I think, more to the point is, that so many of the lost grand old houses ended up like this one: abandoned and in great disrepair. And expensive to maintain when they are in excellent repair. They are things of beauty for sure, and I wish someone (or I, when the Lotto gods smile on me) could save them all!
Back when homes were made with true craftsman who appreciate and took pride in their accomplishments and work. Tis the reason why most are still in great functional order. These days, you don't know who or what is building your home...
Zinc made a lot of people wealthy. My great grandparents found zinc on their farm and it afforded them a better life, they built a new outhouse with a regular door on it.

What a truly special place this is! The grand staircase leading to the front door was breathtaking. Upon entering the rest of the mansion did not disappoint. The finishes from the floors to the ceilings are stunning! It is so great that it is being well cared for and others can appreciate the beauty and history of the mansion. Thank you.
This is a era home for sure. I can only imagine if those walls could.talk the wonderful experiences it would tell. Beautifully mastered wood work everywhere and one of a kind craftsmanship. I can only.pray they (whoever that might be) decides to restore and bring this grand lady back to its former beauty before it's too late. Thank you so much for showing this eye candy for the soul.

A very well-done video. It is absolutely amazing that the home stayed in the same family for all of those years. Equally amazing and gratifying is that it remained basically untouched and that it is being preserved! (This situation is very similar to Wilderstein in Rhinebeck, NY, the Suckley home.)
I looked up information about the Hegeler Carus families. Mary's father built this mansion. He and his friend were into zinc mining & other minerals. Mary was the first woman to graduate from an Illinois college with an engineering degree. She worked alongside her father in the business and eventually ran it. Her husband was a writer and editor of religious articles and publications. He was a pioneer in introducing interfaith communication. It is well worth reading information about these two families. There's a lot more to both of these families than the above synopsis. 😊
@@LJones-n8c Thanks for the information. I manly watch Old Movies from the 1930’s-1950’s. People, Cars, Buildings including the ones constructed in the 1700th Hundred’s, and early 20th Century including Old vintage clocks, Radios, Lionel, American Flyer, Ives Trains. Old Coke Cola Machines from the 1940’s-1950’s are all an interest to me. I have I think 16 old Coke Cola machines dating back to the 1940’s- early 1950’s. And more Old Radios from the 1940’s, and 100’s of O Gauge, and Standard Gauge Trains. I have been collecting old cars, radios, lights signs and more for over 30 years. I just appreciate history, and antique, or vintage every thing. It brings to me personally a time that I in many ways wish that I could have lived in. It just transports me to a happier time that I so much have always appreciated.
PLEASE Tell Me we’re can I see about this Family and their Lives….I wish I was RICH I would Completely redo this Home BACK not Change To make it as GRAND as it once was….Just to look at the Books in that Home is BREATHTAKING at least to me….Then the Kitchen seeing All of those BEAUTIFUL Dishes the Old furniture would do them all over and bring them back to life….Then I would fix it be be seen By ALL that would be interested in taking a tour….I know I wouldn’t Leave….
Very well done video of a spectacular treasure. But I must comment about the music. This rendition of the Coventry Carol (first song) is by far the most beautiful I’ve heard. Moved me to tears. Thank you.

Lovely tribute to this fabulous home. I can't imagine how many servants it took to keep it going. Kudos to those who have been responsible for saving and restoring it. The Google street view is quite good. Thanks!
If only the walls could talk. Stories of grand parties and events, not to mention the Grand folks that visited. Thank you for sharing this beautiful home with us😊
There is no end to the mastery of craftsmanship in this stunning mansion! Oh, how I wish that I had lived, (1800’s) been healthy, and wealthy at that time in history, and to have lived in a beautiful mansion such as this. I sincerely, hope that this architectural masterpiece can be saved and brought back to it’s prominence where it belongs!
❤❤❤ SPECTACULAR!! UNPARALLELED. It was somewhat surreal by everything being intacted and probably in the original place where it was when the house was built. It has been well cared and loved. She has aged beautifully 😊
Amazing craftsmanship especially compared to what’s built today. Absolutely gorgeous and all those furnishings, baskets and trunks. It will be a labor of love for sure.

