As a carpenter in these modern times I can't imagine building this beautiful home with nothing more then hand tools. The old time builders were true craftsman.
Unfortunately, they were probably enslaved
@@wintersantiago2274 actually, they weren't. They were European carpenters.
@@KB-ke3fi Extremely talented.
The enslaved were craftsman. Yes they were.
@@KB-ke3fi does it sound better to say the builders were European? How can you be so sure they were from Europe? Usually the slaves built the fine mansions their slave masters resided in.
The fact that these buildings were constructed without a single power tool completely fascinates me. Just old school mathematics and craftsmanship 😍
Slaves babygirl...SLAVES BUILT THAT HOUSE
@@amorrbaby8354 so if those slaves were paid , they wouldn't have been able to build that house? Lmao she's talking about the technology and the architecture not the hard labour, white builders in northern states were used to build mansions too
@@amorrbaby8354 Slaves? Many of these houses were crafted by White men, as were the blueprints.
The idea, the blueprint, and the mathematics and architecture are created by Europeans.
@@amorrbaby8354ctually the house was built by white men. Google the history of the house. Took me 5 seconds to look up. Do your research before jumping to conclusions.... oh and just an FYI slavery was practiced by every race on the planet multiple times over. So if your going to point the finger at one country do everyone a favor and point it at every country that's ever existed past and present. 99% of the work slaves did in america was field work not craftsmanship.
@@amorrbaby8354your point Is?
If I had $3,850,000 and more to spare, I absolutely would buy it. I LOVE old, historical, homes. ❤️ But, alas, tis but a dream.
i grew up at Brandon hall so thank you for this. I miss it but once my grandparents died I couldn't afford to keep it or make payments on it. My father chose to let it go out of the family. truth is if I had the money I would buy it back.
Beautiful home....
American history at it's finest.
As beautiful as this property is, I just could never live there in true happiness. I cant imagine some of the stories those walls would tell if only they could talk.
If the ground could talk.
As Chris Rock states it is selective outrage. What about the level of suffering that goes into the clothes that you wear or the slave labor that makes your Apple products? How much does that bother you?
@@mtngrl5859
Exactly! Most people don’t research to make sure everything they enjoy in life is ethically produced.
Nearly all races have been enslaved and suffered at some point in life-for most of history!
If we let our dark pasts rule us, we’d have little to enjoy, and those evil people from the past would literally be taking away our ability to enjoy the beauty from the past.
Why not focus on the _good_ of that era?! Not all the privileged people living on plantations were pro slavery. Many wives, children, etc spoke out. And many southern white people in general were against it and risked their lives to help blacks escape or hide. Those are amazing stories of courage and heroism. I like to focus on the good.
So do you live in America? YOu know Amercia had legal slavery so using your same logic how could you live in Amercia. See your virtue signaling was not thought out well.
exactly especially fanning someone for hours so they can be cool
That cat in the beginning 2:37 looking at something and then jumping back was priceless! Also so glad to hear that remarkable story at the end!! Henrietta ... you go girl!!!
Now I want to know what the cat was batting at.
Yes!! I thought so too.
A spirit
Probably a lizard.
@@OGwiseog lol 🧑🎄⛄🎄👍
Even as someone who had slave ancestors, these places are so rich in our history they must be preserved! These places tell the story of our great country and those who made it what it is today! Wow, wish I could go around saving these places.
yep! I'm also black, and I visited Natchez last summer. Although lots of atrocities occurred there, the city is also steeped in rich black American history that is positive.
@@ahoneysuckle to be honest these homes are beautiful but what occurred on these lands to our people is beyond horrible it kind of overshadows the beauty or being able to really appreciate the beauty of these properties.
Indeed. Grand historic homes such as this are an important part of the country's history, they deserve to be kept up as museums. School children should all visit them, as German school children all visit the concentration camp ruins at Auschwitz. Historic homes like this are a testament to the slaves which built them rather than the owners which luxuriated in them. Such gorgeous places they built, I wish I could restore and preserve one myself.
Thank you for a constructive comment. Now day's most people want to be destructive of history. That house didn't or doesn't know the color of anyone's skin. It's not the house's fault what the past people did nor did it have any control over it.
@@victorious3926 I agree it was horrible. What has been done to my people was horrible too. I'm talking about the native americans. But one can't blame the property, it doesn't know skin color. Nor did it have any control over it. To continue living in the past , we will have a hate filled future.
