Heute entdeckte ich diesen wunderschönen Kanal. Kindheit träume werden wahr. Verwunschönen Schlösser entdecken. Ich kann kaum aufhören zu schauen. Wie schade, daß herrliche Bauwerke, Antiquitäten und kostbare Möbel verrotten. Wie interessant die Geschichten der früheren Bewohner. Herzlichen Dank und Grüße aus Deutschland.
My heart used to ache to see Lynnewood fall into decay. This video has truly brought joy and excitement at the restoration and future for this magnificent estate. Thank You ❣️
The Gilded Age gave us the best example of how to spend money to impress. I have had my antenna on for years to see if this one would be saved for the future generations to enjoy.
Wow ! Congradulations. Lesley so glad you got to be envolved in this restore and that it will be saved. Makes my heart sings. 64 year old upholster here wish I do all the furniture over . Graduate of Art Insitute here, love the architecture of these old buildingds . If I was 30 I'd be offering my services to save the old gal. Live near Pittsburgh ,Pa. So glad one of Pennsylvania's treasures will be saved .
Hey dear Lesley, oh my goodness, I was already awe stricken by your first video with you wearing a historical attire and presenting your fans and viewers this absolutely amazing building. I had the impression you were just showing us your own house, because you were looking like a noble count and casually walking there around as if it was your property, haha...! So lovely and adorable! Moresoever I can hardly wait for you now presenting this magnificient building again with already some restored rooms as seen in your beautifully made trailer. Lesley, my dear bro, you really never fail surprising and amazing me with every new video you are uploading! So see you soon!
It’s thrilling that this piece of Americana is finally getting the attention it so vastly deserves.What this property now needs is money and lots of it. If you can, donate. If you happen to have wealthy friends/family please encourage them to step-up in order to make this transformation/preservation happen!
Thank you for re-visiting Lynnewood Hall and for any part you took in saving it through your original tour years ago!! It is such a magnificent place and I’m very happy to know it will be saved !!
This is fantastic news! I’m so happy Lynnewood Hall is being restored! Wow so far it look’s absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for updating us, can’t wait to see the rest of Lynnewood Hall! 👍❤️🤘
This is a very interesting video. I remember watching your first video of Lynnewood Hall. I’m so excited that this masterpiece will be restored, I’m only sad,at my age of 73, I’ll probably never see the final restoration. Thank you Edward Thome, Nancy Van Seyoc and Peter Oylo for taking the initiative to restore Lynnewood Hall. What a magnificent home and beautiful surroundings. It was very interesting to hear from Peter R. Widener reflecting on his heir’s living in Lynnewood Hall. With all their wealth they were extremely generous and they contributed to worthy causes. Thank you Lesley and Danny for this wonderful presentation. ❤
Yes your right. Leslie is really great at doing his shows. Ive been watching him for about 5 years now. I think his show is one of the best. I really hope the best for him.
Lynnewood Hall is stunning. I can't wait to see how they progress. It makes me so happy that this important historical building will be saved. Thank you so much for sharing.
Such a beautiful house! Thank you so much for this second video. Love the progress that has been made and so happy to hear that it will not only be preserved but also restored. I had a job one summer right out of high school cutting ivy and pachysandra at Lynnwood Hall for a nursery. This was back in the early 80s when it was Faith Theological Seminary. Still beautiful back then although so much was altered. It was already suffering damage back then because they just didn’t have the money for upkeep. Glad to see that all of the detail wasn’t destroyed.
