Old victorian houses are beautiful, and much sought after. The problem is most are in areas where few people want to live.
It is absolutely terrible that they don't make homes like this anymore.
This home is amazing. Webber and Carolyn Brewer bought this home 22 years ago. Restored it to the beauty she is today my father restored the home himself , we have wonderful memories here as a family,
Wow. The memories alone are priceless. Have you followed in their footsteps?
When did you live there ?
I hate it that they may have taken the land away from it!
How did it fare during the Civil War ?
Girl please you don't know anything about this house you just telling a story.
It always has to be one or two people that know something about nothing.
You know she hasn't responded to any of the other people's replies.
Oh my goodness! I stayed at the Baer House B&B in November 2023 as a very happy guest. The house is so lovely and full of magnificent details. In fact, the room I stayed in is featured in your video here. I loved Vicksburg and found it full of history and charm. I hope the new owners retain it as a B&B.
Imagine building a beautiful home that would last for 150 years? Amazing...
I would have loved seeing the entire inside of the house. What a beauty she is. ❤
Me too! I was wondering what the kitchen looked like.
That floor in the entrance hall!!! Stunning!!!
We have an 1890-1920(?) Queen Anne bedroom set. Tall boy dresser, dresser w/mirror, vanity w/mirror (missing stool) & 3/4 bed. It's in phenomenal shape except for some water damage on the top of the dresser from a leaky aquarium! We've been trying to sell it but I don't want to sell to anyone who will rip the hardware off & paint it w/black chalk paint! Thank you for loving, celebrating & protecting the history of these beautiful homes & the antiques that fill the inside!
The bedroom set you have sounds wonderful. How lucky would you be to dust it and just look at it every day. My grandmother had a dressing table that was queen Anne, but when she died her son sold it, and the people painted it purple and it just broke my heart, have a good week.🤗
Go ahead and put in an intercom system with cams so you can dedicate your life to telling the new owners how to decorate and style each room, how the sun sets complimenting the furniture and how to save the textiles from being burnt from years of sun exposure to the davenport. Get a life.
@@eewilson9835 Well, that was unnecessarily rude! Please do forgive zanna9857 for so recklessly daring to express their opinion.
You should let people know how much you are selling it for there’s a lot of people who watch this utube video of restoration videos 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
@@eewilson9835 Make sure you don't kick the dog when you leave.
I hope someone respects it and takes care of it for what it is❤❤❤
Love this beauty!!!
Vicksburg is such an important city, and is as historically significant and beautiful as Natchez. We have so many great things to see-The old courthouse museum, the old depot museum, the Coca Cola Museum, as well as many historic homes and amazing places to eat.
Everyone should go see Vicksburg. Sincerely, a lifelong Mississippi girl.
we went for a weekend trip when my kids were little! we had such a great time! We went to all of these museums!
Oh my goodness, those black walnut and chestnut floors are so beautiful. Wow. Thanks for sharing.
I almost couldn't believe what I was seeing. Wow!
The wood in that house is stunning.
My dream home is a 1800's era home with all amenities INTACT>>>preserved as an art piece>>>That is my dream home>>>>
Me too. My "lotto" purchase
Mine as well if only they hadn’t painted the wood in certain rooms it takes so much away from it!
Thanks for showing this. Nothing compares to homes built in the late 1800's or beginning of the 1900's. Unmatched beauty that builders do not build anymore. I don't think. This place looks like a royal castle on the inside. Wow.
I live in Lewisburg PA. We have a similar house on our street. It is on a corner lot. It is very beautiful. Just worrying about the neighboring houses being turned into apartments by slum landlords.
The more you talk the more I like it! I always learn something from you Laine, thank you!
This home had me at the arched windows alone!
Then let me tell you about the fireplace in his kids room, the glas insert view to the flu is Thick Red Glass, that effect is achieved by melting 24k gold aurum into that, its nearly worth its weight in gold, so to speak. Unfortunate that the lady doesn't know that she is focusing on a joke, gag wood piece to share with his kids that they get to have ownership in a fun signature way into the most valuable and least spoken of detail within this home.
My friend and I stayed in this B & B. Loved it and Vicksburg.
I wish we could've seen more of the house especially downstairs BUT I thank you for what you did show. When I visited Vicksburg 1.5 yrs ago I was disappointed I couldn't take a tour of this home, so you've kind of fulfilled my wish! Thank you! It's gorgeous!
I agree! I was hoping to see the kitchens and "downstairs" parts, even checked the Zillow listing - to no avail, the photos showed only the public areas of this stunning house.
