I was born 50 years late. This era would suit me fine and I’ve thought that for years. Got a taste at my grandmother’s PA farm from early ‘50-s to early ‘70’s (sold farm, she was 94). From the half wood/electric stove to the smoke house to the outhouse, I loved it. No matter how hot the weather, the wood stove was fired because she made bread and cinnamon rolls from a mother loaf, that was started by my grandmother’s grandmother, every day or so. Go to the smokehouse, cut off a big thick slice of bacon….boom!-on the flat top. Then, homemade butter, bread, bacon sandwich. Then coffee hand ground in a hand crank grinder and a cinnamon roll with butter. Sit in the humongous wicker rocker right by the stove, looking out big double hung windows overlooking the side field, not a house, road in sight All fresh vegetables out of the garden or home canned in winter along with her beef, chickens, lamb, hogs. You’ll never know how good it was. You can have/take all this “world”, I’d go back right now. I didn’t mind the “shoveling or slopping” either.

Episcopal churches tend to seem high church compared to other Protestant denominations but two of the four episcopal churches I’ve worked for were especially NOT high church. Rather casual; no incense; the peace was rather long; but the rite (or formula for the service) was from the episcopal book of common prayer (which I believe is almost completely shared with aged Methodist and older Presbyterian churches).

[@Paulco67]

Keep at it! We need every old home restored as much as possible because so many are being lost.

[@sourceawry4035]

