House Tour: 1790 Linden Antebellum Home

[@kennethstuckey7823]

"Here's your cold plate; and your luggage is waiting outside!" 🤣🤣 Priceless! It is always refreshing to experience a tour guide (Mark) who tells the truth about a property and it's history....and the realities of the time period (good, bad or indifferent) without compromise. The house is interesting yet peaceful, and each addition compliments instead of complicates. It would be intriguing to visit Linden and stay in one of the B&B rooms overnight. Thank you Laine and Kevin for this wonderful tour of Linden!

That is cold.....

I have always wanted a back gallery area like that with part of my home on 3 sides, but a much smaller scale. ❤❤😊

[@OurRestorationNation]

They are wonderful!

[@SpanishEclectic]

Another wonderful treat! A very charming and well-informed host. While I love an ornate Victorian full of carved dark wood and stained glass, the simplicity and grace of these earlier homes really appeals to me. It feels 'light', and appropriate for the southern climate and sensibility. This is something I love about your channel and others that feature old homes; the practical and decorative history of how Americans lived, in different parts of the country. The decor in this home is perfectly balanced with the colors and sizes of the spaces. Very glad to see it is available as a B&B, so it will continue to be maintained, and preserved for the future. Just beautiful. :)

Beautiful property ❤ l love the history

[@hoppas77]

Excellent camera work! And, Wow! that was an amazing tour he did. I was sad when it ended. He's a natural! I wanted to hear about every room in that house.

[@joannewall5499]

So beautiful, loved hearing all the history too xxxx

[@sylviajones4907]

Love the back gallery too. So pretty. Thanks for the tour, Mark. Excellent video, Lane & Kevin.

[@kellyhensley7346]

Really enjoyed the tour & learning about the families that have owned this beautiful home over the many, many years!

[@carrierockwell2447]

Love seeing and learning about architectural history in homes across America. The one thing he said about the candles being lit, I do believe it was out of convenience rather than safety. I cannot image having to light and then blow out so many candles 😮 As always, thank you Laine and Kevin for your meticulous attention to detail in filming and knowledge and letting those who have the most knowledge take the lead. You both are so gracious and kind. ❤❤❤

[@davidolien2828]

Your programs are excellent and they keep improving. Thank you!

[@OurRestorationNation]

Glad you like them!

[@jefflawrentz1624]

Wow! That house is gorgeous and so well maintained. I enjoyed this very much!

[@tammypack3028]

Linden is such a special home! I'm so happy my husband and I were able to stay before Miss Jeannette Feltus passed. She loved Linden and was a true grand dame! Her daughter Marjorie and her husband David just continue making the place EVEN better. Wonderful tour Mark!

[@DisDutch]

We LOVE those historical anekdotes and etiquettes! Thank you guys!

[@infinitelightcouncil]

From Tara's door to Blanche's childhood home on The Golden Girls 😄

[@eric3374]

I knew this house looked familiar.

[@jobskinner833]

I love you!! A golden girls reference!😊

[@DancingPony1966-kp1zr]

Did they ever show Blanche’s childhood home on the golden girls?

[@infinitelightcouncil]

Yes- it may have been the episode where it was going to be demolished? Not sure but yes they used Linden's exterior and an interior set. There seems to be some connection from Natchez to the writers- Devereaux is the name of a historic home there and she once said theur home was called Twin Oaks which is another Natchez home

[@tobyhilden]

I absolutely love how you guys catch a lot of the views of the staircases that are on carpeted and show the original wear and tear of tens of thousands of footsteps going up and down over the years creating that little wear pattern in the wood

[@marshak1926]

Thank you for bring us along to all these beautiful places. Love your channel!

[@KarynnLynn]

Linden is so beautiful! once again, thanks for the tour & the history lessons.

[@sallyk7363]

Excellent presentation thank you so very much and some very very interesting tidbits on the aside thoroughly enjoyed this

[@sandystafford5845]

Absolutely gorgeous home and I loved all the little tidbits pertaining to the different objects.

[@ralphlyda4545]

Miß Laine, thy videos are always wonderful! Thank thee so much for sitting back and letting Mark Weeden teach us. Mr. Weeden, thou art an absolutely lovely tour guide! Thou art a gracious host, & full of exceßively delightful information! Thou poßeßest a gift for teaching!

[@wendyk4617]

Love love love those porches!!

[@carmenkraft9311]

Loved hearing those extra details and stories!