I have always loved old Gilded Age mansions but when i saw your video from 2 years ago i fell in love with Lynnewood Hall. I love how mr.Edward knows all these stories of the family he is a real book of knowlege 🙌. I am so happy that this magnificent mansion will be restored to its original glory ❤. Absolutely deserves it. So many beautiful mansions have been destroyed but Lynnewood Hall stood all this time waiting for mrs.Angie and mr.Edward to set out a Preservation Foundation and begin the restoration. I am sure Peter AB Widener is overlooking everything from above and is happy seeing that his beloved mansion will be restored ❤🙌. Bros of Decay great job 👏🙌🥰
Lesley, this documentary was astounding! I thoroughly enjoyed it and seeing the progress made on the property since your documentary two years ago. I especially liked having one of the descendants giving his viewpoints as well as the interviews with two of the preservation foundation board members. Your passion is evident, and the respect and reverence for all the properties you document are to be commended. Congrats on a job well done! I look forward to seeing another documentary a few years from now on the continued renovations on this historic property.. A dedicated fan!
It’s heartwarming to see the turn around of this grand estate and look forward to seeing how this progresses. The first time I ever heard of Lynnwood Hall I was thumbing through an old copy of Magazine Antiques and there was an auction advertisement for the garden statuary and fountains. I hope you are able to re-acquire more of its treasures. Thank you Leslie for this follow up.
Wow, you did amazing work, I watched the original video on Lynnwood Hall, you helped bring this historic home back to life. You should be proud... Without you, this may not have come to fruition, and this would decay like a lot of what we explore. I love this home, the history, the family and how much they helped society, this is your best presentation on the gilded age of America.
Thank you Lesley and Danny for this documentary about the renovation of Lynnewood Hall. I watched the first video, with fascination, and now I am impressed that you have been apart of open up the eyes for this historical building and the importance to restore and renovate this heritage. Congratulation to a great work!
Well, this wasn`t just a great meal...this was the whole buffet. Holy smokes ! What a documentary ! Two hours and fifteen minutes of pure pleasure. I hope you will do something similar next year, for it will be just as great. Great job.
Very well done, Lesley . I am so glad they are going to save and restore Lynnewood Hall . You certainly look the part today. Thank you for your professional presentations. Hope Danny is doing well.
This documentary sets complete new standards in so many ways: the film making, story telling, in depth knowledge transfer, the public in focus setting of the entire conservation prioject... thank you, thank you for this documentary ❤ This marks a new era... hopefully not just for Lynnewood hall, but also for your yt channel 🙂👏
As someone who's spent almost my entire career caring for & restoring historic house museum gardens, this makes me very, very happy. You should be looking at trying to achieve National Historic Landmark status.
Marvelous! Thank You Lesley for bringing such positive attention to this great historical wonder. I'm so happy it is in safe and very capable hands. Bravo' we see the great importance behind the explorations that you and Danny bring to the table week after week. It soothes more than the curiosity believe me we love your exploration. There is purpose in this work you do. I hope to see attention brought to some of the places in Europe also such beauty there as well being left to languish away so much that should at least be placed into a museum. Well done Bros Of Decay I applaud you!
This was absolutely delightful! I love spending Sunday afternoons with the Bros of Decay. 😊 So happy that this amazing place is getting restored! Looking forward to hopefully more updates on the progress!
This is BRILLIANT, Just love what you have done on the Hall, filming, editing, interviews, the whole film is just so amazing to go around the Hall. Much praise from England
This update makes my heart smile so much to see the renovations continuing. Bringing back to life rooms that were once filled with life, left to decay, and back to life it becomes. ✨ Again, I'm so overjoyed about this update. ❤❤✨ Thank you all so much for sharing all that each of you have with us and making this video available for us to see the updates...Great Job!!! 👏
Thanks to this channel I found out about the existence of this great mansion and now I am very happy that the Foundation bought it and has made so many advances. Congratulations to you and the members of that entity. Bravo!!!!!
Wow Leslie. Fantastic job on this. I have been slowly savoring this video. Mansions like this is why I studied architecture in college. The fact this house is being saved gives me extreme joy. Thank you to those like minded individuals who had the tenacity to form the preservation society. Years ago I could not believe this treasure was left to rot. I applaud all those involved in this labor of love. Their dedication and hard work is admirable. And I am honored to be a very small contributor thru Patreon. Hopefully someday I will be allowed to walk though those front doors. I look forward to it.