So beautiful...but so sad to think of the extreme suffering happening in most of the lives of the people who came in contact with this home. How amazing all the care they took of this home, willing or not, may they rest in peace.
Thank you for your comment 🙏🏾
Terrible as it was, The souls who built the Pyramids had it worse, im sure. They had no ability to sue and win a legal case either.
@@mca4093 there are records that detail the workers who built the pyramids were paid, so ancient Egypt was actually more progressive than the slaveowning American South in that sense. Good job Egypt! Try again southern slavery apologists!
I'm so glad all that sad is in the past aren't you?
@@Tedbb1 if only it all was in the past! But white privilege wouldn't understand that 😕
One of my favorite American styles of house is ' The Plantation ' style. This one is exceptional. Very elegant and very well proportioned without being overdone or over stuffed. Beautiful.
This place is absolutely breathtaking !
Hollowed grounds ancestors worked and died there...May they rest in paradise 🙏🏼
I would buy it just to honor them
I would love to see a black family own this home. Tell any sad spirits that they are free and can go to heaven now. Also the Pucca fan needs to go I don't get good vibes from that. Lot of shady s*** that went down in the East Indies.
@@n.l.vannstallings4664 Troll, looking for attention.
It was a plantation for like 7 years I love how people see a home like this especially this particular one and just imagine generations of slave labor when it was literally 7 years. Everyone who came there was soon set free.
Well, talk to their African people who were happy to sell their own to the round up. Watch Thomas Sowell on Slavery - what the schools never taught (and how Roots was hype snd full of lies). This is very eye opening. Every person black white it whatever should watch this. It will straighten out history for us here who have been lied to since we entered our school system.
Wow! I wish I was a millionaire 😕 45 acres is right up my alley...I have 6 children who have blessed me with 13 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. Perfect place for me if I had the money....beautiful! God bless
I imagine the house originally was furnished more elaborately and without the carpet upstairs. I think the house itself is gorgeous.
I don’t like the carpet upstairs or those dead animals mounted everywhere.
Just lovely! But yes the estates of Natchez were at the time decorated at the height of Rococco Revival and many of them still are. My husband and I lived in Natchez and the landscape at Branden Hall is stunning as well.
@@kellymcfadden7514 I agree, that would have to go..And I wasn't a Fan (not pun intended) of that 'fly fan' over the table in the dining room. If I owned that home, it would come down and replace with a beautiful crystal chandelier. All in all the home is very beautiful and so in the grounds around it. They just don't make those old grand homes anymore. They could try, but it's not the real deal. Those grand old homes are one of a kind locked in with American history.
@@DD-hy1nl You know, I didn’t like the thoughts of it when she mentioned the slaves working it while they ate. I agree it would have to go. Sadly. 😥
@@kellymcfadden7514 I also agree with you on that. That thought did come to my mind and it annoyed me. 😠
I hope whoever is fortunate enough to purchase this beautiful period home will not close it to the public. This mansion is an absolute masterpiece. A work of art worthy of the world's finest museums. As one previous commenter mentioned the aspect of slavery it may be of interest to know that many of these antebellum mansions were designed and built primarily by black craftsmen who were in service to the property owners for whom they toiled. All of humankind owes a debt of gratitude to these men and the hands that built these homes.
I kinda doubt that many of these mansions were designed by black craftsmen. Where would they go to study design, in that time period? Not that they couldn't have learned to; if there was an opportunity available them..
@@rainbowranddy my thoughts exactly. They kept their slave uneducated and highly unlikely they designed or even helped build anything other than something extremely basic
@@rainbowranddy What I think he meant is they were the laborers- and skilled they absolutely were. Carpenters, glaziers, masoners, black smiths. They may not have drawn the design plans but they brought the plans to life.
@@rainbowranddy Oh, they were definitely NOT built by these mysterious “black craftsman”. Heck, the slaves didn’t even speak English or read. The Plantation owners did the planning and craftsmanship of these homes, and the slaves just did the simple labor. That’s all. So NO, we don’t need to praise the blacks for anything bc they didn’t do anything great for these homes. Not being mean, but it’s the truth. They only did the simple labor part, and all the rest was the Plantation owners doings.
@@tinydancer867 Enslaved black Americans did speak english lol. You sounds ridiculous. While maybe the planning was done by white architectures, the skilled labour aside from design was preformed by enslaved people.
When she said that it came fully furnished, I literally gasped out loud.
Laine this tour was absolutely incredible!! Thank you so much for honoring the stories "both beautiful and dark" THIS is how we talk about American architecture!
