So many people have asked for a history of the house, I tried to include a little of it here and a full walk around of all of the 1880’s - 1950’s changes to this structure. The only thing we did not focus on were the 1950’s room additions that are falling apart.

I’m thinking the house is older. Like your suspicion on the overhang on the end of the house. Is there any cellar to explore the foundation of the ring wall?
It makes sense to reuse the parents house to build the current house. Being the post war reconstruction era it be more affordable for Mr byrd to use what he needed from the old house to build his house. That house is a odd duck robert. First time I've seen a antebellum, post war and more recent construction all in one.
I grew up in an old house with gas lighting inside (none outside) - we used tapers to light the gas each night. If the outside lighting was gas, they would have needed a ladder to get up to light them at nightfall. We had to pull the gas cord inside the shade, apply the lit taper or match and away she went. As children we learnt to be careful with gas.
There were two major reasons @16:50 for having a detached kitchen back in the days: (1) to keep the heat of the cook stove out of the main house during the summer months, and (2) to help prevent the main house from catching fire if the kitchen caught on fire. My grandparents had a "summer kitchen" about 50 feet behind their house, it was nicely plastered inside. It was no longer used as a kitchen by the 1960s when my grandfather made it his "man cave" and would hang out there during my grandmother's card clubs twice a week. He would retreat to his "little house" to avoid the "old hens" as he called the card-playing old women.
I'm still having trouble picturing what the whole place looks like. When you were at the back of the house, at the formerly detached kitchen, I was waiting for you to walk a little bit to the left and show the rest of the back of the house, to show what it all looks like. It would be great to show a sketch of what it would look like if you were in the air, looking straight down on it, labelling each section. But I did enjoy this. Thanks.
I am with them .I need drawings from each period of the house and changes made ..and drone shots would be nice to see the complete layout of the house..😊
A very interesting tour. Well done to the camera person, who panned to the right spots you were talking about. My house here in GB was first recorded in 1640, might be older, and I have some very interesting architectural oddities, which are one reason I rent it.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. This is definitely one to keep aside & use when you open it for tourists, as when it's completed you could have it to educate people on what it was as to the completed house is. A terrific educational video. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🐨🦘👍🏼😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Robert, this is a fascinating episode.It made a nice change from you working on your favourite ever vine!! I'm sure others are now waiting expectantly for the interior tour! It's so interesting to see all the changes happening through the years. Stuck here working in the heat of Saudi Arabia, I'm thoroughly enjoying this adventure of yours on the Byrd Farm. Hang in there. Colin
I grew up in the late 40s and 50s. My father often tore down old barns, and some old buildings. We never wasted nails We would pull the nail and straight them out on a railroad iron. Stored in a coffee can. Most likely the mix of nails were what was handy to the carpenters. Going to the store means time wasted. That old house has very expensive siding for that time period. Most poor people used the cheapest wood they could find. Many old shotgun houses were made out of sweet or black gum. That why you never see many old house still standing. The nail are what are commonly called cut nails, and youare correct that the round nail were made from spools of heavy gauge wire. You know why nail are sized penny? Nail were priced accounting to how much they cost per 100. A 10 penny nail 3 inches long cost 10 penny's per 100.
The only way to preserve that home is Fix the roof gutters and down pipes, Patch up timber siding sand paint with primer and Top Coat. Thats what I have been doing as I watch your channel. I have the outside painted already. lol Man when you get new Porches up, that Home will be a Mansion.
I agree. I grew up in NY state pre colonial to now minimalist. Secure roof, floors, windows and doors. Spend more money in securing a solid home and then do handyman putter around farm. You are young and have many helpful cousins and friends. The home is only a home.....
Isn't it interesting that the 1950's addition is falling apart while the older part of the house is still in pretty good condition. Thanks for the tour. Stay safe and God bless
Old houses often had two kitchens! One was called the summer kitchen, which was used for all the preserving and canning and meat cutting etc. at harvest times!
My great uncle's house had a summer kitchen. Off the porch next to the kitchen....they moved the wood burning stove out there to help keep the main house cooler....always had an outhouse. When they put in plumbing. No toilet. Us city kids couldn't get use to that!!!! Lol
thank you for this video Robert, we get quite a visual picture of what it was like back in the day as you were explaining the changes, I'm looking forward to the roof video's.
Really enjoyed this video. Hope you will be able to find all the most accurate history of the old bird house and maybe find a picture of the original house. That would be awesome.. thanks for sharing and for all the hard work you are doing to preserve a piece of history..
I wonder if some of Robert’s researchers could find photos of the brother’s house? They are exceptional at the family history research of old plantation graves and old cemeteries, I’ll bet they can find pictures and info on the other Byrd house….
Robert, you have become quite the historian. That’s impressive. We are so happy that you are working so hard to being it back to it’s origins. Thank you. Donna/Indiana
This house is built alot like my grandparents house. It was built in the 1880's it was built with square nails. The wood siding and windows. Even the closet that goes up in the addict space. It's still standing no one has lived in it for over 20 years. It is starting to deteriorate. It is in western NC foothills.
This is very interesting when broken down as much as you were able to. I'm sure as things progress and you dig through more of the interior and exterior more clues will be found.
