- Опубліковано 23 бер 2022
- Welcome to our historic home tour of the Horace Franklin Rogers MANSION for sale! At the end of the 19th an beginning of the 20th century Fort Smith was a border town; the last stop on many wagons trains headed out West. Just past the city limits was then Indian Territory, not Oklahoma.
Infamous outlaws like Belle Star, the James, Dalton and Younger gangs many more used Fort Smith as their home base with easy access into Indian Territory, where the laws of the United States did not extend. The town contained both high society and a nefarious underground, part of which was a thriving Red Light district with a slew of legal and highly regulated brothels.
On the opposite side of the societal coin were the business man building huge empires, fortunes and homes at the beginning of the 20th century. One of those business men was Horace Franklin Rogers, who owned a brick manufacturing plant. Once can see his bricks used on the exterior of this beautiful home.
The interior is an eclectic mix of a multitude of styles that were popular at the time, and those that were just coming into vogue as the home was being built. The inside features elements that were popular in Vicotorian homes, Art Nouveau homes, as well as Arts and Crafts era structures and even a touch of Art Deco.
Best of all, a huge majority of the original design and details remains intact. Yes, this home is a fixer-upper. The last time she was updated was in 1997, so many late 20th century remuddles need to be removed. But once your rehabilitation is complete you will have a show place ready to be enjoyed for generations to come!

My brother owned this house from 1992 until he passed away in 1995. I then owned it until I sold it in 1996. I loved this house. It was so wonderfully built!
Just curious, why did you sell after just one year?
This is the type of house that hurts when you sell it. You always hope the buyer loves it as much as you did
Ivo hello. You and I haven’t seen each other in over 26 years. Your brother was Don. You last saw me at the Glass Hat. My partner and I operated the Glass Hat in 1994 We also did work for Don restoring the columns on the front porch Mike and Tim
It truly is beautiful !!
Incredible! The house is stunning!
I drive past this house every single day, and have always wanted to see the inside. Its just as beautiful as I imagined
If it wasn't on such a busy road it would have sold so fast!
Same here!! I drive by it all the time I loved seeing the weddings they held there.
I don't know what I am more excited about, all of the steps leading up to the front porch separated by columns, the amazingly wide entry way, the Beautiful staircase or the outstanding built in's!!!! in my search for an older home i see so much of the original details and Character of a home Lost to white & gray paint and faux wood flooring... this home is outstanding
I immediately started to plan furniture layout … I even began a list of cleaning projects and products that I would need, trying to keep a running tally of costs as you took us through each room - and quickly came to the conclusion that without the lottery jackpot this beautiful home will live in my dreams. This place is absolutely stunning…I hope her next owner will be her champion so that she can shine as brightly as she once did.
This is such a jewel of a home, sure hope the buyer will appreciate the beauty of the past and be sure to preserve it for the future generations.
That stained glass window on the landing of the stairs brought a tear to my eye… breath taking. I hope someone will buy this and make it an enchanting home.
Oh my gosh, as I began watching this video I realized my husband and I stayed in this home in 1998, for a family wedding. I positively LOVE this house.
Oh my! What a stunning home. I would have loved to own this if I had a large family. Every detail, the wood, the wavy glass and built in's, I would take this home over a new home any day! So beautiful. So glad to have found you and all the beautiful homes you showcase with the history!❤
"This is a room that says I've made a lot of money" is very on point for Ft. Smith
When I see anything above 5 foot paneling in a dining room, I just know there’s a plate rail on the top of it!!!! One of my favorite old home features!!!
@chuck How are you doing? I hope you are doing great
What a beautiful home! In today's world homes even with their high prices can not come close to this. Once again Thank You!
I could certainly see it as a bed and breakfast, a home this big and historic should be shared as a memorable retreat and get away.
I lived in Fort Smith years ago and was so in love with this home. I came back there last year to see that it was empty again. Sadness.
This house is gorgeous, thank you for sharing! That stained glass and unpainted woodwork is to die for! ❤️ My cousin owns a 1901 Queen Anne that really does have a ballroom on the third floor, though I agree with you, going up the servants staircase to the third floor is strange! It doesn’t cover the entire third floor, but it’s there. The house was a church at one time, and some services were held up there.
WOW!! Genuinely just love the layout of this home! Extremely well thought out. And expertly designed for its time.
And just a miracle from above that not only does it still have all its beautiful built-ins, but they weren't painted!
I firmly believe there's a proper circle for wood to be painted. However, it would have been criminal for either the gorgeous buffet or bookcases to be painted.
Ooohhhh, just love ❤️ this one!! Cannot thank you enough for sharing!
Totally brightened my WEEK!
I remember "Upstairs, Downstairs." I find that I'm often very intrigued and drawn to servants quarters. Maybe because I love nooks and crannies and enclosed staircases, especially when they are enclosed and winding to boot. Thanks for sharing! Much appreciated.
These little servants quarters would make a great office
I was raised in Fort Smith and have driven by the house numerous times. Thanks for the tour.
Beautiful home in the great border town of Ft. Smith, Ar! I've lived here my entire life and I love it! This has somewhat of a 'Graceland' feel to it to me, love it!!
I grew up in Fort Smith. When I was a little girl Dr. Cabell lived there. He was the best Pediatrician.
Such a beauty!!!! 😍🥰
Fantastic job narrating the tour! Your knowledge is exceptional!
