Hi, my father in law bought Vouzier from Joseph Desloge in 1977 and my husband Rocky grew up there, although they didn't live in the main house. We were married there in 1994. Hal and Carole sold it to Boing after we were married, in 1995. Great job on this presentation. Let me know if you want pictures or any other information on Vouziers. Hal passed away but Carole is alive and well and lives in Paradise Valley, AZ. Vouziers was amazing.
I knew Hal and Carole when I lived at the end of New Halls Ferry. They were very involved and of great help when we all came together to fight a landfill that BFI wanted to put in at the end of the road at Riverview Quarry.
What an amazing final hurrah for the house before it was sold to a corporate entity!! By the way … Do the Ks have any ghost stories? They never told any to us - and NOBODY in our family has ever claimed to have seen/experienced one. But ever since hearing stories after the Augustinians moved it - enquiring minds wanna know 😜! Of course, people didn’t really “talk ghosts” when we were growing up - and especially not “the Old Guard.” Now I’mma have get off my fat ass and invite you for drinks so we can kibbitz about it 😂 (if you even see this comment 😉)
Was lucky to visit this estate while the family still owned it, saw the ballroom, The mansion and many other areas on the estate. a beautiful place. Glad at least part of it is still remaining
I love this house!! While the exterior borders on austere the interior is sheer visual delight. its clean, elegant, (even simplistic) design elements, enhance rather than overwhelm each room. (I would have liked to have seen some of the bedrooms.) Im so glad this home survives and remains useful and enjoyed. Thanks Ken! Wonderful!
Thank you so much for introducing this magnificent example of 19th century architecture. As a 73 yr old woman who is ardently interested in architecture, especially that of the grand homes of the World’s elite, the amount of intricate detail amazes me. Can you imagine the hoards of artisans who diligently carved, plastered, iron worked, designed and brought to life the fantastic silk wallpapers, and so many more brilliant people, who presented this home to its owners. There are not enough ways to say thank you for all the information you’ve shared. I regard myself as your biggest fan! (outside of family, friends, of course).
This is just north of where I grew up and so interesting to know about our state’s history and economy. I enjoyed learning about this so very much! Thank you! ❤
I know this family and was shown a letter from a bottle that washed up on their property. It said something like, "My wife is sick, please help." JlMr. Desloge sent his hired man upstream to try and find whoever wrote the letter. When they couldn't find the letter's author, they decided to build a hospital. I met Joseph Desloge Jr. waiting in line at our local post office. When the clerk at the post office said his name, I said "Desloge, let me shake your hand", he said "why?" I said; "your family donated Johnson Shut-Inns State Park, and it's my favorite place in the state. I always wanted to meet one of you, so I could say thanks." They are very generous people. I have spent a lot of time with them. Fun facts, the stones to build the home were all imported from France. The home was named for a town in France where Joseph Desloge Sr. was awarded a medal for manning an artillery piece and saving the town. The property where the lead was discovered was won in a poker game.
You are absolutely correct, Ken. I never heard of this specific Desloge family. I have been in Florissant. The largest municipality of St. Louis County, which I thought was their claim to fame. I've probably seen that mansion from outside but did not pay attention. Very nice. Thanks for your report.
I grew up a couple of miles from this estate. In the late 70s -early 80s it was owned by a family in the paper industry. I believe my sister baby sat there once and the neighbor girls down the street baby sat regularly. Sat at the intersection of New Halls Ferry and Old Jamestown roads and you really couldn't tell what was back there.
I like EVERY room in these old mansions. The BEST part is that it is still standing. Way too many of them have been demolished, and usually for no good reason!
there is a very good reason to tear them down. These houses cost a fortune to maintain and over the years the heirs can't afford the upkeep and the houses slowly turn to ruin. The land however is very valuable and is divided up and sold. As always the answer is Follow the Money.
I worked there when it was the Boeing Leadership Center. It was a nice house and was restored by Boeing. I worked as a Security Officer and closed and locked the house up at night - never saw a ghost but did see a big snake in the basement. Fantastic property now it is owned by a Catholic School.
I really appreciate your work on these houses. You make it very interesting! My husband and I began watching you when I was bedridden for a time. You really helped me pass the time. We watch on TV so no way to comment or like. Thankyou.
Saint Louis University hospital used to be called Firmin - Desloge Hospital. They changed the name in the eighties. This should be a caution to all of those who donate hospitals to be built in their name, or donate to universities. Sooner or later they will drop your name. You'll be lucky if they even leave your portrait up. That being said, it is one of the finest hospitals in the midwest, and their trauma services are second to none.