Thank you for sharing the history of a beautiful old farm home. You can tell how much you love that property and how you are ready to breathe some new life into it. I'm excited to share your journey....hugs
I love you know the history of the Byrd farm ❣️ makes restoration much more meaningful ❣️sure would be wonderful if you could possibly find any pictures ❣️
You've talked about most of these things as you've been working but it's great to have it in a tour!👍 Don't remember if I mentioned it before but way back kitchens were built away from the main house so they wouldn't hear up the house and also for fire safety. I'm guessing you may find where a wood stove was vented. 🙂 Thanks so much for the tour! 💜
Love this video Robert. After you cleared the area around the house, I think she looks beautiful! She harbors many secrets after all the years she's been stand there. I'd say the old girl is holding her own. She is ready for new changes once again! Would love to see the inside especially the bedrooms. Thanks for this treat today! God bless!🙏❤
Bead board was used in kitchens and bathrooms and painted. Picture rail is a molding that is a bit lower than the ceiling. You hang your pictures from it and don't have to pound nails into the plaster walls
I grew up on a farm in Illinois. My grandmother's family built twin homes less than a quarter mile apart. They were grand homes. They were built with oak trim inside in every room. The original home site was across the road from where my Grandmother's grandfather built his home. The farm had a cook house as they didn't cook in the main house because of fire hazard. There was an ice house, a smoke house, barn, tool shed, an "out house" and others I don't remember now. Sadly the main house was destroyed by a tornado three years ago. Great memories. Your tour brought back memories they were great. Thank you.
@4:08, that appears to be the outline of an old fireplace. I have seen beadboard on the outsides of houses this age, and even on a barn. I worked in a barn that had beadboard and fish scale shingles in alternating bands. The house I grew up in, which was built in 1900, had beadboard in an alleyway between us and our neighbors. Under that window, that might have had a knee wall. That wasn't terribly uncommon in houses in the south, although maybe not in a house that simple. It gave you more ventilation, and an extra door for crowd flow if you were having a party or funeral or wedding. You opened the knee wall and pushed the lower sash up, and you could walk through the opening. It looks like it had a sill at the bottom. The kitchen could have been the original house, and the front could have been added on. Houses were also moved back then, on rollers and pulled by mules or horses or oxen. Cool to get a better idea of how it fits together. You'll figure out more and more of how it fit together as you dig deeper into it.
It would be easy to support your idea of an old fireplace because the footings would (most likely) still be under the surface of the ground yet. Just have to dig around or poke a steel rod into the ground and see if a person hits something solid.
Did Byrd's competitor close his business and move to California? If so then he may have reduced price on inventory to avoid transporting it. Maybe Byrdy got a below cost deal on the metal roofing. re the three windows with center one lower than outers: the center window appears centered on the room and likely was the original.
Robert you did a great job explaining the history and changes to the Old Byrd Farm. I was so excited to get a glimpse into the house. It is very satisfying to see this historic home being saved.
I'm so excited about seeing some of the inside of the farm! I'm enjoying watching the farm come back to life after a long sleep. Are you going to replace those windows to fit the era of the house?
Wow thanks Robert for an interesting insight into the outside and inside of the Byrd house 🏡👍. When you stand in front of the home 🏡, it looks like you belong there. Heads up camera 📷 man. Be safe, be happy 😊👍🏡💕🏡👍
This was such an awesome video on the Byrd house, there is so much history to this place, so cool that it belongs to you now and you are giving it back the life that it deserves. We were glued to this video. We can't wait to see the rest of the inside of the house. Every time you remove the old trees and your favorite wisteria you discover more mysteries of the Byrd farm. thanks again for the great video
Hope I enjoyed this video wow this was the greatest the best video I think I've ever watched that you made so far so informational it is great I feel like I know almost everything about the house now feels like it's mine LOL but this was a super video great job Robert oh and Cody was working the camera he needs to stop walking around so much and shuffling his feet but other than that he did a great job keep them coming thank you sir 😁
Wow great job Robert & Hey Walter or was that Cody filming? I got a lil anxious for a min when u were discussing the porches where you can see the brick foundations bc I saw eyes and a critter behind you just under the house. I was like oh Lord what is that behind you moving .. then I was like whew it's just Bleu .. lol. Anyway it's amazing you can remember all that. I can also hear the love & respect you have for the Old Byrd Farm!! I so appreciate & highly respect you for that. Agree on disliking the newest window additions. Obviously the then residents who added those were prob only doing what they thought best & utilizing what they could to make it happen. They house prob wasn't considered "historic" at that point. Maybe one day you'll get a chance & have funds to replace those newer windows with more "period" windows. Oh I wanted to tell you too .. when I first saw ur post .. I didn't even recognize the Old Byrd Farm bc it was so cleared out. Had to look at ur ur Utube title. WONDERFUL POST .. y'all enjoy the wknd & b safe .. 🙂
Sounds like @10:20 when Mr. Byrd married wife #2 that his "old" house wasn't good enough for her and he had to enlarge it, dress it up, make improvements for wife #2. The date between the death of wife #1 and marriage date of wife #2 would possibly help date these modifications to the structure. I can just see wife #2 standing out front of the house, pointing here and there, giving Mr. Byrd a list of things to do before she'd marry him and move into "another woman's house" (as is/was often the case in 2nd marriages).
Idk why your videos are relaxing but they are..i enjoy your Old Byrd farm videos & looking forward to each step you take to breath new life into that old house
Beautifully detailed walk around. I really do now appreciate the house more than I did before. What a wonderful project continues at The Old Bird House. Thanks Robert.

