Not gonna lie, my jaw nearly hit the floor when you said it had been demolished..! Black mold can be effectively eliminated by a certified cleaning company and, well, I could go on, but it's just a sad shame it fell into unappreciative hands who did not whole-heartedly see the value in preserving such a stunning mansion with its storied history. I realize this sat on Florida land, but as a Michigan resident, I can't help but feel sad at its destruction. That said, Ken, Thank-you so much for sharing what you possibly could with historic photos. All your effort makes this video even more special. Thanks!
Actually, the mold would eventually come back, especially due to the humidity and moisture that i know runs rampant in that house due to age and unseen structural failures…lets not even get on the asbestos which is pretty much in every building material used to construct the house…lol..they were right to demolish it….
@@marquiesriley6479 I live here in Florida the mold is HUGE issue inside and outside. It's like it's just waiting for any opportunity to get inside . You can store something inside garage here like a bicycle project thinking it's good being inside be able to get back to finish later. Then two years pass and project rusted out badly. Just never checked on it closely enough to see the rust creeping. Sad day house had to come down. Must have been really bad.
The 1920's not my period! but such style, such classy times, such elegance that time now has mostly forgotten. The building needed preservation for certain. Such wonders should not have been lost !! One of the best I have ever seen its just Criminal that it was DEMOLISHED!!!!!
Years and years and years ago I saw a movie with Matthew Broderick in it which was mostly fiction I believe but was a comedy based on the early days of kelloog and health sanitariums. As someone who grew up without cold cereals being considered a meal it is odd how this cheap but theoretically nutritious food has now dominated the planet.

