Welcome to stunning Marlsgate Plantation, and our historic home tour of this remarkable gem! Marlsgate sits at the site of a Plantation Plain home, built in the antebellum period by the Dortch family. From 1885 to 1913, the Dortch family farmed the 7000 acres of this plantation with the help of 100 tenant farmer families.
This amazing neo-classical revival home resembles a Greek Revival, but as it this beauty was built in 1904 that places her style in the Neo-Classical Revival period. Inside you'll find 14' ceilings, all of which are adorned with pressed tin decoration. Ionic style columns flank a grand central staircase, leading to gorgeous stained glass and a monumental second floor landing.
This beautiful historic home remains much as it was when it was built in 1904. The grounds contain buildings from 1888-1930, one of our favorites being the glass conservatory with koi pond. You'll also see a glimpse of the original plantation "big house', which is a much more acurrate example of plantation architecture than the few high style greek revival or italianate styles that have become synonymous with the era due to Hollywood glamorization.
Sitting across from Bearskin Lake this beautiful early 20th century historic home is now the site of weddings, corportate events, cooking classes and bus tours. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975, followed by the Dortch Planation in 1979. If you are ever in Arkansas don't miss your chance to see Marlsgate Plantation.

I always get a cup of coffee and settle back in my most comfortable chair to enjoy your tours. So nice to be led by someone who knows the right names of styles and periods! Keep it up !
Half Testier pronounced …..Teeeester, long E Sound …….beds, okay. Otherwise pretty good job. Thank you.
Not positive but I think the transomewindows above doors could be opened for air flow between rooms
I am a direct descendent of the Arkansas Dortches. Thank you for the tour. It’s been years since I’ve been in the house.
😂 I like how these places look but another part of me is like don’t do it you should remember the history
I agree, its more than just a pretty house. There were some residents there but not by choice. Let's not forget our history. They are apart of the story too.@@afowler830
I am too a descendant of the dorches
@afowler830 You are right. Always remember that history.has That is not the only Plantation that the owner Dortches ones South Carolina.
I almost died in the beginning of November. Spent the majority of the time in hospital. These videos gave me something positive to do during this time. Thank you! Love the beauty of the houses and stories of the families that called the houses home.
Oh my goodness. I’m so glad you’re still with us. And I’m glad our videos gave you something to do.
I definitely love tin ceilings an this house has some of the best I have ever seen
That was not just a tour of a magnificent home. It was a superb experience. I will no doubt see it again my dreams. It is the definition of pure opulence.
My goodness absolutely stunning. It takes my breath away. I don't know why I get so emotional when I see historic homes. Now this one is especially spectacular. Ugh I get shivers
Laine, that ruby/garnet color blouse looks glorious on you. Scarlett O'Hara would be jelly.
Thanks for another fantastic tour!
grape or raspberry?
Thank you for sharing with us the most beautiful homes. Your presentation is impeccable and your love and passion for these wonderful homes shows 😊
Every detail was considered when building this home. Love it. I noticed the green Tara curtains on the landing. No dress making with those beauties. Thanks for sharing.
Scrolled down at the beginning of the video and saw your comment, for the rest of the video I couldn't help but imagine all the drapery being used for 1880 to 1910 period outfits.
Wow! Such a grand place. Beautiful ceilings! Great details on the fireplaces and throughout the home. Everywhere you look there is something to see. Love it.
The Scott, Arkansas Dortches are my distant cousins. My Dortch ancestors moved to Kentucky from Virginia shortly after the Revolution. The land they settled on is still mostly in the family. This house is a masterpiece!
Hi cuz!
@@jasondortch2313 hey!
Out of all your home tours. This is my favorite!!!! So much character!!!
Thank you for sharing.
The symmetry of the grand staircase is a jaw-dropper. I too love the sun room with hand-painted tiles, and the conservatory. It's interesting to compare the level of detail that could be achieved with tin ceilings, versus plaster. I do wonder what maintenance is required for the tin. The furnishings are beautiful and so tasteful. I have a china cup and saucer hand-painted by my husband's great-aunt Ethel. I believe it was a common activity for ladies of talent at the time. Great story. You were especially glowing over this one, Laine, and I'm not surprised. (Love your blouse...my favorite color!) Great drone work, Kevin. Thank you!
