The house is magnificent! What a beauty! Love the 360° column porch. But very disappointed with the insignificant staircase. A grand mansion like this needs a grand staircase.
I prefer walls painted with calming colors. That allows your art to make a statement. I don't like the jewel colors from the that age. It makes the rooms dark. I prefer soft contemporary. Just because it is a very old traditional home doesn't mean that a more contemporary interior won't work. The right contemporary furniture looks good in any home. Also you can insert some fine traditional furniture in a few places.
We took our first trip to Natchez this past week. So wish we had been able to meet you and Kevin. I’m in love with that city. I honestly didn’t know where to look next. Dunleith is a beautiful property and we loved the pub and castle restaurant. Right there on the property ! Wish y’all had shot this while we were there! Maybe we need another trip.
That's a fascinating story, thank you. I would like to know how Mr. Lynch acquired the means to buy properties?, Having been a slave? I mean no offense, I am simply fascinated by these stories, and wish I could figure out how to improve my own place in life, 😉. God bless 🙏
It would be nice if you could show a drawing of the floor plan of the homes you show. Sometimes I get confused on the layout as I'm watching the videos. Sometimes I'm like wait...where is this room located in the house??? Just a suggestion.
Those of us on the West Coast (Oregon) do not have such grand things, heck we do not even have basements.. I love I get to experience such grand places via you, Thank you!
Beautiful mansion. I was more impressed with the furnishings in the photo then how it is now. More ght show better if you pull the furniture away from wall. Thanks for showing .....I truly enjoyed it!!!!!
Those chickens lived "high on the hog!" Interesting about "cutting the rug." I did not know this but have said it often when complimenting them on how well they could dance. Thank you for this tour. Excellent video. That opening...wow!
Thank you so much for this fascinating video! I have only seen a few photographs of this mansion, but they were enough to intrigue me. I love the wraparound colonnade and double balconies! The double parlor/ballroom and dining room are the most beautiful rooms I have ever seen, no matter how they are decorated! Thank you for showing the outbuildings too, as they are interesting in themselves. Just an outstanding video of this breathtaking property!
They really knew how to do millwork back then. It's kind of a shame so much of it is covered with yards and yards of fussy drapery. I agree, too, about all the boring but "safe" beige paint, though the Zuber wallpaper is brilliant.
In Louisiana, many large homes were originally built with the stairs to the side of the center hall. As the family grew, new stairs were built in the center hall, and the original space was converted into new rooms on each floor. At least that's the story they tell at Oak Alley. Ashland-Belle Helene had a wonderful curving staircase that went up all the way to the attic, before Shell Oil bought it and restored it into their private conference center, and banned public tours. I hope they restored that staircase!
A very, very grand home, and definitely not Victorian. I love how you point out the architectural features as they changed over the years of the 19th (and early 10th Centuries). Those fantastic scenic wall papers were popular for dining rooms, and they elevate a room like nothing else. I can imagine the conversations about the exotic birds and animals. Very much in keeping with Audubon paintings. I was a confused about when the extant wallpaper was installed when I saw it in that old photo. Was put up after WWII for the first time, or did it replace original scenic wallpaper of the same pattern from the 1850s? I appreciate knowing the story of the gentleman who went from fan rope puller to land owner and military hero. A handsome fellow; the intelligence just radiates from his eyes.
I’m in awe of the skills of the enslaved people who built and decorated this house! The story of the former dining room slave buying this and many other houses and properties of the former owners after the Civil War made my day! The French Le Zone wallpaper in the dining room was exquisite. I like the idea of the staircase being situated to the side of the entrance hall. Wide hallways and along with big porches with rocking chairs are quintessentially Southern architectural features. I wish that we had grand old houses like this that you find in the eastern half of our country. I live in the West and we don’t usually have lovely old houses like this. There tends to be an attitude out here that old=unnecessary, so many lovely older homes are torn down and replaced with parking lots, strip malls and cheap apartment buildings. It’s so unfortunate.😢
He actually didn't buy this property... Maybe listen to that part again. I do question how its admirable that he bought all these properties and made his money off the backs of tenet workers and endentured servants .... Which in essence was very much a type of enslavement. As the system made it impossible for these workers to ever get out of debt or earn a decent living. Just slavery by a different name😢