Gorgeous home. I learn so much from Our Restoration Nation.; thank you.
That newel post is absolutely incredible!
Wow!!!!! I always wondered how the very wealthy went to the bathroom back in the day!
Such an incredible treasure of a home!!!
I am completely blown away by this magnificent house. I didn't believe houses like this one still were this intact. I know there were significant modifications done but look how much is left still as it was from 1870.
Correct, work installed into a new home, set in time, aged with love, and maintained with care. Much is almost as beautiful as it was in 1870, which would have a yard all around it to match, yet today, encroaching side lots and unsightly builds right up next to the property line leave the home rather boxy feeling and uninteresting to the people that could afford it, its overpriced.
There is a place in lousisana Missouri same style of house and i believe built in the same year, however the house in Missouri needs a lot of love so she can shin as brightly as this lovely lady ❤❤❤❤
Edit: Louisiana Missouri home has been sold
Really? We videoed that house about a year ago. It does look much like this one. I hadn’t heard it had sold but I’m so glad.
@@OurRestorationNation according to Zillow it sold February 15th 2024
Never before have i seen such outstanding floors..WOW!! thanks for the show.❤❤😊
Always one of my favorites in Vicksburg from that postbellum era
Can't get over that newel post! It's so unique
I agree - I'd see that 2nd floor wardrobe and I'd put in an offer right then and there!
I love Eastlake sooo much! This home was such a treat to see. Thank you. I also adore that newel post & can see why you would want to collect newel posts. I think I need to go visit Vicksburg now!
I am currently watching a gentleman restoring an Eastlake home in Saint Louis.
Some of the things you showed look very
familiar. Thanks for sharing this home..🌹
This looks very nice. I live in the uk and seeing houses that are at least 500 years old is not uncommon here. American houses always look so different to me.
The steps going up to the entrance I would paint them white. I grandmother had a colonial home which my grandfather built for her and the steps were painted white. I like it that way it gives it a final clean finish!
Very Beautiful!! So glad these home are being saved, in times to come there will never be beautiful homes like these again!
Amazing house - the parts, we saw... I do love houses of that era! I would have loved to know, whay they cut a piece off the ballroom, and if there is another mantel hiding, etc...
The other third of that room still has the matching third fireplace. The chandeliers, however, are gone. That section of the ballroom was made into a kitchen for the bed and breakfast as the original home did not have an indoor kitchen.
Thanks for sharing. I grew up in Vicksburg and it’s a beautiful historic city with many beautiful historic buildings. So happy to see you treat it with respect. Thanks for sharing!❤
I’ve always said, if only time machines were real! It’s one thing to internally dive into centuries ago, but man o man it would be so awesome to physically go
The chandelier all of them are to die for in the ball room and bayview window room thanks for the video really enjoyed it unique thanks 🙏 the fireplaces were awesome
Wow! Just wow! The richness and exquisite detail in every room is incredible! Such talented craftsmanship.
Beautiful home!
The framed prints in that house are fabulous, especially the colorful ones!!!!!
Have seen hundreds of Victorians, all beautiful but to the point of saturation. BUT, But, but you've got what I think is a real gem. It's all the flamboyant finish work, e.g., crown molding, plaster work, two tone flooring, that half wall slat work and that newel post - is Amazing, a real stunner. The upstairs wardrobe a show stopper! Like said: Incredible Interior to die for.
Amazing detail in the older homes. I've just built a brand new home and there's not one piece of creative design like that in my new home. I'd love to lift this home and move it the 3,000 miles where I live. Darn.
You can always add details after the fact. If you can do the work yourself, it's much cheaper than having the contractors do it while building.
Warehouser, the wood and timber manufacturing company have the time and volunteer power to do those kinds of moves, and if they aren't interested, then its a balsam wood and plastercast termite den, so enjoy your NEW home.
What a beautiful and wonderful, amazing house whoever buys it really will get a queen of a home.😋
So, now I think I understand the Eastlake you often talk of. Thanks
Thank you I really liked how you showed us this house. I felt like I was there. Best job ever.😊
So glad you visited Vicksburg
that stairway is gorgeous...
So beautiful! So glad it was preserved. Absolutely stunning!
The wood work alone is priceless and this is a gorgeous piece of home everything in it is awesome great video thank you restoration nation I loved 🥰 this video and everything about it just unbelievable unique and awesome amazing tour of this home thank you 🙏 and happy saint patricks day❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
Everything is so stunning and very well kept!! I am a DIYer and I am currently doing some molding and putting decorations on the furniture I made. It takes so much time doing it. They must have had money.
