When we first drove down Linton Avenue in Natchez, MS 20 years ago, this incredible home was for sale. At that time it was in need of a LOT of love. In all honesty it looked more like a haunted house than a dream home, but my how things have changed!
This unbelievable showplace sits high atop a hill at the top of the best street in the city. Up and down this block sit Victorian era homes of every style, but this one is showstopper. Designed to resemble the steamboats that traverse the Mighty Mississippi river, this Steamboat style Queen Anne home is a treasure.
The original details remain almost entirely intact, with plaster ceiling medallions, hardware, pocket doors, mantels and some of the most spectacular tile you've ever seen! But by far, the most spectacular feature of this home are the magical pepper pot style towers. These third floor masterpieces give absolutely breathtaking views of the Mississippi river, and could become the most magical places in any house we've ever shown you!
Built in 1891 by the DIcks family, the first registered pharmacists in the state of Mississippi, this home is a living piece of history, and we are so thrilled to be able to share it with you!

Because of you two we just came all the way down from Canada to see Natchez for ourselves! I just want to thank you guys again for bringing to life what rich architectural history Natchez has to offer. Loved touring the homes and especially again doing a walk through at night. Can’t wait to come back!
Oh we love this SO MUCH!!!
@OurRestorationNation - I absolutely _love_ Queen Anne Victoria houses! The elegance and craftsmanship that went into them is just breathtaking 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Should I be fortunate enough to win the lottery, I would have a brand new built with all the bells and whistles, _PLUS_ brining it into the 21st C with triple glazed windows (in authentic design of course!), HVAC, 12" of insulation, solar panel slatelooking roof, griund heating, computer controlled lighting etc and an antique looking elevator 😊😊😊
Beautiful medallions and fireplaces with original tile. I love the transition from Eastlake to softer natural ethereal features
The towers, with the colored glass and river views are absolutely extraordinary. Thank you for showing us this gem. ❤
Another knockout tour. There are so many things about this house to love, and how fortunate that so much of the good stuff survived. I enjoy your tours SOOOOO much! You are a great teacher of architectural history. Please keep up the good work!
I’m in love for TOO many reasons!! One of the most beautiful historic homes I’ve ever seen! Just wow!! Thank you Laine and Kevin for the exquisite tour. What a blessing for the person who purchases this beauty.
Being from Wyoming, we don't have many impressive older homes like this. It's nice to be able to see architecture and beauty like this through the "eyes" of good folks who love it as much as I do. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for your kind compliment.
I also love the " behind the scenes" rooms and stairs. This house is beyond exquisite!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this home, Laine and Kevin! I can’t get over the Queen Anne flash glass windows in the towers. There are so many things to love about this beautiful home!
I was sure it would be over a million. If I could buy it , I would. I've always wanted a Victorian style house and this is one of the most beautiful I've seen in my 60 years. I'm glad you toured it for us !!!!!
I was guessing this house would be well over a million.
I can totally see why you and Kevin fell in love with this house. Spectacular.
Beautiful! But the view of the river from inside is the best! Thank you for sharing!
Laine and Kevin, living about 80 miles west of you. When I come to Natchez to explore, I always go by this house, my favorite house. Thank you so much for touring and sharing this. ❤❤❤
What a unique home. The exterior seems to be in pretty good shape. I agree that the birds and berry bramble tiles are gorgeous. My favorite room too, though the purple would have to go, as I love a red dining room. That is a lot of house; if you bought it, each of your dogs could have their own room, lol. These tours are both educational and soul-saving. Thank you for sharing these beauties.
Excellent video, Kevin & Laine. Loved the commentary, the drone shots, the camera work, the music, all a work of art...needs an award!
Such a lovely home overlooking the grand ol' beloved Mississippi River.
Thank you.
P.S. Beautiful dress, Laine.