It is a labour of love, I am certain! I grew up in a beautiful three story Victorian home in central Illinois, and at the time we moved in, it was just over 100 years old. The house was set much higher than the street, requiring two flights of concrete stairs, then a third flight leading up to a large front porch . It made the house appear much bigger and taller than it was. I was told the house once sat much nearer to level ground, but they had to modernize the streets and that eas how they made it all fit. From the porch, one would enter through the front door, which was actually two doors, as we had an air lock that my mother called a vestibule. The vestibule was original, with a beveled glass front door, a leaded glass transom, a mosaic floor with the little square tiles, and there was a fancy cast iron radiator fit with a custom tin cover for drying and warming gloves. The second door opened to oak floors, archways, columns, pocket doors, and high ceilings. The front stairway was solid oak with two landings, which were both situated on the outer wall that jutted out in a bow fashion just for that staircase. Three stairs down from the main floor, underneath the stairs was a tiny powder room . A brass pole extended up from the toilet, through the ceiling of the powder room and extended through the first landing and was capped off near the ceiling. The toilet flushed by the gravity of the water in the pipe inside the brass pole. On the other side of the stairs was a small den with built in bookshelves from floor to ceiling. There was also a half height radiator that ran the length of the room, tucked under the lowest shelf, so the books never got moldy. The formal living room had a huge picture window, and four large windows at the base of a turret that ran up all three stories, ending with a six sided little room with six windows and not quite enough headroom for me to stand comfortably. The roof over the turret came to a point with a proper finial on the top. My only regret is that it was not fitted with a copper rooster weather vane. All of our front facing windows had leaded glass above. I suppose the topmost turret room should have been octagonal, however, the two additional faces were where the little tower room opened up into the largest bedroom that took up the entire third floor. In the far end of the living room, there was a gorgeous fireplace flanked by two floor to ceiling built in book shelves. The hearth was the original mosaic tile, the mantle was hand carved oak, the mirror on the overmantle original silver on beveled glass, and the original cast iron fireplace cover was perfectly preserved like it had just been cast and seasoned. It reminded me of the old vaults in a mausoleum, or like a crematoreum, when I was about six or seven. The frame, that this very heavy domed cover fit into like a glove, included a cast iron facade that was somewhere in between a grate and a grill. The floor of the firebox was a grate that let hot ash fall through when the embers burned down small enough, and the heat from these embers would flow through the little slits in the cast iron and warm the tiled floor. Once completely cooled, or not...one could work a large lever from side to side, and a paddle would sweep the ashed to the rear of the chimney, where there was a brick chute to deliver it into the basement where a mess of ashes and charred bits of wood didn't matter at all. There were also two similar chutes on the outside of the brick foundation, both closed off by much smaller cast iron square doors, and these led into two rooms in the basement with dirt floors where coal was once stored. These rooms allowed coal to be delivered without anyone needing to enter the basement or the house at all. Our furnace, which was actually a coal boiler that had been retrofitted to burn natural gas, still had that heavy door about the size of a big scoop shovel, that could be swung open to shovel the coal into and onto the burner. The living room was separated from a formal dining room by two huge pocket doors. Inside the dining room was a built in china cabinet that sat above a buffet and large, roomy drawers for storing silver serving dishes. At the rear of the buffet was a small window with a little door that slid up to allow the courses of a meal to be placed on the buffet without any servants being seen(not that we had any). The other side of the window was in a large pantry, again, with built in cupboards from floor to ceiling and a low counter top in between. The laundry chute also opened into the pantry, where linens could be sent down for laundering. The kitchen sat on the other side of the pantry, and another stairway ran from the kitchen to the back of the second floor. This stairway was narrow, steep, and so cold in the winter that we used it as an additional cooler for the holidays. I remember the way we stored so many cakes, pies, and cold drinks on the bottom six or so steps. We had such good times in that house. There were five bedrooms and two full baths on the second floor, and each room had built in cabinets or shelves, big closets, and so many windows for natural light. The bedroom at the very back of the house was the smallest, but it also had a screened in porch balcony that overlooked the rear yard and a carriage house. Every room had cast iron radiators, and a tin shelf fitted over the top. In the dryest part of the winter cold, we would place big bowls of water on the shelves to add moisture to the air...next to, of course, our cats. They would curl up in round tins, like little kitty muffins baking in an oven. My parents bought that home in 1976, and we lived there until 1991. They raised five children there, myself being the fourth born. I was five the summer we moved in, and our youngest sister was brand new. It is important that I balance my tale of grandeur by also disclosing that we were not wealthy by any monetary means. The house cost my parents $20, 000, and it needed a ton of work when they bought it. They put about $60k into it over the years, starting with having the house insulated because it was not at all. That boiler would crank as hot as it possibly could, yet on the coldest mornings I could see my breath in my bedroom. Thank God for good old fashioned wool blankets, down comforters and cotton linens! Oh! And I almost forgot the one thing that inspired me to comment in the first place: when we moved in all of the oak woodwork, the pocket doors, the columns, that beautiful mantlepiece...all painted over in layer upon layer of gunky white paint, the kind that must have been rather glossy at some point, but that someone(s) had lathered on thick without properly stirring first. In the hot, humid summers that paint felt as if it never quite fully cured. So the finish was uneven, and it filled in the finer details of the hand carved wood. The highest traffic areas seemed to collect handprints and newspaper ink residue, lol. I suppose I could find a little gratitude that it wasn't salmon pink or one from the fashionable 70s color palette...like a lovely shade of mustard or avocado. My mother spent the first ten years with an impressive array of dental picks and tiny spatulas, a square can of paint stripper, and hours upon days of elbow grease and blood, sweat, and tears so very carefully removing all that awful gunk. All by herself, while we were at school, my mother slowly restored the gorgeous finish of that natural oak. By the time we were ready to move on, my parents could have made a mint selling it, as it had been added to the historic district's official registrar. However, they decided not to think of themselves. They very carefully selected a buyer that did not intend to displace the residents of our block, or chop it up into apartments, like so many other big, beautiful homes near us. They ended up choosing a young couple that loved the house and all of its quirks and beautiful charms, and my parents let them rent to own it. They did not take advantage of the situation, and applied the full rent to the purchase price. They transfered the deed over after the rents added up to $25,000, and that couple still owns the house to this day. They raised their family there, too. I now live in a small, boring house built in 1962, and the most interesting feature is a robin egg blue bathtub that I lucked out by not having the toilet to match. Thank God the previous owners replaced it with a nice, shiny white model. We have a white tub sitting in our laundry room just waiting for the right day to be swapped out for the blue, which is now slightly green from the sixty years of rust stains that no longer buff out. The 60s may not be my favorite era for architecture, but that doesn't mean I can't show some respect for the boxyness. I have refused to let the remodel guys talk me into replacing my thick, wide slat aluminum siding, aluminum frame windows, and the vintage light post by the front walkway. Maybe if they were selling something less toxic than vinyl, and they weren't always hustlin' exagerrated storm damage as the way to pay for it(through an insurance claim I don't really feel honest about filing) . So much has changed about daily life since the time these homes were so thoughtfully built, and since dozens of master craftsmen were ready, available, and eager to build something lasting. The good news is that the sentiment of those times will return to us sooner than we might think. They always do. Good luck with your endeavor, and thank you for prompting me to revisit my memories of my wonderful childhood home. Cheers!

During the 90s, and into mid 2000s the owners ran a B&B, as well as catering events such as weddings, rehearsal dinners, Xmas parties, etc. I’ve been in the home dozens of times and spent a few nights. (Only once alone. Once was enough.😮) Whilst I’ve always been in awe of the architecture, I realize now how much I did not know about the home. Great video.

