Grandma Mary's House : One Last Look
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ธ.ค. 2010
- I prepared this montage as a tribute to my Grandma Mary's house, which was built in the 1930's and will be taken apart over the next few weeks due to age and flood damage.
I offer this as a tribute to this remarkable woman, and to the Salao-Santos family as well, with whom I share so many precious memories in this house.

Found this long 7 years after your posted. Just goes to show the memory has lived on.
Grandma Mary house should be a museum. Gorgeous.
This was a GORGEOUS home. So much detail not just in the house but the furnishings as well. Rest well Grandma Mary ❤ Thank you for sharing.
It is very sad how beautiful old and vintage homes and their interior get torn down down to build new.
Nothing is like the original.
Thank you for sharing a beautiful part of your happy childhood.
It's really hearth breaking to see this house turn into dust.
Thank you for, documenting your Lola Mary's house. I perfectly remember the house. I grew up in Malabon and I know your Tita Chona and Dandy. Nelson, your uncle, or your father? is a good friend and textmate. Yes, it is sad to see the house go. But as you said the memories will always be there. Yes it is sad to see the house go. But as you said the memories will always be there. Your Lola Mary was a beautiful and gracious lady who loved to dance.
What a magnificent, cheery and welcoming home. It's a terrible shame for it to have been destroyed. The design and craftsmanship is incredible. I'm sure there were plenty of warm and happy memories made there! Ms. Lola Mary was a very beautiful lady.
Kind of too late for me to comment. I just came across this video by accident. Never been so moved. I can relate to what you said. Definitely politics, economics and time will bring down a house. This house would have been perfect at the Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bataan (pre-WWII homes). My family's old homes suffered the same fate especially when Pinatubo erupted and we now only have pictures and memories of the past. No matter what kind of home, it's the family spirit that's never torn.
What a beautiful home. Grandma must have been a character. A good one. God bless you.
What a beautiful memory. She must have been a special lady.
Stunning. She lives everywhere in everything.
love this old house, they should have sold it to Sulyap Gallery Cafe for restoration.
they din't make this kind of architicture design no more
I am so saddened and teary eyed I'm so depressed of the seen thinking that this house cost million and a very beautiful details I really wish your family will restore this ancestral
This house is amazing - the architectural & decorative elements are unique. Such a shame it will be lost- but not in your memories. Lola Mary was no doubt a wonderful grandmother- a matriarch. Thank you for sharing.
What a beautiful memory. Thanks.
so sad for what happen in this house with great architecture and fabulous stuff. its only shown how grand and glorious the past was. i salute your ancestors for building this magnificent house. its all amazing indeed.
Beautiful and beautifully done. Even 8 yrs later I find this so very moving.
This was the most touching Memorial I have ever seen..it paints a picture of how good and loving your Grandmother Mary was, you could tell that she was a religious person and that it was important to her that others noticed that..her home was very Beautiful!!! And I so appreciate you sharing your memories with us..that made it even more special. Thank you again for the journey of your Grandmother Marys home...God Bless you.
What a fabulous house. Even more fabulous is that over 70,000 people have now seen your grandma's house, thanks to you. Bravo!
cried watching this! So precious and yet so sad. I hope you kept some of the things from your Grandma Mary's home! So beautiful!
I did, too!
I cried, too
I HOPE that 7 years ago you salvaged all that beautiful art work and didnt let it go to trash
Enola Brown And pieces and parts of the house..doors, frames, stair railings, etc...
I sure hope so. There were some museum quality items there.
Lola Mary was a very beautiful woman if that was her picture at the end such a sweet dedication to your grandmother God bless
And here in 2018 someone else sees your memories. Beautiful. I hope her items were kept in the family. Irreplaceable. ... Breathtaking ..
OPULENCIA Y BELLEZA EN TODO SU APOGEO MARY Y TU FAM FUERON GRANDEMENTE BENDECIDOS Q HERMOSOS RECUERDOS
From the look of the things inside this beautiful home, your grandma was the type that liked what she liked, and could care less about having everything pulled together as by a interior designer. I am very much like that myself. She had a lot of eclectic pieces that were simply beautiful. I hope the family managed to get all of these items out of the home before having to leave it completely.You have put together one of the most beautiful dedication memorial videos I have ever seen. Your love comes through the screen to affect every viewer. You are a very caring and special person. Thank you for sharing this beauty and your own with us.
William Roden Yes agreed !!! I've been a Floral Designer for 30 years. Nothing today has that feeling. I've always felt we need to do what we feel. It always comes out amazing. Not about money.
That is a pretty home
It was a beautiful home. I also hope that the furniture etc. was removed n maybe restored.
Sorry it all looks awful, lie to going to fall down, what a renga rojec
FYI: A few interior designers (myself included) collect beautiful, interesting things & hve studio space at home- eschewing the "cookie cutter" sensibility of an ideal looking home.
