. My two cats would love hiding in this house, then pouncing on each other. What a game. Good show.
Yes, but....Arkansas
1.35 mill as of April 2024
It’s in Arkansas that pretty much tells it all. No thanks
Not really considering the majrotiy of it is sunk....
Sure hope the right person buys this home. Someone who appreciates the beautiful woods and isn't paint happy.
The woodwork absolutely gleams! It's so shiny it's blinding. Breathtaking!
Whoever has owned it over the many years has taken wonderful care of it.
I do believe this house is move-in ready! Truly a masterpiece that hasn't been destroyed by modernization.
SO TRUE!!! You can tell this house was very much cared for!
I agree. I wouldn't change a single thing.
All you need is 6 furniture stores worth of furniture and decorations and you're all set!
It can be yours for $1.6 million!
….yet. Just wait until someone with zero taste and lots of money bedazzles it. Gets tired of it and sells it a few years later.
Absolutely stunning home. I love when older homes have been well cared for.
IM THANKFULL TO THE PEOPLE THAT REVIVE THESE HOMES AND HOPE TO DO THE SAME ONE DAY SOON
What an incredible treasure! I hope the next owners cherish it and take care of it like good stewards!
I am from Little Rock originally and this house is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. The Quapaw Quarters has done an incredible job of taking these incredible homes of other eras and keeping them intact for us who LOVE them. I understand that this house has mostly original floors and everything which is amazing in itself. THANK you for giving us a brief look into this home!!!
This house still shows like a model home. Exquisite craftsmanship! We don’t get that today. Thanks for showing it. ❤
The craftsmen and the amazing woods are not here today.
Not everyone got a home like this even back then. These homes were for the super rich. It works the same way today.
WOW! This is one of the most beautiful homes you have shown. The wood 😳 . ❤
Hello how are you doing?
Absolutely Incredible estate! Arkansas has so many beautiful homes!
What a gem. They don't build houses like this anymore. Beautiful. Thanks
Oh cool! I used to live one block down and across the street from this house. It went through it once or twice a long while ago. The sun porch has always been my favorite part of this house, because even in the winter, it looks so sunny & full of life. It’s clearly always been one of the very nicest houses in Little Rock, even in a neighborhood that’s full of really nice, very custom houses. If you like this house, look up the architect! He designed some really beautiful houses, municipal,and commercial buildings, across styles and times, all over Arkansas. I believe one of his personal houses is only a few blocks away from this home.
That sun room really stood out to me as well, beautiful!
Stunning! The kitchen was a bit of a let down. When the white butlers pantry was shown, I expected the kitchen cabinets to match. This house is a masterpiece.
I thought the kitchen was beautiful!
Hi Laine and Kevin, What an incredible home. I guessed the price at 3M and was really surprised to see it at just 1.6M....what a bargain!
@@LibbyRal it's also in Little Rock with it's very high crime rate
@@YeshuaKingMessiah not a factory, it's a large United Methodist Church , but it is on the edge of the neighborhood
Price might be lower due to upgrades that might be needed that we can’t see such as plumbing and electrical and other things.
@@katiek1856 Agreed. The roof looks like it may need fixing as a start.
1.35 mill right now April 2024
OMG! I used to pass this house on my way to church and I always just drooled over it! What a treat to get to see inside. Preserving a gem like this is my dream.
: A Sears house , a few miles east of Roscoe Texas .
I noticed a big Methodist Church next door and a Episcopal church a block down, pretty neighborhood
@@califdad4 yes! I was a paid singer at the episcopal church :) the Methodist church has changed hands in terms of congregations, if I correct? I only lived in LR for about two years, but I do know both churches were very open and loving to all the people of LR. A major source of pride for downtown
@@catherinedurbin9298 I'm Episcopalian, I know some large churches have paid choirs and usually the Episcopal church pays their organist very well. Just curious, was the church you sang at " high church"
@@califdad4 yes, it was! Im a classically trained vocalist - so basically I have a few degrees in music that specialized in voice, from undergraduate to graduate and then those all specialize in opera/classical. So churches like to hire those voice types. Episcopal churches tend to seem high church compared to other Protestant denominations but two of the four episcopal churches I’ve worked for were especially NOT high church. Rather casual; no incense; the peace was rather long; but the rite (or formula for the service) was from the episcopal book of common prayer (which I believe is almost completely shared with aged Methodist and older Presbyterian churches).