It was built by African Slaves💯
I always appreciate the drone footage. Gives a perspective you would never get walking in. Impressed by the amount of original buildings also. What's not to love in the house? I collect tea pots and cups. Overflowing 🫖😁❤️🤍💙
Oh my goodness! This home is the very definition of graciousness.
What a beautiful place. The house is amazing with all the antiques and tin ceilings. You both do such a fabulous job of presenting a property. It is so nice that the camera goes nice and slow and you can see all the details. Thanks also for all the history and tidbits. I learn something new every video I watch.
I would love to step back in time just to see some of these most gorgeous homes in its prime💕
Honestly this one's so expertly cared for I scarcely can imagine it looking all that different.
May I join you?
Such amazing homes. Why are there so many of these beautiful huge homes in Arkansas?
Absolutely beautiful home. I’m impressed that so much of the original buildings and land remain! I also appreciate that you showed the true “planter’s home”. So often people don’t realize that in most cases the word plantation was equivalent to farm, very few lived as Gone With the Wind would have us believe. My grandparents lived in one of those homes and although it had beautiful 14 foot ceilings, giant porches, etc. it wasn’t a mansion by any measure.
Also loved that she painted china. My great grandmother painted china and I have some of it. I also have her antique French Haviland (service for 14) and it is clear to see that Haviland, Limoges, and Nippon influenced her greatly.
Someone had to be quite the shopaholic with all those furniture pieces in that glorious home what a beauty
Good old days 😁. Looks like our great great aunt's house. Beautiful European craftsmanship 🙏
That was a treat for the eyes and a wonderful journey going back in time! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and appreciation for history, architecture and my favorite ... antiques!
That house is so beautifully decorated.
Just breathtaking! If there is a place that defines Beauty, Marlsgate is IT! It is truly a magnificent place; and so is the host - a very pretty, warm and well-spoken guide who made the tour captivating as she tells the story.
Those tiles with hunting dogs are insanely unique and beautiful!
What an incredibly beautiful, lovely place......
Oh my gosh!!! I love that she hand painted China for so many.... that is so precious! And what a wonderful gift to have received! Gorgeous! I learn so much from you in every video, Thank you Laine & Kevin!
This is the most beautiful home that I have ever had the pleasure of viewing! It’s perfect! I would be so happy to live here. Thank you so much for the amazing tour!❤️
What a treat to see this gorgeous home! Thank you so much for sharing this with us
Thank you for showing the attic! My inner child loves attics and as soon as I saw that round window overlooking the front entrance I had to see the world through it. I love exploring houses and this video gave me that feeling I'd get visiting friends and family and left to entertain myself as long as I didn't cause trouble.
Oh my gosh another gorgeous home! Absolutely LOVE IT !!!!!! The conservatory is to die for. And I’m a big China buff too. And that she hand painted them was great! I love the tin ceilings also. The upstairs pattern that Kevin loves is in my house also! I just wished they hadn’t covered up the stained glass with the curtains . That would be fabulous to see coming up the stairs. I love light! Thank you so much . I really enjoyed this tour!
Thank you so much for this tour. I have driven by Marlsgate multiple times to gawk at it, but I've never seen the interior. The ceilings are amazing. If you haven't been to Choctaw down in Natchez, the owner (David) used to own Marlsgate. He loves to show his collection of heirloom antiques, and he is very entertaining. Also, if you like half tester beds, there's a great antique store over in Alexandria, Louisiana (not far from Natchez) that has some nice ones.
This house is one of my favorites on your channel.
Stunning is an understatement for this grandeur....
I am a huge fan of all these beautiful pressed tin ceilings!!
I've toured a few plantations, and its amazing to see the contract between the plantation owner's "Big House" and the slave quarters. They really saw Africans as cargo and less like people.
Oh my, the conservatory is what my sweetest dreams are made of 😍
You and me both. Like she said, I would just live in there!
Wow, that was amazing. The collection of antiques is incredible. A true rare beauty. Thank you for that fabulous tour.
