@@PeaceToAll-sl1db That was if you were a lumber baron and could afford anything. Didn't you watch the video? He greatly over-engineered the house, because he could.
@@PeaceToAll-sl1db What do the unions have to do with it? Business leaders want to profit as much as possible, so they make cheap houses. People want cheap houses and have no standards in America, so they buy those paper homes. You get crap work because you put up with crap work, not because of unions.
Love Detroit. Lived in Flint for a few years and now between both. Detroit has one of the richest histories of any American city in my opinion. Much of it has been forgotten but is still there to find.
Very rich history between the early French settlers, Indians, old Fort Wayne, and Hamtramcks old polish community that is now quite the culturally diverse place. Its all awesome :)
Thank you for sharing this history..born Detroit '36...long gone from there but it is my heart home. Love watching the current TV series 'rehab addict' where vintage Detroit homes are being restored with great love and passion.
2024. I'm sure you're now enjoying the series "Bargain Block." I love those two guys (and their work crew). Seeing people get fired up about restoring neglected houses is like giving a new career to a faded movie star, restoring her beauty and reviving our spirits.
It is so refreshing to see this beautiful house being used for the enjoyment of the people of Detroit. Much of the news of Detroit we receive here in Australia is centered around the decline of the city having lost its lead in motor vehicle manufacturing. Although you may have lost many treasures from the past it is encouraging to know that there is another side to the story. Your city will certainly experience a renaissance with the good will of its people. I wish you well!
I'm a Detroit native and saw the outsides of many of these spectacular mansions but seldom the interiors. After the wanton destruction of its many architectural beauties during the modernization era, I'm glad to see that all was not lost. Thank you, William, for your eyes alert to beauty that men of imagination, skill, and labor created in the Age of Craftsmanship. I'm confident you're moving through life with great awareness. Peace and Joy to you.
I'm happy to see the Whitney mansion restored. My mother used to tell me stories about Bush Street and how she and her friends used to drive along it sometimes just to admire the architecture of the homes.
Thank you for keeping the Whitney's Integrity. I was born and raised in Detroit. I remember most of these old homes. Along with many others that have been torn down.
I love this place and very good friends with general manager Big Dave. Be sure when you visit to ask for the tour. Before COVID the outdoor parties were great with live music. Great showcase
Detroit was a very beautiful city; I have photos of my grandparents taken there in the 1920s and it was immaculate and unrecognizable, everything so elegant. Then Jamal and Latitia moved in and do what they do in every city, every country...
Right you are. I've been to Europe many times there's so much history, buildings 10× older than this, churches etc that are still standing. Look at Notre Dame, from the 13th century, that fire two years ago in a modern church in America would of burned completely to the ground, the church has a lot still in good condition and being restored

This is a Beautiful Building, showing off the Styles of the Wealthy at the time. Imagine Edison doing your electrical work! That's being in the right place, at the right time, with the money to back it up.
@@kevinkiss3340 post war it had the same problems as almost every city in America, but a ridiculously corrupt police force. When the Black community got sick of being pushed around in ‘67, the cops got blue flu. Surprisingly, Most white Detroiters accurately blamed the cops, which made them mad. They started only showing up when they wanted, so more people left the city as crime got worse. They diverted funds from education, which caused more people to leave. When you have kids you have to make different choices. However, unlike New York, L.A. and Chicago, it did not get the round of Gen X repopulation in the late 80s and 90s, made worse by Oakland county actively stealing businesses from the city. The 80s and 90s are often considered the lowest point in the city. Part of why the turn around is happening is because the 2008 financial crisis had a lot of Millennials who would have left be forced to stay, and put their talent towards the city. This along with the already existing and Passionate neighborhood groups.
Nice technical touches in describing the restoration. Such as Thomas Edison himself installing the 2 pre-1900 electrical fixtures, and the safe which was built so you'd have to destroy the house in order to break into it. They mention the specific woods in the floors and coffered ceilings, and describe the silk paintings that used music scrolls as backing. Magnificent.
What a beautiful home!! Amazing!! I grew up in the Detroit area & spent time in Detroit but I didn’t know anything about the Whitney. Thank you for restoring this architectural treasure!!
Absolutely gorgeous, thank you so much for the tour. It really touched my heart. I am so glad to see beautiful places restored and preserved. I loved hearing about the Whitney's life.
I look forward to someday visiting this beautiful historic mansion! It’s such a shame Detroit didn’t keep more of these homes. From the old pictures I see the streets and neighborhood was just breathtaking! How fortunate for this stately restaurant!
Beautifully preserved. I hope there are preservation protections on both the interior and exterior. This should become a museum if the restaurant ever decides to discontinue. In the meantime, I would enjoy a trip to this restaurant when we can all travel again!
This is just so beautiful! I love all those tall cellings The art stain glass! Just everything is so georgous! I don't even see homes build like that anymore. Now this is a beauty! This is one of the best things you all could of ever done! Thanks for sharing!
What a wonderful tour for me to go on on a dreary Sunday afternoon in Ohio!!! The Whitney is absolutely fabulous, with so many details and such perfect accents in all areas, including the wood, draperies, wainscoting, panels, stained glass windows and panels made by Mr. Tiffany himself, staircases, railings, trims, busts, window stylings, all so detailed and perfect as to continue to shout affluence and aristocracy in a time when all of that has been forgotten!!!! It was a distinct pleasure to tour this unbelievable establishment in Detroit, my home town. I am 65 and can't believe I've never before toured this facility!!!!! Thank you for this most opulent virtual opportunity!!!!!!
