    The widow's walk and gas lantern is such a nice touch to the house.

    Gosh what a beautiful Mini-Mansion. What a wonderful house that would be to live in!

      Not really where it's located though. Crime and no privacy.

    It’s so good to see a property that has been restored so well. I like the colours and the pattern on the tiles roof. Thank you Ken.

    Love the bullseye windows.

      Me too. All the windows were unique, but the circular ones made me REALLY wish I had one!!

      Hopefully we will be able to tour it when things get back to normal again.

      Agree completely on getting inside! As a San Francisco native, I beg to differ on the largest collection of Victorian houses. Unless I'm wrong on my dating. I'll bet you CAN say brick vs redwood and make that statement correct.

      Its all super modern 1970's inside.

    That park brings back memories of the jazzy folk music of the Geyer street sheiks playing under the pavilion while we gathered, each of us bringing a dish. That made the 1990s a very special time

    Beautiful. I would like to see inside as well. Thank you. Pat from Dayton, Ohio.

    I moved away from STL 6 years ago, and one of the things I miss most is the architecture. Really been enjoying your videos, Ken!

      The roofs on 1800's buildings were spectacular. I would have loved to have seen how they built them. We lost something special when Victorian architecture went out of style.

    Interesting. Not very big, but quite tall. I like how big the tower is in relation to the rest of the building.

    I live in Michigan, but we have that style of beautiful homes here too. I loved ♥ the widow's walk ,windows, brick work too. Thanks for the wonderful video, but it would have been cool to see the inside too.

    What a lovely building. The color scheme of the restoration is spot-on...I'm a fan of green and red. I too love those round windows. I had no idea St. Louis had such a beautiful large park. Is this location far from where the World's Fair site?

    • @ThisHouse
      @ThisHouse  2 роки тому +4

      The World's Fair was at Forest Park, which isn't too far from here.

    A police station?!!! Even multi-million dollar mansions aren't built to this standard today. What a stunning building. Thanks for the nicely done video.

    My dream is to have a Victorian style original home on Salem, Mass and restore it. Not modern but keep as much of its charm as possible

    It looks just like the Governor’s Mansion in Jefferson City. I googled and discovered it was built around the same time.

  • @kathyrickey1181

    Just curious, did the illustrator Charles Addams ever visit St. Louis? I'm definitely getting Addams Family vibes from this police house...

    Ok, this was very informative but not going inside. Surely someone on the committee could find a key. Better luck next time.

  • @petemanning1768
    @petemanning1768 2 роки тому +2

    I've been in this and it's more of a meeting/office space. Not house-like on the inside.

      Wow, that was rude! Can't you just enjoy the fact that he showed us this beautiful building and told us the history of it? Also, if you read his comments, he mentioned he would like to visit the interior at a later date.