This home is literally bringing me to tears.. it’s that beautiful!💞☀️. Thank you for the tour!‼️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌈
I absolutely love your channel, thank you so much for showing us all these great beauties!
What a magnificent estate! The tin ceiling designs are incredible. Also, the fact that previous owner painted all that china & the tiles for the fireplace was pretty amazing & was so talented to do that work. Yes, the observatory would be a great place to hang out in! Thanks for the tour.
I toured this home in April 2021 and it was so beautiful. As we entered the front door we were greeted by the gracious owners, Beau and Martha Ellen, and their hospitality was amazing. We were served a refreshing beverage of Marlsgate 1888 Punch, followed by a tour of the beautiful outside grounds, then a delicious lunch in the dining room, and topped off with a tour of the vintage house. We learned a lot of history about the plantation and I would absolutely recommend adding this to your list of places to visit.
Thank you so much for this tour! It feels like I am on vacation!! Love these! I get overwhelmed thinking of all the decisions that were made in building/designing these grand homes.
I’m glad these homes are being preserved because I can’t imagine this type of style, scale and quality being duplicated much if at all in the future. They are times capsules.
What a beautiful home and I love the antiques
I love the historic homes you folks document and I especially appreciate the cantilevered elements presented wherever she goes.
That melon pink (or pink melon?) *glow to that master bedroom, the Autumnal field scene depicted in those tiles above the mantel in the family room , Kevin's favorite (I agree, thought dynamic) tin ceiling (third floor?), and as well - that very Victorian-in-feel (very "Crystal Palace-esque") hot house - my goodness! Yes, very special place. Thank you for the share.
What a lovely tour! Most enjoyed!❤
Love the entry way of this grand home and the ceilings.
That conservatory is my absolute DREAM! I'd never leave that room. My plants would be so happy out there! I could set up my studio there, make pots, tend my plants, and live happily ever after (with a fluffy cat or two, obviously). 🤯🥰💕
For me, of the most beautiful house tours you have ever done. Love the style of antiques, wall colors, and pressed tin ceilings. The interior of the conservatory is just beautiful too. So lovely and peaceful. And I must say, Mrs. Dorchester in the paintings in the hallway at 15:35 look very much like you!! An interesting coincidence for sure.
Once again! The beauty of these places you fine, we so enjoy seeing them with you. Thank You! Can't wait to see pearl again. God Bless you both!
The mirrors, furnishings, and all the decor is just gorgeous. Loved it all! Thanks for the tour.
Such a beautiful home. I enjoyed this so much.
Aloha, have been watching your videos and this mansion is the most breathtaking thus far. I adore Eastlake and at one time had a home that I furnished with many beautiful pieces. The ceilings are phenomenal.This Lady is definitely the cat’s meow😻.
Totally wowed by all the chandeliers, the tin ceiling tiles, and that conservatory! I have considered putting tin tiles on my ceilings, but seeing them all with peeling paint makes me curious why... anyway, they are all stunning designs. I could totally live in that conservatory, too! 🤗
I enjoy your detailed tour of this lovely home! Natalie had her bridal portrait taken here.
Your videos are always a joy to watch. I'm always impressed with he knowledge that you have of the history of these beautiful homes and knowledge of vintage architecture in general. Excellent work!
Thank you very much!
I love to guess the style of the home before you give the details. I'm not very good, but I'm learning! Your presentation was lovely, thank you so much!
Like when homes are not dirty messy and clothes stuff all over the floor. Love these kind of videos .
So appreciate your architect eye to detail and beautiful camera work! Thank you for sharing these beautiful homes!
The house amazing. The property amazing. THE ANTIQUES AND DISHES ARE JUST FANTASTIC!! They could take me entire bank account to let me shop around!
This was, quite simply, an absolute joy! I love this house.
Thanks for the tour of the wonderful building and it's history. I understand your time is limited but It would be interesting to myself and maybe others to see a behind and below the paint and panels focusing on structure and systems. I really enjoy the tours of Longwood's uncompleted floors and Biltmore's behind the scenes tour for a look at the boilers and build structure. I had the good fortune to have a beyond the ropes tour and discuss the restoration and also building furniture replicas of the Hermitage by Alf Sharp a well renown and respected craftsman. The homes you feature my not be as famous as some but are just as interesting as the Natchez home tour or the Mansions of Newport and deserve a deeper look into the people who and how construction and sourced the materials to build the wonderful places.