Thank you Ken for bringing to your viewers the story of this beautiful mansion that was once a home to someone. I’m just sorry there isn’t always the money needed for upkeep and maintenance if that’s the case. All that beauty just torn down and demolished real quick. It’s a shame.
@@dorothysmith3205 for me it’s beauty I appreciate because I love old and/or historic homes and buildings so it’s not just an old house. This is why I watch This House videos. I believe I speak for many who share the same thought. But you know, to each his own.
There's a huge old Kellogg Estate outside of Buffalo along the lake shore with similar design. Technically Derby, N.Y. As far as I know it still stands, though a lot of the mansions along the shoreline there recently are being purchased for the land and the old homes demolished. It's right up the road from FLW's Graycliff recently restored and open for tours.
The home's remodeling"updates" were exceptionally ill-fitting and tacky. The manequin "soaking" in the tub and the 70s discotheque were the final indignities foisted upon a house that was always destined for the wrecking ball. Sad!
I love these videos! If you’re interested. I think it would be worth it though to make a separate video that explains in some more detail why some of these homes get demolished. Most people just can’t comprehend the maintenance and upkeep of these homes. Even restored, these old homes are nice to look at just not necessarily nice to live in.
This home was so beautiful. The disco room was so unique. I absolutely love the kitchen and the amazing stain glass windows. So sad to know that this house doesn't exist anymore . Modern day designs aren't as elegant. The Kellog home had a bright and airy feel to it.
We know how to get rid of asbestos and mold properly and you cant tell me that place could not have been restored / renovated. It's about profit. Watch...new place will be twice the size and sold for triple the investment. Really sad
Their asbestos comment cracks me up. It's in half of the buildings in the US, usually tucked away in walls so it's not hurting anyone. And there are entire companies devoted to removing it safely. But instead they demolished the building and probably released some of it into the environment in the process.
Film tip: The Road to Wellville. About Dr. Kellogg and the strange methods in this sanatorium. And the story of the stolen Cornflake formula. Very funny. With Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Harfey Kellogg, Bridget Fonda, Matthew Broderick, John Cusack, Dana Carvey, Lary Flynn Boyle, Colm Meany...
And history and modern science has definitively proven what sugar does to the body and immune system as well as the benefits of a vegetarian diet and a lifestyle that abstains from alcohol, tobacco, tea and coffee - things that Adventists have known for over a century and products that - at that time - were considered healthy and often prescribed solutions for all types of ailments. It's not that they believe that enjoying your food is a sin, it's more the fact that Adventists know that God wants you to be healthy because He knows that when you are healthy you'll live happier for longer. If you don't believe me google the phrase "blue zones" and see for yourself. Misinformation about Adventists aside, it's a great video Ken.
Okay all those who didn't care for the decor, imho, this house was beautiful, even with later updates. The color photos really highlighted the features and decorative painting. Loved the vaulted ceilings and the stairway. The master bedroom, bathroom and boudoir were gorgeous too. And that kitchen was amazing, loved the stained glass windows over the sinks. Thanks so much for the video!
William Kellogg left a foundation that has done good. According to his biography, he could be summed up by a quote from "Auntie Mame: That's a B. It's the start of a seven letter word that means your late father." Enjoyable video.
That's criminal that this was demolished! Alas, such is the fate of all too many architectural and historic masterpieces. Thanks for another great home tour, Ken! I love your videos - and, I might add, that they don't drag on forever and ever like so many do.
Your incorrect when you stated the food was bland because enjoyment of food was viewed as sinful. It was because of the desire to have whole, wholesome food with little additives. When the tastebuds are changed, whole food is healthy and delicious with no grease, salt or sugar. That was the goal.
Amazing in this day and age that a house so historical and beautiful could be allowed to be demolished! Who got paid off? The usual bs that its all about money! So pathetic and sad! I was going to comment how I would love to visit it, and it looked like 20's mansion that had been bought and added too by Liberace!
I love the brick in the kitchen. That's probably my favorite. There's a lot of beautiful things about this mansion. It's ashame it wasn't saved. Thank you for sharing this video. These videos always put me in a good mood.
I love the entry hall. It saddens me when I see a beautiful home like this has been demolished. My grandfather was president of the carpenter's union back in the early 1900s and he built some beautiful buildings. There is a church in Salem, Massachusetts that shows how beautiful his work was. It's an orthodox church and it's still standing. There are other buildings but I think that this church is the most beautiful. Everything back then was handcrafted. My father built beautiful homes too.
I understand how an historic property designation can put an onerous burden on owners and make sale difficult. And sometimes houses are just old and rehabbing them is too expensive or not worth the effort. Still, it was a lovely house and too bad it was demolished. I wasn't fond of the naked female mannikin in the bathtub. I'm not prudish, but as a female, I didn't see the point. It was unnecessary and detracted from my enjoyment of the room.
What a seriously sad ending and pathetic fight from the historical society. They need stronger local influence and laws over shortsighted owners of remarkable architecture, for when they decide to erase a piece of history like this, they forever deprive future generations of their history and heritage, and they place them selves on an ever growing list of people who will forever remain unpopular, because of what they have done.
🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪😭😭😭😭😭😭 Why did they not save the home ???????? HORRIBLE !!!!! WISH I NEVER WATCHED THIS. NOW I'M JUST ANGRY. I THOUGHT FOR SURE THE CITY WOULD WIN 😪
I am disappointed you didn’t cover the Kellogg mansion still standing at cal-poly Pomona or the Arabian horse breeding program Mr. Kellogg started and which continues there to this day to meet the requirements of his estate being donated to create the campus. The stables were shown in some of the pictures.
I wanted to add the same comment but feared no one knew there was a Kellogg estate in California, let alone Pomona. Fun fact - the section of freeway that runs next to the college where the estate sits; is called Kellogg Hill.
This was great! I grew up in Michigan and on Kellogg’s cereal. More recently, my wife had worked for the company, and it was just a very interesting story.
Very interesting video. This is a true story, maybe hard to believe. My great grandfather was a fellow physician in Battle Creek Michigan and was good friends in Dr. Kellogg . My mom side of the family had pictures of them together and countless cards and letters from Dr. Kellogg to my great grandfather Dr. Eggleston. In video Mr. Kellogg’s brother didn’t want to go into business with him but need financial back so he ask his good friend Dr. Eggleston. Which he did, now my uncle found records that when stock market crash of 1929 his grandfather lost hundreds of thousands of dollars. So he sold his part back to Dr. Kellogg so my great grandmother could have her mansion. The mansion is still occupied to this day but not by the Eggleston family anymore. So not too many people know this story. So at one time my mothers family had a steak in Kellogg cereal company. Thanks great grandma for wanting your mansion.
Whimsical home, what a perfect description of the style. This place is fantastic. EDIT: I write my first comment before the end. I CANNOT believe this fantastic home was demolished. Only in America does it destroy it’s built heritage. Wow.
4:52 I am sure back when it was taken care of properly, you wouldnt see all of the debri on the carpet, so that might have made it nice, but seeing those carpeted stairs in such an incredibly beautiful room kinda makes me sad. And those handrails are so beautiful! I am in love with the handrails for the staircase! And the posts for them as well!
That’s a whole lotta Corn Flakes, Froot Loops, Frosted Flakes, Frosted Mini-Wheats, Raisin Bran, Rice Krispies, Special K Red Berries, and Apple Jacks. Shame it wasn’t preserved. Kelloggs contributed much to society. Their legacy deserves to be remembered, even though Kellogg Co changed considerably over the years.
“SEEK NOT EARTHLY TREASURES…” is a saying that comes to mind … when seeing how most elaborate entities of their times can be reduced to the point of rubbish to be discarded &/or demolished. The more the man made value & gain , the more the loss … when this perish & rotten. DO NOT RELISH ….. WHAT CAN RELISH … Life is so short. Accumulated entities are left behind to rot & perish 🙏🏽
I was living in Dunedin, FL when this house (no pun intended) went up for sale, for the bargain-basement price of $2.5 million. I remember praying I'd win the lottery just to purchase it! Didn't happen, obviously, and was so very sad to hear of its destruction😢
Now that Kelloggs have gone Halal ( see logo on the back of all Kellogg's boxes ) I never buy them....................... I got this thing about paying a forced tax to advance Islam!!
If I had an endless supply of money I would have guttef the entire original house, whitewashed the walls and enjoyed the breezes thru the large rooms. Every change from the 1920s on should have been sent to the landfill but I believe the original floor plan did have good bones.
The original Post cereal factory here in Battle Creek was renamed General Foods, but it was once again named Post, and still is. My husband and my son-in-law both work at Kellogg's here in the home of the cereal industry.
I like This House because Ken always provides a context and a history of the owners. It’s not just a description of a house. I’m an architect and this is my favorite TH-cam series.
I bet Boo Berry and Count Chocula haunted this place . Even though I think they were the spawn of General Mills . Oh well, let’s just say late at night you used to hear whispers in your ears saying , “ theyr great!!”
What a tragedy that this mansion was demolished. Only in America are treasures demolished. Very few ar demolished in Europe and around the world. SO SAD
America needs to learn to respect the craftsmanship of times before. That home was a masterpiece of history . Glad european countries treasure architecture and history.
Some urban explorers did a video from inside this house . Obviously showing the public what is in an abandoned property is........illegal? Maybe this leads to the theft of valuable items in these mansions? It's terrible that it ended up this way. If it's not yours then stay out
Not gonna lie, my jaw nearly hit the floor when you said it had been demolished..!

