    I could see me in one house with 35 cats and 10 dogs with rescue ducks in the pool. My best friend in the other with just as many animals. I❤ these homes. I❤ Restoration Nation because you both have soul.

    I lived in Grand Rapids MI, and there is a side by side duplex that was built in the late 1800's, on Lafayette St, for two sister's who never married, by their father. Each side was about the size of these homes, and it's brick. The duplex is in a historical area of the city, called Heritage Hill. It was restored decades ago, is a beautiful home(s), and is being maintained well, the last time I saw it a few years ago. There are also two Frank Lloyd Wright houses in that area. I was at the Meyer May house, on Madison Ave, in the early 70's, when it was apartments, and was happy to see it again, on the Heritage Hill Tour, after Steelcase bought and restored it, in the 80's. I just love old homes.

      We had a local man who built houses for his daughters. They were built sight of each other and remain. The man was a governor of our state. His home is a combination private residence and funeral home. The home of one his daughters was bought by a local consortium to stabilize and begin early restoration. They sold it to owner to help finish the restoration. The other daughter's home remains a subdivided apartment building but is being care for.

    I think it's very unseemly to have a bathroom right next to the dining room. I would probably change that back. I am absolutely drooling over that beautiful woodwork and tile. That is a dream to look at. I love the Corinthian columns and the stained glass. These are true beauties❤ The mural is so charming. When I see beautiful old homes like this I Feel a sense of such longing.

      If you needed to use the back parlour as a bedroom for someone who cannot climb stairs, a first floor bathroom would be needed, right there. Or switch and use the parlor as a dining room and the dining room as a bedroom.

    Oh my gosh. To see the state of the second sister is heartbreaking. Thank goodness the first sister has so many of her original features so they have an idea of how #2 should be. The time, effort and money it's going to take to bring #2 back to how she should look is going to be draining. I really hope that there is a visionary out there with the knowledge and patience of a saint to restore these beautiful twins.

    @kennethstuckey7823 Год назад +16

    That first twin house; wow! What a historic jewel, as everything from 1906 is mostly still intact. Restoration of this house would be more productive, exciting, and rewarding because it would be a true historic restoration project inside and out. The second twin house; wow! This house, although totally destroyed, is a historic clean slate. A new owner will have more flexibility to restore the interior any way they want to. However, if it was me, I would insist that its interior replicates the original one, indicative of what was found in the first twin house.
    Both houses together would make a perfect multi-generational arrangement. The parents can reside in the house on the corner (I say this because the corner lot affords unobstructed cross street views and sits next to its twin instead of the unrelated dwelling), and the daughter/son and their spouse and kids can reside in the house next to the other neighbor. This arrangement will also allow for the backyard areas to be reconfigured as common areas for both houses in which the pool can be shared and the remaining areas inclusive of an outdoor kitchen, sitting/lounging areas and quaint landscaped gardens. I really enjoyed this video, Laine! Til the next time.......

    It wasn’t unusual in those days to buy or build children homes when they became adults or got married. When I moved out all I got was a kitchen table and used furniture! LOL (But that was good enough for me!)
    What a gorgeous fireplace in the first sister! I love the antique tile! ❤
    I stayed in a bed and breakfast several years ago and it had vining rose tiles in a brownish gold. One fireplace even had a center tile with a dog’s head and the word “Sensation” inscribed above it and ivy down each side. They were gorgeous.

    Oh my goodness!

It's a nice moment to see the beauty here again.

    @maryappold1023 Год назад +12

    Oh my gosh... What lovely homes! Thank you for continually finding gems like these and giving them a larger (and appreciative) audience. It cheers me your videos are quietly saving homes like these. There's a difference between seeing photos of homes (and their interior structural details) in books, newspapers, and video touring, living in them. Having lived in a house from the 19teens, it's a bit of a challenge to live in something post mid-century. I miss all the details, the in house cross breezes, and the strategical way the house was set into the property landscape for best interior natural light flow.

    You look fantastic in that lacy lavender dress, Laine! Gorgeous color on you. This is a good opportunity for someone, though I'm curious why the second house is missing so many of the best features of the first. Maybe one was a rental, while the other was the owner's home? One benefit of the Neo-Classical Revival home is that you don't need to spend much time selecting exterior paint colors, lol. I find it amusing that the white exteriors were meant to represent Greek/Roman temples and public buildings, we are learning that those original buildings were often painted bright colors we might find garish today. I love those fireplaces tiles, and am sad the ones in the second house are gone. It would be interesting to know a bit more about the history. Thanks for sharing these!

    Love this video. I recognized these twin homes instantly when seeing on RUclips. Thank you for your work and sharing. I haven't lived in Little Rock since 1981. I lived over on S Commerce near this property, in the historic renovated condos called Park Place (across from the Arts Center) before the major fire, now converted back to apartments. My friend Mimi Dorch moved from Park Place and bought one of these twin homes (I think on the right), and I think as a single older lady it was too big of a project for her. Somehow I vaguely remember a railroad man built the two homes for his daughters, but I may be wrong. She had given me a tour and it was magical. I had my eyes on these beautiful twin homes in the wonderful Quapaw district. Mimi had given me a wood hand-carved very ornate wall sconce from the home that she discovered in the attic, that would have matched that wallpaper, and it was an electrified sconce. It was absolutely beautiful but needed some repair, and I still have that beautiful sconce somewhere, that belongs in the home. I am honored to have lived in the area, and know the area's wonderful historic homes. I loved Mimi and all she did in the community, and I hope these homes get renovated and are enjoyed again like they deserve. I would a trade a renovated tour, in trade for the sconce in a second, if I can find it! LOL!

    Funny thing about seeing this video I been thinking long and hard about purchasing these homes for the last few months I think it’s been and finally decided to go view them. They look very nice and very big from the outside. Only thing that’s getting me is the price and the potential rehab cost that would go into these homes. I am thinking about it would take at least another $350-$450k to redo everything plus the landscaping. The back looks perfect for get togethers and has a pool that needs to be redone. The biggest drawback I see is there is no driveway for what I see and will need to park on the street. Only thing about that is you would need to park on the side because the house sit next to a stop sign smh. Hopefully the alley behind it has a parking garage for it. Still thinking long and hard and if it’s still available in May or June I just may take a leap if I can finish getting the funds needed to rehab the home.

If I owned these, the first thing I'd do is remove all the trees/shrubs surrounding the houses before some serious damage is done. Then I'd get rid of those hideous "modern" bathroom fixtures the current owner installed in the bathroom in the first house.

    Looked at the listing before this last owner purchased. The pool was nice, no torn liner and with clean usable water, the interiors, even though needing paint and some TLC were more presentable and somewhat more livable than in the current state. And for a much lower price. So I certainly wouldn't pay more for a more "torn up" version today. I do like the homes and they could be stunning again. Maybe I could talk my long time friend from Memphis (after childhood which was east of Memphis during) into going in on it with me? One home for each of us and share the pool/yard. Just hope Little Rock hasn't gone the way of other areas of AR . Sad.

    That price isn't bad at all. If family could get along, two siblings could go in together and buy it. Each family would have their own house. That would be great to have a shared pool for the families. The price I saw divided by two would only be about $180,000 a piece. Or someone could buy it and use one of the houses for Bed and Breakfast rental. I hope it gets saved.
