      Would the residents of the city not form a preservation group and organize a petition to retain those beautiful old mansions? I wholeheartedly agree that developers should not be allowed to demolish an important part of Nashville's history, all in the name of greed.

      Wish there was some way to save this historic home!!! There is nothing today that can touch the value this home has in our history...the craftmanship is beyond the crap we see today in so many ways. The people back then wanted to leave their mark in what they did so they did it so well! SAD, SAD, SAD!!! People do not appreciate this as some of us do!!!

      Mahogany was cheapest and closest to to import. It was brought in on the slave ships, along with the slaves from the Caribbean and East Indes (free labor)
      Cherry trees don't grow in the south, and over time, doesn't age qs well as mahogany in the humidity of the gulf coast. Mahogany develops an almost black patina, and since it's a soft to medium wood, thevpatina can be scrapedvoff with almost a fingernail to reveal its true resonance beneath.

    OMG I just found your channel by chance actually and thoroughly enjoyed this video ...it touched my heart for a couple of reasons number one though I live in Southern California now I was born in Nashville and have always called it home ...number two my grandparents lived on a street where at the end of the cul-de-sac sat a antebellum mansion that was so amazing and so full of history and literally gave me chills when I stood in front of it and peered through the gates. God bless you for what you do, that wonderful attitude that you have toward things from our past that still hold something sacred. Greed is an ugly thing.

    Hearing you share about the history of this home and the destruction of so much history that is being horribly demolished for the sake of "progress and growth" literally rips my heart out. I moved to Nashville in the mid 80's and became passionately involved in the fight to preserve a mansion in the heart of Donelson. This mansion and its 23 out buildings, including the original cabin from the late 1700s, predated The Hermitage, home of President Andrew Jackson. As a matter of fact, the president bought several acres of land from the land owner, Mr. John Hoggat, to use as his race track. That land sets on the banks of the Stone River, which divides Hermitage and Donelson. A bank, Khols, and a Target store currently set on this land, and if one looks carefully, you can actually see the bowl of President Jackson's race track today. This home called Clover Bottom Mansion was the former home of John Hoggat, his wife, and his niece (by marriage). In the 1980s, the familial owners (the Andrew Price family, who bought it from the Hoggat family) donated the home and the land to Clover Bottom, which became a mental institution and later was turned over the TN Department of Education. As a member of the Clover Bottom Historical Association, we fought the state for years, trying to get them to release the funds donated and received by the Federal government to assist in the preservation and restoration of this historic site. It took us almost 2 decades, several lawsuits, and finally, the designation of the home as a registered Historic site for the money's to finally be released. During this time the beautiful home and its 23 out buildings endured vandalism, over growth attempting to reclaim it, and exposure of its beautiful architectural details to the elements. We (the 12 of us) spent our own money and time in the upkeep of the grounds and blocking the interior from additional damage and vandalism, as well as researching the history of the home and its owners. Today the home has been preserved and restored to its original state and is the proud home to the Tennessee Historical Commission. Irony being, the department that now calls this beauty its "official" headquarters, was the very same department that we fought for nearly 20 years.
    I wish the same could be said of other homes in Nashville, such as this one. However, Nashville proved what "side" it was truly on, when they allowed the former home, AND a registered Historic Site, the home of the Country music legend, Jim Reeves to be destroyed for a Home Depot. I cried, literally the day those bulldozers took it down. It proved that in the people who govern the politics within our city, have no respect or feel obligation to preserve or protect our city's history or the men and women that put the name, Nashville, TN on the map with the moniker of "Music City." It grieves my heart just thinking about it. Thank you for filming this home. Without individuals like you, future generations will never know or see the history of this city and how money rules over it in Nashville, Tennessee.

    Thank you for your lovely tour. It is a shame so many of our wonderful heritage is falling to make room for tract homes. I did not feel spirits or a tragic happening as some in the comments have made, simply a loss that is unrecoverable. Perhaps someone can save all the wonderful woodwork, fireplaces etc to be used in another lovely home.

