Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 лют 2014
- Visit the Hay House, and learn about one of Georgia's most distinguished structures. The Johnston-Felton-Hay House in Macon was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1974. It was built from 1855 to 1859 in the Italian Renaissance Revival style, a marked contrast to the more restrained Greek revival architecture of the antebellum period. Its technological amenities were unsurpassed in the mid-19th century: hot and cold running water, central heat, a speaker-tube system, in-house kitchen and an elaborate ventilation system.

I absolutely love the hallway that is painted to have 3D effect, making it look like there is real molding and chair rails
I lived next door to this house for 12 yrs. Saw alot of things !!!!!!!!
the heating system reminds me of the hypocausts they used in italy and even the way they got the water they must have loved italy the most i remember going here as a kid its so beautiful
Beautiful.
Was a resident at the Children's Home there back in the 80'S
Under that beautiful cement grand staircase is a beautiful wine cellar. I toured this home, it's gorgeous.
@make it make sense I said the building is grand a beautiful place, I never said it was beautiful that slavery was happening there, highly dispise it.
Beautiful looks like a Building not a Home. But Home is what you make it and have peace in 😌
Would like to have seen more of the interior architecture and decor of this magnificent home.
The hay house looks amazing but the attic is freaky
i mean it is haunted
I've been in this house
Beautiful home it very lovelovely
Beautiful .but would cost a fortune to maintain .
He was obviously filthy rich...like the Vanderbilts and Rockefellers.
I think they're spectacular houses but I would really like to be known before I was to purchase a house like this on how much lead paint and asbestos were put in these old houses and this during time?? Their not really saying alot about what was going on in this house that and this was the era that these houses were built in I don't want to know about not knowing if I was going to get cancer or not I don't think a lot of people in that era ever did know about cancer and what was causing cancer in that era
Houses of this period are better built and are healthier than modern houses. Asbestos wasn’t even invented until the 1930’s. These homes were built using natural clay brick and timber. Walls were done in traditional Lime plaster which because of the lime content are naturally a deterrent to mold and moister issues. Lead paint could be an issue but considering that this house is taken care of by the Georgia Trust. They follow federal guidelines regarding construction and maintenance of historic properties. So lead paint would not be an issue. Modern homes off gas so many contaminants compared to historic homes. Everything in a modern home is manufactured using petroleum products. Old homes were just wood and brick.
jayl1968 Asbestos has been in use for thousands of year and mass-scale production and construction use since the 1850s. Original commenter has a valid point, especially since the house was high-tech at the time.
I'm surprised the Yankees did not burn the home. It was a suprisingly advanced home.
I was thinking the same thing. I guess that Sherman didn't march through there, or maybe this guy was a spy for the Yankees!
Sherman’s army bypassed Macon because they thought it was too well protected by confederate militia. There were skirmishes outside the then city limits and a cannonball did hit a house not far from the Hay House. The white classic revival house shown in the video is called the Cannonball House and can be toured. You can see where the cannonball left a dent in the floor. Macon is one of the rare towns to survive Sherman’s March