Watching videos on beautiful old houses is my church.. I just LOVE your channel!! ⭐❤️⭐❤️⭐❤️⭐❤️
This tour brought me nothing but pure happiness! This home is a masterpiece filled with treasure in history! You filmed it just right and captured everything that was important and more! I love how you explain and teach us so much in this video thank you ! I loved your Blazy commercial it was super adorable and now I want one or maybe a couple of boxes! Thank you so much for all that you do for us you’re amazing!
A walk in history. Thank you.
The orangerie is DREAMY.
Truly a beautiful and unique house is Marlsgate! Those pressed tin ceilings and that staircase are real treasures! The owner has certainly accumulated a great collection of gorgeous antiques.
I do think that the word is pronounced "teester" not "tester" and is sometimes spelled that way. If you have heard differently, please enlighten me. And the glass panel at the top of the door may have been to allow in more natural light.
Pardon the expression, but “teester” is a Southern bastardization of the word. TEST-er is the pronunciation used in Europe (where the style originated) and in other parts of the US.
@@OurRestorationNation Thank you so much for clarifying that for me! I have lived in Virginia for over 30 years and have thought the Southern pronunciation was preferred. I am glad to learn that it is regional. I can only guess at how it arose. I enjoy your video tours!
This home is sumptuous! The house manages to be grand and warm and inviting at the same time. I do have one question, why do the bedrooms have so many chairs in them? It is beautiful anyway,but it seems like too many to me.
This home is amazing 🤩...
Just a magnificent home. Everything from the staircase to the decor is simply stunning. Can u imagine growing up in a house like that?! And like u said, I'd like to go shopping in there too.😉 Thank you sharing!
Best 30 minutes I have spent all week, and yes, just let me live in the conservatory ❣
what a great place and what a bunch of great stories !!!!
Thanks again for a marvelous tour.
Great Video!!!!
I love the sitting areas at the top of the stairs. They're so charming.
My friend had her wedding there in June of 2004.❤️
Beautiful. I love the kitchens.
Beautiful place! I wish I had the money. Thank you for sharing this beautiful place
Beautiful!
Lovely!
Beautiful
Fabulous.
Beautiful housè
I really like your house tours! You should do some in Louisiana - New Orleans, Batton Rouge, Lafayette... There are tones beautiful antebellum homes. I find the French influence on this part of the country so interesting.
The outside is so reminiscent of the Sears Magnolia that I am stunned. It would not surprise me at all if Marlsgate was one of the original inspirations for the kit.
Just…WOWWWWW!!!
I think this is my favorite!! The tin ceilings and that bathroom!! Oh my goodness the conservatory!!!
That landing just screams a whiteflowing wedding gown with a long train and veil just following down that staircase as you walk gracefully down the stairs
Absolutely gorgeous home.
What a beautiful and tastefully done home.
I noticed a lot of paint pealing off the tin ceilings.
I'm sure correcting that would be quite a project.
I'd say that glass at the top of that tall door is simply for added light.
Thank you for the tour.
What a lovely place. But …good gracious! There is a TON of furniture in every space. If the owners ever need money for repairs they can sell some pieces or suite off and not miss it. The window in the side entry door to the dining room - was it designed simply to mimic the other transom windows above the doors? Agreed- I love the Art Nouveau tin ceilings. Cool basement kitchen! I am surprised there was not a large space for a ballroom or gathering . Thanks for sharing.
Everything you do how conduct and live your life the most fascinating architect and your program's are my most favorite thing too watch !!! Oh your intellect on these homes is fascinating and so interesting !!! And you know every name and details of these wonderful homes !!! Please keep them coming !!!! Thank you !!!
Those green curtains at 16:56 looks exactly like the curtains Scarlett O'Hara made her infamous dress from! 😁
Mrs. Dortch was definitely a Pinterest Mom. 😂😍❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am a dorch.I would love to visit this place
I love your channel so much! Excellent content! 🥰🥰
Beautiful tour hunny- as always
You have to love Marlsgate! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