And to add, I'm so thrilled to hear and see all this great news about Lynnwood Hall!!. I have followed it and you , Leslie and Dan for years now. Such an awesome and positive outcome and outlook! I'm so thrilled that you guys , through your curiosity have been able to bring light to this whole issue of homes that were once homes. Now , this will be a place for community once again!. This video made me so HAPPY!!!. Luv you guys!!. Thank you again, Leslie and Dan!!!. ⚜️
Danny and Leslie...I am speechless. You have mastered your craft and skills to all new levels. This video proves that. To top that - YOU BOTH MADE A DIFFERENCE AND HELPED SAVE LYNNEWOOD HALL! I am SO impressed and proud of both of you! You both did a spectacular job on this video! One of the best ever! Cheers to you two!
This makes my heart so happy! I remember your first video and how sad it was to see this beautiful piece of history falling apart. Now it’s getting new life and it’s wonderful. I am sure the original owners are looking down so happy for this ❤️
Lynnewood Hall is incredibly beautiful, and this documentary captures that perfectly. Lesley and Danny, your hard work and dedication are truly impressive.Well done! 👏👏
Well lm glad to say this home is comming back. It would be a crime to let this place go to ruin. This is an American castle and should never just go to waist. Its to bad that its in this bad of shape. The antiques that were here must have been really somethig. Im very glad that this wonderful home will be saved. Im going to try to go there and see it for myself. Thanks Leslie for comming back to tell us this great news.
I saw the first BrosOfDecay RUclips video on Lynnewood Hall. At that time, I began to follow the preservation development. When I studied at the University of Oxford, I studied architectural history and preservation. We would examine English country estates and their history. During the first video, it was sad to see its decay, but eventually, following the Foundation website, I was pleased to see its future restoration and historical preservation. As an Oxonian, I am also happy to hear that the Foundation is incorporating students to help in the restoration. Lynnewood Hall is a fantastic opportunity for students to study as apprentices. Thank you for sharing this video. Thank you to the Lynnewood Hall Preservation Foundation for your efforts in preserving its history and story for present and future generations.
Only two mins. in and I have to leave a comment; just wanted to thank you and the people who preserve this beautiful building - you are awesome! The clean up already looks stunning!
Wow! Thank you Lesley and Danny for your part in helping bring attention to this amazing place and project! So happy it’s getting the attention it deserves! Love every exploration!
I am so glad to see that this property is in safe hands and the family still is involved in its restoration. Thank you so much for this wonderful documentary!
I'm so glad that Lynnwood Hall and its property are going to be restored. To me, this right here is proof that the urban explorers who tour abandoned properties can and do cause an impact to preserve the past. Lynnwood Hall has haunted me since i first saw it in another video. Please keep up the good work.
I am so happy they are going to restore Lynnewood Hall! It is such a beautiful building! I saw the first video when it was first posted, and was hoping it would be saved.
Lesley you are an incredible documentarian! This documentary on the Lynnwood Hall is beautiful!!! 💚 Thank you Lesley for your love and passion for these beautiful places you document.
This building is absolutely beautiful. I live only ten minutes from it and I pass it all the time. I'm so excited it's being rehabbed for all to see soon
I just recently discovered your videos. I love how you respect the abandoned homes. It makes me so sad because I have a passion to restore abandoned homes, but I have no money to do so. It breaks my heart to see such wonder places crumble and vandalized. Keep up the awesome work bringing these historic homes a flicker of hope.
This is so GREAT!!! I never understood why it was not restored. A college or made into a Private Institution of learning of some type, or even hotel, but to let it just decay-turn to ruins never is understandable. The first time it was built with love, and it is being restored with care and love again. Wonderful
This is absolutely fantastic. The foundation certainly has a big job on their hands but they are the best crew to do it. The pure love they have for the place is overwhelming. I think the original family would love the idea of the building being used for education.