I think this is my absolute favorite home you have shown on your channel..just breathtaking…

[@db-xi3fi]

WOW. I could not believe my ears when you said an intact Tiffany interior. The founding Tiffany was the new world's 19th century equivalent to the UK's 18th century "Robert Adam". High style, refined interiors from floor to ceiling & every piece of furniture & textile to an equal standard. Even though this house is later for the company it still hints at the extravagant work of art that this place must have been when originally presented to the owners. That beautiful double entertaining parlor probably had a matching second fireplace with mantle where that large etagere is located , in-between the window & door, or maybe instead of a fireplace it might have been a matching full height pier mirror in that spot. The morrish room too looks like it might have had a fireplace. Maybe one in stone or tile with a Moorish style arch? Was there an original picture of that room? I suspect the reason why the dining room over mantle was changed was because there was also a built in server in the room with a matching upper carved panel. When tastes changed & the server was removed, the single carved over mantle might have seemed old fashioned, out of place or even cumbersome to someone who wanted to put a large painting or mirror above that mantle. . Great Video, you guys are pros!

Just loved our homes there m . I love my old Vincent price scarey house on stormy night. It was creepy

[@helenwhitenyc1]

That atrium is just lovely and the whole house. Last summer I toured the gilded age mansions in Newport that were of course lovely but this house seems more like a functioning, welcoming home and it's all in pristine condition .thank you so much for sharing:)

[@rongreen8485]

Stunning home. Amazing craftsmanship and it's in beautiful shape.

[@delisaseale5881]

Love this house. 💜 It’s so beautiful! My husband and I spent one of our anniversaries there back when it was a B&B. It was such a treat to stay there.

[@esmeraldagreen1992]

It needs to be Band B again or a wedding venue. I would hate for the house to be turned into office space.

[@lorihoop3831]

We live in a home built in 1900. We're renting it and it is a dump, but if I had the money I'd buy it and restore it, and add on another bedroom and bathroom. It started out as a coal miners house like many here in town.

Thanks for sharing some of the best that Arkansas has to offer. Wow!

[@rebeccajourney3183]

I love the absolute joy both you ❤ Kevin exude when sharing the history and knowledge of these incredibly beautiful homes. You have been a godsend to me during the recent past because you gave me what I have always loved and enjoyed. I dream literally of houses. They are always old and I used to describe in vivid detail the layout to my sweet hubby, who was just amazed that I could recall my dreams😊 The music was great and I loved the "ending" down the chute!

[@OkikaHawaii]

Man. Well, if I were to be wealthy I would totally dig having a home like this.

[@kimkovaly3096]

Absolutely breathtaking home ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@adamlehr8820]

It is a beauty! It lifts you up heavenward. Thank you for showing us this. Magnificent woods and fabrics. Well, Tiffany! Say no more.

[@mmoore2006]

Breathtaking... Tiffany is a distant cousin of mine, it's always wonderful to see the company's work where I thought I wouldn't

[@IamCarol233]

Que coisa mais linda, é um pedaço da história. Amo casa vitorianas. 🤍

[@kateg7298]

Oh, it's beautiful from the bank of windows in the kitchen dining room to the original mosaic floors in the bathrooms. Not to mention the rounded walls at the top of the stairs and gorgeous parquet floors. I could happily live there for life. I think I'd even share it with anything woo woo. Worth it!

[@myacpladmin8854]

Homes like this cannot be built for love or monet. Stunning

[@Pantheragatos]

That mansion was absolutely magnificent. That's a hefty price tag but wow, could you imagine owning this place?

[@darlenejohnson8864]

Definitely one of the most beautiful homes ive seen. Amazed at the architecture and features. Wish i lived in a house like that.

[@ianhamilton396]

This is truly magnificent, stunning and breath taking. From a gilded age that if on Park Avenue in New York would easily command $80m. A steal at $1.6m and I can see the new and great Governor of Arkansas using this to host businesses and industry considering to locate in her state. The Walton Family should pony up the cash and gift it back to the people of Arkansas.

[@samanthajudd63]

My goodness this is absolutely stunning! Oh if walls could talk!

[@OmarAbdulMalikDHEdMPASPACPAPro]

This is absolutely beautiful! 😃 The staircases are gorgeous!😍 So MUCH craftsmanship went into building this.😄👋🏽👨🏽‍⚕️

[@ElizabethMayo-sf4wg]

I loved this video and the lady who told us about it was perfect to tell us about this home.

[@francapascoe7822]

Absolutely beautiful it's a historic gem I would love to be able to afford a home like this thanks so much for the viewing

[@realistindenial]

The whole house is glorious, truly glorious.

[@lisaveenstra7098]
