Some really beautiful rooms and spaces, the craftmanship was unreal, especially that fountain carved out of one piece of marble! I wonder if that survives somewhere! Interesting history too. I wonder to what extremes they went through, to clear their name!
Someone from this era had a marble staircase carved for their home that took 10 years to carve. When the home sold and the staircase was no longer needed, they tried selling it at auction. After no one purchased it, it was dumped in the ocean.
Ken, you are a wonderful educational tour guide into these historic homes. I love the background stories you tell about the previous owners and the time period the homes were built. I imagine the lavishness of the interiors were also to inform any visitors how rich the owners were. More stuff means one is really wealthy.
The dining room is awe inspiring, the lighting that is admitted from the conservatory is magical…it must have been wonderful to be in a dinner party in such a room!
I'm sorry, I'm not the correct person to ask if a particular room is overly decorated, as I think they all are. Pretty, though! And just imagine the costs of those antiques presently, if they were still in existence. Thanks, Ken! (That's quite an entrepreneurial butler! Oh my.)
Ken. Thanks another beautiful palace..a lot of skill and craftsmanship went into these old beauties. Its too bad that so soon after they were built that the land they stood on was of more value than they were ...i do believe they were built in horse and buggy days...thanks always a pleasure to hear your calming voice
Oh, I really liked that, a history of the house and a history of the goings on of the residents. Do more of that in the future! If it might make your shows a little longer in the future, I have no problem with that. In fact, if you want to expand your reviews in the future, I'd actually welcome it. Your presentations are really good, leaving me wanting more every single time.
Looks like it’s neighbor to the right (if standing on the street) has survived - very random. After more research, it’s 991 5th Ave & was built in 1901.
Certainly an incredible home for the time, what a gift! The memory of it tarnished by the servant or Butler. It’s too bad that they couldn’t have somehow incorporated that magnificent building into the new building. It was going to be built there. I know it’s more money but I have a soft heart.
@111Phoenix. The secret service may have been used due to the nature of foreign language usage plus the narrative didn't say if any diplomats were involved. Obviously, due to the names and monied families involved, it is possible the secret service was trying to protect them due to the high profile this would have created. In addition, the FBI wasn't officially called the FBI until 1935. When Hoover became director in 1924, he changed a lot about the "Bureau of Investigation".
@@vickiephilpitt7697 I was thinking maybe counterfeiting might have been involved. It's very interesting. I also considered whether the FBI was around yet, and looked it up. I didn't realize they were formed in 1908, but only called the Bureau of Investigation (BOI or BI) at that time. I think this is a very interesting chapter in history.
I liked how the relatively dark dining room had ambient filtered light from the conservatory shine between the columns and drapery allowing it to flow softly into the room.. The billiard room was well designed with the cloistered "gallery" for players to sit up 2-step elevation along the tufted-leather bench seat so as to better see the action on the table below while drinking whiskies and ales and be far away enough not to get an exotic wood/ivory inlaid cue unexpectedly jammed in one's crotchular area by an uncouth guest. A lot of modern "man-caves" leave too little room around the billiards or snooker table to take a full back swing or there are too many French doors around for errant balls to smash after rocketing off the baize). Also, they took the time to only have carpeting around the periphery footpath of the table leaving polished wood floor under the table rather than the more common practice of putting the table on a rug that can be uneven or gets big divots under the pedestal legs that ruin the carpet. (Photos from the Porcellian Club's 1891 Centennial Housewarming show the same advanced and practical carpet design around their 2 (!) billiard tables on their 3rd floor facing Massachusetts Avenue. (also a bonus of the Porcellian was being a mere stone's throw away from Leavitt & Peirce Tobacco Shop (1883) when they ran out of cigars and Cake Box mixture for their pipes).). Of course this gives me yet another reason to shun Bud Light and Anheiser-Busch products!! Adolphe was a good guy but this Reisinger should have been hanged but got off easy just like his Freund, Kaiser Bill!!!
The Busch-Reisinger Museum was housed in Aldolphus Busch Hall, (construction 1912-1917, opening in 1921) which was the only museum in North America dedicated to Germanic and Central European art and architecture. It also has a Flentrop pipe organ on which E. Power Biggs recorded many organ works. It is a pretty building but not too many visitors. It is a block north of Memorial Hall. I wish they would use it for Oktoberfests for the students...
At the end of the video there is a shot of the building at #993 that replaced the mansion. Just to the right it looks as though one of the original mansions was sandwiched between two of the new buildings. Can you tell us about the one that survived?
A really interesting story, and a good example of "the butler did it!" I wonder if anyone thought to salvage any of the wonderful architectural details in the house when it was demolished? Probably not, as the house would have seemed old-fashioned and antiquated by the time it came down in 1929.
The Library is not too bad. The sofa is a bit too close to the fireplace to my taste (my pomade might catch fire if I fall asleep with my head on the near armrest!) . The half-height shelves surmounted by the silk wallpaper and dark carved ceiling are functional and cozy. The bay windows look onto a nice view. Yes, I could while away the hours reading and studying in that library. Cold snowy days would be a bonus. No stupid modern "Flame Broiler" horizontal fireplaces encased in glass without any moulding or mantle. No wonder kids cannot read today! I wish this photo was colorirzed.
In my humble opinion, EVERYTHING was over decorated in that era, as well as other bygone eras. Beautiful, but oh, so fussy. Thanks for another fascinating video. The butler did it? Hah!
Very beautiful. I would struggle to live in a palace, but I do enjoy visiting and looking at them. I suppose it may well have been the butler who was the guilty one. If it had been them, they would have known, I suppose, how to cover their tracks? Then again, maybe blaming the butler was the way they covered themselves! (Could the butler have been Mr Busch in disguse?!!!) Thank you for the video!
“The Butler did it”. The Butler was able to set up presumably expensive wireless equipment in the house under his employer’s nose without their knowledge. I smell a rat here.
Crazy how money buys you out of anything. Hopefully there were some ethics which kept the “guilty” butler alive and exiting that scene with enough money to start a new life, instead of a more sinister scenario.