Thank you so so much Reagan!!!❤️❤️❤️
I agree, thank you for treating not only the plantation but the viewer respectfully by not turning this video into a hammer with which to verbally beat anyone who is white.
@@OurRestorationNation We live in Madison, MS. We have thought about buying a restored home. Do you have any listings near Madison? Thank you. This home is absolutely beautiful!
@@hsmd4533 That home was built on the backs of African Americans who were abused and destroyed by white Americans.
@@hsmd4533 Jesus Christ, it is so interesting how people like you who have these talking points are quick to call others snowflakes but are quick to presonalize conversations involving race. Yes, lets coddle the feelings of a population who holds almost 90% of the wealth, and until recently in US history has been intent on doing whatever possible to keep that inequality that going...ugh
Just watch the video and be quiet..
If I had the nearly $4 million dollars and wanted to live somewhere even more humid than Texas, this home in Natchez would be perfect. Stately done and kept true to its roots. I really appreciate that the rooms are not crammed full of furniture like so many historical homes are. Loved the shoo fly fan in the dining room, I saw that in another home somewhere. It struck me as rather odd that the grand stair case isn’t facing toward the front
So beautiful
Is Mississippi more humid than Florida?
People forget this home had slaves in and around it...Evil lived here.
@@acastrohowell yes, it is! Florida has the sea breeze, Mississippi doesn’t.
@@talentedcreole9340 seriously “kept true to its roots” hmmmmmmm
Thanks so much for talking about enslavement and the story about Henrietta, an amazing strong women. I am going to get the book.
I agree Laine is always so respectful and cognizant of our history.
Funny thing is that they never tell you in school who started the slave trade and benefitted from it. Dr. Tony Martin sets the record straight, though, if anyone is interested in the truth.
God bless everyone and Merry Christmas!
@@JamieSantos interesting… I looked him up. Thank you for bringing his views and literature on slavery to our attention.
@@gingermerriman569 Thank you and Merry Christmas!
@HardNFastNews. You are being servile to the fascist right, saying the words they order you to say. The choice is either our democratic republic or their fascism, marxism is no-one's goal here. They are lying to you about that and many other things. Oh, and get vaccinated so this nightmare can be over.
Just stunning. I've never seen so many "sitting areas" in my life. Chairs, benches, and couches EVERYwhere. 😳
This house is marvelous. It's interesting to see where they added bathrooms without spoiling the period ambiance of the place. Putting the kitchen in the basement and connecting it with a dumbwaiter makes sense!
@ Bob Roger's It makes sense only because they no longer have slaves more servants. In the old days that was the only way you got good from the basement to the dining/sitting/bedrooms upstairs.
I got married here and just seeing this. Brings back so many sweet memories. This will always be dear to my heart!
You should buy it. .precious memories. The furniture is gorgeous.
So sad 🫤🫤🫤
I could not live in or be married in a place of historic sadness such as that house. It would be like getting married at a concentration camp.
@@rosieposie9564 no one cares get married wherever you want
My husband and I spent our honeymoon at Brandon Hall. It is gorgeous and was such a treat. The owners were gracious and gave us a special tour of the attic. I'll always treasure our all too brief time there. One week is not enough time to spend in this beautiful city.
The video starts with a beautiful modern woman and continues with a graceful historical lady. Love seeing historical homes where owners appreciate their beauty and kept them maintained.
I love it. What makes me sad when I watch these is because I love them so much and I know there's very few left in the world there's so many that should be restored back to their original beauty.
Or burned 🔥 like the devils who owned, beat, raped and killed the slaves who didn't want to live on this plantation.
@@sweetkim303 Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug.
@@mattw337 ditto hunni ditto
@@sweetkim303 Throughout history, men have chosen to die than to be enslaved.
Those men believed there was more honor and dignity in death, than living on their knees as cowards.
WHY didn’t Black men do the same?
@@mattw337 You can’t overlook the facts. This beautiful home house sex traffickers who beat, kidnapped, raped and tortured other humans.
Just about every 5-6 months I come here to look again at this beautiful home. Having owned one much like it, I really love reliving the memory of my little ones running in circles though the living room, in to the hallway and through the parlor and squeezing between the parlor doors ( I usually kept them open just enough for them to sneak through- Oh the laughter! and great times they had) So very beautiful! So ornate and exotic. The antiques we filled it with were not quite so grand but just as lovely. The home we are renovating this time is not quite as large and lovely but the history is just as as amazing. I've moved from a Kentucky Railroad barons home to a home built well before the last one, this one in the late 1700's to very early 1800's in historic Virginia. I just love historical homes, especially when I can find one someone let go to almost waste and rebuild them to their former beauty.