I would love to see a video of you and Kevin explaining old house terms. What is the difference between a veranda and a promenade? Tower or turret? Bay, box bay or clipped corner bay? Today's home is truly beautiful and matches our fantasies of what a house like "Twelve Oaks" in Gone With the Wind may have looked like. Thank you for taking the time to show us.
The house itself is magnificent and I particularly love the fireplaces. The furniture and accessories are splendid and well appointed. However, the overall style of decoration of that time is a little sparse, stiff and formal for my tastes. I love the whimsy, charm and clutter of a little later time period.
I absolutely love these old plantation houses They are beautiful and stunning indeed and not just houses but hopefully you guys can fix many different things from the old days a little TLC and it would look so gorgeous.....👍🏻💪🏻🤍
Laine showed us how the chickens lived in such luxury but what I wish Laine would tell us is how "the servants" lived I bet it didn't have the same grandeur.
Actually Laine did show you where they lived. This is a city estate, so the enslaved workers who were here were body servants or household staff, and lived in the main house. The ell off the back was quarters for the enslaved who would have handled any livestock or livery needs, but it was attached to the main house, and was what had been the main house built in the 18th century. Any other questions Penny?
I've seen your videos of such beautiful homes in Natchez, MS and this is another one that is for lesser words ... WOW! There are videos showing homes in NYC of the wealthy that are no longer there, and this home seems like it would be one of those homes. I've never been to Natchez, MS but with all this history, I might have to schedule a trip to see what it was all about way back when. It's not like there weren't other cities on the river, so just what made this city, Natchez, MS be the hub for so many beautiful elaborate homes? I've got my history to start looking up on Natchez! Thanks for another AMAZING Video!!!
Absolutely gorgeous just enough decadence not too much but what is shown is the absolute best of the best and it’s just stunning , and justifiably marvelous 🥰🥰🥰
Just another fabulous box to check on my wonderful Restoring Hope weekend the next time I visit beautiful Natchez. Kevin, the master videographer and Laine the worlds best tour guide…💚💜
Dislike the over the top curtains. I prefer the cleaner line curtains in the photo. That being said….its not my home and your homeowner is happy with them.
Wel. Since it’s been that way since the home was built AND since Greek Revival period homes almost exclusively used painted woodwork finishes, I’d say not. Perhaps we can suggest our video in painted woodwork for you, so you’ll have a better understanding of when painted woodwork is and is not appropriate. th-cam.com/video/AzZfV_J3fyE/w-d-xo.html
I loved this tour!! My favorite features are the wrap around porch; the position of the staircase and of course the colonnade! Thank You for this tour!!!
Thank you for posting this informative and educational video. I enjoyed watching the video. The home in the video is beautiful and breathtaking...thank you for sharing!
We’ll let Camille Saint-Saëns you don’t care for his famous work from 1875. I’m sure were he alive he’d be as concerned with you musical tastes as are we.
Oh my, I'm going to have to get down to Natchez. These videos just keep getting better and better. Thank you for sharing the story of the wall paper. It is so sad that so much beautiful art was lost in the war. The story reminded me of The Monuments Men and how they rescued art and antiquities.
So, obviously never get to see the kitchen or what that small door next to the stair case on the bottom floor, that was opened a crack enough you can see there's a light on in whatever space is behind it. Annoying.
One of my very favorites in Natchez, Mississippi. So blessed that Mississippi is my home state. We have so many wonderful treasures in Mississippi. Natchez being on the top of the list. ❤❤❤ Thanks Laine and Kevin keep up all the hard work.
Thank you for a very nice tour. In architectural terms, what do you call the "swoops" on the sides of the dormers and do they serve some function beyond ornament?
Gorgeous house! It needed some potted plants in brass planters, IMO, but the paintings and wallpaper were awesome. The house servant rising out of poverty to own multiple homes and plantations is an amazing bit of history-that was one smart man.
Yes, I noticed the burning intelligence in his eyes in the portrait, even before she told that story! I want to find some more history on him. Should be fascinating.
@@deb7518 Pulling oneself out of poverty is extremely difficult, even without the added stress of dealing with the added hostility of racism. He obviously knew when to hold his cards, exercise patience, and when to leap forward and take risks. There’s genius in that.
Thank you!!!! I've been looking for the word' punkah" fan for years. When trying to describe these fans people loomed at ne dumbfounded. Now I have a word for it!!
@@OurRestorationNation 🙏🏽 But, oddly enough, there is no mention of JR Lynch in the history section of the Dunleith Historical Inn website.