A magnificent Victorian southern mansion. The architecture is so beautiful. Thank you for showing this spacious and splendid home. ❤❤❤❤👍👍👍
This home is huge. It looks like the family put their colorful mark on the interior. Fabulous! 😊
Lane! Looking well, my friend. Slim in the waist and pretty in the face! This house was a show-stopper. Thanks for a remarkable episode. Love to Kevin!
I love historical homes and architecture, the history information given by Laine make these tours the best!
Laine, your passion for the details of this home really brings it to life!
I LOVE the colors of the art glass windows in the towers!
The woodwork in these houses is incredible: my family is working on restoring an 1885 Victorian and the woodwork inside looks like it was recycled from the wagons at the Battle of Gettysburg 😅
The stories the house could tell if it was able to talk ❤❤
It's architecture, like a vinyl record, has recorded every sound; whereas, I can almost hear it whispering its history.
Absolutely INCREDIBLE example of Steamboat Gothic architecture!! It's stunning! Thanks for posting this gem!
I really wish people would stop painting over ornate woodwork, mouldings, & door frames. It ruins the beauty, making the details disappear into the paint. The cost & labor to remove all that paint would be incredible. I've seen homes with great expanses of carved walnut & oak buried in layers of paint & it just made me so sad.
@@mosler302 I really wish people with no ownership would stop trying to control what those with ownership decide to do. Go away!
I have followed Laine and Kevin for several years now. She has explained numerous times that some painted woodwork is period correct. Many homes of that period had painted woodwork originally. So, it's not necessarily a sin that it is painted. It may just be original and period correct.
@@crisramsey6757
Exactly
@@davidwalker5463 ... I said nothing about forcing anyone to do what I want, but I did express my preferences. I don't think people with van Gogh paintings should paint over them with white paint either, & I bet I wouldn't hear one peep out of any of you for saying that. If you have an antique home with custom hand carved & ornate black walnut woodwork? Go ahead & paint it white if you want to, but realize you majorly devalue your treasure. Do some research. Almost all painted ornate woodwork is due to uneducated realtors telling sellers nobody will buy their home unless they paint the woodwork white. If you actually did your homework you'd know that. Go ahead & destroy artwork from ages past if you own it. I still say it's a horrible thing to do to artwork & I will continue to say so.
I’ve always shied away from this home, as I thought the two towers were just too much. Now that I’ve seen the inside and the view from the towers, I’m totally carried away. Thank you for the eye opening tour. This is a grand home! I’ll never look at it the same way again. 😍
Oh my, I don’t think I have ever seen a more beautiful home. ❤
Love the two pepperpot towers! This home is beautiful! I wish I was in the area so I could buy this place!!! Gorgeous!
That house is perfection! The exterior footage was breathtaking.
Such a gorgeous home! Of course, those tower rooms with the art glass are my favorite & I know that as a teenager I would have made one into a reading nook & spent all my time up there reading and writing poetry. Thank you for showing us this one!
I love the lamp shade shaped roofs on the towers.
What a grand home. Maybe the kitchen is large to originally accommodate a kosher kitchen, 2 kosher kitchens. One for preparing meat and the other for preparing food with dairy
Love the architectural education! Thank you for sharing this beautiful home!
As a stained glass art novice I just love the stained glass windows and door panels!
What an absolutely exquisite home this is! And to have most, if not all of its original features intact, is incredible! I love the riverboat influence and its historical significance. And the view of the Mississippi is stunning! I don't currently have the coin for this gem; but if I did; I'd be inviting my neighbirs Laine and Kevin over often. Thank you both for showcasing such an architectural masterpiece. ❤ it!!!
This home has clearly been loved and meticulously cared for. I’m in love with all the tile! 🤩
Just breathtaking! 😮
My family built a house just outside of Boston in 1884. It was a high-style Queen Anne home featuring 15 rooms! Sadly, it was torn down in the 1950’s to make way for a parking lot!😢 It also featured a new garage for the family’s new 1908 Ford Model T! It was then used after the T was ruined to house a 1916 Packard Twin 6!
