Visit the Home of Molly Brown - Survivor Of The Titanic

[@MichelleB2b]

The were going to tear down this house to make a parking lot in 1970 until a group of 16 citizens of Denver came together to save it. I want to thank those citizens and extend my gratitude to their families. For if it were not for people stepping forward to save these incredible examples of architecture, we would not be able to enjoy these places to today.

[@windstorm1000]

+Michelle B these--and other committed citizens--all deserve a medal! thanks for pointing it out!!

[@Buisness1]

The same fate was about to happen to Madame C. J. Walker's home, until IT was saved in 1976. I'll assume by this same organization.

[@TheWriterWalker]

Michelle B, amen!

[@TheWriterWalker]

william alderman, I didn't know that.

[@pinkfreud62]

Amen. The U.S. is a young country compared to the rich history of Asia & Europe and I think we need to preserve all the history and our past as much as possible.

[@cliffedward]

Homes were works of art in those days. We've lost so much.

[@exaudi33]

You are so right, Cliffedward. A friend just bought a beautiful 1920 house and it so spacious and civilized. So gracious and serene. I could feel that, even in its empty state. It permeated me. People seem to have had respect for themselves in those days. Talk about better times and better people. Contrast it with the tacky, jerry-built MacMansion a cousin lives in. Dear God. Like comparing The Ritz to a Holiday Inn.

[@PerseusSagittarius]

cliffedward So true!

[@HobbyOrganist]

And today the architecture people rave over how fantastic these modern houses and Frank Lloyd Wright houses are and I'm looking at pictures of these things and they look like DENTAL OFFICES in a commercial business park or somehting, cold, sterile, nothing but flat ugly concrete and plain glass!

Why do people want to tear down everything? Houses and furniture back then was so beautiful. Even the cars back then were made to last, not the plastic cheap cars today that cost a fortune. The clothes, I could go on and on 🥰

[@austindreher2791]

Sadly for money

[@michimelody4036]

I love that Annapolis and Chestertown MD have homes before the 1900s. They are beautiful even if some of the ones in Chestertown have been used as apartments, the exterior is still beautiful. My mom's a realtor I love going into the old homes. They make me so happy.

[@mascara1777]

Because it can literally cost millions of dollars to restore, preserve, and revitalize old homes by removing mold, fixing wiring, etc. Do you want money taken out of your paycheck to fund every old home in the world? Donate your money to historic societies and you could help.

[@jimskenadore1791]

Everything goes in circles. I can see work of art homes coming back and especially simple automobiles that cost $6000 to make and $12,000 to buy.

[@nowandthennn]

The cars may be plastictoday, but today’s engines will last over 300 k mikes , unlike the old cars . The interior in the older cars was shot and after just a few years and falling down and the exterior paint on older cars faded in a few short years . Give me new any day for durability, but for looks I do like the older models . .

[@bellthandian]

Houses today are certainly NOT sturdier. For one, new homes build today use cheap plywood to start. There's not much to modern homes today that are built to last more than 50 years. I study architecture as a hobby and know a bit about building, coming from a family of builders. My grandfather build 4 homes for my family since the 40's. The last house we lived in build in 1959 was completely built out of cedar and thick beams that interlock. There is no cheap wood in the house or compressed wood board. The only downside to Victorians is plastered walls, but the framework is usually a lot more sturdy than standards today. Another good example is colonial period. Thicker beams with wooden peg (nails) that can pretty well withstand a small hurricane. I've seen a lot more of both types of houses with ample examples of sturdier than now architecture. Why do you think these homes are still standing after 130+ years? Because they were made to last, unlike cheap design today. Cookie cutter glorified cardboard boxes..

Another Survivor was Senior stewardess Violet Jessop. There is a book about her life called Titanic Survivor by John Maxtone Graham. She retired to Suffolk in UK where she lived out her days. My brother and sister in law bought her cottage in 2009 and absolutely loved it. Book is an interesting read

[@russbeverly7353]

When I watched the titanic movie at first I LOVED it and I studied all about it and now I cant stop thinking about the people that died and how much people did die the amount of people that died compared to the amount of people is CRAZY mean it doesnt matter that the deck would look crowded I understand it's a huge boat that people paid SO much to get on but like it just doesnt matter

[@russbeverly7353]

[@eileenbyrne1280]

[@kingwacky184]

She was a hero. The night Titanic sank she helped load lifeboats until she was talked into getting on lifeboat number 6. She then took an oar in the lifeboat she was in, after the ship had gone down she pushed on having the lifeboat go back for survivers. If the boat did is unclear some say it did some say it did not that she was told to shut up and sit down that the crewmember on the lifeboat did not want to risk the lifeboat sinking by people trying to get in it. And that hero she was is how she should always be remembered.