I do like your series a lot, the homes are wonderful. The windows you call stained glass we call leadlight both in the UK and here in New Zealand and stained glass is the more church style of window design when the glass is made up of multiple pieces of intricate design coloured glass or painted glass. Keep showing us those beautiful houses we all want to buy
I love touring those old homes, I imagine what it was like in those days. And the people living there and what they did at that time. I just loving peeking into those beautiful old homes. It just makes my days so much better, on such sad times in this life. Keep up the great work, I just love it! 💓
Magnificent! Woodwork is amazing, must be preserved. The quality is timeless! God Bless!😇🙏
This has always been one of my favorite houses.....so gorgeous. It’s on one of the busiest roads in town (named after the owner of this house) on a great lot. As long as I can remember it has been a commercial property. It has been a bed and breakfast (as shown with the odd bathtubs) and an event hall. I am glad much of the original woodwork and lighting hasn’t been modernized. Thanks for showcasing it!!
💜 the Deco light!!! I could see a magnificent entrance of someone dressed to impress coming down the main staircase. The stain glass would be awesome selfie background. When you see a house with no furniture it's easier to fantasize of what you could do in the rooms. Great hair day!!! KnL thanks for your channel!
I love this style of house, so beautiful. There is a beautiful craftsman home in my neighborhood with a original front door similar to that, I think it might be 4' wide.
Lots of old houses have soft wood floors on the upper levels, not only is it cheaper but it's also quieter
The Victorian home I grew up in had the soft pine wood floors upstairs. I never thought about them being quieter. A good point.
Impressive! Both the house and your informative tour.
That buffet in the dining room, oh my Lord, gorgeous!!!! What a beautiful home!!!!
So well built, solid, and handsome property. I hope it falls into appreciating hands. The wall space for art is perfect for a collector, and the home potential for comfortable modern living is amazing.
An incredible home! Oh to have to funds to restore this home. So much fun.
I suspect that such a huge rectangular entry hall would have been the place for the formal dances and not the smaller formal parlors. Great video.
Oh my god what an amazing home and that staircase wraparound hall upstairs absolutely stunning I just love that home I can dream
Thank You! This is one of my favorite tours. The 'transitional' design elements are all so elegant, and it doesn't hurt that the stained glass is green and red, always my first choice. I prefer seeing the perfect proportions of this house without other people's furniture, as the gorgeous woodwork (I'm practically swooning!) can shine. What joy to see so many of the original features preserved...but that's what we are all about here, right? :)
Absolutely amazing property, just gorgeous!! I would live here the way it is! If a family were smart they would pool their resources and live together, like 4 siblings for 200,000$ each!! Incredible to have a property like this!
I love it! Every room. The stained glass is just right, not too elaborate. Ok, I didn’t like the jacuzzi tubs but nothing is perfect. The outside stairs would have to go. It is beautiful.
The camera work on this video is great! Also, love discovering the name for low wainscoting - “Bishop’s board!”
Immaculate and stunning.
OMG I love Ft Smith there is so much history and beautiful homes there...I think Ive seen this house....Thanks for sharing
In regards to the third floor apartment I would definitely make it look more in cohesion with the two first floors instead of going from old beautiful to brand new modern. It just clashes. Hope the new owner/s do as well.
It’s so good to see you! You seem to come across the most beautiful homes! This home is our only in my dreams😁 you you and Kevin have made my dreams come true by watching your channel thank you for sharing some exquisite homes!💎
Drive by it often. Wow! Never knew of the beauty of the inside! Work of art!
@Jim Okloniewski How are you doing? I hope you are doing great
I enjoyed the tour. I've seen this house listed but wasn't sure, since it had last been a bed and breakfast. Ft. Smith is a beautiful small town. It was emptied out, after Bill Clinton signed NAFTA. Strange he destroyed his own state. Most of the manufacturing left and went to China. You'll see listed CEO's mansions listed for $13 million. Even the old Acme Brick Company finally closed down. I was hoping under Trump, Ft. Smith would get back to employing everyone again, from the small towns surrounding Ft. Smith. Love to see this house restored again. Very beautiful and a part of history.
Once again Thanku for beautiful vlog
Nice to see yet another home with unpainted woodwork. Mine is c 1905 and has not been painted. There seem to be a lot more of these around this part of the country❤
This is an amazing home. I just found out my family lived in this town at one point how exciting to know they would have seen this home. Thank you for sharing
@Terry Thomas How are you doing? I hope you are doing great
A beautiful old home . It has everything in it that i would want . Thank you for showing it to all of us .
I was married in that property. The owner of the bed and breakfast was absolutely wonderful.
-Handsome, solid, dynamite house. May it have a dignified future!
Stunning home, and yeah for the beautiful (not painted) woodwork. Thank you for the tour.
You guy's bring us some of the most Beautiful homes to tour. This house is Absolutely Beautiful just perfect and Thank You for this Amazing video keep them coming!!!
I live in Fort Smith and I've always wondered what it looks like inside. I knew it would be beautiful, but wow! It was a bed and breakfast for a while, and they used to do a lot of weddings and receptions. I drove past it the other day and used the circle drive on the side to turn around and noticed that the carriage house has fallen in and it's not being looked after and it just makes me want to cry to see this gorgeous house falling into ruin. I hope someone will buy it and save it. It would be such a shame to lose such a beautiful piece of history.
Sue here: stunning!!! Love every inch.
My oh my this one is my favorite so far and in one of my favorite states.. it has my favorite colors in it although most people have no idea what i mean when they ask and i say irrdescent
Thank you so much for showing this home and all the homes on your channel!!!
Beautiful. I wouldn’t change a thing.

This is one of the most fantastic gorgeous treasures I have ever seen
I love, love, LOVE when you showcase this style of home! I adore all the styles you show and enjoy the subtle and not-so-subtle differences, but the Arts and Crafts, Prairie Style, and even Nouveau times just speak to my soul! I so deeply appreciate you adding them into to the glorious rotation of Victorian Ladies and endearing Federalist Gentlemen. 💜💜💜
Breathtaking home! Thank you!♥️♥️♥️