I’m nerdy, a musician, and a liberal Christian, so feel free to ask any questions!
Beautiful house!Must have been wonderful living in this gorgeous home.
I don't like to swear, but Holy c**p, what a masterpiece of a home! Unbelievable. ❤
This home is stunning! I'm so glad that at least some people still cherish the old beauties and don't paint them gray or white like they do today. My home is a much pared down version of this home and for years I've been trying to bring it back to it's old glory.
Keep at it! We need every old home restored as much as possible because so many are being lost.
It is a labour of love, I am certain! I grew up in a beautiful three story Victorian home in central Illinois, and at the time we moved in, it was just over 100 years old. The house was set much higher than the street, requiring two flights of concrete stairs, then a third flight leading up to a large front porch . It made the house appear much bigger and taller than it was. I was told the house once sat much nearer to level ground, but they had to modernize the streets and that eas how they made it all fit.
From the porch, one would enter through the front door, which was actually two doors, as we had an air lock that my mother called a vestibule. The vestibule was original, with a beveled glass front door, a leaded glass transom, a mosaic floor with the little square tiles, and there was a fancy cast iron radiator fit with a custom tin cover for drying and warming gloves. The second door opened to oak floors, archways, columns, pocket doors, and high ceilings. The front stairway was solid oak with two landings, which were both situated on the outer wall that jutted out in a bow fashion just for that staircase. Three stairs down from the main floor, underneath the stairs was a tiny powder room . A brass pole extended up from the toilet, through the ceiling of the powder room and extended through the first landing and was capped off near the ceiling. The toilet flushed by the gravity of the water in the pipe inside the brass pole. On the other side of the stairs was a small den with built in bookshelves from floor to ceiling. There was also a half height radiator that ran the length of the room, tucked under the lowest shelf, so the books never got moldy. The formal living room had a huge picture window, and four large windows at the base of a turret that ran up all three stories, ending with a six sided little room with six windows and not quite enough headroom for me to stand comfortably. The roof over the turret came to a point with a proper finial on the top. My only regret is that it was not fitted with a copper rooster weather vane. All of our front facing windows had leaded glass above. I suppose the topmost turret room should have been octagonal, however, the two additional faces were where the little tower room opened up into the largest bedroom that took up the entire third floor.
In the far end of the living room, there was a gorgeous fireplace flanked by two floor to ceiling built in book shelves. The hearth was the original mosaic tile, the mantle was hand carved oak, the mirror on the overmantle original silver on beveled glass, and the original cast iron fireplace cover was perfectly preserved like it had just been cast and seasoned. It reminded me of the old vaults in a mausoleum, or like a crematoreum, when I was about six or seven. The frame, that this very heavy domed cover fit into like a glove, included a cast iron facade that was somewhere in between a grate and a grill. The floor of the firebox was a grate that let hot ash fall through when the embers burned down small enough, and the heat from these embers would flow through the little slits in the cast iron and warm the tiled floor. Once completely cooled, or not...one could work a large lever from side to side, and a paddle would sweep the ashed to the rear of the chimney, where there was a brick chute to deliver it into the basement where a mess of ashes and charred bits of wood didn't matter at all. There were also two similar chutes on the outside of the brick foundation, both closed off by much smaller cast iron square doors, and these led into two rooms in the basement with dirt floors where coal was once stored. These rooms allowed coal to be delivered without anyone needing to enter the basement or the house at all. Our furnace, which was actually a coal boiler that had been retrofitted to burn natural gas, still had that heavy door about the size of a big scoop shovel, that could be swung open to shovel the coal into and onto the burner.
