Progrocker70 I would have thought the trim at the top of the walls would have been wider, they were narrow like today’s trim. I wonder if that was a change from the original.
Grew up in a very similar home, back staircase and all! Ours was built in 1879. Now, as an adult, I have a Victorian built in 1860 that needs a ton of work!
Gorgeous home! Love the original woodwork and details. It breaks my heart to see many of these homes turned into dingy apartments with painted woodwork. The original elements make these homes distinctive and gracious.
I’ve just watched a video of my dream home! I’m nearly speechless...every aspect of your home is spectacular! The furnishings, the woodwork.....The newel post!!! Wow! Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous home with us. It’s clear from this video that your home is lovingly cared for and preserved. And I bow to your wife, or whoever cleans it, it’s beyond perfect! By the way, I would love to be the housekeeper and live in the maid’s quarters! 😊
Can you imagine what this house is like at Christmas? GORGEOUS!!! Thank you so much for sharing and preserving history, Don & Mary! Your home is stunning!
@@howardturner2905 Actually, while the average home cost around 5-8 thousand, depending on the number of bedrooms needed, these little gems were only 4-6 thousand more back then to cover staircases and those stained glass windows. The washroom facilities werent indoor until years later. And you can almost always tell a restroom add-on by the floor having been raised 5-6 inches to accomodate the new pipes for draining as well as hot and cold water feeds. Usually, it was a small bedroom or, nice sized closet that was sacrificed to accomodate the new toilet facilities.
What a gorgeous house and home. I love looking at Victorian homes. My family and I have lived for the last 33 years, in now being a 50 year old mobile home, in real bad condition. I'm sure that I'll never live in a house, but it's still my home that raised 7 children in. You know that you are blessed to have that beautiful home.
@Karen Durbin If your mobile home has aluminum wiring (or copper wiring) be sure not to neglect any signs of problems such as flickering lights or non-working outlets. Many mobile home fires are caused by faulty aluminum wiring.
It's fun but also a pain in the arse. It's hard to do restoration on them because nothing is square. Everything has a slight angle or imperfection. Found that out buying a 1920 one room schoolhouse.
Yes, we have to get approval to do anything outside on the house from the historic society. Not a big deal, but the windows with the pulley and sash cords bug me. Ours has the maids and butlers quarters and you can tell no heating ducts or overhead lighting was ran to that side. The woodworking is phenomenal. I don't even know where we would begin to start. You hate to see when people do a disservice to these old houses.
I just love old homes like this! So full of character and cozy! Would love to see what it looks like in the evening with all the lights on. Thank you for the tour!
I am SO impressed - thank you so much for this tour. My blood BOILS lol, when I see people buy one of these old homes and then MODERNIZE it. That doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever. Even love all of the old portraits up on the wall - really feels like a walk back in time. Thanks again!
Incredible!!! We've lost way too many of these architectural jewels. The fretwork makes my head spin. Thanks for not ruining it by upgrading any more than you had to.
Thanks for letting us see your beautiful home. The woodwork is absolutely amazing. I bought an 1845 Victorian in upstate New York but it needs a lot of TLC right now. Thankfully it has the original woodwork and some of the light fixtures and a copper ceiling in the kitchen. I can't wait to get started restoring it
Brings me so much joy to see an ikea-less, shabby chic-less, non bland beautiful piece of victorian age. Back things were intricate and made with displayed skills and hard work :) very nice!
Your home is absolutely impeccable! Beautiful! It’s so refreshing to see an anti-open-concept house, may this beautiful home be preserved for many many more years to come!
You have a very beautiful old historic home. I love very old homes like this. The woodwork is beautiful. Glad it was never painted over, that ruins it. Everything about your home is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Wonderfully preserved home, it is so fortunate to have so many original features intact and in pristine condition like the light fixtures, call bell/annunciator, butlers pantry cabinets and the fabulous fretwork. Thank you for sharing your beautiful historic home and documenting the historic features. I hope you can work with a local historical society or town/city to make sure this home stays forever preserved by receiving a designation as an historically protected building or a granting an exterior and interior preservation easement.
I loved this beautiful house. I would be interested in it’s history, it’s accommodation of modern features, it’s furniture and it’s upkeep/ restoration. Also the kitchen. How about another video Don? Who keeps it so immaculate?
