What happened to Nate?

[@ThisHouse]

@@sarahgarcia1583 he has been experiencing some medical complications. We are hoping to be able to feature him for another segment when he is better.

Loved this video. This area seems so much like my area on the North Side of Pittsburgh, PA Very similar houses in the "Mexican War Streets", "Allegheny West" & "Manchester" sections of the North Side especially.

Thanks Nathan.

Harris Row’s 14 homes are simply beautiful! I love the colors of the facades!

[@workoutmom2b1g]

Great job Nathan!

[@crazynamehere6701]

So much history in this neighborhood!

[@33Donner77]

Beautiful historic homes, and of course it's worthwhile to go on your tours to get the full effect of a neighborhood.

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

Love these beautiful homes!

[@jamesslick4790]

"Harris row" looks like a lot of Victorian streets in Pittsburgh (especially on the North Side), the difference is in Pittsburgh the houses are usually attached with "breaks" only after 5 or 6 houses. In fact, MY house is this exact style and would fit right in this row if the houses were all "glued together". My house was built circa 1875 so, it fits that these are from 1870. The thing I have noticed by watching this channel is that the Victorian architecture in Pittsburgh seem to have more in common with St. Louis than it does with Philadelphia! It kind of makes sense after a thought: Despite being technically in the North East, Pittsburgh has more of a Midwest "vibe". Despite the silly sports rivalries, I feel more "at home" in Cleveland than I do in Philly.

Beautiful old homes. Thanks for the info. Watching you from the Southern Tier of the Catskill Mountains in Upstate New York USA

[@dewdrop3302]

Love to see the beautiful homes and hear all the history of the neighborhood and cities. Thanks again for the tour Nathan!

[@ourfloridagarden4191]

Nathan. You have so much knowledge of your area. It is so important that you are passing this on to future generations. Very cool.

[@bean1251]

Harris Teacher's College? I love the limestone retaining wall on the last house, that would be a child's delight to walk upon and jump off until the owner came out and told you to go home.

William Torrey Harris attended Yale for 2 years before coming to St. Louis and starting a career. And yes, that would certainly be a fun place for a child to jump around :)

Nathan does a nice serving of History in his Architectural, Builder, Resident, and Neighborhood History Biographies. *I'd like to assign Nathan several other Cities, "Would be Cities/Ports", and pre-Columbian Histories in the Midwest, Mississippi River Delta, and Tennessee/Kentucky/Illinois/Missouri Region of the USA.* An exchange of Perspectives on: History/Ancient History, Resources, and an effort to establish an Authentic Academic Audit of the Mainstream Academic Paradigm of History, and subsequent writing of the Authentic History using the "Standards of Science and Research" greatly interests me. *"Freedom is the Knowing of any subject, beyond Theories and Beliefs."* - Beth Bartlett

Who is responsible for the upkeep/maintenance of each row house? Can they use any color paint they like?Beautiful properties! Thank you Nathan

[@ThisHouse]

Those are great questions, we would assume that each owner is able to repaint their home using historically accurate colors. We will look into this and make sure to talk about neighborhood bylaws in an upcoming episode in the Lafayette Square series

[@ryanhilliard1620]

[@leonardmay4950]

How come you are not This House anymore?

[@stephenrichie4646]

I appreciate your work thanks. (I have to admit, it grates on my delicate ears to hear you refer to historical figures as “guys”) 😉

[@ThisHouse]

Thank you for your feedback! Part of our mission is to share history with folks of all age groups, hopefully our jargon doesn’t deter you!
