1870 Quintessential Queen Anne Masterpiece

[@_serreina]

If I won the lottery, which I wouldn’t because I don’t play. You bet I would select a gorgeous home like this to restore and upkeep. Absolutely stunning.

[@jeanmullins3284]

Me too!!!

[@ericmoore571]

I think the same way! I'm always planning on what to do when/if I win the lottery but I don't ever buy tickets!

[@rosepayeur4591]

Well then I wish you will! I really do 😅Good luck!

[@karenshaffer1265]

Beautiful house. These houses needs kids to bring life and fill them up with laughter...make memories.

[@dawns4641]

$315,000 for that home is a steal! The outside needs the biggest work.

[@barbaramarcis1908]

Oh my! Vicksburg; my great grandfather was captured at Vicksburg and sent to a prison in Ohio where he escaped and made his way to Alabama where he joined up with another unit. He was 16 years old.

[@brittcorley]

The pressed trim with the hops vine is gorgeous. I wish they still made it. I would buy a piece just to hang on my wall as art. 😂

[@jeanmullins3284]

❤ Thank you for showing us another beautiful historical home. If not for you I wouldn't get to see these lovely homes. So pleased there are people willing to preserve them. They are truly national treasures !!❤

[@Water_is_Sacred777]

A masterpiece example of the QA home. It's out of this world especially with the greenhouse, which is to die for. I would keep an antique vibe in the kitchen and bath areas to not disturb the flow of this beauty. I usually just watch your content but had to comment on this one. Bravo!

Beautiful home!!! I lost count of how many times Laine said “In case you are new here…” 😂 There are so many amazing things y’all could film in Vicksburg! It is rich in history, architecture, and also haunted history.😉

[@baronetessdawson]

Thank You 😢

[@ulyssious]

Oh this home is gorgeous! The box head windows get me every time! Love all the unique details of older homes. They took so much pride in their work and it was quality. I recently found out that my great Grandpa was a blacksmith in our area and I hope someday to go down that rabbit hole. My grandparents were born on Laurel Valley Plantation in Thibodaux, Louisiana where I currently still live. All of the history and work that went into these homes, properties, etc is just amazing.

[@terrihoeper]

I'm absolutely blown away at the price on this property. Even though it sits on less than an acre of land, a $315,000 price tag makes this property one heck of a deal. No doubt it is close to town. Which is a plus when it comes to running errands & taking care of life's daily Business. The house looks like it needs quite a bit of work but it would be well worth every minute of effort once completed. This house has so much character. Something the modern home lacks in comparison. Thanks for sharing!

[@ArkansasSquaw]

Crime. That's why it's so low.

[@terrihoeper]

@@ArkansasSquaw It would suck to have a beautiful home in a crime-ridden neighborhood.

[@ArkansasSquaw]

@@terrihoeper yes it would. Heartbreaking...

[@kurthanushek5520]

Real estate is location, location, location. It is about the price I would expect in the historic, Old West End in Toledo, Ohio. The Old West End is an intercity neighborhood where the titans of industry build their homes at the turn of the last century. The money started moving to other neighborhoods in the 20's and 30's. An intrepid group of preservationists started revitalizing the neighborhood about 50 years ago. It is now a well established historic community in a metropolitan area with generally low housing costs and it is an inner city area with the problems that many do not want to deal with.

[@mmmonkay]

Well that was quick! It seems this beauty is pending already! ❤

[@constancekrischan9967]

Talk about character. This house has got an abundance of it. Absolutely gorgeous.

[@iris7911]

Although your video has nothing to do with what I'm about to comment, your dress is very elegant and you look gorgeous in that outfit. And by the way thank you so much for sharing your passion for beautiful historic houses with all of us, your videos are really inspiring, God bless you and your husband, greetings from Switzerland.

[@peterlarsen7779]

I absolutely _LOVE_ these Queen Anne Victorian houses! I love the craftsmanship and just the class of them. Ideally, I'd love to build a brand new one with all the bells and whistles of the craftsmanship, but updated with appropriate insulated walls, roof and attic, tripleglazing, floor heating, ground heating system, original lookng roof with solar power, and with computer controlled lighting etc etc. But I could definitely be very happy in e.g. this one or one the other beauties that have been shown by you Lane ☺️👍

[@carmenkraft9311]

That green tile surround and the blue tile surround were my favorite!! ❤❤ Beautiful home! I hope it finds its next owner who will love and cherish it!

[@IsabelGomez-b8s]

Beautiful nostalgic property😮😊

[@philhoward4466]

i would love to finish out this house. too bad i don't have the means to do so. i would also love to see the attic space if there are stairs to it. i always love attic spaces in 19th century homes.