Wonderful tribute to your lovely grandmother...there is no love like the love from a grandparent.
Beautiful memoir...thanks for sharing
What a wonderful home. I'll bet it was awesome in it's prime. You're a sweet heart, one can tell you loved Lola Mary dearly. How fortunate she was.
Absolutely beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. You will have the memories of your Grandmother and her home for a lifetime. Life is a season, constantly changing but our memories will live forever! I see your Grandma will ask a believer in Lord, I pray God has blessed her with many mansions in heaven. ❤
What a unique and beautiful home. SO sad to think it will be gone. Lovely video tribute to a lovely lady!
This entire house and its contents are a dream come true. I wish people had the capacity to preserve it so that future generations could enjoy it. I'm so sorry for its loss.
You are a wonderful grandson. Some grandchildren don't care about what an old lady might have left behind but you do honor to the life she lived. I hope you got to keep something to remember her by.
No one ever really dies ...Your grandma lola Mary will always live on inside ur heart
What a wonder LADY I imagine your Grandma Mary to have been. I know you will cherish your memories and share them with your children.
This is sad that you have to demolish a beautiful house. Gone are your childhood memories and a piece of history to us. Thank you for sharing.
The house seems to cry out for everyone to come back and live within her again. What beautiful memories you must have of your Grandmother. Thank you for sharing. 💕
Wow, amazing memories.... And such a unique house. They certainly don't build them like this anymore. Thank you for sharing.
This video brought tears to my eyes-- what a gorgeous happy home! So sad that the flood ruined it. :( Your grandmother had incredible style-- she was not afraid of COLOR!!! I love that!! & I love all the character in the woodwork etc in this house. It's just incredible. Your grandmother was a creative, fun person- no wonder you loved her!!! Thank you for sharing this tribute and the architecture of her home. I hope in the future they build houses with this type of style. Also, she was a Catholic-- and I love all the saintly figures about her home. I think they are with her now. Beautiful, just beautiful.
What an elegant home and lady they both must have been! Happy memories for you!!
I just came across this video. What a beautiful house and family. So sad the home could not be saved. God bless you and thank you so much for sharing this tribute to your family and their beautiful home.
I would’ve loved your grandmother, Mary. She was eclectic and loved life. I saw it in every frame of your tribute. Thank you for sharing this. I’m so moved that I found this. Simply beautiful.
Gorgeous! If she cannot be saved due to structural damage, please preserve as much of her details and rebuild!
Once more I have been drawn back to share you're love and memories of your grandma Mary. Beautiful home and memories. Thank you for sharing.💝💝💝
What a shame that this beautiful home had to be destroyed! Such beautiful architecture inside and the view from the tower was spectacular! What a wonderful place this must have been to spend time in!
so beautiful she must have been a wonderful grandmother . You are so blessed to have had her I am sad for you that the home you so loved visiting your grandmother will be no more. However your memories shall always be tucked away in your heart to pull out & remember the by gone days that shall never be taken from you !!
Found this video after ten years. Beautiful house and the memories
This brought tears to my eyes, beautiful tribute
Such a beautiful home with sweet memories. The portrait destroyed breaks my heart.
Beautiful! It must have been very sad to see it go.
What a beautiful tribute!! She was blessed to have you as a grandson.
Very poignant ..... thank you for sharing your memories of this wonderful house & home ..... it is easy to feel the love, care & sharing that went on in this home. So sad that it was taken down, but those memories will always be in your heart. Your grandmother was a beautiful lady.
A Beautiful Home filled with Beautiful Memories, thank you for sharing❤
You can see the many different era in this house as it braves through the years of existence. It held so much memories for you and like man, it goes to dust and leaves nothing but special fond memories that will be forever alive in your heart.
I can envision this home when it was NEW in the 1930's. They must have been very blessed to own this fine house.
What a beautiful house. I started crying at the shrouded Virgin Mother, and the statue of Jesus. She must have been an amazing woman. I only pray my four grandchildren remember me with such fondness. God bless Grandma Mary.
That is by far one of the most remarkable tribute i have watched. Seeing that house, its history and value, will always remain there.
Your lola must be happy and crying while watching this video featuring her house.
Beautiful home and beautiful memories I’m sure
This house is a beauty your grand ma mary seems a cheerful person, I hope u keep the house lovely to watch
What unique archtecture!!! How sad all good things come to an end.....eventually. God bless you an d thank you for sharing a part of your life with us. ❤
What a fantastic tribute to your Grandma Mary. Thank you for taking us into her home and sharing a peek into the life of a beautiful person. May your wonderful memories last forever!
Such gorgeous furniture in the house, paintings, and religious statues. I wish beautiful homes like this never had to be torn down. Grandma Mary was a very special person and she has a loving family. I hope everyone took pieces to remember Grandma by. It gives me comfort to hold things that my passed on relatives have left me. Love survives death. Thanks for sharing such a lovely home. 🌼🍀💮🌹
My heart goes out to you, I hope you can keep all the memories of love and laughter with you as she was a very beautiful woman. Thank you for sharing.