Wow..a beautiful home
I have always been intrigued by the exterior of this home but have never been able to experience the interior. What a prize! Thanks for a wonderful tour.❤
This was absolutely splendid! Thank you so much for showing us this beauty. I was flabbergasted.
We live in a house I'm pretty sure was built right around 1890. However, our house was MUCH smaller than that one, but even in folk Victorians, you can see the same details on a lesser scale. Sadly, our house did not fare well in the owner lottery over the years. There were even squatters in it for awhile, not too long ago. But long before that happened, many other things happened. It's been driving me NUTS trying to figure out what the original floor plan was. There seems to be a missing main staircase. All there is are the maid stairs - it's a northern house and servants stairs were in the back of the house and there weren't outside stairs. Things have been added and subtracted in the strangest ways imaginable. Also, part of the house seems to be missing, although it's not obvious where, what, and how.
We have a little odd door in the upstairs bathroom leading into a little dark bit of a room that we use as a linen closet, but that door is solid wood covered in layers and layers of sloppily applied pain, and there is black painted Eastlake hardware on the doors, with the original hinges. Like your house today, there are oddly placed French doors - somewhere along the line, they were separated so one is in one room and the other in another! but still side by side - just like the French doors in yours. All the floors are narrow-board hardwood. Very bad shape, uneven, and creaky.
I feel sorry for the house. I wish it could talk. We rent. I'd still like to try to get a good look at the abstract first for the property and then try to find some original floor plans.
I grew up in an 1880s folk Victorian, and we had a chandelier very like the one fancy gasolier one only half the size and with no gas hookups on it. We had French doors and Eastlake hardware all through it, with original locks. Then I owned a 1912 Craftsman. So I've gotten pretty good at placing times and times in between. But I am so puzzled by ours.
I love watching your video's. I'm always intrigued by the architecture, moldings and the period lighting in these gorgeous homes. ❤
Those tower rooms...beautiful and fascinating. Thank you for sharing this video!!!!
This home is a true showstopper! I am in LOVE! Your soaring and quite dramatic aerial views are astonishing!
Laine, I always learn something new (lots of new information!) with your wonderful history-laden narratives; and, Kevin, as always, your electrifying camerawork is superb! I cannot get over the moon with those Pepper-Pot Towers! It sure smacks of a George Barber design, but is it? The music, as always, is sooo appropriate!
Thank you again for showcasing these marvelous architectural works of art! I've been with you folks since the beginning of Our Restoration Nation. Though hacked and name changes throughout the years, it's me again, regaling your wonderful projects and videos! Thank you for the uploads!
I’m so glad you have stayed with us!!
Truely, a STUNNING house!!
Beautiful home. Every effort possible need to be taken to preserve and restore these historical homes.
It must of been so fun to grow up in that home it is beautiful and grand
Wow, if we could afford to move that far away, and buy a historic home we'd be there in a heartbeat. But for us (me mostly) that is nothing but a dream. I'd love the chance just to visit and then meet you guys. You guys are so lucky getting to do what you do. It looks so amazing there in Natchez, pretty sure I'd fall in love with the area too. ❤ It's so cool that you share all your knowledge of history with your peeps too I just love this channel so much!
A M A Z I N G ! ! ! Those pepper pot rooms!! I want the house so I can paint up there! And all the fireplaces and art tile, wow. I thought the huge ceiling medallion was interesting. My sister told me a ceiling medallion's size was not based on the room size but, rather, based on the chandelier's size. If that's the case, that room must have originally had a very grand light fixture. Thank you for sharing this absolute gem with us 😊
Beautiful home! Livable but still lots of preservation and personal style to add. Such a treat to see the inside with all of its nooks and crannies.
I didn’t want to “leave” this home! It’s gorgeous. I will be revisiting your video. 😊
❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely stunning Miss Laine and thats just you ! You look fabulous ! And that view. Swoon ! Such a beautifully unique home. The big pink house in the background on the river walk, has anyone done anything with it ? It was in quite a bad way a few years ago. Love your work !😍😍🥰
Unfortunately the pink house continues to just sit there.
