UPDATE: This home has sold! Come with us on the most amazing historic home tour we've taken you on yet. There is not a drop of DIY that needs to be done here. Nothing but history, gardens and luxury await you. Real Estate prices are insane across the country, but not in the South!
What kind of home can you get for sale just under 2 million dollars in the South? This 1800s Federal Era home is a piece of history- - soon to be designated as National Historic Landmark- in pristine condition. Referred to as ''Gloucester'' (glôstər), the estate, comprised of the mansion house, dependencies, dovecots and follies sits on 5.76 acres of land in the middle of historic Natchez and also includes its own cemetery which sits on an additional 2.28 acres across the street. The initial construction of Gloucester began in 1803. Gloucester was the home to the first Governor of the Mississippi territory, and the oldest of the Natchez mansions. The home consists of Scalamandre window treatments throughout, the oldest marble fireplace in the lower MS Valley, and the original summer kitchen perfectly intact from the time period. Gloucester is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Gloucester is as grand as the great estates of England, but for a fraction of the cost. Natchez Mississippi is a wonderful home town full of southern hospitality, charm and a fabulous vacation destination.

Wow. That's a dazzling mansion and in such pristine condition! So glad it's been taken care of for us to enjoy today. ❤
I just need to pause the video for a moment and say how much I appreciate that you say 'enslaved people' rather than 'slaves'. It makes it clear that this was something done TO them by enslavers, rather than just their state of being. It's a little touch, but it's so important.
I came here to say that. It’s an important distinction.
I'm glad you explained that. I would have never guessed that in order to be a slave, they must be enslaved. Such an important distinction that nobody under the second grade would have picked up on without you so eloquently pointing that out. Thank you so much!
@@bradclark2922 Well, I'm always glad to help the less fortunate, like yourself. So glad I could clear things up for you. Bless your heart, sugar.
@@bradclark2922 Well she had to do her virtue signaling
@@badasslove Thank you for once again proving that healthcare should be free and should include mental health.
How great it is to see Gloster Mansion again . I spent a lot of time there in the late 80's . At the time it belonged to Dr Harold Hawkins and H. Hal Garner . I was an employee of the Dr. I also meet Delta Burk and Gerald Mcraney there . Good times !
@@badasslove don't blame the house for the owners sins. The house had no choice in being built.
@@badasslove Oh god. Let me guess, the house is racist.
@@audrab27 Exactly.
@@Xposthmous ...someone playing the racis card, uhmmm.
Weird that you spent time there, but don't know the correct spelling (Gloucester.) I'm not trying to be rude, just seemed strange to me.
I live in Biloxi Mississippi and I have been to Natchez on vacation before to visit these homes in person. They are breathtakingly gorgeous! I wish we still made homes this way today!
Who could afford to build this way? Very few unfortunately.
@@Ukie88 Not now 🙄
Taxes would take it out of your hands. Then the state would own, be closed and deteriorate.
@@donnar.m.devore3218 On a smaller scale; more than you think! Huge homes are a waste because do we really go in most of the rooms every single day and use them? Less is more .
Same
The grandeur of this home is unfathomable! What a treat to see. Thank you for this beautiful tour🥰
I saw an abandoned mansion that was due to be demolished that had beautiful hand carved woodwork and beautiful fireplaces in every room.
Unbelievable that it is\was to be demolished. Inside would look better than this mansion. I think it's in Tennessee czcams.com/users/AbandonedNashville
Gorgeous home and piece of Southern history well-preserved. Restoration Nation never disappoints! Natchez is on my bucket list ❤.
It's, well worth spending several days in the area. There is so much to see from ancient mounds built by the Natchez "Indians," to American Revolutionary history, and, of course, and the history of the War Between the States.
Okay I’m obsessed with the black marble! That is a stunning material!! 😍
Natchez has so much to offer just in architecture. It is an American gem. Thank you for the walk through and the great explanations. Nice drone work too.
Amazing how huge this house is and how enormous the rooms were back then. Would love to go back in time and see how people lived here. …
I watched this video quite awhile back. But, it came up again in my feed, so I watched it again today. This mansion is so beautiful and so amazing with it's history. They just don't build them like this anymore. I find it fascinating how they built this home, with this much style and grace in architecture ... 220 yrs ago. Today it still stands and still looks amazing. I wish I had the money to purchase this, or something like it.
That would be the dream
This is a beautiful home. It should be respected for the piece of art and chapter in history that it is. Thank you for the tour and the history lesson.
@@badasslove The maintenance of a landed gentry has always relied upon the exploitation of the labor of the underclasses, it is a military class that earned its position not through labor but through war. If you do not have the strength of character necessary to subdue and assert your dominion over other men, to exploit their labor for your own benefit, then you are not worthy of such luxuries.