*Beautiful - still softly *vibrant - place. Love the light quality and glow within.

There must be air conditioning with those dark and heavy draperies. The wallpaper is lovely, but the draperies.. John Lynch is very handsome and must have been very brilliant, and an entrepreneur. Are they Audubon bird illustrations? A house for hot a climate

The house is magnificent! What a beauty! Love the 360° column porch. But very disappointed with the insignificant staircase. A grand mansion like this needs a grand staircase.
“Taupe walls” Laine throwing some soft shade! LOL it’s almost as bad as millennial gray. Beautiful regardless!
What colors should be used?
Interior paint colors of the 19th century were bright- pinks, blues, yellows. They also used LOTS of wallpaper.
I prefer walls painted with calming colors. That allows your art to make a statement. I don't like the jewel colors from the that age. It makes the rooms dark. I prefer soft contemporary.

how did "enslaved" people have all this money to buy up properties? if they were "free labor" then they werent getting paid, so how?
There are lots of amazing and fascinating books about JR Lynch and many others available on Amazon
Those of us on the West Coast (Oregon) do not have such grand things, heck we do not even have basements.. I love I get to experience such grand places via you, Thank you!
It's sad so much of Southern culture has been destroyed. Only fools tear down their past..
Amazing other countries preserve their history.
Interesting about the staircase. The staircase in the prop "Tara" home was on the side as well. I wonder . . .
Toured Dunleith many times. Always see something I did not notice before! Beautiful!
Beautiful mansion. I was more impressed with the furnishings in the photo then how it is now. More ght show better if you pull the furniture away from wall. Thanks for showing .....I truly enjoyed it!!!!!

Why do you need to see the commercial kitchen?
The little room under the stair is a powder room for guests to use.
Is there a biography of this gentleman. He would be a Jeremiah Hamilton of the south. Nice to read of folk of my extraction who did things.
There is!

The dining room is amazing! I thought the wallpaper was a handpainted mural.
There must be air conditioning with those dark and heavy draperies.
The wallpaper is lovely, but the draperies..
John Lynch is very handsome and must have been very brilliant, and an entrepreneur.
Are they Audubon bird illustrations?
A house for hot a climate
As long as we are getting technical. "Plantations are farms specializing in cash crops, mainly planting a single crop on a large estate." It has nothing to do with the type of labor used.
If we are getting technical and quoting definitions, let’s make sure we quote the WHOLE definition.
“plantation
noun
plan·ta·tion plan-ˈtā-shən
Synonyms of plantation
1
: a usually large group of plants and especially trees under cultivation
2
: a settlement in a new country or region
Plymouth Plantation
3
a
: a place that is planted or under cultivation
b
: an agricultural estate usually worked by resident labor”
By either definition, this is not a plantation.
OR
“plantation
[ plan-tey-shuhn ]SHOW IPA
See synonyms for plantation on Thesaurus.com
noun
a large farm or estate in a tropical or semitropical zone, for the cultivation of cotton, tobacco, coffee, sugarcane, etc., typically by enslaved, unpaid, or low-wage resident laborers.”
And if you read on down in the Wikipedia article you referenced, you’ll see even that unreliable source links them to slave labor.
Gorgeous!
One of my favorites in Natchez!
Magnificent!
A shoo-fly fan!
But how did John Lynch get the money to begin with. Also, he was a Black man who ruled over other Black tenant farmers.
This looks like the plantation home by Justin in "The North and South" miniTV series on Civil War.
I mso glad this video came on my phone because I haven’t see anything