Makes me miss my 1905 Tudor Victorian Home like yours it had 17 rooms . We bought it back to life with its original grandeur ( meaning cleaned woodwork, re- attached lights and toiled endlessly day & night for 9yrs) it was absolutely gorgeous when attached & restored her original hardwares from the basement. We loved it so very much . Seeing the love & devotion you both have kept in your home makes my heart feel warm, cozy and things are alright. Your home is glorious from your front door to the inside. Those foyer entries says alot especially those staircases...at Christmas & Holiday's those homes just beamed ....Hallelujah!! I'm proud of you both I love it❤.
What a charming house! I grew up in a Victorian and every house around us was different. It was fun playing hide and seek at different kids houses. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one with so many details intact. Particularly the spandrels - the decorative woodwork between rooms. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Amazing! I can tell you this is one well-preserved, upper middle class Victorian gem! And the woodwork is perfection. It's even more rare that the call box (also known as an 'enunciator') has been preserved. The narrow back stairs, another Victorian classic touch, designed to save space and make sure the residents saw as little of the service staff as possible, would also allow the housekeepers carrying huge baskets of laundry to steady themselves by their elbows on the way down. Thank you for sharing this!
You have the house my husband and I had always wanted. My childhood home was built in 1880 but it looked nothing like this as it was a row house in Pennsylvania. Thank you so much for such a wish come true tour.
I worked with a female engineer. She (on her own) bought a three story Victorian from the city. They were going to demolish it, or something, so she only had to pay a small fee for the title. Next, by way of mortgage, she paid to have it MOVED! Paid for new wiring and whatnot. It all cost less than a new home. Lastly, she adopted some orphans and lived happily ever after. She told me this around ten years ago and she was getting ready to retire. So, she did all this around forty years ago. She was a very independent lesbian.
Something to delight the eye in every step, around every turn. Thank you for being a fine custodian, and I hope there are many more like you in its future. History needs more men like you.
Oh what a gorgeous old Victorian beauty!!! I too am so glad you didn't modernize her!! I envy you so much! You and your family are so blessed to be able to live in this beautiful piece of history!! Thank you for sharing! Enjoy!!
I love Victorian homes!! I’m impressed with the stained glass windows in the entry doors, Parkay floors and the ornate woodwork fixtures in the doorways
You have a very beautiful home. Warms my heart that people like you guys took a historic home and saved it or preserved it for future generations. So many beautiful homes like this are left abandoned and to rot. Which is so sad and breaks my heart. Thank You for sharing your beautiful home.
Thank you for the video and taking us on a wonderful tour of your beautiful house. It is well preserved and original. I love historical homes and it breaks my heart when these old houses are torn down to make room for parking lots or ugly commercial structures.
It takes me back to the house I was in ( a remodeled 1871/ 1898 Vic Foursquare which still retained a colonnade, two parlors, the narrow entry, a beveled glass large wood door, and pull pin 1/1 narrow windows). Thanks for the tour, especially upstairs.
I’m in a 1905 Victorian which still has its wall corners and some of its light fixtures, and the wood is unpainted. So cool to see you have the same kind of 2-3 toned wood floors with a different design in each room. I also have a front sitting area/ turret room and it looks like the house may have had fretwork in the doorways as well. I got such a good idea of how to place my furniture and what kind of chairs to look for-- thank you! Loved this tour!
Thank you 🙏😊 SO much for sharing your beautiful home ! The staircase is stunning, I love the front door with the stained glass and also the intricate Woodwork at the tops of the door arches. It’s beautifully decorated in the era. Though I will never have a home like this, it’s still very much a pleasure to see others who have been able to do this ! 👍🙌 NZ
Thank you for the video. This home is stunning. I saw the video of where the home was being moved. My goodness! I bet you were walking on nails the entire time. The light fixtures, I fell in love with them. The decor above the doors are gorgeous. Thank you again.
Pride in craftsmanship, intrecasy and beauty is everywhere in your house...The wood has been hand rubbed and cared for magnificently..The Glassworks is beyond amazing. It is the kind of home where you could sit and look at the artistry everywhere for hours on end and appreciate the time taken to put in such beautiful detail. Thank you so much for your kindness to let us all see it
Wow!! what an awesome home. I so appreciate all the historical preservation done to keep this beautiful house alive and well. So many have been torn down because of neglect or greed. Your house was built by someone who took pride in their work. Whenever you see Eastlake hinges and knobs on the doors, you can bet that the rest of the house was built with craftsmanship. I enjoyed every second of your video. Thank you for posting this.