Your empathy and weakness is a cancer upon a civilization that was forged in the fires of war and the glories of conquest.
This historical home needs a loving family to live in, to maintain, and to enjoy it, over the long term.
It sold spring 2022 and has great new owners!
@@tammypack3028 Thanks! And we do LOVE it!!
Just a stunning piece of American history! Beautifully preserved, & appointed! I mean, you had me at Baccarat Crystal chandeliers! 😆 But seriously, thank you for a WONDERFUL video tour & information. What a LUCKY person to be ‘caretaker’ of this home & property! And very inexpensive compared to other areas of the country! Thanks Laine & Kevin - great job!!👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The owners decorated this beautiful house so tastefully. I can’t imagine trying to match the decor myself. Hop fully, they would be willing to part with some of the furniture for the new owners.
Stumbled upon your channel and I am LIVING for the tours
This is a beautiful picture into history. The house is so beautiful, and they did a wonderful job of mixing old with new in the kitchen and bathrooms. The whole time I was trying to picture people bustling in and out of the rooms. The woodwork is plainly beautiful as well. Gets a love from me!
@@badasslove wtf??
That is a lot of magnificence for the money! Thank you for a beautifully produced tour.
@@badasslove seethe harder
PBS needs to hire you guys for a documentary series on southern architecture!!!
It is just incredible to me that this house is not even two million dollars! It is a treasure! I would certainly hope that whoever buys it treats it as the treasure it is, and maintains the integrity of this timepiece! What a gem! Thank you, as always, for sharing this with us in such a respectful and professional way. You truly care about these wonderful homes, and it shows!
Wow. I am always impressed by these beautiful houses we have right here in the USA.
THANK YOU for showing the enslaved quarters/buildings and not shying away from this part of the home's history. You've done a magnificent job on the home.
Why would they need to shy away from anything? They aren't guilty of anything.
@@ednakelley814 Edna...you're a racist 🤗
@@ednakelley814 Nobody said that were guilty of anything! Sounds like your projecting. My immediate thought was ppl tend to shy away from it because it's an uncomfortable topic/part of history.
@@ednakelley814 You should ask them why they shy away. It's probably more due to discomfort than guilt. Either way, the full history of these properties should be told (and often isn't--glossed over, for the sake of "comfort").
@@charlesgibson7299 I agree the entire story should be told but a historic site can only tell what they know at that site. Most of the time there isnt even records of the names of the enslaved! I have seen historic sites that told the full story of slaves and people said "that's offensive and gloryifing slavery" .Then if a historic site "shys away", as you said, then they are accused of "whitewashing" slavery. So they are damn if they do and damned if they don't. You can't have it both ways.
This was an amazing tour; the filming is superb. I hope the right people purchase this wonder. We drove by this mansion in the mid 80's, while visiting Natchez, and it is so nice to see her interior. Thanks so much for this love Thursday morning treat.
I really like to experience a glimpse inside these gorgeous homes from the past, they are incredible. Thank you for bringing it to us! Have a blessed day. 😊
@@badasslove Oh how horrible it must be for you to be enslaved in that victim mentality mindset. That card is old and overplayed. There were Irish slaves, Italian slaves, and Chinese slaves not to mention what happened to the Jews. You are race baiting. It won’t work on me. Have a blessed day. 😊
@@badasslove by the way… I come here to enjoy looking at beautiful architecture and the wonderful people, Laine and her husband renovating these properties. It brings me joy in a world of chaos. Your poison is not welcome.
The furniture, the draperies, the woodwork!! So, so beautiful!!!
I love learning all about the families that lived in these beautiful homes!
Thank-you for showing this beautiful historic home. Your voice and storytelling is perfect. I love you in Christ. Hugs to you and Kevin.
It’s a very beautiful home. Thank you for the tour. You are a wonderful guide through these magnificent old buildings.🌸
Stunning! Thank you so much for this grand tour Laine and Kevin! I was picturing scenes from Sense and Sensibility playing out as we toured. ☺️ I truly wish built homes with this kind of character and beauty still.
...i love that movie, Sense AND sensibility.
I was also reminded of Jane Austen’s books too while watching this!
This place is insane. I was wondering if the rugs are Karastan, but from the lavish furnishings throughout, they’re probably Persians. I’m drooling over them, and that incredible garden. I can’t imagine the cost to maintain all this. Hope it gets a good owner.
By the way the filming of this video was superb.
Natchez has such a diverse collection of historic architecture and all of it quite close together. Gloucester is across the road from the most famous of Natchez buildings the unfinished Longwood and down the way from the grand cottage called Hawthorne Place. There are hundreds upon hundreds of such buildings all sitting amongst rolling hills and sunken roads with soaring vines and trailing moss, staggering bluffs and clear bayous. It's haunting.