Excellent video! Would love to see the courthouse museum!❤
It's always a good day when one of these tours includes features Laine has never seen before. :D Really a stunning place, where the Eastlake details are consistent and unique. That newell post is a special treat. Can you imagine that long ballroom with five chandeliers and those mirrors, all lit by candlelight? Be still my heart. Fun stories about the little boy who secretly 'defaced' part of his bedroom, and the well-kept outhouse. If I recall correctly, Vicksburg is not too far from Helena, AR, where your "Helen" house served as base for the Union army before the battle you mentioned. I loved seeing the photo you shared of the soldier's tents surrounding the house. Even when some modern updates are done, it's so wonderful to see all these historic homes preserved for the future.
A home of grand style!! It's just lovely!!
Such a stunning home! I would love to move it to a large piece of land where it can REALLY be admired! I love your channel! Thank you for sharing these gorgeous pieces of history!
Absolutely stunning!! Thank you for sharing these homes with us.
Thank you for the tour of this absolutely gorgeous home.
The floors are amazing!!!!
It’s beautiful. One little detail I would change: upgrade the modern, slotted heating register grills to period-appropriate design cast-iron ones. I did this in my Victorian cottage and it makes a big difference. I had to put endless coats of black paint on the cast iron, though, I wanted them to be easily rinsable, without rusting, because dust is a huge problem in my house. The area in front of the house has never been paved, it’s just dirt. I’m hoping to improve this soon, replacing my rotten wooden planter with a brick one, and putting in stamped, colored concrete paving to simulate gray/green slate, my exterior second trim color (can’t afford the real rock, it’s a large area).
Excellent idea, those grills were a jarring note in an otherwise magnificent home.
Go with stamped asphalt instead of stamped concrete. Oddly enough, the former looks far more authentic and it has a non-slip texture and stays cool even in full sun. On the other hand, every real life installation of stamped concrete I have ever seen looked incredibly cheesy. Like something you would see at a really cheap amusement park. Just be sure you get a good company doing the install on the asphalt though, it’s precision work.
I love this house it's beautiful i enjoyed the tour thank you.
I just love your videos. This is a beautiful home. TY for the tour.
This house...WOW!!! If I could, I would snatch it up in a heartbeat!!! Thanks for showing this STUNNING, GORGEOUS home. Be safe and GOD BLESS 🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕 ❤️🤍💙
What a BEAUTIFUL home.
Beautiful home
Gorgeous timepiece
Gorgeous home! I was shocked at the price also! What a steal! Thank you!
I was surprised too, possibly the price reflects the necessity for maintenance and restoration of the exterior.
what a beautiful home--loved the secret!
What a lovely presentation, Laine! Thank you.
That house is beautiful!! I wish I had that newel post. We live in an 1892 Eastlake Victorian. But our original staircase was torn out so sad. I’m glad you mentioned the high ornamentation as it makes sense why all our pocket doors have such detail carved in each of the inset panels. Along with the rest of the regular doors. And all the Victorian homes I’ve ever toured I’ve never seen anything like ours with that detail. I super enjoyed your home tours. I look forward to your new videos. I also wish I could hire you guys to come out and help me restore our house. Keep up the good work!
Different kinds of barely used new replaced screen doors are called insect panels, and its high ornimentation pocket doors to boot? Never heard of it, doubt that. If it doesn't exist here, its new there, too.
@@eewilson9835 typo sorry
@@danielnichols7817 I am a bot.
My dream house!!!
Elle est magnifique ❤❤
I pray that horrible Tuckpointing is not concrete. They’ve destroyed the outside of this house but the inside is lovely.❤
We didn’t inspect terribly closely because of limited time but neither of us thought it looked like Portland cement. Laine suspects some paint had been removed but it didn’t have the normal look of a bad Portland tuck pointing job.
I agree! It amazes me how many people think re-pointing with concrete is a good idea! It’s always a disaster, only lime mortar should ever be used, and by a qualified mason with experience.🙂
Not sure what the problem was with the brick exterior, but it does need some professional work.
I've never seen a more beautiful house...and it's a B&B, and it was for sale so take a look, buy or book! Love this channel.
Really appreciate your enthusiasm and passion for these gorgeous, old houses. You’ve got a great eye for the little details. This MS house leaves me speechless.
That wardrobe is absolutely stunning !!!!
So beautiful!!!
I would love if you could take us through American architecture and show some standout examples of each period.
This house is gorgeous! It makes one feel all fuzzy inside.
What a pity, that boy's father was very strict, - it's bad for children's development, health & happiness.