Woohoo!!! I'm SOOO excited that you're doing this video!!!. Just started watching.... Beyond excited to watch this ..... (Edit: Grabbed my popcorn and ate 2 bags !! while eagerly watching. Luvd every second!). It moves me to teary eyes because the whole reason Mr Widener built this was FOR family- and community. And that's exactly what its going to be for once again. Nice!!!. Thank you for the update!!. ⚜️
When I first saw this place on the market several years ago, I thought that it was the epitome of my dream home (minus the state of decay). The architecture was and is breathtaking! So happy it is being restored, wish i could be a part of it!
Cảm ơn hai bạn Danny và Lesley thật nhiều. Hai bạn rất giỏi qua những bài thuyết minh và quay film và can đảm nữa. Năm trước, tôi đã từng theo bước chân của hai bạn hồi hộp, lo lắng vào thăm những ngôi nhà cũ nát, hoang tàn, ghê sợ và lòng rưng rưng nghĩ về chủ nhân, gia đình, dấu ấn của ngôi nhà theo thời gian. Nhưng lần này, tôi quá đỗi ngạc nhiên và cảm thấy hạnh phúc tột cùng được các bạn cho xem video hoàn toàn khác biệt - một Dinh thự LYNNEWOOD HALL đă được trùng tu để thế hệ sau được chiêm ngắm, tự hào... Vô cùng hạnh phúc!
I can't tell you my joy that this fabulous place will be saved!! Hurrah for you, Lesley, for instigating a rush of funds to allow the purchase of this building. I was concerned about the organ, but surely the conservationists know to store those old lead pipes upright, as they will collapse under their own weight. Some of the pipes are brass, tho....those must be the ones laying down. The Petherick's in France recently completely restored an antique organ...so it can be done...tho this one is in really bad shape. Just a fabulous tour... thank you! It already looks so much better. Hopefully, they are saving everything. The conservationist at the Chateau de Purnon said " Don't throw anything away, as it could be significant. She's been asleep for a long time, we must awaken her slowly."
Tears of Joy that this beautiful property is finally being loved and rescued. But also Tears of Sorrow over the condition of the property... disrespected by previous owners, urban explorers, and vandals. This property has great potential as a wedding venue once enough of it is restored. 😅😢
The Elkins Mansion/Manor just across the street (Leslie references this point while down at the front gate) from Lynnwood Hall actually IS an event venue. It's another massive mansion with a voluminous great hall as it's entryway. It's fantastic !!. You can look it up here in RUclips!. Trust me, I have many times! Lol. Many different channels have featured it. Just thought you'd like to know!. 👍⚜️
This has been an amazing experience and adventure for me. It’s truly amazing how much work has been done in two years! Thank you for bringing this to the screen and contributing to the beginnings of the foundation. ❤️🇦🇺🇧🇪
Love this house it's has been my screen saver for years. I shall be visiting the preservation Foundation. So glad it never became a McDonalds or Wal Mart. I would sonar every wall and floorboard while renovating. There has to be some tucked away items somewhere. Never seen the original gardens. Amazing!
Obviously this worthy project will take many years and significant funding to achieve the final objectives and I like thousands of others will watch with great fervor. I hope more attention will be directed toward the rehabilitation of the chiefs residence because it could be used to generate income as a B & B cottage. It could be used as a guesthouse for visitors that could be solicited for additional contributions toward restoration. It could be used for enticing academics for brief visits or craftsmen helping with the highly needed skills. This is a wonderful contribution to this country’s heritage and deserves our passion and earnestness.
Lesley! I am so proud of you and Danny in this plight to save and restore monumental buildings! You help to reveal historical gems around the world that suffered decay due to neglect and abandonment! ! admire you greatly, particularly in the descriptive and emotive way you present the tale of each house you discover. Your narration animates the forgotten homes of yesterday! Good Luck! Jack would be extremely proud of you!