Yup, a great pity.
maybe the dead kids in the basement?
People will use all kinds of dumb excuses to tear down buildings but it is almost never cost effective or environmentally friendly.
Actually, the mold would eventually come back, especially due to the humidity and moisture that i know runs rampant in that house due to age and unseen structural failures…lets not even get on the asbestos which is pretty much in every building material used to construct the house…lol..they were right to demolish it….
@@marquiesriley6479 I live here in Florida the mold is HUGE issue inside and outside. It's like it's just waiting for any opportunity to get inside . You can store something inside garage here like a bicycle project thinking it's good being inside be able to get back to finish later. Then two years pass and project rusted out badly. Just never checked on it closely enough to see the rust creeping. Sad day house had to come down.
Must have been really bad.
The 1920's not my period! but such style, such classy times, such elegance that time now has mostly forgotten. The building needed preservation for certain. Such wonders should not have been lost !! One of the best I have ever seen its just Criminal that it was DEMOLISHED!!!!!
Such a shame to tare this down 😢
So interesting to know how Kellogg's started
Years and years and years ago I saw a movie with Matthew Broderick in it which was mostly fiction I believe but was a comedy based on the early days of kelloog and health sanitariums.
As someone who grew up without cold cereals being considered a meal it is odd how this cheap but theoretically nutritious food has now dominated the planet.

The creepy mannequin in the tub throws me off....
It isn’t my taste, but I’m glad that so many people enjoyed it during it’s hay day.
I think that the kitchen was gorgeous!!! It's sad that this home was demolished!!! 🤐
When he mentioned mold and asbestos, yeah, the house needed to be demolished…it would cost more than its worth to abate and renovate the house….
I'm sick to my stomach!! Demolished! There are no words....
I love the history tied into this series; it's captivating. Excellent research and very well edited, great work!
The home's remodeling"updates" were exceptionally ill-fitting and tacky. The manequin "soaking" in the tub and the 70s discotheque were the final indignities foisted upon a house that was always destined for the wrecking ball. Sad!

Most people just can’t comprehend the maintenance and upkeep of these homes. Even restored, these old homes are nice to look at just not necessarily nice to live in.
That is why they become landmarks and part of the Park Service or museums. Better that than destroying history so nonchalantly.
The owners will likely build a modern mansion that will require just as much maintenance.
@@ganymededarling But they won't be fighting toxic mold, and that's a huge plus, frankly.
My favourite part of the house was the chick in the bath tub 🛁🛀
The 60's additions appear to have been inspired by Tony Montana...
The entrance was spectacular
This home was so beautiful. The disco room was so unique. I absolutely love the kitchen and the amazing stain glass windows. So sad to know that this house doesn't exist anymore . Modern day designs aren't as elegant. The Kellog home had a bright and airy feel to it.

