I've been to this house; and while it is big and elegant, nothing outside prepares you for walking into the jaw-dropping beauty of the front hall and staircase.Excellent video.
Never seen this house before but it is beautiful. Simple elegance and clean warm austerity. The wood paneling is stunning. Oh, this is a nice house. Makes me want to look at Georgian floor plans.
I love all the rich panelling, especially the stairhall. And that newell post is amazing!
The woodwork throughout the house is gorgeous.
I have to agree with everyone else. That is one of the most beautiful staircases I have ever seen! Stunning. And the interior: so simple but so elegant...
Wow a house that's still standing AND a museum! My favorite room was ALL the rooms! I'd love to go see this some day! Great video Ken!!
Wow! Huge appreciation to the folks preserving this historic mansion! The details on every piece of furnishings and structure are lovely. I cannot select any one thing-it is all so interwoven. The ghosts of the revolutionists are present. Thank you.
The Grand staircase is spectacular & the woodwork throughout the mansion is impressive!!! 👍👍🙂
Yep. Totally, a dream home for me. I admit, of course, that I would furnish with more comfortable and somewhat more luxuriously upholstered furniture in certain of the public rooms, but always with an eye to bringing out the gorgeous simplicity of this style. The ultimate "Quiet Luxury" mansion, and we need more of this.
Thanks for your efforts again Ken 🙏
One of my favorite houses!
The hand painted wallpaper! At first I thought they where tapestries !
What a beauty of a mansion. Thank you Ken…great video
This is my dream house!
Love the woodworking throughout. Beautiful!
I found out that a ship captain's home is one built with the wood from his dismantled ship, after his retirement.
Thanks for covering Mass again, Ken!
I loved the wallpaper. It is preserved beautifully.
I can honestly say that the staircase caught my attention. Even the balustrade showed different twisted designs for each post. I'm also surprised that that house hadn't been torn down like each one on 5th Avenue.
It's a beautiful property. I lived one street away from it for several years and would past it regularly. My house was smaller, but older having been built in 1697 for a ship captain. Marblehead is a wealth of history.
you native probably have some interesting tales of your older home
@@philipbrown6685 Indeed, some of which include paranormal activity. 👻😳
❤❤The twisty carvings on the stair rail are INCREDIBLE !!! ❤❤
Such a beautiful home! I love the staircase! Thanks for showing us all the special little tiny details! And this is a very interesting story. thank you!
I have just found your videos...Wow!
Great production and narration.
The length of the videos are exactly right...not too short or too long.
They're succinct and to the point...very entertaining.
Good job!
Will try to catch up on the last 400+ videos.
Wow, thank you!

I liked the staircase and lower rooms !
I liked the entry hall & staircase. Thanks for sharing.
Georgian architecture, furniture, and even clothing are unparalleled in my opinion. I like the simplicity and structure in the design of almost every component. They show an interesting blend of elegance together with the more functional aspect that creates much of what we see... including in our time, as designers mimic door and wall panels, mullioned windows, and even fireplaces that no longer burn wood. Speaking of which, that house would have been an ice box in the winter months... especially that grand foyer. I looked at the photo as it came up and immediately wondered how they would even attempt to keep the space around that grand staircase warm. Finally, your historical teaser as to how Jeremiah Lee came to his end has piqued my interest in doing a little research. A corn field...sickness...and then death? Surely there's more to that than meets the eye. Thanks for highlighting this important piece of American history.
The Bedroom @ 3:25 is mist welcoming and appealing. 🏆
The drop front desk is as common as how many times as it is shown here. I like the color photos you show. Keep up the good work men.
That beautiful staircase!!!
How about a piece on Paul Revere Williams? He was the first African-American architect in the AIA; first African-American AIA Fellow& first African-American AIA Gold Medal honoree. He was known as "Hollywood's Architect" & "The Architect to The Stars". It would be be a fitting piece for Black History Month.
Thank you for the suggestion, cheers!
The great hall with its natural finish woodwork is really lovely. Gun running paid well.
