Keep posting these aswome videos an we see you in something historic soon !

[@reneestaples4963]

I LOVE older homes !! Each house has it's own personality !! Newly built homes lack the individuality.

[@ink5665]

So funny story, we just closed on this house 1/13

[@jen8491]

Beautiful house. If I could get a "yes" from my husband I would buy it. You don't find homes like this in California. I had to laugh when you said " at least there is no wisteria" because I was thinking the exact same thing 😂. Great video Robert 👍.

[@Waiting_777]

Jen, I’m a California native. I have lived in NC and SC. Went back to Cali and it’s horrible. Now moving on to Virginia. Home of my paternal side’s ancestors. I hope the hubby says yes. Mine is already packing.

[@jacquelinenoble6640]

What a beautiful house. Makes me excited for The Byrd House. 🙂

[@pattimessenger6214]

This house makes me even more excited to see your old Byrd Farm fixed up! As you were going through, I was imagining you going through your own rejuvenated farm house!

[@SondraD7676]

That was a wonderful tour! You have a great eye for detail. Nothing says a marvelous old house like original wood floors that creak...and it is the sound of "home." I am all for putting a porch swing up. The property is just beautiful, like a Geogia dream. Just 700 or so to go, for 100K!!

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

I’ve got a porch swing for the Byrd house… one day!!

[@WhispersFromTheDark]

Beautiful old house. They made them back then to last...and this is a tribute to their work and craftsmanship that it is still standing and loved.

[@LitlPoot]

that was fun !!!! what a beautiful farmhouse - so many possibilities to bring it back and make it shine - just like the Old Byrd Farm !!! thanks for taking us along for the tour ...

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

For sure!! Thank you!

[@tashasmith6179]

I love the tall ceilings and the wood floors but me personally I would not have changed the original inside of it. I love how they were made back in the day 🙂 especially the breeze way that went straight down the middle of the house. ❤️ You could open the front and back doors to see either yard. I wonder if houses could be built that way again 🤔

[@pamelasinclair-karney8856]

I like, love this house in the beautiful country. Thank you for the tour. Awesome

[@annettefindlay8076]

Very similar to our old houses in New Zealand. We call them villa’s. Beautiful!❤️

[@kathyflorcruz552]

I hope whomever buys it retains what's left of the original house. Needs lots of period restoration, including that cool front door with the bell. I wonder if the glass is still in the transom areas too. Neat place!!

[@ink5665]

We actually just closed on it 1/13! The front door is our first project outside of general maintenance - it needs a new pane of glass in the center anyway - the transom glass is not there still above the front door sadly - but our community glass workshop is going to work with us to do a period appropriate stained glass! There's a lot else to work on of course😂

[@cindykaye3152]

@@ink5665 Congratulations on your new home! Lots of house to work with there. So glad to hear you'll be restoring some original features! What a fun project!

[@jomama5186]

Awesome video. Love that you include a home's history. It makes these videos so much more meaningful. That's why I subscribe to you. And you always do such a beautiful job making them 🙏❤

[@Mari-B]

Beautiful old home! If those walls could talk!

[@shelbychambers307]

Beautiful house and nice area you can see the old south. Peaceful

[@robertforrest7956]

One place I lived at that was built around 1920 was lath and plaster walls, and for insulation was Rice Hulls, cheap and easy to get here in northern California. The apartments were actually former guest quarters for the performers at the Senator Theater, each one self contained kitchen and bath. I installed an overhead loft as my bed area since ceilings were 16 feet high. Access to theater, central corridor like at a hotel to all apts. Overlooked downtown Chico. Really enjoyed living there even if it was "haunted". 😅

[@decembergem4598]

How interesting , thanks for sharing.

[@deniseoftedahl8937]

What a neat home! I want a doorbell like that. Love the high ceilings and real wood floors. So much potential! Thank you for the tour!