Now THIS is what a house should be! This is equal to any castle in England. It is from an era in our country that will never come again. SO great that it is being saved. This is on my list a mansions to tour!
What very grand old place wealth 57 rooms JUST WOW amazing. I am very glad that the house is being maintained and people can tour it is a part of history that should not be allowed to fall into ruins
@@annetteboyd8940 Not so sure there were bathrooms, otherwise they'd be in the vid. Immaculate massive palaces worldwide had no bathrooms. Seems as if the previous civilization didn't need them 🤔
Thank you for posting looks like my grandparents house on a much smaller scale & a little less grand. Three stories with a turret room & a maids staircase down to the kitchen in the back.
Glad to know this house is being preserved for tours. Makes no sense to tear such houses down & replace them with ugly modern buildings. Loved the music, and without narration: the photographs speak for themselves. Merry Xmas from California! 😄🧑🎄🎄👍
What an amazing home. It meant so much to the family that they lived there until the last one died. I wonder how many people lived, loved and died there? Thank you for this very well done video! 😊
Ohhhh how the heart aches for art. These interiors make me think of the contrast stark contrast in DC. DuPont Circle is stunning historical structure after stunning historical structure turned into dive bars with faulty sewage mixed in with a few maintained ones. However, so many have been reduced to cement floors, open ductwork, and an interior as cold as the clientele. I did not grow up wealthy nor find my way to wealth, but I appreciate it. I appreciate it when it creates things of such lasting beauty, for the people working that spot it stands.
This was one beautiful mansion in its glory days and lack of funds let it deteriorate in the later years. What a nice video and we hope Illinois took over the place and made it a national historical site. It needs lots of work as much of the paint is cracking and falling away.
Imagine the last, lone inhabitant of that huge, beautiful, historic home, knowing their passing was the end of an era. How sad. So glad it’s going to be restored.
This is by far one of the grandest and most opulent mansions that I have ever viewed. It would cost a fortune to maintain. Thank you for this presentation.
wow! j'admire le travail des artisans du passé et avec les meubles, la cuisine, la salle de lavage et d'exercice la maison nous raconte son histoire et nous transporte dans un autre siècle, merci d'avoir partagé avec nous c'était un merveilleux voyage dans le passé ❤❤❤.
I literally gasped when I saw the original laundry room, gym, kitchen and butlers pantry intact. These are the rarest of rooms as they often don’t survive in historic homes. So in addition to the absolutely magnificent architecture and interiors, especially those marquetry floors, intricately.stenciled ceilings, and original light fixtures, this house gives us a rare glimpse into original rooms and artifacts rarely seen in any historic property of that era. This Home absolutely should be preserved. I am so thankful it was saved and it is a museum. We all should support this museum. Thank you for sharing this with us. I hope they can film a period documentary here if it can be done safely without damaging the home. It would be wonderful to see actresses in authentic reproduction 1870’s silk bustle gowns walking those halls.!
WOW!! What attention was given to the details…….even in the smallest of places!! We built a small house and the decisions were overwhelming and yet so small compared to what this house has!! I’m impressed!! I can hear the sound of children running through the hallways and up and down the stairs with their laughter and shouts spreading throughout the home! It’s a shame to see it not being up kept but I’m sure because of its size it would take so much money and time. Such beauty!!!

Yes exquisitely beautiful but Extremely somber, gloomy and haunting. It gives one feelings of trepidation. This home is the perfect setting for the Classic American Ghost Story. It has a chilling atmosphere. I would hate to be trapped there overnight.