Home is where the heart is...and you are blessed to have a generous & elegant heart in sharing your family's legacy of love...Mabuhay & Godspeed always!
Thank you for sharing this with us, and your memories. We had to leave my favorite childhood home when the Ventura Freeway took it via Imminent Domain in 1956. In the years 2004-2008 I searched in vain for our re-located house but could not find it. In 2016 I traveled to Jasper, Texas to see the home my grandparents built in 1952, where I spent many carefree childhood summers, one last time. While I was unable to go inside, I did scatter my parents' ashes there and at my mother's childhood home about a mile away. These old family places are special in a way that words can not describe. I wish someone had made a similar video record of our Sarah Street house while our furnishings were still there and the rooms were intact.
A very touching tribute from a loving grandson. You did well...very well in showing your respect, love and admiration for her. She must have been a wonderful lady.
A grand house indeed! I wonder why the National Historical Commission could not help to restore ancestral houses like this...it's a big waste for this grand house to be torn down. Even the muebles are truly amazing...thanks for sharing.
Dei Garcia more than likely the couple of inches of water were a recurring problem and damaged the base structure.
i love old houses and especially the beautiful music..
Teary eyed at the end part of this video .....
How sad to say farewell to the past, and then letting it go forever but not forgetting.☺😭💕
Amazingly,beautiful home,and furnishings.Sad that man doesn’t,create any thing that beautiful any more.Thank You for sharing this video,congrats on this video.Very nicely done,great job.I think your very lucky to have these memories

I too hope you were able to salvage so much from that incredible home.what a beautiful video, made me cry with all the love you put into it. What a lucky family to,have had generations live in that home and have those precious and warm memories. You are blessed. Thank you for this bittersweet video, tears from me but lovely memories for you . You did a fantastic job with this, and your grandma Lola Mary would be proud!

What a beautiful house may be during its blossom years.
Life was ao simple back then. Your lola was a nice woman. Just by looking at her house. & by he way you ralk about her. ❤️
it is very sad to lose an old home that meant so much to the family.....especially this home showing the personality of the people that lived in it.....I hate to see old home torn down no matter what the reason...You can see the happiness that is ingrained into the walls....people that enjoyed life to its fullest and were very artistic and happy people....Very sad that this home cannot be saved.....
I can tell it was a magnificent place at one time.
What a beautiful home it must have been in its early days! Your grandmother is quite a beauty, as well. Thank you for sharing her story and your memories with us! Very sweet.
What a beautiful house this house should have been preserved
What a wonderful tribute to your grandma. Her home was so beautiful and the furnishings are priceless. I hope you were able to retrieve some items. I could go on and on. The statues, the furniture, all the hand painted trimmings and your memories. Thank you!
She had a beautiful home!! Thanks so much for sharing this with us!!
I work in the architectural salvage business. This stuff is amazing, and if none of it was saved it's a crime against art and history. This is just exquisite.
Heartbreaking and heartwarming. ❤️❤️❤️
So Amazing, Lovely Lola Mary Lives On...Much Love and Respect For You and Your Family.

Beautiful house, lovely music and lovely memories. Thankyou for sharing.
The house is magnificent, but I have to say, your Grandmother's extreme beauty out-shines it 100 times! God bless, and thanks for sharing.
I cried. This touched my soul. You will see her again. She is waiting for you all
A lovely tribute to your grandmother Thank you for sharing your memories
This makes me sad too. I feel the same way about my grandmas house, my parents, aunts and uncles houses. Now, I’m where they were and I hope to be able to give this to my yet unborn grandchildren. The problem is that it all goes by in the blink of an eye. This is a very special home. There are so many treasures here. I’m glad you got to have that in your life....and that you shared it with us. It’s beautiful. God bless you. 💗
I saw both videos over a year ago and had to come back today to watch them yet again. I felt sadness through this but I admire so much the filming of this wonderful treasure-filled house. Im so sorry that this place had to be destroyed. So many wonderful memories for you. Your grandparents live on in your heart. You captured my heart with this. Im sure I will return yet again to watch it a third time, I hope its still here when I do. Thank you
wow, Absolutely Awesome, for starting off with them from Somewhere In Time, sad that movie never became a hit..
& for the house, Gorgeous. for such a gorgeous property, sad to see it's being taken apart due to age & flood damage..
Your Grandma has to be smiling for such a treasured memory here..
Very nice tour. My heart aches for you seeing this house in such disrepair and flooding
So beautiful. I'm glad you made these final images; someday your grandchildren will see them and know their family history.
A grand old house. I know you will miss this place. She had an awesome house.
BEAUTIFUL...!!!!!