Hi Lesley & Danny.... 😊Thank You Very Much for Showing the Updated Lynnewood Hall in Philadelphia, USA!! 2 Years Later Improved & Restored...Great Improvements!! It will be Marvelous When the Rooms & the Gardens are Finished!! Very Interesting Video, Lesley & Danny!! Sad though that Not All Original Furniture in the Libraries & No Billiard Room of Pool Tables! Awesome Secret Bathroom Found!! Wow, 18,000 Square Feet House for the Son & Wife!! Wow again 18, 000 House & Lynne Hall Mansion is 110, 000 Square Feet!! The Statue`s & Garden Outside Were Gorgeous Before & Hopefully They Will Bring All of it Back!! Take care & Both have a Safe Drive to Your Next Journey!!💖Both have a Wonderful Evening!!❤ Love Barb from Central Illinois ❣ ( I will Share it to my Facebook page)
Very excited to see this video I watched the first one you did and Ioved it. Your outfit you wore fit right in with the mansion I'm excited to see the update.
after years of driving pass this building and marveling at its beauty, I am glad to see that it is being restored. Hope I can get a look for myself one day.
Leslie and Danny you outdid yourself. This was incredible and the story behind this documentary is so interesting an to add a Family member to the documentary was a finishing touch .THANK YOU for another great video ❤
Hello Danny and Leslie. I did watch the first video of Lenwood Hall. Was good to hear that they are doing good work on this project. Thanks for sharing this with us and for the opportunity to learn about this amazing place.❤❤
this is an amazing video and it should be part of the archives of the house restoration. We always see the before and after. We rarely see the in between.
We have to make a correction on 3 members names we incorrectly spelled and we are terribly sorry!! Angie Van Scoyc, Peter Oyloe and Tyler Schumacher

Heute entdeckte ich diesen wunderschönen Kanal. Kindheit träume werden wahr. Verwunschönen Schlösser entdecken. Ich kann kaum aufhören zu schauen. Wie schade, daß herrliche Bauwerke, Antiquitäten und kostbare Möbel verrotten. Wie interessant die Geschichten der früheren Bewohner. Herzlichen Dank und Grüße aus Deutschland.
Danny wrote, produced, filmed, and edited!! Lesley is a natural in front of the camera. These two gentlemen deserve Hollywood recognition.
My heart used to ache to see Lynnewood fall into decay. This video has truly brought joy and excitement at the restoration and future for this magnificent estate. Thank You ❣️
Mine too. I hated seeing it in the bad condition it was in. I'm so enthralled by this beautiful hine
Two years ago I discovered your channel via the original tour of this mansion. Can't wait for this follow up.
Me, too! 😄
Me too, that is exactly how I found B.O.D.
Oh definitely myself am hooked
The Gilded Age gave us the best example of how to spend money to impress.
I have had my antenna on for years to see if this one would be saved for the future generations to enjoy.
Wow ! Congradulations. Lesley so glad you got to be envolved in this restore and that it will be saved. Makes my heart sings. 64 year old upholster here wish I do all the furniture over . Graduate of Art Insitute here, love the architecture of these old buildingds . If I was 30 I'd be offering my services to save the old gal. Live near Pittsburgh ,Pa. So glad one of Pennsylvania's treasures will be saved .

This has been better than many shows on the History Channel. Well done! and thank you
Yes your right. Leslie is really great at doing his shows. Ive been watching him for about 5 years now. I think his show is one of the best. I really hope the best for him.
Ditto!!. I wholeheartedly agree!!.
Lynnewood Hall is stunning. I can't wait to see how they progress. It makes me so happy that this important historical building will be saved. Thank you so much for sharing.
Such a beautiful house! Thank you so much for this second video. Love the progress that has been made and so happy to hear that it will not only be preserved but also restored.

See, this is how things need to happen!
As someone who's spent almost my entire career caring for & restoring historic house museum gardens, this makes me very, very happy. You should be looking at trying to achieve National Historic Landmark status.
They are working on it 👍
This is a true documentary! Very well done.