The living room was separated from a formal dining room by two huge pocket doors. Inside the dining room was a built in china cabinet that sat above a buffet and large, roomy drawers for storing silver serving dishes. At the rear of the buffet was a small window with a little door that slid up to allow the courses of a meal to be placed on the buffet without any servants being seen(not that we had any). The other side of the window was in a large pantry, again, with built in cupboards from floor to ceiling and a low counter top in between. The laundry chute also opened into the pantry, where linens could be sent down for laundering. The kitchen sat on the other side of the pantry, and another stairway ran from the kitchen to the back of the second floor. This stairway was narrow, steep, and so cold in the winter that we used it as an additional cooler for the holidays. I remember the way we stored so many cakes, pies, and cold drinks on the bottom six or so steps. We had such good times in that house.
There were five bedrooms and two full baths on the second floor, and each room had built in cabinets or shelves, big closets, and so many windows for natural light. The bedroom at the very back of the house was the smallest, but it also had a screened in porch balcony that overlooked the rear yard and a carriage house. Every room had cast iron radiators, and a tin shelf fitted over the top. In the dryest part of the winter cold, we would place big bowls of water on the shelves to add moisture to the air...next to, of course, our cats. They would curl up in round tins, like little kitty muffins baking in an oven.
My parents bought that home in 1976, and we lived there until 1991. They raised five children there, myself being the fourth born. I was five the summer we moved in, and our youngest sister was brand new.
It is important that I balance my tale of grandeur by also disclosing that we were not wealthy by any monetary means. The house cost my parents $20, 000, and it needed a ton of work when they bought it. They put about $60k into it over the years, starting with having the house insulated because it was not at all. That boiler would crank as hot as it possibly could, yet on the coldest mornings I could see my breath in my bedroom. Thank God for good old fashioned wool blankets, down comforters and cotton linens!
Oh! And I almost forgot the one thing that inspired me to comment in the first place: when we moved in all of the oak woodwork, the pocket doors, the columns, that beautiful mantlepiece...all painted over in layer upon layer of gunky white paint, the kind that must have been rather glossy at some point, but that someone(s) had lathered on thick without properly stirring first. In the hot, humid summers that paint felt as if it never quite fully cured. So the finish was uneven, and it filled in the finer details of the hand carved wood. The highest traffic areas seemed to collect handprints and newspaper ink residue, lol. I suppose I could find a little gratitude that it wasn't salmon pink or one from the fashionable 70s color palette...like a lovely shade of mustard or avocado.
My mother spent the first ten years with an impressive array of dental picks and tiny spatulas, a square can of paint stripper, and hours upon days of elbow grease and blood, sweat, and tears so very carefully removing all that awful gunk. All by herself, while we were at school, my mother slowly restored the gorgeous finish of that natural oak.
By the time we were ready to move on, my parents could have made a mint selling it, as it had been added to the historic district's official registrar. However, they decided not to think of themselves. They very carefully selected a buyer that did not intend to displace the residents of our block, or chop it up into apartments, like so many other big, beautiful homes near us. They ended up choosing a young couple that loved the house and all of its quirks and beautiful charms, and my parents let them rent to own it. They did not take advantage of the situation, and applied the full rent to the purchase price. They transfered the deed over after the rents added up to $25,000, and that couple still owns the house to this day. They raised their family there, too.
I now live in a small, boring house built in 1962, and the most interesting feature is a robin egg blue bathtub that I lucked out by not having the toilet to match. Thank God the previous owners replaced it with a nice, shiny white model. We have a white tub sitting in our laundry room just waiting for the right day to be swapped out for the blue, which is now slightly green from the sixty years of rust stains that no longer buff out. The 60s may not be my favorite era for architecture, but that doesn't mean I can't show some respect for the boxyness. I have refused to let the remodel guys talk me into replacing my thick, wide slat aluminum siding, aluminum frame windows, and the vintage light post by the front walkway. Maybe if they were selling something less toxic than vinyl, and they weren't always hustlin' exagerrated storm damage as the way to pay for it(through an insurance claim I don't really feel honest about filing) . So much has changed about daily life since the time these homes were so thoughtfully built, and since dozens of master craftsmen were ready, available, and eager to build something lasting. The good news is that the sentiment of those times will return to us sooner than we might think. They always do. Good luck with your endeavor, and thank you for prompting me to revisit my memories of my wonderful childhood home. Cheers!