Oh heck yeah! This is an absolute beauty!
I could live in this house. Thank you for showing it!
So stunning!! Just beautiful. Now I know what color I want to paint my front parlor.
Just beautiful!! Wonderful video!
1000% agree with Laine... I'd buy that house just for the tower rooms! What a gorgeous pair of spaces, would make a wonderful office space or reading nook. Love it!
@@artanis4ever yes, one for a tiny library, the other for an artist loft with great natural light!
Beautiful home!! Love the dress on the Mrs too.
I wonder, those two rooms at the top with the stained glass, how were they used in the beginning? Fascinating! First I’d say servants quarters but I would bet the family would enjoy watching riverboats from there?
I've had the SNAP power lights for six years. They're wonderful. I have them in almost every room in my house, and particularly like them in the kitchens and bathrooms.
I’m so glad!
Same here. Excellent product!
Kevin, I am going to order the Snap power lights. Great for old folks and guests to navigate to the bathroom at night. Beiing LED is what sold me.
We’ve lived with this one for a while now and I have no complaints. It really is easy and nice to have.
Very nice presentation 👏
This is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL ❤
I don't know if it's the dramatic music, but this house looks like a movie set!
This home is so stunning and magical. What a beautiful job you’ve done.❤❤❤
Thank you for showing these houses full of history. I love the music you choose for your videos.
Eye candy for sure!!! 😍Love the mantles and tiles,the towers so sweet!!🍬🍭 Everything about this home is super neat!!!
Just Absolutely Gorgeous Stunning Perfection ♥️
The house I live in now is very similar to this one. It was constructed in 1890
Beautiful
Thanks for this video. So much has been saved in this house. Thanks too for giving credit to the Jewish community for their part in creating these😊 homes.
Love you two, you are totally inspiring keep up the love of what you do it shows through..
Those two towers with the stained glass!! ❤❤❤
I love your channel. I always marvel over every detail of each house you show! Your so knowledgeable!
Absolutely gorgeous!
My dream home!!
I love that blue tile surround, amazing color
So breathtaking.
Wow, finally a more transitional house. These are my favorite!!
My house is on the other end of the trend- away from Art Nouveau, in the time 15 yrs later when Eastlake inspired hardware was still appearing in catalogs and still being used.
❤
Polychrome was popular a bit later and could be OG to the house even if put in later.
The style is appropriate!
Love this. Thank you for a GREAT video!
Wow! Seriously, there are no words!
What a beautiful home and in fabulous condition.
Beautiful knowledgeable tour. Thanks!
I don’t see the Zillow link
Thank you for reminding me. I’ve added it.
@@OurRestorationNation thanks!
I'm so happy! I've wanted to see this one my entire life! Yay!!! 😊
Gorgeous home! Absolutely flawless. Watching this video was like being in a candy store. Videos and channels like yours are the reason that I have no need for a cable subscription.
What a house!
Id buy it in a heartbeat❤
Beautiful Home ❤️❤️❤️🤩
What a stunning home. Amaxing that so many of the original features are still there. The only negative is that it doesn't have central air conditioning. I don't know if I would survive.
It absolutely has central air conditioning
A work of art. Thank for sharing.
I’m in love with this home.
So So NICE!!

Love this. Thank you for a GREAT video!
Realtor says 1883; I’m wondering why?
Maybe the land was purchased then?
Or the house was begun but added to in 1891?
The only thing that could make this home better, would be a widows walk!
Love it simply lovely ..all original!!.love the colors
WOW! Love it, it's gorgeous! What a view!!
Amazing video! No wonder you and Kevin fell in love with this home!
Spectacular home! Thank you for giving us a great tour!
Hermoso y Elegante ❤💋💞
Que hermosura de mansion historical.
Awesome way to start a Sunday with coffee and a new video 🏆🏆🏆
Beautiful home ❤
Absolutely stunning 😊
My dream home

That is a special house. Thanks for sharing this. You always do a wonderful job at prsenting these beauties.