The gardens are the jewels of this beauty. Thanks for the tour!
Beautiful. Beyond words.If only I could win the lottery.
Hello Laine and Kevin! Love this superb lady! And you are such a good host. Love your voice and enthusiasm for these treasures!
And Kevin’s video expertise. You guys make my day
Absolutely stunning.
Bathrooms yess bonussssssssss ... they updated but beautiful work
What an incredible home. Thanks for the tour, Laine! My appreciation for history and the architecture that housed it just continues to deepen as I learn from you.
@@badasslove Can I ask why you think this video celebrates slavery?
This is a beautiful home. I thought the arrangement of the dining room chairs was interesting. I have never seen that done before. Thank you for your explanations as to the different elements and styles ( the “windows” that could be raised for ventilation) inside the home. An elegant and beautiful treasure.
What a beautiful property! And if the ghost maid actually cleans, she would be welcome to stay 😂
Actually, it's the Housekeeper, and she would normally run the household staff, and run the household, for the owners. It would have been a big responsibility.
I am just in awe of this beautiful home. It’s furnishings and light fixtures are beyond gorgeous. That was such a special treat. Thank you 😊
Absolutely magnificent! Oh, that it were within my budget.
This tour was so fabulously done!! Loved every minute, gorgeous property!!
I sure did enjoy the view of this video. I was lost in time imagining how enslaved and residents went about their daily lives. Beautiful beautiful home. Back story is interesting as well👍🏾
This is a beautiful home blow me away . I love the history and the tour , New homes can't compare with these old home . thank for taking us along .
This house is truly stunning . Thank you so much Lane for giving us this tour . Each room is so beautiful and has so much history . .
My mother's family is from Natchez where she hosted during the Pilgrimage. She was familiar with these old homes, frequently going to parties at various homes, and even living in one briefly. I recall this one though never went inside.
Breathtakingly gorgeous mansion … I can’t imagine trying to keep the weeds at bay on the exquisite grounds! I think this is, by far, your best house tour. Loving it from PA.
I can just imagine a Tiara Tuesday in this house..🤣
Beautiful home and history. The style of this video is so relaxing and Laine, your voice is so soothing with your knowledge. Felt like I was walking with you. Just curious if the drone shot in the beginning was Kevin's?
Wow! Beautiful! The wealth is staggering !!!
I’m speechless. Magnificent.
Such a wonderful job!!! You could try to sell these to PBS...for real you do such a fantastic job!!!
WOWOWOW, just wow.
What a treasure, thanks so much for letting us follow along. It's a real beauty, bet all those in the house enjoyed the beauty and splendour on a daily basis...how sweet! Love it!!! 👍🏻❤️🥰
Unbelievable that a National Treasure like this could be bought for such a price. What a wonderful place to live in and raise a family. It has many Jeffersonian characteristics!
I really enjoy these curated vids. Knowing the history makes one appreciate the structures more fully. Compared with many other homes I see, this is a very good buy. Beautiful, and the gardens are outstanding!!
I could sit in that garden by the fountain for hours! So peaceful.
Beautiful, thank you. I have been to Natchez twice for our anniversary. WE LOVE it.
Although this home has many painful stories behind it, it is beautiful. The beauty of the architecture is impressive. Thank you for such a detailed tour.
To have a whole library to choose from before I go to the bathroom is a dream come true.
So beautiful, love social history and especially seeing how people lived in times gone by, fascinating and elegant xx
@@badasslove Bill Bill Bill you need to read more
This video is excellent and the soundtrack is on par with this beautiful home. Thank you for posting!
This is a grandiosely elegant, magnificent house! So gorgeous!❤️ And i also noticed your editing and filming getting better and better!😊
What a gorgeous property! The Harmon Blennerhassett you refer to was a native of Ireland and settled on an island in the Ohio River near Parkersburg, WV. The hone he built on the island burned but a reconstruction was created and is part of WV parks and open for tours. Love this vlog! Thank you.
Hello ! I’m from WV. Just 1 1/2 hours away from Parkersburg. I’ve visited Blennerhasset Island and when I heard Laine mention the name I wondered if it was same person. I remembered from the tour the story of his involvement with Aaron Burr. Thanks!
Such an beautiful house!! It’s giving me so many ideas for my dollhouse!
Greetings from Ontario Canada! What a beautiful home! Love your show.
What a beautiful home! Federal style isn’t my favorite, but I can appreciate the beauty of it. Thanks for sharing!