WOW. I could not believe my ears when you said an intact Tiffany interior. The founding Tiffany was the new world's 19th century equivalent to the UK's 18th century "Robert Adam". High style, refined interiors from floor to ceiling & every piece of furniture & textile to an equal standard. Even though this house is later for the company it still hints at the extravagant work of art that this place must have been when originally presented to the owners.
That beautiful double entertaining parlor probably had a matching second fireplace with mantle where that large etagere is located , in-between the window & door, or maybe instead of a fireplace it might have been a matching full height pier mirror in that spot. The morrish room too looks like it might have had a fireplace. Maybe one in stone or tile with a Moorish style arch? Was there an original picture of that room?
I suspect the reason why the dining room over mantle was changed was because there was also a built in server in the room with a matching upper carved panel. When tastes changed & the server was removed, the single carved over mantle might have seemed old fashioned, out of place or even cumbersome to someone who wanted to put a large painting or mirror above that mantle. .
Great Video, you guys are pros!
Just loved our homes there m . I love my old Vincent price scarey house on stormy night. It was creepy
When I have the money I’m going to buy one of these beautiful old homes. I love history and I love the feeling of time passing in a home with all the people who came and went and all of the families living there. I just love it. 😊
Maybe u can get a few dollars from Bill Clinton or Hillary They are from around there! Lol
That house is absolutely gorgeous!! Think, it is 123 years old and is so near original that it's crazy. I'm always saddened when original features have been removed from homes but this one has it all yet! Thank you for sharing!
WOW!! This house is incredibly beautiful 😍
This is truly magnificent, stunning and breath taking.
From a gilded age that if on Park Avenue in New York would easily command $80m.
A steal at $1.6m and I can see the new and great Governor of Arkansas using this to host businesses and industry considering to locate in her state. The Walton Family should pony up the cash and gift it back to the people of Arkansas.
I cannot with this house 😍 It's AMAZING!!! Every turn I was like, oh that's my favorite detail, and then you went into the next room and it kept getting better and better. Thanks for showcasing this beautiful home and letting us all have a glimpse into the past.
Stunning home. I can imagine this house in it's hey day, the parties...I adore history and to see homes so well preserved is breathtaking.
I thought that same thing to see the guests pulling up with their finest horses and carriages ❤
This is such a beautiful, wonderful, glorious home, but I know I must have been a servant in a former life because my first thought on seeing all that (beautiful) wood was "gosh that will show every speck of dust" 😅
Absolutely Magnificent home & tour! I can only imagine what the walls have heard and seen 💞
Thank you so much for recording and posting all the house tours of the beautiful homes in Quapaw area of Little Rock. This is the only way I will ever get the chance to see inside them. In a way, they are a glimps into a time of my family’s history.
My family goes back to before 1900 in Little Rock and my Grandfathers family owned a home from that time in the Quapaw neighborhood and Grandmothers family home was a few blocks away. I wouldn’t be surprised if they had been to some wonderful parties at the beautiful house you featured in your video today! (I wish she was around to ask)
Unfortunately both homes are no longer standing but parts of one, lives on in my home in Kansas City. My love for old homes comes from my memories of my Great Grandmothers 1902 Little Rock home.
Hello how are you doing?
We live in a home built in 1900. We're renting it and it is a dump, but if I had the money I'd buy it and restore it, and add on another bedroom and bathroom. It started out as a coal miners house like many here in town.
If I ever win the BIG lottery I would buy it and then hire Kevin and Laine to fill it with period appropriate furnishings, then to help me made the kitchen more period ready. Oh my what a house.
That floor is gorgeous..the whole house is.
This is amazing! Thank you for showing us this beautiful house. Definitely built to impress and it sure does. This is what you get when you say money is no object. Wow!🌸
Hello how are you doing?
I feel like I'm living back in this era and imagining that perhaps I lived in this beautiful grand home...Imagination is a wonderful thing! Right? LOL What fun! This mansion is pure perfection!!!
Fabulous! Modern McMansions of the nouveau riche look like tacky hovels next to this.
