I feel lucky to have found someone who is passionate about the history and craftsmanship of building that wants to share their knowledge. I just want to say thank you to Brent and his team for these quality videos. Looking forward to the next one
Very cool! Thanks for the comment.
The internet is a wonderful thing if you know what you are looking for. Thanks so much for putting this up. It’s incredible the level of education you can receive free of charge if you have the will to look and the desire to learn. Thank you Brent.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching.
My wife and I watched the whole thing. We love your work!
Great, thanks so much!
Brilliant. I saw a new video from Brent and clicked straight away - then I saw the length of it. Very excited to know I can look forward to over an hour of intelligent discussion about architecture. Now, I just have to find a time slot so that I can view it in one go.
My wife and I went to Osbourne House on the Isle of Wight in the summer just passed. The “house” was developed as the place where Queen Victoria and her family would spend each summer. Later on, after Prince Albert had died, the Queen spent even more time there - so it was an opportunity to see real Victorian architecture and interiors. It was fascinating but we struggled to find anything to which we could say “we like that” or “something like that would be great in our hose”. Everything was just so incredibly ornate; so busy; so overwhelming. There wasn’t a square inch not decorated. Of course, at the time, it was a style that grew rather than just plonked in place, and became the norm for most Victorians. I think it’s essential almost to see it if only to appreciate why the Arts and Crafts movement was started. Anyway, weekend is nearly on us and the chance to sit down with a nice cup of tea; perhaps a digestive biscuit and see the whole video in one sitting.
Perfect! Thanks for sharing. I look forward to your feedback.
Fantastic lecture! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Glad you enjoyed it!
These are excellent. Thanks for posting them.
P.S. Interesting paradox with Victorian that it sees itself as Romantic - a response to enlightenment, anti-enlightenment “cult of reason” even - and yet also entirely dependent on technological/economic progress for its execution, which is itself of course a product of the enlightenment.
Glad you like them!
Wow, great insight. Thanks for sharing.
Very interesting, talking about craftsmanship,we are amaze every time we open a wall to find such a beautiful wood. It also surprised us to see the cavity between walls. It’s like the builder the house in separate rooms and then put then together with the floor and roof. Don’t know to much or understand the process but we know it’s exiting.
Yes! I love historic houses.
@@BrentHull Found the build show. I am drunk of excitement. Block Island build sure teach us to be patient with the process of building in the mainland.
The Maine Gothic house is so cool. Check out the Honolulu House in Marshall, Michigan . The guy was an ambassador to Hawaii.
Ok.
Brent - thank you for this video. I learn so much from you and as an immigrant myself the history explanations are realty fantastic - explaining the WHY and not just that WHAT. Really well done to you and the team. You join the dots really well. Keep the coming please :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
awsome videos
Thanks so much.
A great example of a second empire court house is in the town I live in! Look up Medina Ohio court house.
Will do. Thanks.
First off, Thank you for videoing and posting these lectures. I have been looking all over the internet for in depth explanations of the different architectural styles specifically during the gilded age. Ive enjoyed this video very much and am looking forward to watching more in the playlist . 2nd I was wondering if you had a list of books that you reference the material from. I looked up rural residence by A.J. Davis, but seems to be hard to find and then at the end you touched base on a couple architectural journals. I've gone to a few bookstores looking for architectural books but it seems with the internet age we are presently in these sections are lacking volume.. Unless you have a specific title, or author in mind googling residential architectural books can become frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you again
Hi Suzy, thanks for the feedback. Realize that reading AJ Davis Rural residence is reading the primary source and you are not going to get much analysis of his influence or the time. I do think Dover Publications has done a reprint of Davis's book. There is more written about AJ Downing and his influence on the time. The scholarly site is JSTOR. Finally there is a overview of American Architecture but I don't have it in front of me, I'll see what else I can find. Good luck.
Some people updated their Italianate houses to the more fashionable second empire by adding a mansard to the third floor. St. Louis has several examples of this in the Lafayette Square neighborhood.
Good to know! Thanks for watching.
Brent have you seen the channel "2nd empire strikes back"? This guy is restoring his browning house, wondered your thoughts on it. My layman's opinion is he's doing a great job.
No, but I'll check it out. Thanks for the heads up.
This house is currently for sale.
Wow, good to know. Thx.
Not to nitpick, but you have said greek revival every single time you meant gothic revival (except the very last when you show Lyndhurst) which is not good for anyone wanting to understand the subject. I can tell your passionate about what you are talking about, but slow down and take a breath if you need to so that you don't say the wrong thing over and over.
Noted. THanks.
