FOR SALE 1834 Greek Revival Mansion : Ravenna in Natchez, MS

[@chrisallen7911]

I wish the audience could see what this house looked like in the early 1970s. The entry hall had antique wallpaper and really set off the trim and ceiling medallions. Back then the house was filled with gorgeous antiques also. The walls and trim and ceilings are all painted the same today which is sad because the extraordinary woodwork just blends into the walls.

[@timemachine7026]

It’s beautiful…but I agree, way to much white paint. An interesting wallpaper would be a wonderful improvement to the space ❤️

[@mumv2089]

I will try to find historical images. Thank you for sharing.

[@giancolabird]

I was thinking the same thing...very modern looking . The restoration of Monticello showed intense colors because lighting was subdued and the entire white on white was not a 'thing' at that time.

[@cindybogart6062]

@@timemachine7026 I’m with you on this. The woodwork would be so beautiful if it was not painted. I never like a house when they paint the moldings , fireplaces ect. It looses so much character. I know it’s a lot of work to maintain… I always felt it was worth the work.

[@carinemunro1077]

totally agree

[@gingermerriman569]

The Realtors listing these properties are so luck to have you interested in the property. Your camera work, editing, music and reverent description is top notch and brings so much value. And lucky us we get to go on the journey with you. Thank you so much for sharing the history of these wonderful homes. I have learned so much from you.

[@OurRestorationNation]

Thank you Ginger! What a beautiful compliment.

[@sfaspd]

I agree this is one of the best executed tours that I have seen. I can't believe that it was recently made, when most tours now go so fast that you can't enjoy it. I just wish that you would at least step into all the bathrooms on the 1st two floors. Those are often my favorite part of the house, when touring historic homes.

[@Dawn00767]

Ravenna is as elegant as she is timeless. As majestic today as the day she was built. Fads may come and go but she has stayed true to her Greek Revival heritage. Neutrals and muted tones where the colors of choice as were painted moldings and trim work. The neutral background allows color to be added or changed by season or by whim through fabrics, tapestries, artwork, carpets, furniture, dishes and accessories. Even if she had woven fabric wall coverings originally they would have been muted elegant colors. Bright, vivid color certainly has a place in decor and can be beautiful (the painted ladies of San Francisco)but it would only detract detract from Ravenna’s beauty and grace the same way to much makeup can do more harm than good. The eye doesn’t know where to focus. Everything is competing. She’s perfect the way she is in my humble opinion. I can’t even imagine what an honor and privilege it would be to be her caretaker. She is breathtaking.

[@Tenebarum]

This has to be one of the finest homes in the South. I love the simplicity and symmetry. You can imagine people from any era living there because of its timeless elegance. The stair case is an engineering marvel. It’s in amazing condition.

[@armandomolina2096]

as always beautiful job.... congratulations.... greetings from sonora....

[@MelloJel312]

That is the most beautiful staircase I’ve EVER seen.

[@gypsy1588]

A truly magnificent home The tour was wonderful and the filming was excellent. I would loved to have seen this home before all the new kitchen, bathrooms and other changes were made.

[@csand1063]

If I could I would buy every one of these beautiful mansions! I love Mississippi. Love the way you show these historic places. Makes me excited to learn more about our history. Thank you for making these wonderful videos. 🙂🇺🇸❤

This is one of my favorite houses in Natchez! It’s magnificent!!

Swoon worthy. Simply swoon worthy. I can only daydream of owning something this amazing someday. How beautiful. I love learning that the painted wood trim is historically accurate. So interesting.

[@janetsways4176]

Oh my goodness this place is remarkable! Every inch is exquisite! Thank you Laine and Kevin for showcasing these incredible homes that we would otherwise not get to visit.

I know you both have day jobs and weekend jobs that you love, but man, your tours are SOOOO good I think you could make another side business! Your loving attention inspires us all to see and love the details too 🙂

[@Bobrogers99]

A beautiful home tastefully restored, and the clever additions for the modern kitchen and the bathrooms do not conflict with the period ambiance. Thank you for this comprehensive tour!

