Return to Albania Mansion, Part 2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 чер 2024
- This month (June 2024) the owners of Albania Mansion gave tours to benefit the town of Jeanerette revitilization project. I really love this house so you can bet I was the first one in line.
Since my last visit & tour in March with Mr. Clement I've since picked up the lovely books Where Art Meets Design and Pleasure Palaces which have photos of when the house belonged to the artist Hunt Slonem.
So I'm back to see this beautiful house and admire all the hard work that's gone into her. Watch me descend the tiny just rediscovered staircase that connects the 1st & 2nd floor and explore Albania's beautiful garden.
Keeping in mind I am an amateur filmmaker so I chose to leave all the interior segments unedited so you won't miss a gorgeous inch of this amazing home.
Thanks for watching and please visit the charming town of Jeanerette! Buy some goodies from LeJeune's Historic Bakery and pick up some gifts from the Mercantile (I bought a painting ❤️)

I love the light fixtures and chandeliers
@@wdgbirmingham2 I just love this house!
Why this name? Albania?
A very good question! The guide had a history she was reading from and it wasn't in there.
I just tried real hard to find an answer for you. Goggled and googled. Who knows 🙄 I tried!!

I asked this question because I am from Albania, a small country between Italy and Greece. This house was built in the years 1837 - 1842 and its owner was of European origin (probably German, according to the surname). The name Albania seemed strange to me because the first Albanians who immigrated to the USA belonged to the period after the 1880s. According to Wikipedia, the architectural style is Italianate Greek Revival. There are many coincidences.
Thank you anyway 🙂🙂🙂
@@wdgbirmingham2 I'll ask next time I visit! Thanks for trying 😄