@@adamfrbs9259 That's a bit further north, and I'm not sure how it rates as a trauma center, but I didn't say it was the "best", I said "one of the finest". read my post again.
@gayprepperz6862 a question mark means a question, read my post again and settle down. I'm only alive because of Mayo Rochester after a split pancreas and ruptured spleen for 3 days. Seems good to me, but i didn't have options, there or dead.
St. Louis is, in my estimation, the best major city in the country to get a deal on an urban turn of the Twentieth Century aristocratic house at a relatively reasonable price. The neighborhood just north of Forrest Park usually has a few very large, old houses for sale in the 1-3 million dollar range. That kind of money will only get your a two bedroom apartment in New York in a fancy 'hood.
Each time I watch one of your videos, I find myself tensing up in suspense a bit for the end, where we find out if the houses are still standing or not. Happily relieved this time. Lol. Thank you for your awesome videos! These old mansions are amazing.
Beautiful. Love the interiors. Grand, but also well proportioned. Also like the comparatively austere exterior. The symmety. Love a faux chataeux. This one might be my new favourite on this channel. Thanks Ken.
Both my grandma & grandpa worked for Desloge and so did my mom. My grandma was their housekeeper and my grandpa took care of his horses. They stayed right down the road in the white block house.my mom helped cooked the meals.
Another great video and yes I did not know or had ever heard of this family. It was nice to see that they were able to keep a somewhat private life. I have a girlfriend who just retired from Boeing in Winnipeg as a plant plane examiner. She was one of two women who trained back in the early eighties. Thanks for the video Ken
Love the enchantment of the vault opening and allot of humans thinking that the Vanderbilts were the richest. They were probably so humble and statuesque that they dint have room to take part of major social crowds.
This was very interesting as I used to go to teen town dances in the town of Desloge. I had not heard of the Desloge family and their history before now. I grew up on a farm about 10 miles south of Farmington, MO and was born at the Bonne Terre Hospital. I'm assuming that the Desloge famliy mining businesses eventually be came part of the St. Joseph Mining Company which had mining operations throughout that leadbelt area
Ken, you've got to check out Edward Fisher mansion at 892 I'm Boston Blvd in Detroit. It was built in 1924(?) and has to be one of, if not THE most exquisitely detailed home in the United States. It's currently for sale for $2.2 million. The listing has many photos.....if you've not seen the home, prepare to have your mind blown. Each room is more lavish than the last....the materials were the finest obtainable, as were the unbelievable level of craftsmanship and most exquisite, elegant design. The ceilings are the finest I have ever seen in a domestic residence. The use of polished solid bronze, fine onyx, rare exotic woods are beyond the realm of even the costliest commercial and ecclisiastical architecture and design contemporary to the home's era. The home has be impeccably maintained with a very rare attention paid to impeccable preservation and imperceptible restoration where necessary. Prepare to be overwhelmed.
I thought this particularly interesting. I was born in Firmin Desloges Hospital before it became University Hospital. I had no idea of the family history. When I was younger I thought firmin had something to do with being infirm and the hospital mean a lodge for the infirm. Only learned recently that Firmin Desloges was the person who built it.
Absolutely beautiful inside. But I thought the outside at that time looked rather blah and simple, for example, at 3:19. I'm glad in years' time, this was resolved. ❤️
Have to imagine family is part of the old bygone era of the Firmin Desloge Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri, which also had an underground tunnel connecting it to the school.
Never ever heard of the Desloges! Vouziers could have been Oheka's beautifully designed baby. Who was the architect? The outbuildings are gorgeous as well. The family needed to buy a few more feet of books to fill the library properly. The museum style furnishings were a little passe by 1926 - the only indication this house was in the hinterland.
Hey Ken , who is the elderly lady with glasses transposed in the photo of the stairs at 3:51? Her image is sideways and repeats, very eerie as if she watches over the mansion. I love your channel and look forward to every post.
I see it! It took a while, but I finally saw it and then the second image as well. It`s kinda spooky. It`s right on the double doors on the left and again over the single door. Good spotting.
I see what I also thought was a lady. I was sure of it. Now, after looking at it for awhile, I think it's an optical illusion of shadows. I *can* unsee it.
Damns I dun lives here in "Hoosier Land" (not to be confused with Indiana, which only has Eli Lilly) Ah, the old landed Aristocracy The Desloges center is part of St.Lukes campus here in Chesterfield. Upkeep of these estates is very expensive here and in the UK as well as other countries
4:40 who the hell would build those hideous eye soars off to the back left on a property that had such spectacular architectural works of art as their original canvas??
The main house resembles the Herbert V. Book Estate that was in the Windmill Pointe area of Grosse Pointe Park. The Book estate was bought by Charles Helin for 40K in the 1940s. Helin was an inventor and the house burned in 1978 while Helin was in China.