Thank you for allowing me to see your wonderful home. A Victorian is my dream home.
Mine too!
Mine too
Me too!
me three!
Glad you didn't modernize the house.
Yep it's getting harder to find natural wood trim like this with all the paint everything white treatment these houses are getting now.
Progrocker70 I would have thought the trim at the top of the walls would have been wider, they were narrow like today’s trim. I wonder if that was a change from the original.
I love wallpaper, I know most people today it's "dated". I think it's charming.
Me too!
@@jkalb1744 Me too, i hate all this white and gray extra-modern stuff trending today. It has zero character or personality.
Beautiful home, however, I would have loved to see the kitchen.
Kristina Giovanni I’m sure the kitchen was left out of the tour because it’s a 21st Century kitchen
I was wondering the same....where in the heck is the kitchen!?!?!?
There's a bit of a glimpse of it. You can see the stove a tiny bit and can tell that the kitchen would be modern.
It’s most likely modernized.
The Mrs. probably put the kibosh on that. lol
Absolutely beautiful. The woodwork in this house is gorgous. So glad it hasn't been painted. Love the stained glass as well.

You have a beautiful Home! I am a big fanatic of the Victorian ERA. Your tour is very much appreciated.
th-cam.com/video/FnDuPQ3-CJ8/w-d-xo.html
You should make more videos of this house. Detailing each room. I’d love to see the kitchen and inside the pantry. Great video!
Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing.
Yes, there were also doors in the third floor room that he didn’t explain. Maybe they are closets...
Becky Vickers Thank you!
It's obvious that your house is loved and well cared for.
Grew up in a very similar home, back staircase and all! Ours was built in 1879. Now, as an adult, I have a Victorian built in 1860 that needs a ton of work!
Keep at it the end result will be well worth it !!
Gorgeous home! Love the original woodwork and details. It breaks my heart to see many of these homes turned into dingy apartments with painted woodwork. The original elements make these homes distinctive and gracious.
A lot of people made money converting old mansions into multi families and then selling income producing properties

What a treasure trove of architectural delights! Glad I stumbled upon this video. Hope you're well and still enjoying this beautiful home in 2023!

Your home is magnificent! It could be a movie set location...

Such a beautiful home, I wish more people would put the time and energy into keeping an older home!
It's fun but also a pain in the arse. It's hard to do restoration on them because nothing is square. Everything has a slight angle or imperfection. Found that out buying a 1920 one room schoolhouse.

Incredible!!! We've lost way too many of these architectural jewels. The fretwork makes my head spin. Thanks for not ruining it by upgrading any more than you had to.
The fretwork in the doorways!!! Droooool! Very beautifully furnished, light and airy and elegant! Very lovely!
But a lot of work to keep dusted.
Would love to know all the trials, tribulations, scandals, and love affairs that occurred in that Victorian beauty! If the house could only talk...
Beautiful home that has been preserved so well. Thanks for sharing this gem.
What a beautiful home, it has an Europen vibe, with the parquet and woodwork. Thank you for keeping the history of the house!

Such a beautiful and well preserved house. It looks much valuable than 4000+ sqft modern houses. You have a great home for you and your family. 👍
Beautiful home. Can’t imagine how much is spent on electricity. Thank you for sharing your home.
