Pisgah Forest, North Carolina… we traveled through upstate New York. It’s gorgeous country. Very nice and friendly people. I came from Chautauqua county. It was beautiful there.
Best wishes from Florida. Used to live in Potsdam so NY history is always interesting. Removing and then re-adding the third floor is CRAZY!! A pity that the roof and third floor were not conserved prior to the intense damage. The lighting and all the wood of various kinds, walnut staircase and marble foyer are superb. The marble makes perfect sense in a climate where you invariably bring slush and snow inside on your shoes and boots. Thanks for this thorough look at a gilded age house. I love studying the American gilded age.
I worked at the Giant on Court street from 1980 to 1986 I used to deliver groceries to them.They were very nice and tipped well..Beautiful,I believe the Akel family helped out .Lots of history in Binghamton.I live in Hillcrest N.Y not far from there.
A very grand house and slightly more comfortable looking than some other tours of The Gilded Age’ mansions available on YT. The woodwork is beautiful, with a very distinct American style grandeur. I am pleased the mansion has survived. Thank you for the tour and introduction to Binghamton.
It is a shame they removed the damaged third floor, BUT, if they hadn`t, the rest of the house may have been water damaged to the point that it might have been torn down. We`d have nothing now so it`s kind of a double edged sword.
My grandfather used to say “never trust a man who keeps his hands in his pockets” I was raised to consider that very rude. I liked this guy’s lecture but that was distracting as heck for me.
Sorry about that, I definitely didn't intend to be rude. I have a habit of talking with my hands alot so sometimes I put them in my pocket to try not to do that. As you can see in the video it doesn't last too long and the hands start moving. Thanks for watching. We appreciate it.
@@joeschuerch5836 expressive hands are nothing to be ashamed of. You give great lectures, very informative and insightful. You are witty and know your subject well which makes you a pleasure to listen to. I’d like to see a tour in person one day. For now, I’ll settle for binge watching your UA-cam videos and while I intend on commenting to help the algorithm, I won’t bring this up again. You did great. Please don’t focus too much on my comment. I shouldn’t have said that. You’re a wonderful tour guide.

From Boaz, Alabama very good video
I grew up very close to this in Port Dickinson. Nice to see that some of the historic homes are still surviving. Thank you for the great tour.

New York City is crowded.
Beautiful ❤
Originally from Rochester, NY but living in FL. Great video!
Chicago, IL
I am curious WHY the carriage house is gone?
The carriage house was torn down in 1904 to allow for the city to widen the roads around the house.
