How I wish it was 1985 !!!
Wow, just WOW... Thank you so much for posting this historical treasure.
Holy, Bob Villa knows design history! I had no idea he was so knowledgeable about architecture and industrial design in general.
Tv doesn't come close to this anymore. Its quite sad that everything is just stupefied nonsense now. Very very few shows are informative yet entertaining anymore.
Gosh Bob, let the other guy complete a thought.
Typical for him and why he was fired from TOH...
Gotta admit I really like that chair at 5:00
Also that's some beautiful property.
A lot of this house would pass for new today. Crazy to think it predates WWII....
i looked at it with the pictures provided on google maps everything is still there after 30 plus years
Bob was just man handling all of these original pieces that belonged to a god like a savage!
That toilet with the suicide shift though
Is it just me, or does anyone else wonder what Bob looks like without a beard? Hard to imagine..
Bob Vila and Walter Gropius.... two extremely different philosophies... Please sit down bob.....
More videos please
That is -not- a 'paperclip chair'
Where is Miss Molly ??

1938 house? That's nothing. I lived in a house in northern Canada that was built in the 1800s.
🙄
why do burglars film themselves on go-pro? - DOH
What a facile, dumbed-down programme. Do these people actually know anything about modern architecture? The roof of the porch looks like a carport? Really? Perhaps a film with a bit of knowledge and insight would be good?
No, this isn't all that "dumbed-down", but absolutely is POPULAR in the sense of typical tour led by a competent docent at the historic home. I've been studying the Bauhaus since I was 10. I could quibble with any number of comments Bob Villa made, but isn't he an average educated "every man" on a guided tour? Who knew he knows about fabrics? The DOCENT is far from ignorant. He appears to be encyclopedic --more importantly-- able to link a half dozen notable features of the home with early modernist canonic context. I do wish Mrs Gropius was referred to by her first name: Ilse. I am aware of her importance, including in their foray to S America (The kind of matters I like to study in depth). Her unofficial role was dictated by her gender. I have never seen the home in this way, that only a room-by-room video, or focussed newer detail shots, could provide. Due to the video spectrum, and dreary day ambient lighting that amazing "Bauhaus 'pink'" upstairs terrace wall outside looks nearly desaturated in the video. Hey, it was 1985. "'Papa' Feininger" was asked by Walter Gropius to come and meet the painters for mixing and "adding of lead"(!) for that pink, according to W Gropius' published papers. The Gropius family never repaid the generous $25,000 loan for their home, nor own it. It's in good hands now, for sure.
you clearly don't, which is why you came here. you can't learn anything without a tv show feeding information into your head. you are incapable of reading a book because you obviously can't read. you obviously cannot process information you hear either.