This is in the beginning of our great countries history an when it was built it was screaming to the world that America 🇺🇸 is here
The home is beautiful, and the tour was fascinating. I am surprised that it has a less than two-million-dollar price tag. I can't even imagine how much money it would take to maintain an estate like this.
this is the most beautiful home I have ever seen for this time period! I am in awe of it's beauty
By far - this is my favorite of all the homes.!!!!!
I love, love, LOVE Federal/Georgian architecture! It’s so elegant with its clean, simple lines and lack of fussiness. The 18th century and Federal style pieces of furniture are also very lovely. My dream house and furnishings would be exactly like this.
I know that your business is mainly restoring old homes, but would you ever consider taking a small group of old home enthusiasts like me on a 3 day (or longer) tour of these old homes built in and around a particular town or area? I live in the West, and so many of our architectural gems are being torn down every day to be replaced with strip malls, tacky apartment buildings and lots of parking lots.🤬 If a building is over 50 years old it’s considered to be ancient and ancient means “get rid of it ASAP!” Surely I’m not the only viewer on this channel that would love to go on such a tour. If you weren’t interested in such a thing do you know of organizations that do such tours?
Absolutely! We actually just hosted such a weekend here in Natchez! We’ll be doing it again in the winter, so be watching!
This property is so well maintained thank you for sharing it with us! I love “traveling” with you guys!
I’ve toured this home a few years ago. Absolute stunning and such great history to the home.
I wanted to ask if it was haunted, bc soooo many of these beauties are….How intriguing…..I would absolutely love to take a tour….❤️
What a gorgeous & historic home. Your videos are wonderful!
Love these tours and especially your attention to detail, makes me more observant 😎
Also, love the aerial shots 🛸
It's still looking very nice. Thanks for showing this old beauty.😀😁😃😄😁😀🥰😘
Once again you knocked it out of the park.
Just breath taking DREAM HOUSE!!!
Wow! What a gorgeous home...
Beautiful! Thank you Laine and Kevin.
The mix of modern with the traditional with this home leaves one breathless.....
Thank you, to see and hear all the history of this beautiful place.
Thank you for this wonderful look at American/Mississippi History
@@badasslove you are a sad sad person, what about the people who sold them? you have any thoughts about that? Get a life Bill.....
@@robinbriggs1517 ignore him. He is commenting the same thing over and over like a broken record
@@hillary96renteria82 yes I noticed that once I started looking at comments so he got a thumbs down one everyone of his comments from me!
That door/window in old dining room, is called a Jefferson window, because Thomas designed it.
Lane this video was AWESOME! You are so adept at tour and narrative. Great images and it was like being there. These videos are so enjoyable to watch.
So beautiful and well preserved!! Love it.
She is such a stunning lady. The grounds are spectacular. Beautiful job as always on the tour and architecture education.
Oh my gosh!!! It’s breathtaking
Thanks for sharing this beauty. I really appreciate your passion for the homes and their stories. If this was in my budget would choose hands down over a new build, seems like a good value with everything your getting. ❤️
I adore this house! Federal is my favorite. This does not disappoint. Your enthusiasm and knowledge is inspiring. ❤
You are so good at being the docent. You are multi talented. I would follow your tour anytime. 😍
The music selections for this video made this visual tour of the house so magical. 😍🎶 It reminded me of The Secret Garden. 💖
wow,2;42 to 2;52 you can see someone transparent walk past the window by the light on porch,wasnt expecting that and then you said its haunted,beautiful house,I Love the way you show everything,Amazing Channel
What an amazing home!! Thank you for taking us along! 💞
Thank you for the tour. I love the marble fireplace and the staircase in particular.
G’day Laine, thank you for showing this gorgeous property. I was surprised that the kitchen off that huge dining room was so small. I kept waiting for another larger one to appear! I guess with so many rooms another could be converted into a larger kitchen. I am looking forward to seeing you and Kevin doing some more work on Pearl. In the meantime take care and stay well. With love and best wishes from Down Under 😘💕🇦🇺
So fascinating! You do a beautiful job of presenting this amazing historic property.
Absolutely gorgeous like a French Chateau inside! Enjoyed very much from Texas!
Stunningly beautiful.
$1.99 Million seems like a bargain for this architectural masterpiece. Sadly, I'm a few million pennies short of the asking price!
I retired from a city in Southern CA where 3 bedroom, 2 bath houses on standard suburban lots in tract home areas go for over a million dollars. 10 years ago small condos were going for 900,000. incredible. Less than 2 million for this historic home, renovated, on almost 6 acres is an INCREDIBLE price! Congrats to whoever buys it! It's beautiful and with the added upgrades that make it modern to live in, it's a dream come true for the right person!
That’s just a few thousand dollars. You can do it!
@@kathleen3177 - well if you two keep blabbing they might decide to sell it for 4 million. Or ..who knows maybe 8