[@opus27no2]

Beautiful house❤ by the way lysssssssss, fleur-de-lis in French the S at the end is actually pronounced, it's lissss😊. In French a tourêtte is just a small tour, it's a difference of "grandeur "😅 but what it was describe is called a beffroi , à beffroi is build on top of existing buildings and don't connect to any level, a beffroi was usually build for bells or clocks. And if the tour is a house,like living quarters for the seigneur or châtelain than its a donjon, the chateaux used to have "ramparts" with tours and a donjon(much bigger) where sometimes the seigneur with his family lived.

[@chookchook2451]

Love the music accompanying this presentation .

[@SpanishEclectic]

Dibs on that tower bedroom, lol! Those appear to be Master & Mistress adjoining bedrooms, as you say, definitely a thing in the 1870s. I love the pressed wood trims; the painted ones will show more detail once stripped. I can see this as an affordable hot trend during a time when commercially produced options were popular, and a way to get an expensive look without having to pay for hand carving. While the kitchen and bath remodels are a bit modern for my taste, I think they are overall good, and just need some color and personal style added. My 1931 house has a lot of colored tile, so the white everything look always makes me balk. House does need some work, but so much space and nice options. Any house of this age with so much exterior wood will need maintenance. I love the choice of colors; Queen Anne is the most fun style for fancy paint jobs. :)

[@jeannerountree952]

Beautiful home that needs just a couple more updates.

[@JayYoung-ro3vu]

I don't see many Queen Anne styled homes in my area. If many were built, survived or were modified over the years. What I do see, like mine, the inspector stated, are collections of various stick construction styles. It's something I call "Midwest vernacular." My home is a Cape Cod but has an Arts & Crafts style fireplace and box which was commonplace at the time of my home's construction. Homes on the university area run the styles and periods. We lost several when the university bought them up and demolished them to create modern campus housing. "Up the pike" in Urbana, Ohio, they have at least 5 examples of Second Empire style of which one was a hotel and now converted to senior housing.

May I ask, if you wanted to remove the white paint off of the pressed moldings so you could see the patterns easier how would you go about doing that?

[@hardcoreotome]

I have the same question! I don’t mind most of the other white paint, especially compared to what it looked like before. But I’d love to figure out how to strip the trim without ruining the patterns.

[@aledelmar2557]

Great job Lynn. I like the way you explain the details in the houses and the historical facts around their period. Very educational. Do you have background in history?

Couple questions: remove paint from cast-iron and repaint marble or just fo-marble on top? Also pressed wood thats painted.. remove that too?

I’d remove all the paint. In the mantels you’ll get way better results on the faux marble if have a nice clean surface

[@kurthanushek5520]

Another beautiful house. I enjoy your historical info. Your vids are the one that I up the video quality to HD and slow down to normal speed. The video itself seemed to be disjointed, particularly after the kitchen the camera wound its way through a back room to a screened in porch, to outside, back to the main stairs and then upstairs with no description or layout info. While there as description of the fireplace tile in the bedrooms and the windows, the rest of the upstairs was just a randomly moving camera. I have no sense of the layout of the house. I only know that there is a back set of stairs because the camera momentarily stuck its lens into it. I was disappointed that there was no mention of the greenhouse shown in the introduction. I don't mean to be overly critical, but I miss the greater info and your willingness to show the good, bad and ugly of a house that you have done in the past. I hope you can return to the videos of the past. I realize that it may be getting you too close to the Realtor position that I know that you are not and I do not know the legal issues involved, but you use to have the "If this was my house..." comments. I think those help promote preservation which you obviously support.

[@OurRestorationNation]

You almost got no commentary at all as when we arrived at the house we realized our microphone equipment no longer properly connected to the new camera we bought. So we had to leave Laine shooting B roll and head off to the closest Walmart to get you mic’d commentary. Then, it was 95 degrees with 72% humidity and no AC in the house. The house itself is wandering, disjointed and difficult to film, and made even more so by the conditions. Sorry this one video wasn’t up to your standards, but sometimes we do the best we can in the circumstances and move on. Try to show some grace and remember that there are exactly two people scouting, scheduling, traveling, researching, shooting, editing etc these videos. When ONE falls a little short of your expectations maybe you could simply let that slide, understanding that, under the very best of circumstances, these videos take a week of work to produce, if everything goes perfectly.

See, here’s the thing; you don’t get to “have an opinion” about scientific fact. And historic preservation is, in fact, a science. At least here in the US it is. We are actually considered scientists, as our CV’s clearly state. So, you DO have the right to be wrong. You can be just as wrong as you want to be, but you do not have the right to express anti-scientific gibberish on a channel dedicated to the spread of the SOI Standards for Historic Preservation. You have given me quite a good laugh today. It’s always hilarious when someone is shown to be incorrect, but instead of just saying “oopsie” and backing in to the shrubs as is appropriate, one doubles and triples down and then resorts to calling someone a bully. It’s okay, go find you a safe space where you can roll all around in your opinions. Here, however, we will vehemently defend the science.