Examine the current state of the world. 2 Timothy 4:1-5 states "You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. People will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!" Jesus is coming back. Are you ready?
If you think that these fabulous limestone and marble palaces were built in the American horse and buggy days, you are seriously mistaken. Serious gaps in history. Finding ( aka Founding ) isn't to build or to start something.
"he was found not alive . . . " interesting turn of phrase. Never heard "dead" put that way before. Nice episode, keep up the good work.
TH-cam doesn’t always like the word you were thinking
I enjoyed how you narrated the movement from room to room. The Atrium (conservatory) was my favorite.
TH-cam censors the word "dead"

Absolutely stunning house! Magnificently furnished! Good taste all the way!
The butler did it. Liked the conservatory.

That was such a beautiful place! Gorgeous!
I love a good library. While the dining room was over decorated, it was unique and spectacular.

Old money is the best
Fascinating piece of history.
It’s painful when I hear these amazing homes were torn down. It’s just a damn shame.
"Found not alive" . . . I kinda like it put that way.
Lovely home, love the Conservatory. But it’s so sad that yet another architectural gem was demolished for an ugly apartment block.
The butler was the patsy/fall guy I suspect.
Awesome for its time!
Crazy story
Love the whole house
It is so sad how these lavish houses haven't survived 😔
Ok i need more velvet curtains in my life 😂❤❤❤
Ya just don’t find many conservatories nowadays!
~4:35 Very interesting! I wonder why it was the US Secret Service and not the FBI??? I wouldn't expect the SS to be involved.

The dining room may have been so sumptuously embellished as a distraction for the regularly bland cuisine served there.
Oh no, the "welcome to THIS HOUSE" intro is back.
The interiors seem as if they couldn't decide what to do, so chose to have a touch of everything.
So the electric on the third floor was for the two way radio!

In my humble opinion, EVERYTHING was over decorated in that era, as well as other bygone eras. Beautiful, but oh, so fussy. Thanks for another fascinating video. The butler did it? Hah!

Always seems too cluttered, no matter how large. Yes, the critics were right. "The butler did it," ever thus, whether true or not.