    Any follow up videos? This one is particularly heart-breaking. Some very unique pieces inside not to mention it’s Queen Anne style architecture, she is an gorgeous example of our architectural heritage. The developers should allow someone to at least move her if not save her. There’s nothing wrong with an antiquity sitting amongst a newly developed area. The curved gin windows in the turret, staircase stylized after the naturalist movement of the era, the pier mirrors, and the incredible millwork suspended from the ceiling is the jewel piece! I pray someone saw this video and had the means and connections to save the gem! Any follow ups would be fabulous. Thanks for showcasing her!

    • @JeremyXplores
      @JeremyXplores  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Without a doubt, I get scared on EVERY SINGLE EXPLORATION, and it's often during these terrifying moments that I produce my best work. Alone in an abandoned building, my mind becomes my greatest obstacle. Everything inside of me is screaming “Get out now! This doesn’t feel right. RUN!” But it’s exactly in those moments when it shifts from an exploration of the location, to an exploration of myself.
      Society conditions us to avoid fear. We do this in a ton of areas of our lives- be it our careers, with relationships, with personal growth, etc.. Instead of leaning into discomfort and challenge, we instead eliminate it and escape from what brings out the deepest, most passionate parts of ourselves. But sometimes, the very thing that scares us, just might be the very keys to our liberation.
      These abandoned places serve as unconventional classrooms, teaching me valuable skills like operating under anxiety. Even in the most unnerving situations, I find that I'm able to keep moving forward and from that emerges an amazing story of each of these locations. These abandoned places become unique classrooms, teaching me how to operate under anxiety and from that I’m able to unearth the incredible stories these places have to offer.
      Thanks for your question and I’m so glad to have you along the journey!

    Its too bad the culture in general doesn't value history or preservation.. Unfortunately though this mansion may have had its day of grandeur , the subsequent occupants didn't care for the house at all, it show's in the later add ons, like the faux add on ceilings, these types of homes had higher alcove style ceilings and crown moldings,,,. Apparently these tacky add ons were done later in the 20th century, the '70s wood panel atrocity for example in some of the rooms. Also closing off the fireplaces, obviously the house was converted to oil heat ,judging by the oil tank visible outside. And electricity, the light fixtures are definitely not original to the house. The house was ruined long ago, also judging from the moisture accumulation in the faux low ceilings, indicated by staining.. which indicates moisture/ mold . .the bathrooms were redone and have no original fixtures left from the antebellum period. There's probably mold and asbestos mitigation issues with the later addons throughout the house.... ..Even if the house could be restored it would be very expensive since if that oil tank was abandoned it may have leached into the ground....all kinds of potential issues with this house and property, ..from an investor perspective its more cost effective to just demo the whole thing and start over.. if the original owners wanted it preserved they would've applied to have it declared a historic site and would've had to comply with historical preservation standards,...I felt grief for the lack of care this home had..the original wood fixtures and fireplace facades were the high notes of this tour...you can see the level of masterful craftsmanship in the construction of the curved window frame and stairway. ..They really dont make them like that anymore. Its sad that it came to this tragic end..

  • @nickb1892

    I was feeling deeply, generally considering that home, how beautiful and unique that it is, the people that experienced it's purpose.
    I was then haulted, considering the gorgeous, soulful woodworking, and remembering the conspired plan to level that home.
    Very unfortunate. Even if the demolition and building plan can't be stopped, then I really hope that at least that detailed woodwork had been salvaged, and divied among people who will value and enjoy it. Perhaps, even repurposed, incorporated into modern homes.
    If I could even have one of those many, matching spindles of the staircase, then I would keep it always! Would love to find history of those who experienced and contributed to that home.
    My long sentiment considered, or not, either way. Jeremy, very touching document videography here. Always be safe, above all things. Thank You!

    I love the natural lighting, the porches, woodwork as well as al of the southern charm of these old houses. It's a shame that they will eventually be torn down to make way for the new era of houses with little to no personality. I wonder why someone doesn't make sort of scrap book with pieces of the wall paper as well as pictures and document the history of these houses. IF they have to be torn down why not sell some of the reusable items such as the beautiful fireplace mantels, hinges, the stairway posts. But why not try to repurpose the homes instead to showcase their yesteryear life? You don't see very many finials with the pineapple shape any more. These finials were used on the plantation homes as a "welcoming" gesture. We need more. I would love to have some of those ornate features on my Georgia home!