[@freckles3705]

This reminds me of my house I owned for 18 years. Breeze way front to back with 3 bedrooms/1bath on left and living room/formal dining room/kitchen/canning room on right with plaster walls, beadboard ceilings, hardwood floors, three fireplaces, full attic, weighted windows and true 2x10/2x4 joist. I miss that home. But would not give that much for it because it needs lots of work.

[@traceym.8680]

Very pretty little house...

[@lindsaymacpherson8782]

Love the house but needs a bit of love Glad you got to see it Robert as shows what you can also do hopefully soon :) Great video Thankyou

[@jomama5186]

I LOVE this little house. It is perfect and precious!

[@MillerMeteor74]

I find the layout of that house to be totally strange, and confusing too. I'm totally not familiar with houses like that one. My grandfather's farm house, which we always thought was built around 1900, was a standard side-hall, front gable, two story house. But my grandparents moved out in 1988, and when the farm was sold, the buyer only wanted it for the land, so the house and all the outbuildings were all demolished. It was so sad.

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

That is very sad!

[@melissadyche8325]

It’s amazing how beautiful and well taken care of house and probably a lot of history in that old house

[@eringemini7091]

Aloha Robert! What a beautiful BIG solid old old home! Built to last at least 100 more years !ove it! They don't make them like they used to!

[@danhutson3460]

I hate to be a downer, but whoever buys this old house will have to put a good deal of money into it, as it needs several things to bring back to life. If I had the bucks, it would be fun to restore it. It has been added to so much, I got lost during the tour. Thanks for sharing Robert! I always enjoy your videos.

[@hell0hkitty]

they didn't preserve it at all. so patched up and painted over.

[@cornerstone403]

Every old home takes lots of money to save. Downside of loving and saving old homes.

[@cclyon]

If it's the right house for the right price that's not a problem.

[@bigrichc8265]

Wow you must be an expert know it all

[@dscobellusa]

What a pretty property. I love old houses.

[@decembergem4598]

Thank you Robert for the tour. 👍 I love seeing this historic home.❤🇨🇦

[@decembergem4598]

You sure couldn't buy a historic home any where in 🇨🇦 for that kind of money. It could be falling down and they would charge 5 times that amount !

[@MagicMelodysMeadows]

Love old farm houses. Mine is a year older, built in 1902 by the Amish. There is a trick using the old doors, I still use skeleton keys to unlock my 2 front doors.

[@meltcmelinda4012]

This home is still alive and breathing. You could feel the people that once lived there from long ago and even today their walking up and down inside the home. Thanks Robert for the tour, I didn't hear price nor how one could reach anyone about the home. If I was younger and had the time and the Georgia heat below Atlanta could be swept away to cooler winds I'd live there, ghost and all.

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

$130k

[@roxyevans3176]

I could just imagine taking it back in time. With a few modern conviences. Beautiful

[@rachelmalkoski4627]

Beautiful home. Thanks for the tour.

[@jeffjohnson4015]

Wow what a great old farm and so well kept up. That's what the old Byrd Farm will look like when you are done

[@yarnhappykim9294]

Absolutely amazing, they look a little bit alike, but still very amazing

[@sharonbartlett4307]

Very interesting house. Thanks for sharing. Have a blessed day.

[@lisab2406]

Great video Robert, I loved the tour of this home... Definately my type of house. So many beautiful features within it... Id love to restore those fireplaces back to original condition

[@crashlana]

Thanks for taking us along.

[@SandyD2022]

Beautiful house and no wisteria.

[@jeanettedegarmo9722]

Love this house

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

Me too.

[@jeanburgin160]

This is lovely ... So glad you shared it.

[@daxxydog5777]

I’m just impressed with the number of closets!

[@melissadyche8325]

Thank you for sharing this Robert

[@janedmn]

Wow! N3ver seen so many doors!

[@peggywilson9929]

One day Robert your ol Byrd farm will look as good ❣️❣️

[@rescuelady4678]

This is a very good video . Thank you for taking us on this tour. I would love to have this beautiful old home. God bless. 🌺🐾

[@corinnerenshaw3621]

It gives you a good idea for your porch and etc.

