Old victorian houses are beautiful, and much sought after. The problem is most are in areas where few people want to live.

[@zanna9857]

We have an 1890-1920(?) Queen Anne bedroom set. Tall boy dresser, dresser w/mirror, vanity w/mirror (missing stool) & 3/4 bed. It's in phenomenal shape except for some water damage on the top of the dresser from a leaky aquarium! We've been trying to sell it but I don't want to sell to anyone who will rip the hardware off & paint it w/black chalk paint! Thank you for loving, celebrating & protecting the history of these beautiful homes & the antiques that fill the inside!

[@p.mckenzie2921]

The bedroom set you have sounds wonderful. How lucky would you be to dust it and just look at it every day. My grandmother had a dressing table that was queen Anne, but when she died her son sold it, and the people painted it purple and it just broke my heart, have a good week.🤗

I am completely blown away by this magnificent house. I didn't believe houses like this one still were this intact. I know there were significant modifications done but look how much is left still as it was from 1870.

[@eewilson9835]

Correct, work installed into a new home, set in time, aged with love, and maintained with care. Much is almost as beautiful as it was in 1870, which would have a yard all around it to match, yet today, encroaching side lots and unsightly builds right up next to the property line leave the home rather boxy feeling and uninteresting to the people that could afford it, its overpriced.

It's always a good day when one of these tours includes features Laine has never seen before. :D Really a stunning place, where the Eastlake details are consistent and unique. That newell post is a special treat. Can you imagine that long ballroom with five chandeliers and those mirrors, all lit by candlelight? Be still my heart. Fun stories about the little boy who secretly 'defaced' part of his bedroom, and the well-kept outhouse. If I recall correctly, Vicksburg is not too far from Helena, AR, where your "Helen" house served as base for the Union army before the battle you mentioned. I loved seeing the photo you shared of the soldier's tents surrounding the house. Even when some modern updates are done, it's so wonderful to see all these historic homes preserved for the future.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

It’s beautiful. One little detail I would change: upgrade the modern, slotted heating register grills to period-appropriate design cast-iron ones. I did this in my Victorian cottage and it makes a big difference. I had to put endless coats of black paint on the cast iron, though, I wanted them to be easily rinsable, without rusting, because dust is a huge problem in my house. The area in front of the house has never been paved, it’s just dirt. I’m hoping to improve this soon, replacing my rotten wooden planter with a brick one, and putting in stamped, colored concrete paving to simulate gray/green slate, my exterior second trim color (can’t afford the real rock, it’s a large area).

[@lapsedluddite3381]

Excellent idea, those grills were a jarring note in an otherwise magnificent home.

[@aliannarodriguez1581]

Go with stamped asphalt instead of stamped concrete. Oddly enough, the former looks far more authentic and it has a non-slip texture and stays cool even in full sun. On the other hand, every real life installation of stamped concrete I have ever seen looked incredibly cheesy. Like something you would see at a really cheap amusement park. Just be sure you get a good company doing the install on the asphalt though, it’s precision work.

[@mattterranova2654]

Zillow has the house built in 1849 which is quite a significant mistake simply because a 154 yo house is enough work to keep up with and people might be put off by the additional 20 years added to its age. It also proves my point that realtors almost never have the correct build year for the houses they're selling unless it was built after 1990. That tells me 2 things usually, #1 they can't read deeds or any of the documents that they would have that had that info in them and #2 they aren't always interested in the history or beauty of these old homes. I live in Buffalo NY and the houses here are almost all over 100 years old. We have at least 5 large neighborhoods full of houses like this one, most were built between 1890-1910 and the rest around 1865-1880. And anyone with an eye for these types of homes can date them pretty easily. Yet when I look at listings for them they all have "1900" as the year built when many of them are obviously much older. Historic inaccuracies are a real problem for me.

[@JansenSchmidt]

The owners are certainly very much "interested in the history and beauty of this old house." The discrepancy lies with the house itself. As it stands today, it was completed in 1870. However, a portion of the house was salvaged from ruins left after the siege of Vicksburg, which ended in 1863. The portion that could be salvaged from that structure, was incorporated into the entire new home, which was completed in 1870. Therefore, the house is actually an 1870's remodel, using what was salvagable from the previous Greek Revival structure that was here prior to that, which was built in 1849. When listing a house, only 1 date can be used. Laine was correct when she used 1870, (the date it was completed) and the realtor was right when he listed 1849, (the older date of about 1/3 of the current structure) as both are technically correct. Please don't make assumptions. Laine only had so much time to devote to this video and could not go into every single detail about the history of the building of the house. She did an amazing job based on the information she was presented with.

[@melissagm235]

I was wondering about that too. I know Laine knows her stuff, and don’t question what she says. You can also tell that this house is newer than the Zillow listing says definitely middle victorian.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

This happened with my 1890 Victorian in California. They, for some unknown reason, date it to 1904 instead, the date of the sewer hookup. But, the cottage clearly was here for years before the sewer hookup, it’s obvious from how the drain plumbing was installed. I expect it used to discharge to the adjacent creek, there was only one bathroom with a toilet, tub and sink initially, and probably, a kitchen sink. An adjacent previous business, an abattoir of all horrible things, discharged its waste to the creek.🙂
