I think I speak for everyone when I say that we need a series where Dan teaches us all everything he knows about what things are, why the way they are and why it matters. For example Dan talks a lot about certain trees and that’s how he knows it was a homesite. That’s great but why is it that tree specifically that we should look for when we are out exploring. He is such a wealth of knowledge, I would love to learn more about all that he knows.

[@sus8e462]

Always sad to see homes get to this state--but as a lover of salvaging old wood, I hope someone can (legally) pull out all the beautiful old wood (doors/trim/wall/ceiling etc) that can be reused to help restore another home!

[@dianewilson5516]

When they tore down the old Wolf Mansion in Clovis, CA, they did that. They took out the staircase and fireplace among other things. I was sad to see it torn down

[@jetmo2130]

You both have such an infectious love and respect for history, that your episodes are always interesting. Yes, worthy of a history show. Both of you!

[@jparker59able]

I love the sound of the approaching storm. I was born and raised in Central Florida and miss that sound very much. I would love to see more videos like this with Dan.

[@MsLibby]

LOVE this ! Please do more old houses like this with Mr. Dan! Thanks for all you do!

That bird would have been enough for me to say "that's it I'm done!!"😂😂

[@jimmieloge575]

Great stuff, gentlemen!!! Every time Mr. Dan accompanies Robert to some old cemetery or house, I learn so much, I feel like I'm back in college and Mr. Dan is the professor; of course Robert is the student who asks all the good questions, which Greatly enhance the learning experience!!! Thank You Mr. Dan and Robert!

[@kitcatsmom]

I really appreciate the detailed knowledge of building materials and styles shared in this. I also love his comment going upstairs, "do we need to make our presence known." I'm close to Gettysburg and have 2 interesting experiences staying at civil war hospitals. I don't know what it is, ghosts, memories, energy but it's real and I'm leaving it alone!

[@glennyork6800]

OMG if these walls, boards & fireplaces could talk? Great job guys. Simply amazing.

[@FinsMom]

It would be wonderful to find out about the family that lived there . Just to paint a better picture of the history of that house . Walking through the rooms makes me curious how life was like back in the 1800's there . Thank you Robert for bringing Dan and his plethora of knowledge !

[@Regina0964]

I would love to also know who lived there 1st and last and anyone in between, what a great find..

[@RoninAvenger]

That buzzard cracked me up, has that whole house to itself out of the rain lol

[@the_eternal_student]

I wish everyone lived in houses like this, but Mr. Dan's statement about the closet taxes is rather foreboding, since it will not be too long before people are living in closets. I loved the time you all took with the structural details, I loved seeing the wooden boards, best wishes.

[@shellydehart8217]

Your so right , this house was big. When you showed the two chimneys you could definitely see. So grateful for Dan n his wonderful knowledge. It’s heart breaking that someone decided to let this beauty at one time fall slowly to the ground. My thing is if your going to let it fall apart at least salvage what you can on the house. Someone already decided to take the stair balusters n the mantle probably took the tub too. So why not take the doors with those beautiful door knob n plates. Even much of the wood inside is salvageable. Just makes me sick to my stomach when I see this happening. Don’t forget to ask about the gas light in the one bdroom. I loved every minute of this video. So appreciate it Robert. ♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍

[@crowznest438]

It's interesting to see how the house was renovated so long ago, to accommodate the occupants. A lot of abandoned house content creators draw conclusions based on their modern interpretations, just not having any knowledge about how things were done back in the day. I poked my head up into an attic hole like that at 18:55 in a small 3 room house where I ended up living for awhile, and was (briefly) staring at a very large black snake looking back at me invading its territory. I enjoy your videos.

[@johnnyboyvan]

Reminds me that everything is temporary. We are too! I love you two exploring those grand old homes. Original houses were typically not too big.

[@luckylady7542]

Imagine the money, materials, and manpower (Craftsmanship using hand tools) it took too build this in 1840-1870 Very cool thanks for sharing!

[@chicochi3]

I'm thinking your builders may have been slaves in that period.

[@Regina0964]

@@chicochi3 and they where all very talented in their craftsmanship, and I'm sure they where treated very well and paid for all their work, not all slaves where ball and chained..