[@kingwacky184]

***** No I am taking that from internet research. Just search for Unsinkable Molly Brown and it will be all over the internet of her stories.

[@kingwacky184]

***** Are you really saying that all the true stories about her told by survivors is wrong? She was a hero and she tried to save people. Do not dare to destroy her image when survivors have talked of her bravery and compassion. They say she did those things so then she did.

[@kingwacky184]

***** It was on every site I have checked dude, unless people messed with every single one then I doubt it, also there is a documentary about Molly Brown that I have watched that tell her story and how survivors had talked about what she did. Look it up, unsinkable Molly Brown documentary

[@Gods2ndFavoriteBassPlyr]

+DJ. FOUR50 - I attended a private vocational school in Denver during the summer of 1994, and the school was virtually right across the street from the Brown Mansion. Some of us took the tour more than once during weekends and the information that King Wacky spoke of was provided on those tours, long before the movie came out. Maggie (as she was then known) wanted everything in her life well documented. She loved the attention. She was a bit of an eccentric, but her heart was in the right place and she appears to have done a LOT of good for not only Titanic survivors, but for the city of Denver as well.

[@StanleyPanda]

Wait did she really get told to shut up and sit down? I thought that was just in the movie

[@jamesr1703]

Kathy Bates bears an uncanny likeness to Molly Brown and was the perfect actress to portray her in the movie Titanic.

[@weaponofmassconstruction1940]

That house looks insanely cosy.

[@BatchelderPatrick]

It is cosy. People often mistakenly call such houses "mansions" like the ones the Vanderbilts put up in Newport. But this house was just considered a large place built by and for wealthy people and families. You can see many like it all over Denver and especially in an area called "Five Points" where they were once very desirable for the bourgeoisie of that era. They have survived as that part of Denver declined and has not been considered a desirable place to live for 75 or more years. Hopefully gentrification will bring those houses and the neighborhood back.

[@beverlyjean2237]

You mean, cozy ?

[@karenwesley1557]

I love Historic homes. There are many in the US and Canada. No Historic house should ever be torn down. Molly Brown's house is so gorgeous inside. This is the only way I will ever see it as It's not handi-capped accessible.

I am a Titanic junkie. I thought whoever did the casting for the movie did a brilliant job. Searching out actors to portray the real life passengers had to be a daunting task. Everything fell into place for this incredible jewel of a film to be made. It was genius to choose actors who resembled the passengers. They did a wonderful job. It's one of my favorite movies.

[@perpetualnotion7453]

+Missditabomb - Well assuming all Titanic stories are/were true, how many 12yr old females lived & went on to have children who had children so lacking in pride about their grandmother that they would write of her in such a way when they themselves would have to be close to being a 40yr-old woman (or man) themselves.

[@donnajolivet6026]

[@joannecott2540]

her first name was Ella Rowe but the family says she was under another name due to father abuse. she was on her way to live with a family. she was around 12 I believe. she survived the Titanic but died at age 32 when she gave birth to my mom...

[@Missditabomb]

Joanne cott Interesting. I have a book with the names of all survivors and all casualties. There could not have been that many 12-year-old females aboard. This is worth investigating.

[@ruthshelton1924]

I say,,,,GO FOR IT!!! Make your dresses & have fun ! Nothing wrong in being creative. I love to make doll houses & the little people for the houses. (With lighting ) I made a working 'movie theater' , of course the 'theater screen' was a DVD player. You make 'ground' & the little cars are on it, like the old drive in movies. There's a snack bar building. You have to slip out the DVD player & put the disk in, turn it on then slip it back under the ground & you just see the screen. I've made a pretty penny from selling them from time to time. Does that make me crazy? If so, it also makes me very happy.

