Gone With The Wind Mansion Interior.

[@nikkil764]

Every little girl growing up in the South dreamed of her own Tara. Such a beautiful home.

[@lightofthejul]

Sorry but 12 Oaks was not Scarlett’s home , her home was Tara ! 12 Oaks was the Wilks home !

[@JudyAmey]

Gone With The Wind is my favorite movie! I enjoyed this video about Twelve Oaks. I would love to see it in person…I will put it on my bucket list!

[@tommas2674]

yes, but how about My Fair Lady and It's a Wonderful Life,...?

[@CathyCorriher-jb1ot]

Beautiful Tara, Best movie ever. Thanks for sharing.

[@joanpellillo2981]

Even the Northern Girls love Tara too. I love visiting the south mansions. We can't change the past... But dream of that life of back where men cherish young women. Honor is everything.

[@margarettickle9659]

You got that dream part correct.

[@susanp.collins7834]

This is not about Tara. Tara and Twelve Oaks are two totally different houses!

[@deniseziebart1841]

Yes. Even the Northern girls dreamed and hoped for a beautiful white 4 column home. Grateful my dream came true.😊😊❤

I heard that a lot of the fixtures and fittings in the house during them film where originally taken from an old manor house in the UK near me, called Sutton Scarsdale Hall. The house is now dilapidated but was a very grand old mansion with lots of history built in 1729. I believe the fixtures/fittings are still in the US somewhere although not sure where.

[@butlercreek4583]

MGM had a massive sale of the movie props sometime in the 1970s which included the items used in the movie. A dealer in my area at time attended the event an was able to purchase several items that were in Scarlets bedroom scene. Every thing imaginable was sold including classic movie and TV props.

[@Reearl]

@@butlercreek4583 Maybe some of these items are not just props then and are a lot older and have more history than thought then.

[@Bella-gj6wc]

@@butlercreek4583I’m sure things went cheap too. 😢

The REAL Tara was just a saltbox farmhouse,far from grand. I've been there, Jonesboro I think.

[@moodypet8837]

Interesting

[@tracytuten5116]

Covington is my home town, this house is right off the main square. Strangely Gone With The Wind Is my Favorite Movie but didn't realize for along time this home was the idea behind what Ashleys was modeled after.

[@BellaHomesDecor]

Wow, that is exciting to live so closes to the home.😍

[@I.F1719]

Lucky you!

[@margarettickle9659]

My entire house would fit in the foyer of Twelve Oaks and I can't even clean that. 😊

The truth about the inspiration for Tara in Gone With the Wind the book is that there is no real one single house that inspired it. Margaret 'Peggy' Mitchell grew up on tales of families that had owned plantations that fell into ruin and hard times after the end of the Civil War. She lived in Atlanta where she wrote the book in her home but if you read her book; Tara, the O'Hara family home, is in Clayton County about 14 miles south of Atlanta, and closer to Jonesboro. Clayton County is a real location but no one home there resembles Tara or Twelve Oaks (the Wilkes plantation). All we see in the movie is fantasy made up concepts of what plantations were imagined or supposed to have looked like. They resemble the plantation houses in Natchez Mississippi. The homes in Clayton County are simple and not as ostentatious as the ones in Natchez; or as found in parts of Louisiana outside of New Orleans or South Carolina/North Carolina. There is a Jonesboro house that was built and designed to resemble the Tara in the movie but is not the house that inspired Tara because Margaret made it up. Georgia was very rural mostly countryside; with smaller homes; and the bigger fancier houses were in the cities of Savannah and Atlanta. The images in this video appear to be AI or magazine photos of interiors. None of them represent any real house that exists and did not at all inspire Tara.

[@marie-anneconde5296]

Quite right! I recommend everyone to read Margaret Mitchell-biography "The Road to Tara", written by Anne Edward, where you will get the whole truth about Mitchells family story and what inspired her to this masterpiece.

[@jacky3580]

Some of these scenes are Aunt Pettie’s house in Atlanta.

[@tlw1950]

Aunt Pittypat aka Aunt Pitty

It surprised me one day to realize a lot of the detail elements in old homes were built the same way they are today. You can walk the aisles of Home Depot, Lowes, etc. and choose materials for your staircase, windows, doors, flooring, wood trim, electric & lighting, appliances, roofing, porches & decks & stairs & garage & cement work & exterior stonework & paving. You can also look thru manufacturer online catalogs at the stores for custom orders. One day I noticed an old home for sale near me has the same interior staircase as my stepfather's old house. That's when it dawned on me builders back then were just buying materials at hardware stores same as we do today. After finding so many old books over the years that have detailed plans & instructions for how to make Greek revival wood details for homes of that era, I thought all old homes & all their details were hand made. Perhaps some are. Certainly a lot were made the same as our homes today just using materials mass produced by manufacturers or custom ordered from them. Architectural styles are ever changing like everything else.