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

Yup

[@MiJacFan1]

I follow this fellow here on KZbin who is restoring an 1890 2nd Empire mansard. He is so passionate about his work and the history that is behind the house. He wants to restore it back to it's original beauty, which has included massive amounts of paint stripping. He is currently rewiring, and that is taking lots of work. He is out of STL, MO.

[@shellydehart8217]

That was a cool house but unfortunately it’s a shame the way they chopped it up n adding that one wall, dropping the ceilings that the transit windows are covered. That just breaks my heart to see them do that. Can say it’s great seeing those beautiful wooden floors. That one room that they added a wall to. The wood as walls look like 70ty panels n someone decided to paint them. If I could I’d buy it n put back to all the original that I could. The property is beautiful. I would make me a great flower garden on it. Thanks to Hank for letting Robert show it to us n thank you Robert for sharing. ♥️♥️😊👍👍

[@hottown]

Such a lovely old home!

[@brendakrieger7000]

Appreciate you sharing this location

[@markhinr]

The house is classic Greek Revival style which was popular 1840s through 1870s so the 1903 date is more likely the date of an addition or major alterations to the original house. The front door is Victorian style so an early "modernization" also prior to 1903. Too bad it's had so many "modern " improvements over the years.

[@jamiecampbell3068]

Neat part of those porch windows .. my uncle's house, in Savannah, originally had floor to ceilings .. swinging glass doors. That were very narrow. Similar window replacement as this house. Cool part was, the original doors, minus half its glass survived. Otherwise we would have had not a clue.

[@agnesfenelon2991]

Hi i was waiting when i will be seeing your house wow it looks so different

[@Waiting_777]

My mom’s companion was a Griffin. They are from Arkansas, who knows where the ancestors are from. Beautiful homesite.

[@sharonlegnon7411]

I love the older homes. They have a lot of character too. I don't believe there is insulation in the outside walls. Some WD40 will fix that front door bell right up. ;)

[@DeepSouthTechie]

These old homes not having insulation is the main reason why we still get to enjoy them today. Most modern homes can collect moisture in the walls from condensation that forms from heating and cooling, this moisture over time rots the wood and can even develop into damaging mold in the walls. By being drafty and without a barrier that can trap moisture they quickly dry out and this helps to preserve the wood for generations.

[@bettyfletcher6489]

Beautiful home

[@wheelervette]

POOR LITTLE PUPPY 🐶

[@Whocares.........]

Well done!

[@lisasmith7854]

Love it

[@VeraVeronica39]

Holy moly! Last night I dreamt I was talking to someone about bead board in an old house… and am just watching this video now 😱😃

[@christophermorton7294]

Nice! We had 1913 small farmhouse we sold last march 2020

[@reneestaples4963]

The older homes had the ceilings dropped down to conserve heat and energy. Some even included insulation.

[@MrJeep75]

Tall ceiling were to keep the home cool in the summer

[@73beetle19]

I remember in the 70’s a lot of people were putting in the drop ceilings to heat their homes easier. The energy crises of the seventies when we had Jimmy Carter.

[@clarencewagner1278]

Nice hair cut brother!

[@donaldmalak8261]

Sweet home 👍👍

[@johnpeters1441]

You should visit Buffalo NY, we have many old homes built before and during the reconstruction period.

[@teresapaskell5459]

Lovely 🇬🇧

[@willemvdspek]

we still looking where to live but we can,t buy it,even tho,i really would..beautiful house! if they would have rent it,i would do it!

[@cariemorgangraff4829]

Love it love it

[@jefferygreer765]

I thought about something when you entered the kitchen saying this was a new add on was, back in the day the kitchen was not in the house as they are today. The kitchen was separate away from the main house because of heat and possibly a fire. Not sure this is the case of this house but my thought on it.

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

Yup, many old homes had detached kitchens. By this age it may have been in the house tho with wood stoves and all that.

