The Honeymoon Suite was very nice, as were the other rooms, but I LOVED the Veranda Room. That bed was spectacular and the desk!!! I have to point out, though, that the piece on the wall in the upstairs landing is an appliqué quilt, not a tapestry. Tapestries are woven on looms in such a way that pictures or scenes are formed whereas appliquéd quilts are made of cloth, generally a large solid ground with cut pieces put together to form shapes and stitched on top. The whole thing is layered with either more large pieces of cloth stacked or batting with another large sheet of cloth for the bottom. Decorative hand stitching holds all the layers together and the final product has a border sewn around to finish it. It is a beautiful house with such a charming couple as owners and hosts! And a very enjoyable video!

I’ve been binging on all my home tour channels during football season;(. In my opinion, Ken gives the best tours. Not only does he tell the history of the home, but I really enjoy his architectural lessons teaching me not only what various types and styles but also why and how it may have been used. Also, the filming is top shelf, not rushed, doesn’t make me dizzy, but instead moves in a way to make me feel as if I’m there with y’all. I really like seeing how each room flows into the next so that I can then visualize the architectural plans of the home.

I'm SO happy that they stripped all of the wood, but most of the rooms need to be wallpapered. Ceilings weren't painted white back then. They were painted in deeper or medium colors because they were so high, and it gave the illusion of lower ceilings. The furniture is absolutely gorgeous!

I appreciate the discussion with the owners regarding preserving historic homes with the craftsman features and old-growth woods. Contrasting this house with McMansions really drives home the point that "they don't build them like they used to." It is true that that house would fit right in with the Central West End!

I hope you see this note! I might be descended from the first Ninian Beal who settled in Prince George’s County in Maryland! The name of the house caught my eye for sure! Not sure which Beal I’m descended from though. Ninian Beal brought his brother’s family over from Scotland when they were orphaned. Beal was a community leader and acted as mentor and friend to my Willett ancestors. Thanks for sharing the Beal house with us!

Lovely house - technically 1901-1910 is the Edwardian period rather than Victorian, (Queen Victoria reigned June 1837 to Jan 1901) but this house has many Victorian influences. Love the portraits on the stair case.

Thank you so much Ken!!! This channel is amazing! Just wanted to let you know how much it means to me. Hope you can make it down to the Southwest someday. There’s so much info on east coast, the south, SF and a lot of other older homes. I’m restoring a southern Arizona real Wild West Historical Victorian and finding info on homes like mine in Arizona/Nevada/New Mexico is not super easy. But since most things went east to west it’s cool to see the styles that made it all the way in the middle of the hot dusty desolate desert.

1903? Wouldn't that make it Edwardian, not Victorian? And it's not just the date but the style is clearly Edwardian. Many more prominent so-called Victorian mansions in the US are of the Queen Anne style, distinctly different from Edwardian style architecture.