[@tinydancer867]

@@chicochi3 The laborer’s we’re the ONLY part that any slaves did during any building of anything back then. A lot of them back then didn’t even speak or understand English well if at all. The Actual Builders and Designer’s were the Plantation Owners themselves and they did all of the eloquent Craftsmanship on these homes themselves and they Hired Contractors to build 95% of the homes and again, the owner built a lot of their homes by their own two hands. They might have had the slaves carrying the wood and materials and holding them up and whatnot but that’s the extent of their involvement in building anything! These plantation owners spent a ton of their money on these homes, so they all hired Contractors, or even designed and built these homes themselves. The slaves mostly stayed in the fields or doing chores. Sorry to break it to you, but it’s very obvious that if slaves couldn’t even understand or read English well at all and couldn’t do math, then it would be impossible for them to actually build anything. So when y’all coloreds always claim that the slaves built this Country, that is NOT true whatsoever!!! They NEVER built anything but were just laborers that carried wood at the most for homes. They simply did NOT have any of the basic skills to even begin to build or craft or design anything bc they didn’t understand language here and weren’t educated at all. It was impossible, so not to be rude, but you should know the TRUTH of what really went down.. it’s pretty obvious to most, but apparently y’all think these slaves were educated, and knew how to do everything, when in fact they had never even read anything before coming here. So it’s impossible they built anything. Sorry.

[@susanoelschlaeger434]

Gentlemen, first off, great video on this little piece of Southern history...did y'all have a 3rd person on your house walk?? When u guys were checking out the upstairs bathroom & chatting about its possible origins, between the 43:33 & 43:38 on the video, is there someone in the bedroom behind Mr. Dan?! At first thought it was Mr. Dan's shadow, but u can see it @ the bathroom's doorframe; take a look behind his right shoulder & there's a black figure moving from right to left, then back to the right! Yikes! Was he with your crew, or somebody else?!😳Just curious what u see & if it was one of your crew back in that bedroom...without a flashlight for heaven's sake!!

[@janetjones7880]

[@mattieb7348]

Another great adventure. So glad you were blessed with cool breezes for the duration.The heat wave has been brutal. I always learn something from your videos. I just recently learned of the "closet tax" when visiting another grand old house, The House of the Seven Gables in Salem, Ma, It was built in the 1680's, I had no idea people in the 19th century were still paying that tax.So glad you received a second blessing with finding a date on the chimney. Very cool. It's terribly sad the house has fallen into such disrepair. Thank you for making a record of it. Happy Father's Day to you both.

[@donnaoglesby1278]

The House was again amazing, and such a shame it has fallen to ruin, and I have to admit that vulture was a bit of a shock! As Dan stated you could tell where old walls were originally and where it looked as it they covered a doorway, by the mantle on the top. I bet at one time it really was a beautiful home. Wondering if there are, in any historical society of that area, or in the land deeds office, there MIGHT be an old picture of it from back in the day. Wondering, when the County Offices started to keep building plans records of homes. After our Mortgage is paid off, I would like to get the plans of OUR home, to have them.

That is an amazing house, and that storm was the perfect backdrop. It rumbled non stop the whole video.

[@chrissytaylor5690]

That house originally did have a center hallway plan with a dining room on the right and probably the parlor on the left. They walled up the opening at the end of the hallway when they took out the wall in the dining room. Also those back rooms on the first floor have the original 9-over-9 windows that would have been on that house when It was built. Looks very similar to plantation homes out here in Virginia that were built in around the 1840s......(Plantation Plain/Late Federal design) columns and dentil molding probably added during a partial Greek revival makeover pre or post Civil War.🙂

So very interesting! That’s exactly how my grandma’s old farmhouse looked inside-board walls and ceilings. I don’t remember what year the house was built in Covington County, MS, but she was born in 1880 and married young. The house is still there (unoccupied) as well as the old log barn. Now, my other grandma had a dog trot-style farmhouse. It also had board walls and ceilings. That one is no longer there but a couple of outbuildings are, as well as the old windmill. At about 50:30 in the video, where you are looking at the big window with what you thought was a transom, could that have been stained glass instead? That looks like a window in a house we used to live in that was built about 1930. The living room had a window about that size, single pane, did not open/close, and had stained glass above. Sone hones in the area had stained glass above and on either side. But this is in MN-not sure it was a thing in the South.