[@giancolabird]

Really? I had no idea recessed lighting was clever or tastefull in an historic home. I have to disagree.

[@janetyoung903]

WOW I am stunned I can not put my thought into words. Just stunning. Thank to the home owners. plus to the 2 of you for taking your free time from your days off to show us all on you tube. the homes we are not able to ever see with our eyes!!!

[@KarynnLynn]

This home is exquisite! I like symmetry because I find it relaxing. The videography & editing showcase this house to perfection & those staircase shots win my heart every time. Thank you so much for showing these houses to us.

[@Tenebarum]

That was one of the reasons for symmetry. To create a sense of order which is calming. The front hall is absolutely stunning.

[@gailwollziefer368]

I have watch this home at least 6 times it is magic .Thankyou for showing this home in such an exquisite way!

[@jenniferhooks2454]

The house is absolutely gorgeous! That staircase is mind blowing.

[@megfuchs9425]

I love this! I got to see a house I never would have been able to see otherwise. Sometimes I go to open houses just because I am curious as to what it looks like inside. Wish I could do it for a living. Lol

[@kathycasey9153]

My absolute favorite part of homes like this is the waves in the original glass windows. When the light catches them just so, they are so beautiful. This home is for sure a stunner. Thanks for sharing!

[@cindyadkins7860]

Thank you, Laine and Kevin. This is an extraordinary home - a place I’d have never seen if not for your wonderful tour. That staircase is breathtaking! Truly a work of art. I really appreciate all that you share with us.

I drove through Natchez Mississippi years ago. The town looked so different from most southern towns. It’s such a unique place and some of the homes there are beautiful.

[@artisanhome8980]

Beautiful property with lots of character, exquisite architectural details, and long-forgotten craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing!

[@KentuckyGirl]

That staircase was breathtaking. While watching this tour, I couldn't help but think, I wonder what that place would look like decorated for Christmas. I wonder if people decorated for Christmas in the olden days like they do now?

[@madslamuerte]

Oh I bet it was beautiful! 😫

[@FollowerOfYeshua1974]

I think when this house was built Christmas observance was still illegal in this country due to the holidays pagan origins.

[@jillianmaloney3798]

I was thinking the same thing! 😹Was gonna write I could see adding decorations in this house so easily before I saw this comment.

[@lisahenry8250]

beautiful house! I cant imagine having to clean it, as it would take a lot of care to do so.

[@kimgalan3564]

Thank you for your home tours! My husband and I are restoring and preserving an 1850's home in central Georgia. Such a loooong process. Your videos always inspire us to keep going and never give up! I hope you know how much you encourage others on the same mission. God Bless!

[@adriennefoote1775]

That staircase reminds me of the Davenport house in Savannah, although this one is much more grand! Y’all do such a wonderful job filming these tours!

[@OurRestorationNation]

We actually got to see the Davenport house this summer! It does remind me of that, but yes, this is far more grand.

[@adriennefoote1775]

@@OurRestorationNation I also got to visit the Davenport house this summer, first time I had been to Savannah in a decade. It’s been my favorite house since we first went when I was 10 or 11 years old. My parents were big fans of federalist / Greek revival architecture so it’s no surprise that’s the first house I fell in love with!

That master bedroom and bathroom is so cozy yet alluring. So charming

[@roghamner]

Laine and Kevin, your videos and presentations are awesome! You have quickly become my favorite channel. I love your enthusiasm and love for great early American architecture and craftmanship. These homes are truly amazing and are certainly works of art. I love how you softly guide us not only through the homes, but also through its history and how you educate us a little along the way. Your presentations stir the imagination and it's as if you feel connected to the lives and times of a bygone era. Although, I love them all, this video and the Brandon Hall Plantation videos are my favorite. I just keep looking at them over and over and imagine a time and life style so far removed. From one romantic to another, you guys are the bee's knees! Thank you for sharing your love and enthusiasm for these homes. Roger :)