I'm excited to see the update. Hopefully there will be the same update for Belton Court someday.
Yes, one can hope.
Thank you to all involved. Such great history that needs to be saved!
Marvelous! Thank You Lesley for bringing such positive attention to this great historical wonder. I'm so happy it is in safe and very capable hands. Bravo' we see the great importance behind the explorations that you and Danny bring to the table week after week. It soothes more than the curiosity believe me we love your exploration.

I hope to see attention brought to some of the places in Europe also such beauty there as well being left to languish away so much that should at least be placed into a museum. Well done Bros Of Decay I applaud you!
This was absolutely delightful! I love spending Sunday afternoons with the Bros of Decay. 😊 So happy that this amazing place is getting restored! Looking forward to hopefully more updates on the progress!

I love that they will use the restoring as Education.

This is the Best mansion you have ever showed im so glad they are taking care of it ❤❤
This building is absolutely beautiful. I live only ten minutes from it and I pass it all the time. I'm so excited it's being rehabbed for all to see soon
I just recently discovered your videos. I love how you respect the abandoned homes. It makes me so sad because I have a passion to restore abandoned homes, but I have no money to do so. It breaks my heart to see such wonder places crumble and vandalized. Keep up the awesome work bringing these historic homes a flicker of hope.
This is so GREAT!!! I never understood why it was not restored. A college or made into a Private Institution of learning of some type, or even hotel, but to let it just decay-turn to ruins never is understandable. The first time it was built with love, and it is being restored with care and love again. Wonderful
This is absolutely fantastic. The foundation certainly has a big job on their hands but they are the best crew to do it. The pure love they have for the place is overwhelming. I think the original family would love the idea of the building being used for education.
Thank you for saving Lynnewood Hall! Well done! Congratulations! Culture and History should be protected for all prosterity.
What a joy to see this beautiful estate being restored. Well done Leslie and Danny!
Woohoo!!! I'm SOOO excited that you're doing this video!!!. Just started watching.... Beyond excited to watch this .....
(Edit: Grabbed my popcorn and ate 2 bags !! while eagerly watching. Luvd every second!). It moves me to teary eyes because the whole reason Mr Widener built this was FOR family- and community. And that's exactly what its going to be for once again. Nice!!!. Thank you for the update!!. ⚜️
When I first saw this place on the market several years ago, I thought that it was the epitome of my dream home (minus the state of decay). The architecture was and is breathtaking! So happy it is being restored, wish i could be a part of it!
Cảm ơn hai bạn Danny và Lesley thật nhiều. Hai bạn rất giỏi qua những bài thuyết minh và quay film và can đảm nữa.
Năm trước, tôi đã từng theo bước chân của hai bạn hồi hộp, lo lắng vào thăm những ngôi nhà cũ nát, hoang tàn, ghê sợ và lòng rưng rưng nghĩ về chủ nhân, gia đình, dấu ấn của ngôi nhà theo thời gian.
Nhưng lần này, tôi quá đỗi ngạc nhiên và cảm thấy hạnh phúc tột cùng được các bạn cho xem video hoàn toàn khác biệt - một Dinh thự LYNNEWOOD HALL đă được trùng tu để thế hệ sau được chiêm ngắm, tự hào... Vô cùng hạnh phúc!
SO GLAD SOMEONE HAD THE FORESITE/VISION TO RESTORE THIS FINE HOME!
I can't tell you my joy that this fabulous place will be saved!! Hurrah for you, Lesley, for instigating a rush of funds to allow the purchase of this building.
I was concerned about the organ, but surely the conservationists know to store those old lead pipes upright, as they will collapse under their own weight. Some of the pipes are brass, tho....those must be the ones laying down. The Petherick's in France recently completely restored an antique organ...so it can be done...tho this one is in really bad shape.
Just a fabulous tour... thank you! It already looks so much better.
Hopefully, they are saving everything. The conservationist at the Chateau de Purnon said " Don't throw anything away, as it could be significant. She's been asleep for a long time, we must awaken her slowly."