I'm the 1,000th like in 5 hours!!! I had to laugh at the fish shower curtain in this otherwise perfect, beyond tasteful house. :D The parquet floors are insane! Each room is so balanced in the decor and color choices. Just exquisite!! While many of the grand homes you have featured used high quality oak, and good local pine, the brag factor of "imported' mahogany raises the bar. This is indeed a treat, and I hope the buyer will respect and appreciate the literal treasure they have there. The quality of your video work and tour on this one is flawless. 10/10!
Thank you! I laughed at the shower curtain also. Maybe a child’s room??
You made me skip through the video until I found the fish shower curtain. Funny. Despite my comment complaining about its location, this is such an exquisite home and it does my artist's heart good how much of the original features were preserved
19:31 For anyone who needs to find the fish shower curtain again. 🤭
Me Too!,
It just kept getting better and better!! Truly magnificent. I just feel so strongly that with properties like this the listing needs to include something about the preservation and the history of the home that needs to remain intact. it could very easily be used as a B&B, I’d pay to stay there.
A great idea and probably will be snatched up soon for just a such a thing! I'd pay for a stay as well!
It would be a gorgeous B&B
During the 90s, and into mid 2000s the owners ran a B&B, as well as catering events such as weddings, rehearsal dinners, Xmas parties, etc. I’ve been in the home dozens of times and spent a few nights. (Only once alone. Once was enough.😮) Whilst I’ve always been in awe of the architecture, I realize now how much I did not know about the home. Great video.
So beautifully
The House of Tiffany & Co. is such amazing quality
This house! I'm just on the introduction and 😱WOW! What a place!
Love those windows w the narrow hexagram designs.
Surely wanted to watch the elevator ride!
THIS is my absolute favorite home I've ever seen! I drooled the whole video. Thank you for showing it to us 🙏🏼
It just doesn't get any better than this! Thank you. ps love the music.
A resounding YES!! Laine, this house should be your and Kevin's next giveaway! Sign me up! 😁😁 I can dream, can't I?
This is such a beautiful, well-appointed place that was thoughtfully and painstakingly planned, created, and constructed to complete perfection. Every room in the house is majestic and contributes to the overall cohesiveness of this dynamic structure. As "we" toured this place together, I kept my awe from room to room, as you, Laine, describe in detail all of the architecture information and components; so very mesmerizing! Kevin works that video camera flawlessly all the time, capturing everything. Another great video! Thank you both!
I can only imagine the magnificent furnishings of this house.
Very Beautiful home
Stunning home! The detail in the wood, particularly the columns, is incredible.
That atrium is just lovely and the whole house. Last summer I toured the gilded age mansions in Newport that were of course lovely but this house seems more like a functioning, welcoming home and it's all in pristine condition .thank you so much for sharing:)
Just beautiful! Detroit has many homes of this caliber! This one is so notable! I can tell the hostess was very happy and proud to show this real estate. So surprised, in Arkansas! We must preserve these sites for future generations!!!! Thank you for sharing this home with everybody!!!! ♥️♥️♥️
YES! We must preserve them because pictures just do not do this justice!!!
Do you live in Detroit?
This masterpiece of architecture should be purchased by the city and maintained as a museum!!! ❤
Love this house. 💜 It’s so beautiful! My husband and I spent one of our anniversaries there back when it was a B&B. It was such a treat to stay there.
It needs to be Band B again or a wedding venue. I would hate for the house to be turned into office space.
This is my absolute favorite video you have ever made!!!! Wow doesn’t even begin to cover it. Kevin and Mark have absolutely exquisite taste and have lived 10 lives already. I would absolutely love to have a cocktail with them and listen to stories! I just love what Kevin said about antiques and that it’s not hard to live with them. My brother and I grew up in a house with fine antiques and were allowed in every single room and allowed to touch things. We learned from the beginning how to appreciate and take care of nice things. I now have a home of fine antiques that my young twin nieces are able to appreciate, touch, and treat nicely. Anyway, you just don’t here people say antiques are easy very often and I so appreciate it. Thanks for all the wonderful content!
