    So happy Jeanie is feeling better!
    Such a beautiful old gal! I mean the house! I would never call Jeanie an old gal...😜
    It's my understanding that the building features, such as windows with 6 over 6 glass, is done in Fibonacci sequence for visual appeal.
    I can't believe all those fireplaces! I have the glass doorknobs in my 1919 house, but only 1 fireplace. Pretty sure my house is the blue collar version of a Craftsman.
    I love how much of the original house is in tact!
    Thanks for the awesome tour!! Loved it!

    Glad Jeannie is doing better. What an interesting house! It seems to have the look of a Four-Square, but also the roof lines we see later in the Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie style. Many of the 1920s houses here in S. CA are Craftsman or "Sears" kit house bungalows, and of course, many, many Spanish style homes, which include a number of sub-genres. The vintage bathroom is very cool; both of ours have two-color tile wainscotting, edged with the contrasting color. I've loved glass doorknobs since I was a small child; my grandparent's 1928 Spanish style house in Los Angeles had them and I vowed I would have my own one day. There is something magical about them...and they are very easy to clean! I'm sure it was hard for you to leave behind your original 1834 house in NY, as well as your friends and neighbors there. I'm delighted to learn you have met some great people who share your passion for saving old houses, right down the street. :)

    • @1834RestorationHouse

    First, so happy you're up and about and looking like your usual self, Jeanie! I've thought of you all week and wondered how you were doing. 🌺
    What a lovely home your friends have purchased to restore! It's going to be a beauty when it's done. And how interesting that there's a family connection to the home.
    It reminds me a bit of my daughter's home which was built sometime in the mid to late teens. She had asked the old couple in their 80s and was thrilled to find they had the original house plans (a trick she learned from me - you'd be surprised how many people do have them and will probably toss them after they leave the house, so I always ask and had plans for most of my houses). She researched and found the granddaughter of the man who had it built and whose mother had grown up there. She had actually written to the mother, but sadly the lady had just died a month before - her daughter said she'd have loved to see current pictures and talk about the house. The second family to own the house had boys and my daughter spoke with one who was dying to see his boyhood home so she extended an invitation and he was so happy that he brought her an original light fixture that his family had taken when they moved! She was thrilled! Most of the lights were original and she had been searching for the right light to replace in that spot! Most of the original everything was still in the house, though the family she bought from had covered many things over in the 70s! And there's a built-in cupboard missing from the living room that we think they removed.
    Sorry, didn't mean to run on, but I love the history of ownership of homes and my daughter picked it up, too. I'm thrilled that this house has, in some way, come full circle in the family.
    Happy Easter, Jeanie & Mike!

    So good to see Jeanne up and about. That house reminds me so much of the first house we bought after I got out of the Navy in 1979. It was an old mill house (company housing for factory workers) in Greenwood, not far from where you are. While built in 1950, it was built using the same plans as ones built in the 1920’s. We even had a coal fireplace in the living room.

    No there was no fire, the wood was torched befor the pillar was bricken in, this was common in 1920s in the south as termites and insects will not borrow to eat it. Its a natural way to protect wood in replacement of chemicals.

    Could that "Doorway" near the the big ol' breaker switch actually be an old dumbwaiter. It was introduced right after the kitchen tour...

      It was only as thick as a standard wall so I'm thinking it wasn't. Did you ever see the episode where we toured an old plantation house that had a dumbwaiter?

    Im glad your better!
    What about the ceilings in this house? Did i miss an explanation?
    Are they going to show us the restoration?

      We'll try to get some more video in the future. As you know, restoration is slow and painstaking.

    My grandmother had a house exactly like this one in Georgia.

    Please watch the second half of the Tartan Topiary on UA-cam of a decorator review AND Mary’s 100+ year old home! She just added a pool near the car porch drop off!

    I’d love to see an update on this house. My house was built in the early 1920s, it’s not as big though.

      They've been working on it very steady for months. We haven't been over there since we shot the video so we're curious too.

    How about corn cob blasting? I’ve seen it done to remove paint/stain from old log buildings?

    that 'brick' looks amazing, as awesome as your 'frame'
    wish more were willing to restore old beauties
    salvage beadboard is available so restoring can be done with old wood from houses that usually didn't make it (new beadboard grain is usually lacking in tight grain and beauty)
    it's too bad that most old houses are in dangerous areas where many are too afraid to live in such area - you seem lucky to find a better community
    Are they restoring everything to time appropriate, including the kitchen?
    Is this one of those order houses from Sears? looks like it
    Awesome old bathroom!

      They are trying to preserve as much as possible. The kitchen will likely become modern.

    I wish you had shown a view from the front door and the front hall. Usually the front hall is beautiful.

    • @1834RestorationHouse

      There was no front hall in this one. The door went straight into the living room.

      @@1834RestorationHouse Wow! I'm surprised! They certainly had the room for it. I have a 1924 Chicago bungalow, the woodwork and the floors are all oak, and it's beautiful. The house is also two bricks thick, it's like they built a house over a house. They built houses to last in the 1920s. Ours will be 100 years old next year and it's still solid.
