    I just don’t get why in this modern age we don’t use pocket doors like people seemed to use before. It’s so much more convenient. This house is absolutely beautiful.

      Having worked at a place with pocket doors I can tell you this. When they fail. They fail miserably and are much harder to repair than a swing out door.

      They often aren’t in working order. I have some; one slides well, one doesn’t. For that reason, I cannot use them (yet). The last house I was in had them too. It was c 1898. The pocket doors worked but banged a bit upon opening, squeezed, and barely fit. I think they were made a bit short. For that reason, they weren’t super convenient. I had stripped them partially and had to sell the house. Wonder if they remained, but I hope so!

    I am SO GLAD you took the time to speak about why all the woodwork on the second floor is painted. That is the number one thing that irks me about older homes with beautiful woodwork. Every single time a home goes on the market, somebody decides it will look cleaner and brighter and bigger for prospective buyers if they slap white paint everywhere. I live in an area that has so many gorgeous old homes, but finding one with original, unpainted woodwork is nearly impossible. SO...after seeing all that SPECTACULAR woodwork on the first floor, I would have been grinding my teeth if you hadn't taken the time to explain why the second floor is painted. (I learned something, too.) Thank you. This home has truly wonderful original details. What a gem! Extraordinary.

It was in wonderful shape despite it’s age, and had a third floor ballroom,and the original cistern in the basement. It still had the original carriage house, and hitching post in the front of the house. I have never forgot about it, but I’m too old now to take care of it. At the time, it was at $84,000.

    I love how you casually educate the viewers with little bits of architectural information, describing certain features and giving names and explanations of those features. Good job! Beautiful home. I grew up in an Queen Anne Victorian in Mississippi. We called the fretwork "gingerbread".

    I’m used to thinking of Queen Anne houses as elegant but severely plain and very regular, whereas American Queen Anne is sumptuous and amazingly exuberant.
    The only Norman Shaw building I’d previously seen was the famous New Scotland Yard building on the Victoria Embankment in London, which have appeared in so many 20th century detective films.

    Oh gosh what a treasure! And thank you for finally explaining Queen Anne! I moved to MI from UK in 1980 and you are the first person who has clearly explained the meaning!! It all makes sense NOW! That really is a remarkably well-preserved home but still eminently comfortable and livable from what you were showing - the kitchen really was so impressive and the dining nook as desirable now as it ever was - so amazing it didn't have its heart ripped out in the dreaded 60's or 70's! Thank you for showing us around, hope it finds a sensitive, loving new caretaker soon. Looks like a bargain to me! (Where I doubt you could buy a decent dog kennel in Sydney for that $$!!)

    I heard that when there's a newel post statue on the staircase in the main entry (as in this house) it indicated the house was paid off (aka no mortgage). So if you had that and a visitor came, they'd know that fact. Have you heard that before? Wonder if that's true..... LOVELY house BTW.... It would be a treasure to own.

    Amazing Victorian home! Glad you pointed out the painted trim on the second floor. A lot of people don’t know they did paint the trim in those days. I love the 1910 kitchen and bathrooms. I live in a Victorian home built in 1910. It’s a beautiful home with pocket doors, large foyer, ect.., but unfortunately the original 1910 kitchen was completely remodeled in the 60’s, and the only original 1910 bathroom part left is the floor tile. My home is in a historic district and quite a few homes in my neighborhood still have the old gasolier fixtures. Mine fortunately still has the original 1910 light fixtures in the foyer, living room, upper hallway and a few of the bedrooms. I would not change anything about the 1910 kitchen in that house. Nothing wrong with those countertops and cabinets. The current owners clearly put a large sum of money into the preservation of that home.