[@totallydomestic433]

This movie put spiral staircases on the map. I have always wanted one after seeing Gone With The Wind.

[@carlajenkins1990]

The staircases represent going from one state of mind to another.

[@sallymorris5633]

Replacing the "wavy glass" in the windows was a massive mistake. The took a great deal of the character and authenticity out of the house. What a putz.

[@libertygiveme1987]

@sallymorris - My husband is a retired Glazier, and he would AGREE WITH YOU 100 PERCENT!!!!

[@stevenortiz2493]

I love how people get Tara and Twelve Oaks Confused

[@zulemaalamo4863]

Fabulous home ❤❤❤thank you

You are welcome 🥰

[@tommunyon2874]

Porches that wrap around to all sides are referred to as a veranda.

[@libertygiveme1987]

@tommunyon2874 - Well I'll be!!!! I ALWAYS referred to them as "WRAP AROUND PORCHES!!!! Regardless, they are WONDERFUL!!!!

[@cherylhelly914]

[@RalphTanner-w8x]

The glass that was broken in the windows, was replaced with antique wavy glass not replaced with new glass

[@victorialewis5799]

Thank goodness!! I quit watching this video right after that because that would have been a crime. This home isn’t very historically accurate- at least the way this video presents it - and that’s fine. They just shouldn’t say it is.

[@maggiesue4825]

Replacing the "old wavy glass" was not wise.

[@jeanninegodwin2285]

Yes, this is very true! Replacing historic windows often takes away from the value of the house! Most people aren't aware of the value of historic windows!

[@katehenry2718]

I gasped when the speaker said "replaced the wavy glass". My old home had this glorious wavy glass and I loved it. New owners put in flat new glass. I nearly cried.

[@BellaHomesDecor]

😍

[@butterbeanqueen8148]

The old house I live in now has wavy glass in most rooms. I love it.

[@catherinelee3298]

Stunning❤

[@BellaHomesDecor]

[@BusyBob6971]

there is very little accuracy here

[@thomascoffin4799]

you aren't showing the interiors as they would have been, but how they are after some decorator got her hands on the place.

[@lightofthejul]

Yes but what was the model for TARA ?

The stair hall in the movie was larger than the entire house of 12 Oaks

[@jeffpagan7735]

Read the book, Tara was added on to over the years.

[@markwriter2698]

I thought Tara was a prop at RKO studios. Lucile Ball talked about it when Desilu bought them out.

[@tracytuten5116]

They were props! The look of this home was used for the movie, not the actual house.

[@mariadelcarmenrouco8014]

Amoooo esta peli adoro la mansion

[@TinaMelvinVelez]

The real house looks nothing like this home, the real home is in Jonesboro Georgia on the corner of Carriage rd and Jonesboro rd. I know this because I lived down the street from the real home on the Carnes plantation. The Carnes family are also in the movie!

[@ABeautfulMess]

I went with my mother in 70s..oh im going to cry...if i remember correctly only the library scene was actually used..

[@BellaHomesDecor]

🥰 So sweet don't cry.

[@Kokkoz6]

Thanks for great film. You’ve included two interiors that are actually from Scarlet’s Aunt Pittypat’s house which is set in Atlanta. The first is Scarlet in the full deep red skirt with white top. She has seen Ashley return to the war. The staircase in that “house” goes straight up. The second one is in the parlour (English spelling) of the same house. Scarlet is trying on a bonnet (with green ribbons) which Rhett has brought back from Paris. I was interested in learning that Mitchell that had recommended the house to Selznick because subsequently she wrote that it was too grand for the rustic image of Georgia that she’d had in mind. Maybe though she was just referring to Selznick’s excesses although I think that it is v pretty.

[@margarettickle9659]

So beautiful but no air conditioning way back then? Nay, nay.

The scene with Scarlett in the big red velvet skirt standing at the foot of a staircase was in Atlanta, not at Tara or Twelve Oaks.

I can't stand the background music. It doesn't "go anywhere." it's just mindless tinkling. It would would have been much to play Tara's theme, the music composed for the movie.

Why are you showing photos of Tara at the beginning and some of the interior, while discussing and blending them with Twelve Oaks and then even Aunt Pittypat’s Atlanta house. Know your topic and stop using AI!! Lazy!
