The senior H. H. Rogers was descended from three Mayflower passengers. I've been to Fairhaven several times; the public buildings that senior gave to the town are truly magnificent.

That hallway with murals is stunning. Love the library.

[@JerryWilson-le6uw]

I'm glad this place is still there 😊

[@mileshigh1321]

The Port of Missing Men house was a real retreat! The pool was amazing! I like that we get to see you at the beginning of the videos now too! Its more personable and not AI crap lol

[@rickkearn7100]

Kudos for not using an artificially-generated robot voice for the narrative. I was impressed by how much information this channel creator was able to imbed in the eight minutes. Excellent content and presentation. Cheers.

[@dman7773]

Ken, you continue to impress with the refinement of your posts; distilling all the most salient information from what I can only imagine is a great deal of research. So well done! Great broadcast voice, too: very soothing. Thank you.

[@Darscm]

I’ve enjoyed your videos for awhile. It’s nice to see the face of the voice.

[@mikenixon2401]

I'm always impressed with men then and today that actually make and produce products. It is interesting that the first generations will sacrifice, but inheriting generations spend the rewards of their elder's work. I like the simple elegance of Blackpoint (expect the Roman statues). Good report, Ken.

[@randyboglisch137]

Thanks again. Always enjoy watching your vids.. love the father's mansion

[@danacarter4793]

1st generation earns it ,the 2nd one learns it ,the 3rd burns it, (sounds like this son skipped a step , BTW Sr. House is STUNNING!!! Thanks Ken great vid as always

[@discoblair938]

I was taught: From shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in 3 generations. First makes it,second spends it,and third generation goes back to work.

[@danacarter4793]

@@discoblair938 I think it depends on the person ,some respect what Thier parents build but others don't , either way I think we are both right ,I've meet several ppl that learned Thier dads or moms business and done well ,others just spent it ,Stay safe and HAGD. 🥰

[@discoblair938]

​@@monkeygraborange,LOL. I was taught it as I was the third generation.

Rogers’ house is the best one yet to be reviewed by you 🎉

[@user-kr9zb2ng8i]

Thank you, Ken, for another amazing video !

[@duchessme5817]

Just wanted to say that I like your new introductions. Bravo on that change up

[@gregkarkowsky967]

Always very interesting and surprising, Ken!

[@FeedScrn]

Thanks for making these videos... so interesting.

[@DaleRussell2]

Very interesting. Thank you. 👌

[@tristanearley3465]

I'm am so tired of hearing these beautiful homes being torn down

[@jefflawrentz1624]

I’d like to see Port of Missing Men. That’s amazing it’s still in the hands of the family. If I’m not mistaken, Freemans Auctions of Philadelphia did a sale of property from the estate of Millicent Rogers. She was a fascinating lady and I’m looking forward to your vlog about her. Thanks Ken!

[@josephpiskac2781]

Shame some of the properties are lost. Fantastic excellent places.

[@CuriousEarthMan]

Nice Ken, thank you!

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

What an amazing story!

[@donnamariebrown2478]

Another great video Ken, thank you so much. Do you have any videos of Detroit, Mi? When I was a kid, it was such a beautiful city. It is making a comeback, but unfortunately lost a lot of personality in my opinion.

[@mikeq7134]

One can tell that that is a turn-of-the-century building. It has numerous wide porches for coolness during the day, as well as large sleeping-porches on the second floor. Americans in that period were fanatical about getting into fresh air.

[@garryferrington811]

Today you would be getting into gasoline fumes.

[@garryferrington811]

Interesting that the family still has one of the houses.

[@SpanishEclectic]

That thumbnail photo looks a bit like the back of an old sailing ship, with the windows to the captain's quarters at the back. Funny to find out it houses a pool. I prefer the later house, with the arches, and wood beams in the huge living room. This is surely an example of 'getting in on the ground floor'. And one has to really try to blow through over a billion dollars.

[@dcole9589]

That is one sprawling property.

[@johncp56]

I love to see the mansions that were built before the tax laws changed so insanely beautiful

[@HORSEYANIME2024]

Pls continue uploading more new content

[@StamperWendy]

Thanks! I've been to Fairhaven

[@susanpolastaples9688]

Beautiful but what whas 1st Julia Morgan's indoor pool for Hearst or HH Hunt's

[@mirandakoggan3914]

They look like small hotels.

[@margarita8442]

your on a journey to a norwood 7 darlinks

[@arribaficationwineho32]

A shame that the first house pictured was destroyed

[@BatchelderPatrick]

How did Jr. enter WWI as a LTC? Just wealth? Very unusual. How, when signing up for WWI did he not know of his father's extensive wealth after seeing the mansion? Why were the mansions torn down? No cheap labor to maintain them? Or...

[@wrahvin]

omg dude blink,..even if you dont have to , you look freekish when you dont blink

[@rubychew6535]

Rogers was not interested in school because he other interest. I think he was above average because he had other interest.

[@snhguy9464]

You’ve got a great channel!! However the audio quality is terrible and unlistenable.

[@KatWoman_]

Real nice places and what a shame to lose them. You are a classy guy but that microphone is not and seems out-of-place to your channel, IMO.

[@whigparty6180]

Sorry to pick nits, but "loggia" is pronounced LODJIA, not loshia.

[@gandfgandf5826]

Thanks. I didn't know that.

[@massiahgrom]

I love this place . It's a men's lodge on steroids.

[@angelakimbrell1214]

JR. was STUPID!!! It takes dedication to squander that extreme amount of money and an overinflated ego. He didn’t care about his father at all or appreciate anything the man went through to make that money.

[@rosidae]

Can you remove the autotune? It’s so monotonous

[@sandybruce9092]

@@fordkoleski7913If you are thinking you mean AI - this video and others has a real person speaking!!! He’s right st the beginning! Auto tune has something to do with music I think!

[@Maliceless100]

It's his real voice and opposite of monotone; the narration is actually part of the channel's draw for some.

[@amandab.recondwith8006]

Such a waste of time, talent and money.