I guess I'm in the minority but I'm sorry, I just couldn't live in that house.😢😢😢
Are you seriois, demolished? I mean have you guys no feel for culture and preservation of your own past? Crazy.
I'm an Adventist and we don't believe that enjoying food is sinful. We're normal and just like to eat a healthy diet. Thanks, Ken!
And history and modern science has definitively proven what sugar does to the body and immune system as well as the benefits of a vegetarian diet and a lifestyle that abstains from alcohol, tobacco, tea and coffee - things that Adventists have known for over a century and products that - at that time - were considered healthy and often prescribed solutions for all types of ailments.

Lous Mr Kellog was racist and a fruit cake!
I like the whole house. It's so sad they had to tear it down.😢
Once again, proof that money can't buy taste.
That's criminal that this was demolished! Alas, such is the fate of all too many architectural and historic masterpieces.
Thanks for another great home tour, Ken! I love your videos - and, I might add, that they don't drag on forever and ever like so many do.
Timber ceiling with red and blue stencilling: Elegant.
Your incorrect when you stated the food was bland because enjoyment of food was viewed as sinful. It was because of the desire to have whole, wholesome food with little additives. When the tastebuds are changed, whole food is healthy and delicious with no grease, salt or sugar. That was the goal.
The goal included the elimination of masturbation, which Kellogg was obsessed with. He was truly a nutter of the first order!
God never said it was a sin. The Heart is evil and desperately wicked.
W.K. Was my great, great grandfather on my fathers side.
Unbelievable that it was demolished!😢
This was by far my favorite of your featured mansions.
Amazing in this day and age that a house so historical and beautiful could be allowed to be demolished! Who got paid off? The usual bs that its all about money! So pathetic and sad!

The house literally has the colour scheme of a bowl of Fruit Loops !

A Kellogg, in addition to cereal, also co-invented the modern loud speaker that we all love and use today.

It's terribly sad this interesting house was demolished. Thanks for the history and for Abandoned Southeast for the photos.
Now that Kelloggs have gone Halal ( see logo on the back of all Kellogg's boxes ) I never buy them....................... I got this thing about paying a forced tax to advance Islam!!
If I had an endless supply of money I would have guttef the entire original house, whitewashed the walls and enjoyed the breezes thru the large rooms.
Every change from the 1920s on should have been sent to the landfill but I believe the original floor plan did have good bones.
You probably rent
I can only imagine your bad taste…..
So So Sad to see this historical mansion lost - even if it was not to the taste of many - it should have been saved.😢😣😢
The original Post cereal factory here in Battle Creek was renamed General Foods, but it was once again named Post, and still is. My husband and my son-in-law both work at Kellogg's here in the home of the cereal industry.

Lived, went to college, and worked in BC. (as a nurse at The San). Thanks for the post ( or Kellogg's).
ALL BEAUTIFUL .
Wow, Addison Mizner really got around in Florida; I thought that he only worked in Palm Beach.
The Kellogg broom factory was in Kalamazoo, where I was born, according to what my grandfather told me.
Before AC that place had to be hot in the summer. Especially while being used as a Marine Corp housing.
What a tragedy that this mansion was demolished. Only in America are treasures demolished. Very few ar demolished in Europe and around the world. SO SAD
Interesting
If it were up to me I would have dug up the Mansion and moved the Mansion to Lavington, Nairobi, Kenya
Family kitchen, I doubt they cooked for themselves.
Kellogg was also a proponent of Eugenics
America needs to learn to respect the craftsmanship of times before. That home was a masterpiece of history . Glad european countries treasure architecture and history.
It’s disgusting that it was torn down. I’m sure some incredible ugly pieces of crap will go up in its place
I Don’t see how they had sanitariums back then but not now. I suppose the money to run them. NYC and Cali need them
Thanks Mr Kellogg for good cerals it it great 😂😂😂😂😂
Get your facts right about why he created cornflakes and his disgusting abuse tactics.
Imagine, the artistry of this house to fall in such disrepair someone wants to tear it down..
I cried 😢 when you said it was demolished 🎉 rich ass holes destroyed a gem 😡
Wow that house was exquisite and lavishly made.
That disco room looked like it came straight from Vegas.
The beat part for me was when you said it got demolished
Some urban explorers did a video from inside this house . Obviously showing the public what is in an abandoned property is........illegal? Maybe this leads to the theft of valuable items in these mansions? It's terrible that it ended up this way. If it's not yours then stay out
Unreal a Mizner house was not valued more then it was …
No fun when you’ve gone snap crackle and pop
What a shame about that house.
GREAT GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU KEN 😊😊😊😊