Sounds like he had a good and happy life. Dang at 90+ he was still getting a kick out of his secret! 😂😊
How gorgeous! Love the details and hidden gems 😊
Just beautiful
Omg, such beauty!
Fitting title. That ballroom KILLED ME.
Zillow has the house built in 1849 which is quite a significant mistake simply because a 154 yo house is enough work to keep up with and people might be put off by the additional 20 years added to its age. It also proves my point that realtors almost never have the correct build year for the houses they're selling unless it was built after 1990. That tells me 2 things usually, #1 they can't read deeds or any of the documents that they would have that had that info in them and #2 they aren't always interested in the history or beauty of these old homes. I live in Buffalo NY and the houses here are almost all over 100 years old. We have at least 5 large neighborhoods full of houses like this one, most were built between 1890-1910 and the rest around 1865-1880. And anyone with an eye for these types of homes can date them pretty easily. Yet when I look at listings for them they all have "1900" as the year built when many of them are obviously much older. Historic inaccuracies are a real problem for me.
The owners are certainly very much "interested in the history and beauty of this old house." The discrepancy lies with the house itself. As it stands today, it was completed in 1870. However, a portion of the house was salvaged from ruins left after the siege of Vicksburg, which ended in 1863. The portion that could be salvaged from that structure, was incorporated into the entire new home, which was completed in 1870. Therefore, the house is actually an 1870's remodel, using what was salvagable from the previous Greek Revival structure that was here prior to that, which was built in 1849. When listing a house, only 1 date can be used. Laine was correct when she used 1870, (the date it was completed) and the realtor was right when he listed 1849, (the older date of about 1/3 of the current structure) as both are technically correct. Please don't make assumptions. Laine only had so much time to devote to this video and could not go into every single detail about the history of the building of the house. She did an amazing job based on the information she was presented with.
I was wondering about that too. I know Laine knows her stuff, and don’t question what she says. You can also tell that this house is newer than the Zillow listing says definitely middle victorian.
This happened with my 1890 Victorian in California. They, for some unknown reason, date it to 1904 instead, the date of the sewer hookup. But, the cottage clearly was here for years before the sewer hookup, it’s obvious from how the drain plumbing was installed. I expect it used to discharge to the adjacent creek, there was only one bathroom with a toilet, tub and sink initially, and probably, a kitchen sink. An adjacent previous business, an abattoir of all horrible things, discharged its waste to the creek.🙂
Keeping those chandeliers dusted and clean must have been a full time job for someone.
Several people
That's a beautiful house. I Iive in louisville ky we have so many beautiful homes in old louisville.
Thx again for another FANTASTIC tour guys!!!
Stunning home.
Thank you
This is a beautiful house, it is history come alive inside
Finally, something worth watching!! Thanks guys. ❤
Beautiful home, if I were still traveling I would love to visit and stay there.
I’ve never been a huge fan of Eastlake anything (especially furniture, because it tends to lack curves, and I love beautiful curves both in architecture and furniture) but this house was stunning, nonetheless. Thanks for sharing-and I appreciated the beautiful music you chose to complement it. 😊
Another beautiful home, I don't know how you do it, I would want to purchase all of them!
Absolutely gorgeous details I love the stairs wow so beautiful and the Arch with the details too many to list how thrilling for you to actually be their❤❤❤
This is a beautiful home. Love all the detail. It's a work of art.
Looks like Ernest Buckels Jr.
I'm curious about something. There appear to be several places where sections of brick look to be of a different brick (most notably between the window and balcony door on the second floor.) There are definitive lines, almost like an original window or door was bricked up. Makes me wonder if there was some early (very early) renovation done. 🤔 It's beautiful, though. And it seems much bigger inside than it looks from the outside.
Twice the house went through extensive renovations, the first time in the 1950's and the second time in the 1970's. In the 1990's updates were made including the installation of a "modern" kitchen and an addition added to the back of the house for owner's quarters when it became a B&B. From the front, the house looks average sized, but it's very long. It's deceiving. The actual living space is about 9,000 square feet.
@JansenSchmidt from the video, the renovations look seamless. Plasterwork, molding, etc., don't look to be disturbed. If it wasn't for the lines in the brick, I wouldn't have known. And I could tell the house was long, but even looking at the front of the house you'd think the individual rooms would be smaller. Then you walk in and it's like the TARDIS: bigger on the inside. Lol.
Beautiful home!❤️
Thank you for your wonderful channel. I get some great ideas from you Kevin & Lane.
I love all the colorful art!
Beautiful lanterns on the mantle