> @victorialewis5799 You have been most fortunate to have lived in luxury while growing up, as well as what you describe now as residing in a home of "fine antiques." I venture to say that most folks are not blessed with such surroundings during their childhood, and then again as an adult. Your story brings to mind the profound lyrics of the composition written by Billie Holliday and Arthur Herzog called "God Bless The Child." Here's an excerpt from it: "Them that's got shall get, them that's not shall lose;
So the bible said and it still is news;
Mama may have and Papa may have;
But God bless the child that's got his own."
I'd buy this house and the land aurrounding it just to turn it into a historical land site/museum to be preserved for posterity. Most beautiful interior I have ever seen. ❤️
The interior looks like a jewel box...
This was GORGEOUS. Cannot believe how stunningly beautiful. I cannot even imagine how it feels. Thx so much.
Thank you for sharing ! Such a beautiful Mansion. As they say "those were the days"
Thank you for your well informed, inviting and beautifully enthusiastic commentary. Cannot get my mind around how so much of the home's original details all survived.
I love the absolute joy both you ❤ Kevin exude when sharing the history and knowledge of these incredibly beautiful homes. You have been a godsend to me during the recent past because you gave me what I have always loved and enjoyed. I dream literally of houses. They are always old and I used to describe in vivid detail the layout to my sweet hubby, who was just amazed that I could recall my dreams😊 The music was great and I loved the "ending" down the chute!
That mansion was absolutely magnificent. That's a hefty price tag but wow, could you imagine owning this place?
Very beautiful house indeed I can only dream, though❤
So incredible!
Jaw dropping, now, that is a home!
This is absolutely beautiful! 😃
The staircases are gorgeous!😍 So MUCH craftsmanship went into building this.😄👋🏽👨🏽⚕️
The finishes in this house look like they’re new! So impeccably kept!
Talk abt a shiny penny, that entrance is just stunning! In fact, the whole house is. The craftsmanship is simply exquisite. Wish I could time travel back to see the original decor.😉 So thankful no one has come through w wall to wall carpeting!! I hope this "grand lady" will be there for many yrs to come!
God i wish I could afford to purchase this gorgeous Grand old lady
Breathtaking... Tiffany is a distant cousin of mine, it's always wonderful to see the company's work where I thought I wouldn't
Hello how are you doing?

Very interesting story indeed.I had blessing to practice in San Antonio,joint in Imperial theatre conservation project.Now have little practice in South Russia
Beautiful !
Oh, it's beautiful from the bank of windows in the kitchen dining room to the original mosaic floors in the bathrooms. Not to mention the rounded walls at the top of the stairs and gorgeous parquet floors. I could happily live there for life. I think I'd even share it with anything woo woo. Worth it!
Thank the both of you for bringing us another exquisite home. So wonderful to see all the beautiful natural wood.
Nothing like the craftsmanship of this era

Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Coming back from Texas one time, we went through Eureka Springs, Arkansas and drove around to see all their gorgeous Victorian homes. Beautiful neighborhoods.
Magnifique j'adore tout est très beaux 'je ne trouve pas pas les mot pour m'exprimer de la beauté du château c'est un chèvre il protège bonne chance santé ❤️💎🕊️🏆🏅🌺🌼💪
What a find. This would be 10 million in my neighborhood.
WOW, amazing home !
I've said it before and I say it again...I was, most assuredly, born in the wrong era and pocketbook! This is s beauty! Always enjoy our visits. Cheers, Dick from Vancouver.
This is a gorgeous example of a time capsule home with a great percentage of originality intact. Lovely property!

I think this one of my favorites. 😍💕💕
Amazing 👏
ABSOLUTELY ONE OF MORE STUNNING HOMES YOU HAVE SHARED!
Beautiful home! Also, love the music on this video 🥰
Absolutely incredible property and I learn so much from your tours. You could truly write a book of terms and the history of them. That would be WONDERFUL !
Such a gift to get to see this tour. Extraordinary!
Absolutely breathtaking ! THANK YOU !
I absolutely LOVE the Conservatory. Not enough is said about the Conservatories of these large homes. Our Victorian home in Cheyenne WY has a Conservatory about double of the size of the one shown on this house, but our other rooms are not as enormous. The dining room is very similar to this one. I would love to see our home represented on Our Restoration Nation.
Hello how are you doing?
Omg me too! The conservatories are fab