@ThisHouse - _Never_ heard of this family... As in _NEVER!_ The exterior of the mansion or chateau if you will, is somewhat bland (compared to e.g. the many mansions of the Vanderbilt's), and it belies the beautiful interior. As with so many of these opulent homes, it's difficult to choose just one room as a favourite... Although the family sold it to Boeing and it has since been remodelled and altered which is a shame, at least it hasn't been razed...
I grew up a stone’s throw from Florissant, MO and I’ve never heard of this mansion! But wasn’t there a hospital named after Firman Desloge in St Louis? Or am I trippin’? 😊
Yes it's on Grand right next to Cardinal Glennon kids hospital it's the big building with the greenish blue roof in the 80s they changed the name to St Louis University Hospital and now it's empty because they built a new one next to it and are building a new Cardinal Glennon kids hospital next to it. I'm sure in the next couple of years the old hospital buildings will be torn down
It’s always amazing to me when I hear of one of these homes go under or change hands out of the original family. Just too many descendants without wealth skills I guess. It’s always sad to see.

Was your father in law in the paper business?
What an amazing final hurrah for the house before it was sold to a corporate entity!!
By the way … Do the Ks have any ghost stories? They never told any to us - and NOBODY in our family has ever claimed to have seen/experienced one. But ever since hearing stories after the Augustinians moved it - enquiring minds wanna know 😜! Of course, people didn’t really “talk ghosts” when we were growing up - and especially not “the Old Guard.”
Now I’mma have get off my fat ass and invite you for drinks so we can kibbitz about it 😂 (if you even see this comment 😉)
interesting...thank you!
Thank you for sharing, wonder if there are any books detailing the legacy of this family? Anyone, thank you.
Was lucky to visit this estate while the family still owned it, saw the ballroom, The mansion and many other areas on the estate. a beautiful place. Glad at least part of it is still remaining
Beautiful estate. The staircase was especially beautiful.
I love this house!! While the exterior borders on austere the interior is sheer visual delight. its clean, elegant, (even simplistic) design elements, enhance rather than overwhelm each room. (I would have liked to have seen some of the bedrooms.) Im so glad this home survives and remains useful and enjoyed. Thanks Ken! Wonderful!
What a fantastic place. Glad it still exists.
I'm pleased that it is being used and appreciated today!

As a 73 yr old woman who is ardently interested in architecture, especially that of the grand homes of the World’s elite, the amount of intricate detail amazes me.

lOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THE mansion and the estate!!! absolutely gorgeous and breathtaking architecture,woodwork,and interior design!!!
Such a beautiful and elegant house. I have never heard of them! Love learning something new.
I have been in this mansion and the ballroom several times. it's beyond awesome!
It is nice to experience a gilded mansion not from NYC or RI but from St. Louis where I live.
Same!
Same!!❤❤❤
@@angiemehrtens1320 All of you live in St. Louis?
@@caroleckstein3541 I live actually more towards Desloge. But it is all stuff from the mining where I am from. Lol
Take a walk or bike ride through the old-world mansions just off Lindell Blvd. @ Kingshighway, near Forest Park.
Good to heR that it has been saved. I hope it hasn't been altered too much. Thank you so much for sharing.
I worked there when it was the Boeing Leadership Center. It was a nice house and was restored by Boeing. I worked as a Security Officer and closed and locked the house up at night - never saw a ghost but did see a big snake in the basement. Fantastic property now it is owned by a Catholic School.
So, the Vatican owns it now. They own a shocking amount of properties worldwide.