You should post a blog or at least an update! How’s it going? I’ve restored one farmhouse & on my 2nd. I couldn’t imagine the challenge, frustration or expense at undertaking something such as this! Please let us know how your latest undertaking is going. Btw, I HAVE to ask…..anything haunted that you’ve lived in???
@@Joan, that is amazing, and _thank you_ for preserving history! We’d love updates!! 😊
Absolutely Stunning!! Builders today cannot compare to the ones back in the day. Today it’s all fast and mistakes galore, you have to keep an eye on everything bc the sloppy work done is not funny. It’s all about let’s get it done quickly and move on to the next. Quickly ok but rightly done.
Henrietta's reparations payment was peanuts for what she endured. I will read her book because her remarkable tenacity in the face of appallingly insurmountable odds contains a message of hope. Blessings, Miss Henrietta ✨
Such a shame.....she deserved better
I love your enthusiasm when you do a tour and your words and description are always perfect. Thanks for posting this beautiful plantation.
The landscape around the house is so beautiful and the house is so stately.
Hello Ann how are you doing today
It’s just gorgeous!!! I would love to have, but, it’s out of our price range! I would use decorations that were true to the time period, although they are hard to find. I love the story of Henrietta, but the part that I hated is how the plantation owners wrongly kept her. Her winning her suit, was the ultimate victory!
I'm in the process of restoring my family Jumbo , much fun hand carving the moldings. Love seeing Brandon Hall in all her glory. Great job.
This is like stepping back in time. Stunningly gorgeous 🤍✨
It is hard for this simple soul to imagine living in such an amazing home. Thank you for making this look inside possible. Love you two!! 💕
you'll get haunted by the past slaves trust me lol
The two of you do such an incredible job presenting these beautiful, historic homes. Natchez is a treasure trove of wonderful, grand homes and time capsules to the past.
That front porch entry way is beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
This presentation was framed especially well. I appreciated the sensitivity with which the tour begins, and the immediate acknowledgement of the property's history,
They just don't make homes like this anymore. I still love these style homes the most. The only reason I wouldn't buy it is that I could be haunted lol. Great showing!
I love how mansions then always had extra things like springhouses, a cement pond; such a wonderful era in mansions!
They would have had smokehouse for the meat and possibly a summer kitchen too, not to mention the outhouse!!
Laine I love how you describe and explain architecture.
Here’s to Henrietta Wood!!
Brave, intelligent American roll model!!!
Beautiful home. I love how large the bedrooms are.
Absolutely beautiful!!! I love older houses like this one. Thanks for explaining the fan in the dining room.
Just liked the Tara Plantation from" Gone with The Wind". I love the fan!
This is the same era with the
"Pride and Prejudice"
Gorgeous house, fantastic presentation! Thank you for sharing the property, and your wealth of knowledge with us. It reminds me of that lovely series “American Castles”.
Thank you for sharing this absolutely stunning home and the grounds are equally beautiful.
Magnificent, absolutely stunning!!
Reminds me of the ones I visited in Louisiana: graceful, elegant and steeped in history.
It's always nice to hear a part of history.
So appreciate the work y'all are doing in lil ole Natchez- it was the most glamorous small town in the 80's. Lots of oil money and grand parties. Not an empty store front. Hopefully it, Vicksburg and Port Gibson can make a comeback of reinvention of some sort- kudos to Tate Taylor as well for his work there!
What a great tour guide & what a great voice she has! Perfect! She could do audiobook reading with great success! This is great! Thank You!
Magnificent, gorgeous features, structure, art detail of moykding, banister, flooring which replicates the Era. Thanks for sharing this historical Era. Very beautiful and peaceful surroundings.
Hello Theresa how are you doing today
You both are incredible, love your updates & how you really care about preserving the history of the homes . Simply beautiful ❤️
What a masterpiece filled with history & bright, open spaces throughout...oh those floors alone are a treasure!
I hope the new owners have deep pockets and care for the property as tastefully and carefully as previous owners. It's gorgeous!
This is gorgeous and you all did a wonderful job showing the property. (Loved the 2 campeachy chairs in front hallway). Thank you!!
This is a stellar timepiece and the tour was fabulous. I would've liked to see behind the closed doors in the bedrooms and a glimpse at the servants stairs and kitchens.
