  • Chilly morning in Georgia! The house was built in 1815 in a typical I frame house which is very common in the south then expanded on to accommodate a large family and given the Victorian features in the late 1800’s! One of my favorite houses I have ever had the pleasure of filming! I loved everything about this place!! Thanks for watching! Happy new year too everyone!!

    Whoever built this house 200 years ago had some money. That house is outstanding and the woodwork is exquisite. This isnthe time I wish I was rich to rehab this beautiful home.
    Most southern homes don't have basements because of the low country being below the water table. They usually built their homes higher off the ground to prevent flooding.

    The bathroom upstairs was originally a maid's bedroom. That's why she had her own staircase down to the kitchen. And the small room at the beginning with the window benches may have been a music room. There would have been a piano in there, and the benches were for the violinists and flautists with their music stands in front of them--musical accompaniment for entertaining. I know of another old mansion that had the same type of room, and the owners told me what it was. Lovely old home. Heartbreaking to see the lack of interest in preserving it.

    This house is interesting in that it would have been built before the Victorian era, before the curved porches and gingerbread. Six over windows are used in Federal (Colonial) style houses, which is what this one originally was. It was heavily remodeled in the late 1800s when the towers, porch and interior gingerbread details would have been added. The doorknob you thought was from the '20s or '30s is actually from the 1800s. Amazing that all the mirrors in the fireplaces are still intact and not vandalized. I hope the vandals never find it.

    • @greyeaglem
      @greyeaglem 3 роки тому +9

      @@chalcedony6858 I just have an amateur level interest in architecture. I wish I had studied it, but I didn't. If you have a project like that the best advice I could give would be to do all the research you can about that era. If you hire people to work on it, try to find ones that are also interested in architecture. A lot of damage gets done by people not caring about maintaining the integrity of the original design and often because it adds a lot of cost to the project. I know a guy who did a restoration that cost more than the house did. He does have a beautiful house now though. He even had stained glass pieces made for windows that were copies of designs from a local stained glass company from the 1800s. He also found a place that still makes the push button electric switches that were original to the house. He had a lot of fun finding companies that could copy light fixtures, etc. for him.

      @@vannjunkin8041 Now I'm not so sure it was remodeled. I have seen another video since then of another brick house that is part federal, part Queen Ann and part gothic. At first I thought it was built onto, but now I'm thinking it was built all at once with mixed styles because it has 6 over windows throughout. I may be wrong though because it also had the windows that come all the way down to the floor and that was more of an antebellum thing. Really hard to say. If part of the house has 6 over windows and the other part is single or two pane windows, then it's likely colonial with an addition.

    If the house is as old as you say it is then it went through a major Remodel and modernization in the 1890s. The turrets gingerbread and a witches cap Rubes are very Queen Anne. Inside several of the mantles were apparently changed. The mantle in the dining room and the ceiling there look also to be Circa 1890s. The white mantle is colonial revival again Circa 1890s. The staircase and stairwell Hall AR aesthetic movement with Japanese influence again Circa 1890s.

Tongue and Groove ceilings, each fireplace as beautiful as the last, incredibly intricate parquet floor (reminiscent of ancient mosaic tile) in the entrance hall, and that wonderful staircase... I always like the workmanship of the windows of these old places, with their prisms, etched or colored glass, and the designs of the panes. (While I can understand the uninspired new kitchen and bathroom appurtenances---cabinets, plumbing, and such---I know there are "New-Old" replacements for the originals available, but...)

    Hey Kappy, this is a real beauty, from the outside, at least. It needs a coat of paint, but most of us older belles do, from time to time! The houses were built high off the ground back then to keep them nearer to the cooling breezes in the summer.
    This verandah is so nice! Who wouldn't enjoy some iced tea out here? I know one fellow who would really like that!
    That fireplace surround is lovely. Stunning pocket doors and their hardware, too! The expansive use of colors in the house is amazing! I think that's called a coffered ceiling, Kappy. That fireplace treatment is gorgeous!
    Those floors are beyond beautiful and the carving on every inch of exposed wood is just over the top. I like the address etched into the transom over the front door. Hope nobody figures out where this house is from that.
    There's so much plain old garbage in this one! The kitchen is an absolute dump! It really looks like someone was squatting in this house, not too long before you were here! Goodness, that fireplace surround is so beautiful! Look at all those cans of coffee! Wonder if they're empty or full. Looks like someone was stocking up on everything they could to be able to stay here and not be seen going in and out. Hey Zane! Glad you're here to keep old Kappy out of trouble.
    Another pretty fireplace surround! Yes, it wouldn't take all that much money to bring this house back to life. It deserves a second chance!
    These turrets are so charming! I'd enjoy some of that coffee out there with a good book.
    It's almost jarring, to see laptops on the floor of this house, a real time warp. You know, there must be an active electrical connection to this house. How else could someone power the microwave, lights, the floor fan or the laptops? It's just another mystery.
    The ballerina wallpaper border would make me think this was a girl's room. Maybe there was a balcony outside the door to the drop off but it fell down.
    You know, seeing those clothes hanging there, I think someone is living here now! They look relatively clean and new.
    This last room is a mess! That, um, break your leg staircase to the attic is an insurance claim waiting to happen! Glad you didn't try it!
    Well, maybe someone was living there and was evicted but nobody cleared up their mess or maybe they're watching you and wondering what you're doing there.
    A dumb waiter! How cool! The mannequin is sort of creepy, though.
    Whatever is the story of this Magnificent old lady, she deserves to be saved. Maybe the city will help to save this forgotten jewel. I sure hope so.
    Thanks, Kappy and Zane. This one, though puzzling, was a joyful trip.

    Higher-minded people built that house. Compare that house to the dog kennels we accept today. Those houses have soul - you feel it as soon as you walk in. Closets were the size needed to hang a coat, hat and shoes. People made clothes to last; consumerism was yet to come.

BUT, in the county I live in NO ONE sells property. My home was built in 1902, and my family has lived here since the town, county was formed. Our "family" home place can never be sold nor can money be borrowed against it.

      Not being fought over. The person who bought this house was renovating in back in the 90s. A friend I know was helping him. He died suddenly and the house was eventually sold. It’s been empty for years and my friend has no further info on it. It’s just sitting going to decay. But there’s similar houses in this old town similar to this house being bought, renovated and restored. I’m hoping this house will be saved too.