Funny!. Im subbed to the Chateau de Purnon too!!. Cheers!. 🥂⚜️
Tears of Joy that this beautiful property is finally being loved and rescued. But also Tears of Sorrow over the condition of the property... disrespected by previous owners, urban explorers, and vandals. This property has great potential as a wedding venue once enough of it is restored. 😅😢
The Elkins Mansion/Manor just across the street (Leslie references this point while down at the front gate) from Lynnwood Hall actually IS an event venue. It's another massive mansion with a voluminous great hall as it's entryway. It's fantastic !!. You can look it up here in RUclips!. Trust me, I have many times! Lol. Many different channels have featured it. Just thought you'd like to know!. 👍⚜️
Absolutely fantastic job on this. So happy they are preserving American history. ❤
This has been an amazing experience and adventure for me. It’s truly amazing how much work has been done in two years! Thank you for bringing this to the screen and contributing to the beginnings of the foundation. ❤️🇦🇺🇧🇪
Hope Lynnewood Hall is RESTORED SOON to its former Glory! - with the earnest efforts of all those great individuals around
Love this house it's has been my screen saver for years. I shall be visiting the preservation Foundation. So glad it never became a McDonalds or Wal Mart. I would sonar every wall and floorboard while renovating. There has to be some tucked away items somewhere. Never seen the original gardens. Amazing!
Thanks to you Lesley. Well done.
Hi Lesley, this has been the most comprehensive video I’ve seen on Lynnwood Hall.
You have really outdone yourself bravo.
I was in awe with your first video Lynnewood Hall, and I am more in awe with this video. 💖
Obviously this worthy project will take many years and significant funding to achieve the final objectives and I like thousands of others will watch with great fervor. I hope more attention will be directed toward the rehabilitation of the chiefs residence because it could be used to generate income as a B & B cottage. It could be used as a guesthouse for visitors that could be solicited for additional contributions toward restoration. It could be used for enticing academics for brief visits or craftsmen helping with the highly needed skills. This is a wonderful contribution to this country’s heritage and deserves our passion and earnestness.
I finish watching!! Stonning. Wonderful work fellows. And congratulations also to the foundation. Work of art. Hugs from Brasil
Lesley! I am so proud of you and Danny in this plight to save and restore monumental buildings! You help to reveal historical gems around the world that suffered decay due to neglect and abandonment! ! admire you greatly, particularly in the descriptive and emotive way you present the tale of each house you discover. Your narration animates the forgotten homes of yesterday! Good Luck! Jack would be extremely proud of you!
That is great to see this magnificent mansion being saved!
I'm not crying you're crying, this makes my heart Happy ❤❤❤❤❤

Saludos desde Venezuela. Te felicito de enseñarnos la recuperacion de una cultura Américana . Que belleza
The Greal Hall is the perfect setting for a fashion how!
So glad they are restoring this splendid house! So many have been demolished and turned into parking lots, alas.
Leslie and Danny you outdid yourself. This was incredible and the story behind this documentary is so interesting an to add a Family member to the documentary was a finishing touch .THANK YOU for another great video ❤
Hello Danny and Leslie. I did watch the first video of Lenwood Hall. Was good to hear that they are doing good work on this project. Thanks for sharing this with us and for the opportunity to learn about this amazing place.❤❤
Yay didn't know if Danny was filming or not. He does such a good job. Thank you Danny.
Im afraid we are losing Craftsman. Love to see you incorporating education. We desperately need it. Thank you.
Ed Angie TYler MR W. Bravo i love this I am so happy you got this made ...more please more please ...kind regards William
Yeah! I can't believe someone will Preserve this wonderful Estate.
this is an amazing video and it should be part of the archives of the house restoration. We always see the before and after. We rarely see the in between.
I have been waiting for weeks for this episode and it’s truly amazing to see what they have already done and hope you’ll visit again over two years 🤩😁
