The little blue and white tiled floor is nice. Makes a fine space. Pocket doors look like quarter sawn oak doors to me. A good space for art.

[@ThisHouse]

Now that you mention it, they do look like quarter sawn oak. We will double check our notes and possibly pin this comment if we find that they are not Bird's Eye

What a sweet way to honor her grandmother, she was talented. This is a very cool house! Thanks for sharing it with us! :)

[@ThisHouse]

Such a thoughtful way to cherish her memory! We're so glad you enjoyed it!

What a beautiful house I love the wooden floors and the tin ceiling, the entry way is so zen relaxing . I love the bar and the kitchen is to die for. I love the brick in the kitchen and the fireplace is nicely proportioned. All of the additions are so seamlessly placed, I love the stair bannister and jewel post . The bathroom is so period accurate the placement of the house next to the park is a lovely spot. The upstairs is really wonderful the master suite is stunning, a perfect blend of old and new so peaceful and charming I really love the turret room and my dog would love to sleep there too. A lovely home and the owners are so nice. Thanks Ken this was a charmer

[@margaretorden7568]

I totally agree!

[@ThisHouse]

I'm so glad you enjoyed this house as much as I did! It really was seamlessly updated! -Ken

[@lmgtulsa]

I love this house. These home owners are so lucky! I love this about St. Louis; all the unique homes that are old and can never be reproduced.

[@ThisHouse]

It is such a treasure!

[@ellenlehrman9299]

The antidote to the McMansion.

[@sammyjo8109]

I could move right in!!!! They have done a perfect job. I enjoyed the tour of their home. Thanks for inviting us1

[@ThisHouse]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@dewdrop3302]

Love the architecture of the outside of the building and inside too. This place is way 😎 cool!! ❤

[@ThisHouse]

It really is! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@purplebutterfly7257]

Grandma’s painting’s wall is the best part of the house. 🙂

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

What a cute home! They have totally updated it to suit their purposes perfectly. Glad the space found someone to love it.

[@ThisHouse]

We totally agree!

[@mikebarry1514]

All the care and love shines thru that the owners have put into this unique home.

[@Terri_MacKay]

I don't know what the owners were planning on doing with the room off of the secondary bedroom, but I really hope they kept that amazing mural on the wall. I can understand that when people buy an old house or building, they want to preserve or restore as many original features as they can. But, the changes that are made to a home, over the decades that various families occupy it, are also a part of its history, and I think that some of those features should be preserved as well. They help to tell the complete story of the home. My favourite spot in the house was the turret space...I can imagine my cats claiming that as their space. What a wonderful little spot.

[@ellenlehrman9299]

This is my favorite house so far. If they decide to sell (in my price range), I may have to move back to St. Louis!

[@duanelawrence78]

This house is so beautiful Thankyou for sharing this with us !!✌🇺🇸

[@ThisHouse]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@salavalos]

It was great to see part of the original patina of the ceiling and to hear part of the story of the evolution of house. I enjoy the variety of house tours you bring us and some of the back story you always try to provide. Thank you!

[@thomasgeorgecastleberry6918]

i like the unpainted tin ceiling. Amazing, the whole concept! Are the wooden floors oak? Woodwork trim unpainted, great. 12 foot ceilings? WOW a basement!

[@ThisHouse]

Yes they are!

[@bethbartlett5692]

The interior walls, recommend: *"The Paint People"* for options of color, based on owners desires, but there are whites and very light beige, taupe, tan, gray, that would offer a more comforting feeling, even the recent "Color of the Year" by Benjamine Moore that's a light soft warm a barely pink. Transitioning from Commercial to Residential can be absolutely Stunning, but it can also present a need for Professional Design Decorator to Advise. It is a great property, but I feel they could be amazed by how really great it can be.

[@connerkirk1043]

That was nice , I have a cash register like that two 1904 . Have you seen the house on 40 portland place? I see you're subscribed to Mr. Man been subbed to him for about 4 years, I'm a new subscriber Great channel , I'm in st.louis nice and gloomy today

[@ThisHouse]

Thanks for watching! We are fans of Mr. Man! 40 Portland Place is a gorgeous home, we would love to feature it some day!

[@robertwalker7979]

I get my haircut at a barbershop on Chippewa called Kuts By Kurtis. Literally the same exact ceiling he has in his shop. Also, an older brick home

[@warriorgirl8118]

The bathroom was awesome with that jacuzzi bathtub love all the real wood floors and everything else wooden including the fireplace to burn real wood

[@OKconnectmelove]

What an interesting home, with all the little details. Just curious, what part of St. Louis is that? Thanks so much, love your channel. 💜

[@ThisHouse]

Glad you enjoyed it! It is in the Tower Grove South Neighborhood

[@OKconnectmelove]

@@ThisHouse lovely 😊!! Love the dogs 🐶 special spot. Mine would love that. Lol King of the world!! 👑

[@warriorgirl8118]

You do a grand slam tour of this home I appreciate how you described the items inthe house 😊😊

[@tonithenightowl1836]

Love this house !!! What a fabulous place to live. Yes, the good ole days when we went to the corner bar for candy, soda, chips and the occasional qt of beer and cigarettes for my parents. My Mother would give me a note for the beer, I didn't need one for cigs. 🤣😇

[@rebeccavalicoff1581]

I would love to hear more about the impromptu sessions!

[@ThisHouse]

@@ThisHouse thank you! You're so kind! Merry Christmas 🎄!

[@jamesslick4790]

It always been funny that we Americans use terms like "Victorian" to describe 1837-1901 buildings in the US, If we used the terminology correctly, based on OUR "rulers" reign, a 1908 building is properly "First Rooseveltian", LOL If we are sticking to British monarch eras, I guess it's "Victorian style", But since Queen Victoria died almost a decade before, It's REALLY an "Edwardian" building.

[@johnchristopher20]

You should slow the palaver down; add spacing. Make it more conversational.

[@jamesslick4790]

"Prohibition" ran from 1920-1933 so those bricks were made DURING "Prohibition".

[@buzzkincaid5521]

I feel a loss in these spaces , deep sadness, abject poverty , murder

[@barbarat5729]

If the bar was built in 1908 it was the Edwardian Era.

[@Asdfhjkl998]

They can make batter renovations but it’s ok , we can’t wait sophisticate test every body ❤❤❤❤❤❤they are Yong generation soo😂😂😂😂

[@barbarat5729]

Ken. Use "now" less please. And not "whenever" when you mean when.

[@ladyjane9980]

Way too utilitarian. Ick.

[@mlite2go]

This could be a good series if they had a different host.

[@purplebutterfly7257]

I think Ken does an excellent job hosting the show. 👍

[@jfree1998]

Yuck. Someone tried to make an old building modern minimalist? Just no. That blaring white on the walls destroys everything

[@jeannekahle3344]

What a waste.