[@ratmychloe5533]

Beutiful home

[@tacocin]

At 2:35, beside the fridge, that wooden cabinet is called a pie cabinet. It would be period correct for that house. Probably not original to the house but still period correct. Nice place but I noted close neighbors. I'd prefer more acreage like you and Aaron have.

[@raynonabohrer5624]

What a beautiful house. That was a great visit. HOW MUCH????

[@onthehill3381]

The poor dog left alone in that cage in the dark.

[@melvawages7143]

Robert, the one room had the real wood paneling that they painted over. Not the faux stuff. It was around in the 1970's but of course was more expensive so most people went for the cheaper crap. My mom had that put into her house. Now her house was one of those brick houses circa 1965, lol! she bought it in the late 1970's and added that to her den on one wall. Anyway, that is good quality paneling and worth keeping, it is coming up on being 50 years old, so vintage too. Although it does not have the charm of the beadboard we saw in the older part of the house had in some of the rooms, it is still nice. That house is such a mix match for sure the way they added it on, they did not try to match the original part of the house, but I wish both eras could be preserved somehow if it could be made to look more cohesive. Right now it just looks weird.

[@Amongusroblox3am]

My house 118 years old so yeah!

[@susanlawrence1315]

For an old home it has quite a bit of storage for that era.

[@joharmon2148]

I would love to have this house and bring it back, I have transom widows to replace the missing ones. Of course I'm poor so.....

[@ameliatoreson1590]

The drop ceilings need to go and I would bring it back to make it look more like of it's period .

[@andrewowens9382]

The house 🏠 all seems similar design in the south were they built because of the climate of the area 🤔 nice though how are you keep safe and well Andrew south wales uk 🇬🇧

[@Diwondermum]

YAY!! Just what l need and want! An awesome video! Thank you!

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!

[@sandrasmith8518]

Lots of bedrooms I saw at least 4

[@seashore2768]

Hi Robert, you didn’t say how much it was? Xxx

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

$130k I may have accidentally cut that … oops

[@stephaniesharkey3538]

And no wisteria to be had!!!!!!!

[@MrJeep75]

You should buy the place

[@MrJeep75]

My grandma house had a door bell hike that

[@adityaganjoomech]

Hi Robert, or in fact, anyone who knows: What is the difference between a farm and a plantation? One I can guess is of the scale of production. Please let me know the correct answer

[@heatherinparis]

I can't really say WHY but this house gives me a feeling of unease and creepy vibes. The whole interior seems to be chopped up and changed and added to poorly.

[@kathyflorcruz552]

It IS odd because the floorplan is so off. Confusing to me.

[@hell0hkitty]

i said the same thing lol haunted?

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

Weird, probably cuz it’s in the process of being left and moved out of. I like it tho!

[@michaellankford3381]

As always I life your shows! This is a great house. I’m curious what it’s listed for?

[@AdventuresIntoHistory]

130k

[@cclyon]

I'm trying so hard to find an old house in Georgia but I'm looking on the other side of the state from you. :/

[@jaycall2505]

Are there any architectural drawings that survived that you can compare with the present house?

[@sandrascott7026]

Barking dogs do not sell houses. Love your videos

[@jomama5186]

What a shame when the close up the fireplaces. They were put there for a reason. :( and the loss of the transoms is sad too. Darn!

[@lisasmith7854]

Can you give us a little hint on how much he's wanting for it I don't know if you said anything or not

[@joseleswopes1400]

Is the house still for sale and how much, does it have acreage with it 🌹😁😎

[@hell0hkitty]

this house is a mish mash, typical of the eighties when they chose to paint all the old woodwork and 'modernize' it. that will be a nightmare or a dream to fix up. who the heck put that little dog in a cage in a closet? the house gives me the creeps for some reason. imho!

[@MrJeep75]

Be cool to restore it back original

[@agnesfenelon2991]

How is your uncle who has a funny laugh

[@williamisch]

is that house still for Sale???

[@sharonjones1222]

How can I buy this house

[@burtonwillis6454]

What is the lot size?