Thank you for posting this video about the Molly Brown House. I use it as a tool to teach my grandkids about the lady who made her way home after the Titanic sank. My husbands family is also from Leadville Colorado.

We are the only Country in the World that thinks of tearing down such beautiful structures. Notice how many people flock to areas that are rich in history, Have a boulder that's over 2000 yrs old and has a history for some reason and people will visit it on vacation, but have a home like this and they want to put up a parking lot. Joni Mitchell's song was spot on when she wrote it.

not the only country. homes in japan typical lose all value by 20 years (or thereabouts) . they are then demolished and new ones built.

Civilizations have been tearing down buildings that no longer seem useful for millenia. Just look at how many abandoned castles there are in Europe. And the UK has torn down hundreds of old manor houses in the last century or so, to make way for entire streets of more modest homes.

A lovely delivery by this tour guide - I could listen to her for hours!

[@bellametallica]

That is incredible. I would love to see this in person one day.

We visited this beautiful historical home in 2014. If you’re ever in Denver don’t miss this tour! So interesting!

[@lidiakuhn6505]

I was in the house when I went to Denver. It is a great house, with great a antiques 👍

[@charlotteruse158]

Been there. I was obsessed with the Titanic disaster for as long as I remember. I insisted my mom and dad take me there when we were visiting my Grandma in Denver when I was about eight. I don't think I shut up about it for weeks after. Loved that house.

[@oracleangelsshiftall2609]

Wow!!! God bless the citizen's that saved this house!!! ❤❤❤

[@Blonde_Somnambulist]

So beautiful. My home here in U.K. is similar style having being built in 1890. It still has all its original features. I adore these old properties .

[@lejonfo]

Wow this was awesome. I love old history like this.

It is time our postal service honored Margaret Brown for all the wonderful things she did in her life. She was a caring and energetic personality something you don't see very often today.

[@pamelajudd]

Such a beautiful house,so happy they saved it

[@alans7811]

Nice homely house , would love to visit but a bit far away from Essex UK -- ( looks a bit like Norman Bates house ! 😨

[@forestnymphconfessions3596]

Why am I just now getting this recommended?! This was AWESOME! I enjoyed this so much, thank you for the upload!!❤❤❤

[@pinklightning6520]

And now in our homes we hang up useless pictures of aesthetic things to make our rooms look “aesthetic”, even though we don’t like it, they just do it to look trendy

[@heatherrue2655]

The people that wanted to tear down this beautiful historic home should be ashamed. The 1970s were an awful time for historic buildings. We lost so many all over the USA.

[@hippiedachshunds1632]

It's irritating that Margaret Brown's home is officially known as the "Molly Brown" House. She was never called Molly.

[@moonraker30]

Hippie Dachshunds Thank You!!! They didn't call her that until after she had died

[@loveablebubbaloo]

True!!! Just nicknamed that for the musical.

[@bun04y]

all of that is addressed on the tour. They even have the Debbie Reynolds movie playing on a loop off the back porch with other memorabilia from the musical & movie.

[@jasminan8041]

I like how things are spread in her bedroom as if she left them like this!! What a wonderful house, and these dresses..Gosh what a wonderful period she lived in!!

[@jazzmann1198]

Excellent presentation.Thank You DenverPost.

[@BentBeautyy]

When she said it was going to be knocked down I cringed and tears started to fall it's so beautiful

[@kacym.118]

Amazing how the real Molly Brown bears such a resemblance to Kathy Bates! Awesome home!

[@cherylullmann5603]

Thank You to all the people that saved this historic house.❤😊

In summer 1968, my brother lived a few blocks away, and I walked over and looked at the house from the outside. It was a private residence at the time and IIRC there were no signs indicating it was the Brown house. I remember stone sphinxes, not stone lions, in front, and I'm pretty sure those sphinxes had been there since the days Margaret bought them and put them there. I suppose they were sold off along with the interior items.

[@PetroniusArbiter2]

+Petronius Arbiter II -- On second viewing, it looks like at least one of the sphinxes is still there, clearly visible at 5:28 but better viewing angle would let you see the wings?

My family & I visited the house last July. It was AMAZING! I hope to visit again someday.