Better than Mayo in Rochester MN?

So cool that this exists in my home town.
I grew up right by the mansion. You could only see bits of it from the gated drive entry but was super cool.
Very nice Ken! Very lucky family dog too!

You’re right, there is no shortage of amazing historic houses in STL. Some that need a little work selling for under $100k
I bought one 7 years ago! Yes, STL has many great inexpensive mansions for sure
@@cathcolwell2197not too bad, it does get cold but not terrible
Thanks Ken. I’m so happy you’re so knowledgeable about architecture. Another RUclipsr tries to do this and is a total failure. Your great.

Ah, last of the Boomers/first of GenX are retiring now.
Beautiful detail in every room of Vouziers! A pleasure to see, although I was hoping for a view of the underground tunnel.
Boeing destroyed it.
Love the enchantment of the vault opening and allot of humans thinking that the Vanderbilts were the richest. They were probably so humble and statuesque that they dint have room to take part of major social crowds.
Longtime StL gossip columnist Jerry Berger had Anne Desloge Bates on speed dial for any "sassiety" news.

Funnnily enough, my favorite detail is the painted dogwood branches over the Palladian window in the hallway. It caught my eye immediately.
This family definitely qualifies as "old money." They are still around, still have money, and keep a generally low profile.
My husband was in charge of the renovation when it became the corporate learning center. Many Ghost stories, from inside the ballroom and tunnel.
I wanna hear the ghost stories!!

There is a town south of St. Louis named Desloge! In the old Lead Belt I believe.
Absolutely beautiful inside. But I thought the outside at that time looked rather blah and simple, for example, at 3:19. I'm glad in years' time, this was resolved. ❤️
Would really like to see what you can come up with on the Busch family house in Grant's Farm
Hopefully this video will get a deluge of thumbs ups.

We weren’t 😉.

I’m surprised at how minimalist the house was decorated for the time.
I remember seeing this in a book
There was a hospital in St Louis called Firmin Desloge.
0:06 “Real wealth _whispers_ “
Nice informative it’s too bad there aren’t extant photos of upstairs and the service areas
The Vanderbilts fortune was peaked at 185 million, and at that time the Desloge fortune was 50 million?
By the 1920s, the Vanderbilt fortune was only about 1/3 of what it was at its height.
Fantastic Presentation. Would be much easier to understand and absorb if the narration didn't feel like a race to the finish line.
Never should have been altered. Leave it to corporate who-ha's to just do as they please, like usual.
My great grandmother growed up the home.
4:40 who the hell would build those hideous eye soars off to the back left on a property that had such spectacular architectural works of art as their original canvas??
Modest by the standards of the other "wealthiest" in the country.
my favorite comfortable looking room was the salon/living room. Q: the style of the house appears to be Country French, which I love. Is that correct?
The main house resembles the Herbert V. Book Estate that was in the Windmill Pointe area of Grosse Pointe Park. The Book estate was bought by Charles Helin for 40K in the 1940s. Helin was an inventor and the house burned in 1978 while Helin was in China.
Also, there was no tunnel from the house to the ballroom. That has always been a misconception.
Truth. There was a tunnel. It just led from the passenger drop off to the ballroom. Maybe 50yards long. Maybe.
Without showing every room, I couldnt say.
I think about the children. Never having the opportunity to truly be free to even make a mud pie per se and just be a kid to experience it.
No thank you. Far too structured for me!
This was back when St. Louis mattered.

Yes it's on Grand right next to Cardinal Glennon kids hospital it's the big building with the greenish blue roof in the 80s they changed the name to St Louis University Hospital and now it's empty because they built a new one next to it and are building a new Cardinal Glennon kids hospital next to it.

All stolen wealth, that will be given back to this land's rightful owners...
I live right by Desloge missouri
It’s always amazing to me when I hear of one of these homes go under or change hands out of the original family. Just too many descendants without wealth skills I guess. It’s always sad to see.
Gosh can you talk ant faster???? Slow down.
The audio's too fast. Couldn't be bothered.
You can slow down or speed up the playback on RUclips by clicking on the cogwheel and selecting the playback speed you want - I do it all the time.
@hollye549 OK! Thanks 🙂
Did they use lead-based paint???
Are these people related to the Payseurs?
I’m a descendant of Michel Crepin Desloges.
