    Kappy, l want to take this opportunity to thank you, to thank you for taking us with you to view old homes that we would never have been able to see otherwise.

    Melancholy. That's what I feel -- knowing this old beauty will be destroyed. Oh how grand this gem must've been in its glory days Love the wallpaper, the staircases, just small details now. Kappy, we thank you so much for sharing these treasures of the past ! They can never be replaced ! But then again, seems so few making decisions VALUE their historical signficance or fine craftsmanship or the unique charm of these old homes. Someone once DID ...and the people here viewing these houses also appreciate their worth. It's just sad, losing these old houses to time and another mindset. Maybe some day the pendulum will swing back to appreciation of preserving what has come before. But sadly, probably not.

    This was such an amazing house, enormous, imagine how many lived here plus all the servants in it's day. Any modernisation kept to a minimum and all the original features well maintained, would have liked to have seen the high ceilings it would have had. It would be wicked to pull it down. Very small amount of decay soon spreads. Good that you managed to film it in it's present perfect condition. Preserved❤

    Smudge Pot - Fire Starter
    An old-fashioned device used to easily start a fire in a fireplace, typically a small, often brass container with a handle, sometimes called a "smudge pot," where a piece of flammable material like a stone or pumice would be soaked in fuel oil and then placed under kindling to ignite the fire

    I wonder when this house was last updated. All of that beautiful woodwork has been painted white,, and the paint job does not look all that old - certainly not in original condition. From the outside appearance of the house, I didn't expect it to be in such good condition inside.

    This was a very interesting home …..built in 1855 there were lots and lots of interesting features about the house including the little door close to one of the main fireplaces that couldn’t be opened….curious to what that would have been and what looked to have been an original mantel in another fireplace and a nail or whatever it was that could be removed out of the mantle then put back in the wooden mantle…. My most favorite were the little staircases leading up to the attic….very sharp turns to go up….back then I can imagine people were so tiny….tiny feet as well as those stairs weren’t very large…and nowadays we would have to side step just to get up those stairs…. Such a shame to see this one go……thank you kappy for an amazing time ❤

    Wow, this is a GREAT old house. There is no good reason to tear it down. It would make quite a center piece for a new neighborhood. Right up front and in the middle. It would give real character to a new development. I hope someone has the imagination to see that. But sadly developers don't have any, except on how much $$ they can make. Then move on.

    I was gaining optimism about this house's future until you reached the attic.
    I know of two 19th century houses, whose owners sold the land near the house, but restored the original houses. They are masterpieces compared to the plasti-board pieces of crap around them. Sorry, but it's true.
