HOUSE UPDATE: I'm happy to report that the development plans for this home has changed! Instead of being demolished it appears the home will be incorporated into the new development and used as a office space. Today the property is very active and it looks like someone is living/ maintaining the home until the new development starts!

Unfortunately, placing a property on the National Historic Properties does not necessarily save it. The owners have the right to do as they please with it. Being listed does give them certain tax advantages and a status symbol of living in an historic home. The best thing for this home would be for a local group of historic preservationists to organize and try to persuade the owners to sell it and not destroy it. Perhaps they can buy it and try and find a buyer.
@waukee321 Жыл бұрын
Putting it on the registry doesn't guarantee saving it. We knew a house that was over 150 years old and had a registry plaque on it but then after the owner sold it somebody bought it and tore it down. Historical value doesn't mean anything in this country, only money does.

It looks like they are trying to do a good job of letting it deteriorate to the point that it needs to be demolished. The house is fighting back pretty good though. I would say that the 3 story section was built first and then they kept adding on to the back. When a really old house has a step up to the bathroom, especially on upper floors, it’s so they could run the pipes in. If you were to pull up that floor you would probably see some of the original floor under there. It was weird that so many bedrooms in that section had deadbolts on the doors. That’s not something that you see often in a family home. A locking doorknob yes but a deadbolt? On that many doors? Looks like it had multiple boarders living there. I’ve seen the trapdoor entrance to a basement before and that one doesn’t look like it was visited often. I got the feeling that there was at least one other entrance somewhere because of the wine cellar. Who would want to go through all that to get a bottle of wine? Maybe that’s how they controlled their drinking 😂. Nice house that could still be saved although I don’t know of many families that would need something so large and hard to navigate. You could get lost in that place.
@Newt1981 Жыл бұрын
So my theory is that either the stairs to the cellar were originally outside of the house (Servants would have to go get that stuff anyway) and then just built their addition over top of it. My other theory is that there was originally stairs to go down under the original staircase (Which they then blocked off and turned into a little closet) and move them elsewhere. I dunno why you would do that but it's pretty common to stack staircases in almost all homes, old or modern. Though I do think originally the cellar entrance would've been from outside the house as I believe that was more common in that time period. And also they clearly blocked off the servants entrance in the upper levels with their renos.... No way it would've been separate because having servants go up the main staircase to get up to the bedrooms was a no-no. It's why they had a separate staircase going from the kitchen up to their bedrooms, but there for sure would've been a door to get to the family's end of the bedrooms so they could do their general housekeeping and such up there. It's weird the way the renovations blocked certain stuff off, etc. But does make you think it was not a single family home by the time people left it... Must've been some kind of communal place or something.

What an amazing home. I can never comprehend why people often paint over the original colored brown woodwork and trim. Or even the bricks on the fireplace. It ruins the whole aesthetics of a home of this age. The land developers appear to be purchasing up all the large acres of land in Canada (with beautiful vintage homes on them)to be used for building condos, apartment complexes, etc. Due to lack of affordable housing for the low income. So it's awesome that explorers like yourself are documenting them for the future generations. My only HUGE negative is when a majority of the explorers find an opened window, rather than go ahead and shut it, most of them look out it and walk away, leaving it opened. Which allows birds to fly in and stray animals, often just to meet their demise, also allows rain in, which creates mold, causing faster decaying of the pad. Please close the windows in these abandoned places. But, it could potentially save an innocent bird or animal from a painful demise. I believe what appeared to be a kitchen with no sink may have at one time been the kitchen. Now probably more of a chef area for the preparation of food for larger parties. And the newer kitchen was then placed in that back area. What to do with ALL the rooms in a house so large?? Invent new ways to use extra rooms. Which is nuts!! Just to show your wealth!! Then you die and leave all those materialistic belongings behind so rust, thieves and Mother Nature can eventually take what is hers. Thank you, Noah, for sharing this extraordinary pad. Dream on!

The first room you went into would have been the parlour - where they would entertain guests . The pocket doors would open to the smaller dining room. You'd have the doors closed so the servants could prepare the dinner table and the doors would be opened when dinner was served. The formal part of the house is a mirror image of my Victorian - though this is upscaled from my home. And like my home originally - no connection between servants and owners portion of the house. That possible explains why the two door ways to the sun port. There may have been a wall between the two. It's too bad the addition was so poorly built. It's likely the primary reason why this is slated for demo. You'd have to tear off all the newer addition then start renovating from there.

That would be a damn shame to tear that place down. It would take some money but it could be restored. Beautiful home.

I think the first room from the 2nd stairway where you said "massive coat hooks"...were guitar hooks so you can hang guitars on the wall. :) Awesome house!

I think the basement staircase in the kitchen was a outside walkin before the addition was built

All that white paint kills me! The wood underneath it probably soooooo beautiful. Stripping it would take me a lifetime!

My guess is that the wooden section in the back was added, and the wooden section on what you are calling the back was an add on as well. I think that the original home was the rectangle two story brick section. I love the ceiling medallions!

What an awesome home. Never seen anything like it. Would love to have lived there. Too bad it can't or won't be saved. What a sad loss.

Love Your Appreciation of architectural and details in this old building. You seem to have building / construction knowledge too. I'd love a property like this and am sick to see it go. Can't imagine the cost to repair - 2-300 k or more ? Really, so worth it, you can not duplicate the style.

That house is beautiful. It still looks as if it could still be livable.

That last staircase was enclosed but at one time u can see it was opened because of the baniser and railing. So sad that this home is gonna be torn down. It can be restored.