Beautifully and respectfully restored and furnished. Another wonderful and educational tour of our history and architecture. You satisfy my soul with these wonderful properties and my brain with the architectural history and the history of our country. Does anyone else cry when they see these tours?
@ The restoration was done with respect to the original architecture. I was commenting on the structure and furnishings. That is what this channel is about, restoring old homes and the history of the architecture.
That medallion at 8:35 is something else! I think that is my one fave feature of this house.
I am from Natchez, Ms. So that makes me proud to see anything from my hometown on youtube nation wide...
Your presentations are always top quality. I really appreciate how informative they are. And, you look especially lovely BTW. Thank you, fine lady. Happy holidays to you and your kin.
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL TAKES ME BACK IN TIME ❤️
Breathtaking old home! If those walls could talk! No mention of ghosts, but I saw that Brandon Hall was first for USA today's list of "Mississippi Haunted Hotels"- I'm sure all of its spirits have their own Southern charm! What a wonderful Wedding venue too!
No doubt written by someone who never spent time there.
@@dps6198 It adds to its overall charm & character for sure!
I'm sure along with many other plantations of the time there were many hardships and struggle.
I can see all of those slaves in the yard and out back.This place does not have good spirits.
Was just thinking of slaves and ghosts when the video started. 😂
I love the Shoo fly fan!!!
a Beautiful, Amazing, Grand place! Excellent tour and pitch.
Esta casa es sumamente preciosa, en cuanto los detalles de interior, no tengo palabras para valorisarla, es increíble.
Thank you for starting off with explaining the slave quarters.
What a wonderful treat. You do such an excellent tour Lane, and Kevin did an amazing job filming.
Such a beautiful place , wow so much history.
It's very beautiful, and I'm glad Henrietta was awarded reparations. It couldn't give her back her freedom, but at least her kids were able to go to college.
The beauty and the hand work inside this house is breathtaking 🥰
Exquisite. Thank you for sharing and also recognizing its connection in the past to those who were enslaved.
Oh my....I can only imagine.....Thank you!
I love how spacious the rooms are. Beautiful property
Absolutely gorgeous & breathtaking! I sure wish all modern day constructions were built to last like they used to be.
We don't have any more old growth trees for that kind of solid construction.
These old homes were so very beautiful with all the carvings and etchings and lacy details! That's when they built houses worth building!
Absolutely Beautiful as was your presentation. Plantations are beautiful examples of Fabulous architecture. Visions of Loveliness.
It is so beautiful.
Incredibly beautiful and peaceful
The most beautiful workmanship and greatest history. It was a time of peace and harmony.
a picture is worth a thousand words...I will take the time to enjoy this thoroughly today
It's the only home on the Trace that has its own driveway from the Trace, although you can't use it, goes right by the family gravesite. The pond had Florida strain bass in it in the eighties. My friend was the overseer at that time.
Beautiful! Great job!
Out of all of the places I have ever viewed as far as plantation homes this has got to be the Most Precious of them all ❤,and Ty for the story of Henrietta,pay attention to the plantation homes that have fallen into disarray and the ones that are still standing in all of their splendor,like Brandon Hall,much to be said there! ❤Ty for your video
It is a beautiful home. Thank you for showing us through this video!
Originally from MS, this is one of many beautiful old homes around the state. This is one of the most beautiful ones that I have seen. Bet it takes a fortune to keep up. God's blessings. 💜
what a beautiful home. if walls could talk they would tell some amazing stories about this home. such a masterpiece, they just dont make them like this anymore. thanks for sharing
Wow Beautiful and the Filming on this was spectacular and Lane as usual well done.
How beautiful, just to think of all the people who have live in and walk the rooms of this home. The workman ship of all the moldings, the banister all of it is to for words. Thank You once again for showing it.
Barbara how are you doing today
Beautiful house! Great tour, Thank you.
That’s nice, my house was built in 1876 still has the original woodwork inside and out, I love the old houses,
Beautiful home! Love your outfit, Lane.
GORGEOUS! BEAUTIFUL! OUTSTANDING! INCREDIBLE!
Such a gorgeous house with such a scary and sad history.
What a beautiful home! ❤️ I love it!
So beautiful and the history!!💛💛💛
So beautiful!!
Even though nothing is original, I am thinking there might be some bad juju energy on the land. Respect for acknowledging the enslavement on this land. There are so many incredible details in this home.
Stunning!
Omg just seeing the initial picture took my breath away.
You had me at the driveway. It was magical