I am FASCINATED by older homes and estates like this. Grew up in New England where they are plentiful. This is beautiful! Where in the Midwest is it located? I love the music, the photos and the presentation. BEAUTIFUL. Im a new fan. Subscribing to your channel. Thank you for this!
I really wish the entire video was in color. No where has anyone ever seen the world in black and white unless it was in photos and it’s far more beautiful to see the home in color as we would see it if we were there. I wish I could do a walkthrough myself. I adore the old homes.
Whenever I see a structure like this, I think of the workers who built it. Masons, carpenters, painters, all the tradesmen who used all their skills to erect this building. The details are breathtaking. Their craftsmanship is stunning.
Does this gorgeous home/museum belong to the state now? Maintenance needs to be kept up to preserve this part of history. I wish you had provided more information about the family. The family had to be very rich &/or the father had a very well-paying job. It doesn't look like any expense was spared when building it.😊❤
Wow, Wow, a treasured beauty & by UrbanEye. Yeah, Proud to see on Register & open for tours. Curious how can those live in such large places, then to saw where had large family & bet hired help. House is so large could be hotel .... Love the lights at base of stairs & fireplace in hall, Wow. Was that foam ceiling at 15:00? Only the best from UrbanEye....
This is a beautiful house, made even more so knowing that generations of one family called it home. This is from when houses had character and originality. I watch YT videos showing multi-million dollar homes for sale throughout the country, and the architecture seems more like that of a business office building or a huge warehouse. They feel cold and are show-offish, and not something I would imagine generations wanting to live in. I hope the members of the family that grew up in the house in this video had happy lives.
Beautiful house with intricate carvings inside and out. Could never replicate today because the craftspeople with the required skills don’t exist. Protect these structures
Very imposing exterior/interior-almost looks overbuilt or extra fortified-evoking a permanence that it would be admired and prevail for centuries! The kind of craftsmenship found here is irreplaceable and is to be marvelled at! Truly a Masterpiece and a showcase of how Homes were built to last forever!If it isn't on a listing of Homes of Historical Signifigance it should be!Breathtakingly Beautiful!
Absolutely a great house. Sadly so many of these beautiful buildings were demolished to make room for ugly modern buildings. Awesome video.
Thank you for watching, glad you liked it.
I think, more to the point is, that so many of the lost grand old houses ended up like this one: abandoned and in great disrepair. And expensive to maintain when they are in excellent repair.

I am FASCINATED by older homes and estates like this. Grew up in New England where they are plentiful. This is beautiful! Where in the Midwest is it located? I love the music, the photos and the presentation. BEAUTIFUL. Im a new fan. Subscribing to your channel. Thank you for this!
nice piano...
Thank you for watching.
I really wish the entire video was in color. No where has anyone ever seen the world in black and white unless it was in photos and it’s far more beautiful to see the home in color as we would see it if we were there. I wish I could do a walkthrough myself. I adore the old homes.
The city should turn it into a bed and breakfast! I love old places ♥️
The 1874 Second Empire Mansion is now a museum now. Thank you for watching.
Stunning! Very impressed by the home gym.

The first time I walked into the house I got goosebumps.

Whenever I see a structure like this, I think of the workers who built it. Masons, carpenters, painters, all the tradesmen who used all their skills to erect this building. The details are breathtaking. Their craftsmanship is stunning.
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Absolutely stunning and precious who says beauty is in the eye of the beholder NEVER saw this magnificent establishment ❤
Glad you liked it and thank you for watching.
Does this gorgeous home/museum belong to the state now? Maintenance needs to be kept up to preserve this part of history. I wish you had provided more information about the family. The family had to be very rich &/or the father had a very well-paying job. It doesn't look like any expense was spared when building it.😊❤
Thank you for watching.
Breath taking. Just beautiful!

Beautiful mansion, definitely a bucket lister kinda home.
Thank you for watching.
This is a beautiful house, made even more so knowing that generations of one family called it home. This is from when houses had character and originality. I watch YT videos showing multi-million dollar homes for sale throughout the country, and the architecture seems more like that of a business office building or a huge warehouse. They feel cold and are show-offish, and not something I would imagine generations wanting to live in. I hope the members of the family that grew up in the house in this video had happy lives.
Thank you for watching and for your comments.
Have not heard that tune since I was very young. Thanks. Title appreciated

Love your response to the negative comments….❤️. Awesome video…
Thanks and thanks for watching.
When they used to say pay attention to the details they ment it this beautiful home definitely has details.
Very true. Thank you for watching.
Beautiful house with intricate carvings inside and out. Could never replicate today because the craftspeople with the required skills don’t exist. Protect these structures
Glad you liked it and thank you for watching.
Very imposing exterior/interior-almost looks overbuilt or extra fortified-evoking a permanence that it would be admired and prevail for centuries! The kind of craftsmenship found here is irreplaceable and is to be marvelled at! Truly a Masterpiece and a showcase of how Homes were built to last forever!If it isn't on a listing of Homes of Historical Signifigance it should be!Breathtakingly Beautiful!
Thank you for your comments and for watching.
Love the house ,Luly Lulay, and O Come Emmanuel