[@denisemariner1235]

So beautifully narrated. I wish I could languish over every table, every picture. Pondering now, if, there are any spirits still about guarding the home and property? I for one, would not blame them! Such a piece of heaven on earth, who would want to leave?

[@warriorgirl8118]

This man gives distinctive and thoughtful tour guides you can follow along with his amazing conversation and details about the home very respectful and welcoming and helpful and 👍 ❤😂😊

[@Davis-LA]

Thank you ORN, great tour

[@jessicawidmeier2862]

The cold plate I didn't know about, but now when people say "I made you a cold plate to go" it is going to feel a little different, ha,ha, no that is pretty interesting and a good way to not be rude, but universally understood, that it is time to leave and no one takes offense to it.

[@gloriabond123]

I love our customs and manners.

[@Weiseorgelspieler]

Mass produced matches haven't been around so long. Early matches, which date back to the mid 1700's, were rather a rare curiosity, dangerous and of course expensive those days. So this nice tiny wax thing helped a lot. Nice plate story!

[@karenwright8556]

Beautiful place.

[@anitawing4202]

I was privileged to stay several nights in this house years ago. In fact, I stayed in the upstairs bedroom shown in this video! Lovely memories of morning coffee on that awesome back porch. Thank you for this trip down memory lane.

[@joanies6778]

Oh, no, not the cold plate treatment! 🤣🤣🤣 Hysterical! Thanks for the tour and piece of history.

Oh how beautiful this house is. I agree Laine; as soon as that back porch like area was shown I knew that’s where I would spend all of my time. Thank you for showing this amazing B&B! 💚💜

The M9st Appealing of the houses, with the colors and taste of furniture, far more inviting, relaxing, and in harmony that the busy, cluttered influence of the Victorian.

How do the dinner table candles stay lit with the 'Ponka(?)' waving back & forth? 🤔 Wow! Those Boston ferns on the front porch! They're huge! Mine always die so I'm always amazed when I see them! Beautiful home! Beautiful footage! 😍

[@OurRestorationNation]

I’ve wondered the same thing

[@bbe3034]

There’s a fertilizer that I buy by the name of Peters. It’s on Amazon but make sure to buy the one for ferns. There are many different types. Such a beautiful home.

[@stephaniemcpherson2558]

I have a serious question: How did the paintings, tapestries, upholstery, etc… not mildew/ruin in the 99% humidity? How’d they survive? Always wanted to know.

[@OurRestorationNation]

Of course now we have climate control, but in the 18th and 19th century it was all about the center hallway. Front and back doors faced each other, and both would be open in the hot months to pull airflow through the home. Keeping air moving helps keep moisture at bay. Plaster walls also absorb humidity in the summer months and release it in the winter, so they also do a huge part in protecting!

[@laurielaurie8280]

Very nice :))

[@jelsner5077]

I love this house. Wouldn't you say it was rather Jeffersonian Palladian in design? (Which falls under the Federal blanket). Mark, the tour guide, was a scream 🤣

[@SteveL2012]

Can anyone tell me the dining room paint color?! Need that! (Wonderful tour). ❤

I don’t but if you call them they may be able to answer.

I've toured this lovely plantation house. It's not as grandiose as others but I liked the livability of the house. I'm not condoning the means to service it.

[@OurRestorationNation]

Just to be clear, this is not and never was a Plantation home. This is a suburban villa. No agricultural activities ever took place near this home.

[@OldLadyInFL]

It must be wonderful to have grown up there. Does the current owner still live there?

[@OurRestorationNation]

They have another home out of state but visit often.

[@TexasMonica]

Wait..we didn't get to see all of the house..bedrooms baths.. kitchen and so on. Short tour..Lol but beautiful 🙂👍

Bed and breakfasts often have commercial kitchens to take care of their visitors so they don’t look they way you would like them to look.

Here's your cold plate and your luggage is waiting outside :)

[@bethbartlett5692]

Oh good, an Irish or wife of, a "Connor" is part of the provenance, ie: the lineage of the property.

[@ginadelfina5887]

I really liked the background music you chose for the introduction; the porches and the courtyard layout are beautiful. I don't like seeing those punkah fans though. I do wish the tour guide would have said outright that the person stuck pulling the rope would probably have been an enslaved child, instead of just saying that "someone" would pull the rope.

[@jayr.617]

Respect to the slaves who built these lovely homes.