I've always wondered if the public was allowed in here. All of these years living in Detroit and have not witnessed and enjoyed this beauty! 🙆🏾♀️🙆🏾♀️🙆🏾♀️ I'm going to go here for my 30th birthday. #MissChristineChronicles
When I was a little girl my dad and I spent a lot of time at the Detroit historical museum. I was fascinated with the dioramas showing the history of Detroit. My Great grandfather’s cartoon hung in the goodfellows room. My great aunt Eliza’s sewing box stood in the entry. I went back a few years ago and everything was gone. It was all about the Tigers and now defunct Hudson’s. I finally found a small memorial to Antoine De Cadillac, no mention of Madame Cadillac, anywhere. The streets in the basement were still there. That was about it.
I have the same lovely light green carpet in my house also I now own my dads house after his passing 2 yrs ago where he also had the same carpets. This house is absolutely beautiful throughout especially the windows both painted and colour glazed. Just think of all the other building that have many of these beautiful features yet they are being neglected, vandalised or both. We will never build stuff like this again due to costs and time so we should be saving as much as possible right now instead of replacing in the future with cheap steel and brick that can't last as long.
How beautiful. It makes me cry at the beauty put together there. I would love a week of days to study the house. I am not a professional architect. But I do love beauty that man can create.
Great...on my next visit to the region will definitely visit. I did a walking tour of of Detroit 2 years ago and was very impressed by the sense of community and dedication.
The pink jasper is gorgeous! Tiffany stained glass windows made by Louis Tiffany and Thomas Edison lights that Edison installed . The "fabulous" just keeps getting better and better!
What an amazing building! I've only been inside briefly and was totally impressed by the decor and craftsmanship. I'd love to return for dinner and the tour!
This is a beautiful place! We had the pleasure of dining here for my sister's 40th, 4 years ago..The experience was great, food was great! I'd definitely go back again!
Thank you for sharing this fascinating history. This beautiful structure will definitely be on everyone’s must visit list & an anchor attraction to assist revitalization. Cheering the new owner for his commitment. Thoroughly enjoyed the owner’s and the historian’s narration. And what a brilliant idea to move guests to different locations during their visit. Wishing the owner and all of Detroit a vibrant future.
This was an Amazing tour & history of the Whitney House in Detroit. I'm from Port Huron & had heard of the Whitney House. But, never imagined the grandeur of this house outside let alone the inside. This house is beyond beautiful. Mr. Whitney brought in the most beautiful material from around the world & had the most amazing works of Art put into his home. From the stained glass windows to the immaculate designs to the floors & ceilings. The fireplaces are exceptional with All different designs & materials to create them. Lastly, I was truly amazed to learn that Thomas Edison💡 himself put in the electrical system in the Whitney House. I'm just in awe of the whole Whitney House. Questions: Are Reservations needed to eat here? or for the tours? Have there been any hidden treasures left behind from Mr. & Mrs. Whitney? The Whitney's bedrooms were shown & the guest bedrooms were mentioned. But, nothing about children. ...did they have any children? Thank You for sharing this Amazing video of the Whitney House.
Great questions and I wondered if there were servants quarters and also the basement...Does it have a wine cellar or any tunnels. Often these old relics had secret passageway 's. Fascinating.
So glad to see my hometown did preserved this unfortunately all the other beautiful homes and with lots of history left are aboned and cost to much to restore😠🤔🤦😢
For those of you outside of Michigan, at 23:46, Mr. Moriarity was referring to the city of Ypsilanti, which is east of Ann Arbor, MI. Great video. Thanks for producing it.
Worked at The Whitney as a valet parking attendant. Fun times, great place. In the summers they have garden parties with live bands all you can drink booze. Live Jazz at Ghost Bar upstairs every weekend.
A LAW FIRM BOUGHT THIS AND BROUGHT IT BACK TO ITS GLORY!!! THIS IS NOW CALLED THE BOSTON-EDISON AREA!!! ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT!!! OLD CRAFTSMANSHIP IS PHENOMENAL!!!
What a beautiful House, but you should also check out Friar Park in Henley on Thames, UK built in 1898 by Sir Frank Crisp ! That man spared no expense & created a one of a kind mansion with grounds including a scale replica of the Matterhorn !
Very nice. I keep forgetting that you Americans number your floors differently to us King's English users. Ground floor/First floor/Second floor mutatis mutandis First floor/Second floor/Third floor in the U.S. I'm asking myself if Lesieur Whitney had any kauri woodworks from Aotearoa/New Zealand installed in his bastiment. Kauri was all the rage in the Victorian age, especially for high-end furnitures, so much so that the Kauri tree is now precious to us here in eNZed. They take a very long time to grow: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C4%81ne_Mahuta
Love detroit but they deport me to México i lost house job years of work for nothing almost 15 years... anyway always One part of detroit always is in my heart werever I'm going
Beautiful building I'm so glad someone had the money and insight to restore a building the origonal way it looked when Detroit was a busy city. Everyone was working spending money at different shops it was money exchanging for goods made in the states. Too bad the rest of the city looks like crap I wouldn't want to be there after dark?
Surprisingly the downtown area is very safe. Cameras equipped with facial recognition are everywhere. I suggest paid parking lots as it is extremely busy today as opposed to 10 years sgo when it was a ghost town. Thats when I lived there. Also youll see many officers as well. :)
The house wasn't over-engineered, it was built to last. With some exceptions, we build things today as disposable junk.
Ya right particle board lol. Go to Europe, this what you see is normal in Europe, some buildings are 500-1000+ years old still open and gorgeous
Exact! Over here we are not building "disposable junk"
Being in Detroit you could purchase it for a dollar now
Ideat... Gross exaggeration on yer part.
Yep
Wish they still made houses like this. The craftsmen really new their trade