Interesting how the newer additions to the house are in sad shape and the original parts seem solid.
Do you have any idea where Mr Byrd was buried?
Wonderful update Robert. Thank u so much for taking the time plus video man to showing us♥️
@@DramaMustRemainOnTheStage I wonder too and I think, we did see it in Sidestep Adventures a year and a bit ago
I’m thinking the house is older. Like your suspicion on the overhang on the end of the house. Is there any cellar to explore the foundation of the ring wall?
Your house is talking to you, slowly letting you know her story. Thank you for sharing your story with us.

Were the Byrds told they could control weevils with wisteria? Well presented tour Cheers Robert 🍻

Yes, Robert, please create a bird's eye view sketch. I'm struggling to get it all straight in my mind.
I am with them .I need drawings from each period of the house and changes made ..and drone shots would be nice to see the complete layout of the house..😊
This is exactly what I thought of. Maybe a drone picture of it from above? Or drone footage from the air, with narration. Please!
Enjoyed the history of the Byrd farm.
A very interesting tour. Well done to the camera person, who panned to the right spots you were talking about.
My house here in GB was first recorded in 1640, might be older, and I have some very interesting architectural oddities, which are one reason I rent it.
Once you are able to get the roof done, looks like the house is solid enough to get the interior in shape.
I love the look of jalousie style windows on midcentury modern but on your old place it's like a poke in the eye. I'm enjoying your adventure.
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. This is definitely one to keep aside & use when you open it for tourists, as when it's completed you could have it to educate people on what it was as to the completed house is. A terrific educational video. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🐨🦘👍🏼😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Excellent video, thank you for telling us a bit of history on this house. It’s so exciting watching you bring the old girl new life.
Robert..there is some Cobalt Blue that briefly showed up as you panned below the porch at 18:17. Could be a treasure. Wonder what it is.

Interesting house. Hopefully it will become a home again. I really enjoy your channel.
As a interior designer I appreciate what you are doing. Thank you for sharing this with us. Very cool and can’t wait to see what you do to it.
I love your detail history of construction of the house. I’m fascinated by the backstory of buildings and of people. Thank you for your videos.
THUMBS up to this video!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍 the flag looks good and thanks for the commentary information!!!!
Bead board was used in kitchens and bathrooms and painted. Picture rail is a molding that is a bit lower than the ceiling. You hang your pictures from it and don't have to pound nails into the plaster walls
That's beadboard filling in under the porch roof and under the eaves

Awesome video. Thank you Robert Baloo and crunchy camera man lol
Idk why your videos are relaxing but they are..i enjoy your Old Byrd farm videos & looking forward to each step you take to breath new life into that old house
That was really fascinating to hear, thanks for the History Robert
Very interesting.
This is a great tour, I love all the details, descriptions, and ideas that you share.
Those guineas constant squawking would drive me crazy!!!
Love watching these videos
Robert always look forward to your vlog on the Farm always 👍👍👍👍👍👍 every time
Awesome. Been awaiting this tour. Thank you
great tour and History Rob, can't wait to see more of the interior
I enjoyed the tour. Thank you.
Great tour, so interesting!
I enjoyed the tour and it's history. Thank you.
Very interesting! You have a lot of work ahead of you, wow. This is awesome.
Thank you so much for sharing your history of the house and please be safe out there and God bless you and your family and friends
Great history lesson! I can't wait to see what you decide to do to it!!
Very interesting I love your videos Can’t wait to see how you improve the house
Thanks for the tour. I like old building.
Thanks, Robert! That was very interesting.
Love this video thanks so much. Always looking forward to what comes next. Take care. Good to see balou having fun
Very much enjoyed the tour, the house details in the door frames are lovely.
I quoite enjoyed this tour,very interesting and makes sence
Loved the walk round and inside showing us a lot more Loved the video Robert thankyou
Robert, you can go to the county clerk's office, and look up all of the owners of your property.
Tax records too. Check when taxes went up substantially, that usually means additions/upgrades. So I've been told.
Very interesting episode. I am hooked!
Robert, I'm thinking you have a moron house. They kept putting more on, and more on, and more on. (Wink) lol
Good one 👍
Beautifully detailed walk around. I really do now appreciate the house more than I did before. What a wonderful project continues at The Old Bird House. Thanks Robert.
Interesting! This will be a great video to refer back to when a question arises about the house. Thank you.
I loved this video and all the history. Thank you so much!
you have a nice project going on there that is some great Old History thanks again and Keep up the great work.
