Being public figures can be very difficult. I just want you to know that thousands of us appreciate what you are doing, what you have done to improve America, what you are doing to consolidate properties that would otherwise fall into decay and dismemberment. No one asked you to do any of it: so many of us are thankful that you ARE doing it! So don't let this or that setback get in your way. KNOW THIS: thousands stand by your side and there is always crowdfunding if you need a boost. All the best, in gratitude, from NY.
Wow. I had no idea there had been a fire. When I lived in Natchez, I was a bartender there, it was a really popular club. If the raucous crowd and loud band got to you in the basement, you could go up to the 3rd floor where there was a much more refined lounge with a bar in the ballroom. Thanks for posting these historic tours of Natchez, I like being able to keep up with what's going on in Natchez.
Terrific place! The brick arches in the basement are beautiful, as are the art glass windows in the ballroom. The colors are very 1905. I hope the new owner and Historical Society will help each other to restore this gorgeous building.
Laine and Kevin - I would love for you all to create a training organization to teach people how to do restoration and use all these beautiful buildings in Natchez to teach.
A great start as it appears to have updated electrical and electrical box? Because it was a restaurant there must be at least some updated plumbing and likely connected to city sewer lines vs septic tank. Outside and roof protection has truly saved this building.
Thank you Laine & Keviv, for your channel. I certainly wish that I could afford this property, but I know that the $80,000 asking price, is only the beginning, and selling my place for about $450,000, then paying off a &134,000 mortgage, would fall short of the needed funds, to buy & restore this beautiful place. But I can dream. Thank you again for your channel.
Good morning! I’ll be first to like! So they are selling it, but wanting to control how its rehabilitation goes? That could get costly. Beautiful building with so much potential.
Not true. The National Register of HP has literally no control over what a Homeowner can or cannot do to their property, even up to demolition. This property was donated to the HNF, and is part of a national historic district, and so therefore there are controls over what can and can’t be done. But again, a NRHP property has no restrictions.
@@debbylou5729think you are missing the point. As mentioned in the video, there are state and Federal tax breaks that are available to help with restoration costs. I assume you don't live in a condo or community that CAN tell you what is acceptable to do with your property. And the condo, townhouse or commununity association can force you to comply with their rules. This does not seem sit well with you, but nobody is asking you to restore this building. Don't worry though, Someon or some group of preservationists will meet the challenge and bring this building back to life.
A baroque palace available for $80,000. It'll likely take AT LEAST $540,000 to restore the facility to habitability, but for those with the patience of Buddha and kilotons of money, it's a golden opportunity!
Would love to see the finished restoration someday...but the sad reality is (at least around my area) many old historic buildings just sit with windows boarded up because the preservation societies and restoration laws get in the way so nobody wants to be bothered with it. Anything from paint color dictation to how you sand the floors. I kid you not, how you sand the floors. There's a city not far from me that you have to HAND SAND the floors, you cannot use any power tools to do that. Now imagine 4,5,6 floors of wooden floors. No one is going to hand sand that much flooring. Rules like that are silly and have no bearing on the final product. A machine sanded floor refinished will still look period and beautiful. It's unfortunate but that's what can happen.
Wow thats the discount price of the roof. Lehr kiln the basement and make traditional tile and stained glass. Fit the kiln with an oven and host functions above.
What an amazing building! I would love to get more information and with 4k/floor this could definitely be 4 luxury apartments/floor with the basement being the play room. The possibilities are endless with this.
There would have to be some strong patron $ support behind that. Sadly there is little to no $ in the arts, especially classical performing arts such as ballet. Professional ballet dancers have trained all their lives and at great expense to attain a highly competitive level, only to earn below poverty wages. They know what they are getting into and go there to fulfill a life dream that can only be realized in youth. The physical demands eventually take their toll and their bodies cannot operate indefinitely under the demanding rigors accompanying by increasing pain. They know they need a plan B when eventually they move past performing. Some stay in ballet but at teaching, direction, choreography, or administrative roles, while others transition to a secondary desired profession. Some bigger more established ballet companies provide college degree opportunities for their ballet dancers to help them prepare for that point. But bottom line, ballet is not self supporting model especially for a business.
Conversely, professional men’s sports, such as football, and popular top hits music (think of big concerts) are where the masses and therefore the money follow. The masses do not care for classical arts, and comparatively, these are not flocking to theatres in the tens of thousands to see ballet. It is sadly the reflection of the state of our society in where we have generally come to today.
The last business I remember was the Cellar bar. It met its demise when a grumpy couple bought the house across the street and had the bar closed because of the noise.
Is the exterior finish of this building cream city brick? It appears to be. I live in Wisconsin and we have many homes and businesses with this exterior.
Architectural student housing, Art student housing, Computer Science student housing, Culinary arts and Hospitality stundent housing, the list goes on. 🤔🤪🤯Nothing like restoring the past while teaching the future! 🗝🌱
ORN, with this house and others is there a time limit on restoration? as in when you buy is there a contractural time period that one has to fulfill requirements to make it to code?
Kaine-I have learned so much from you about the proper names of design and architecture. I would LOVE to learn more. (Total beginner)--are there any basic style/architecture 101 books that you could recommend ?!🙏🏼
I've always wanted Natchez to have a Preservation Technical Training program like SCAD or NSU in Natchitoches where the whole county is the living lab. The Eola would make fabulous dorms 😊
I agree with another commenter about it being an arts space. But I would go a step further and say a performing arts space. That ballroom is begging for dance and theater productions.
It's a beautiful building and $80,000 is nothing when you consider that it would cost you a million dollars easily to built it today. If you put $75,000 into it, the second it was finished you could sell it for $400,000. Not that I would though. It would be a dream home for me.
I’m afraid you’ll need to at a zero and likely more to the rehab cost. But I agree it would be a beautiful project to take on for someone with the time and monetary resources to bring it back
It’s a WONDERFUL town. Draws tourists from around the world, but isn’t “touristy”. Not commercialized. All the restaurants are local. It’s a wonderful place .
Oh it’s so good to know we have a preservation specialist here. Cool. Please tell us more. I mean, an actual preservationist knows you NEVER sandblast and how to remove the smell, but you seem to feel YOU are the expert, so please share more of your amazing knowledge.
Well if you wanted to see a house you are on the wrong video. This is not now nor has it ever been a “house”. We are an EDUCATION channel, and anyone with 1/2 an ounce of actual interest in the property would have wanted the information provided by the two professionals sharing it.
Ladies let's get together and buy it make it a ladies only club have everything we love under one roof beauty massage drinks coffee teas smoke and goofy smoke shall we take our place back to ladies only
This might work! Everyone in the funding ladies’ group shares a portion of the purchasing funds to enjoy and share with clients who would pay for luxuriating pampering services.
wouldn't want to buy something I dont have total control over. These historical engineer types are a pain in the azz to deal with....and its your money..no thanks.
@@OurRestorationNation wrong...My neighbor had a old stone house that dated back to the revolutionary war In Upstate NY. His stone porch was sagging and leaking he wanted to redo it but for its age they spent over 2 yrs dealing with the mindless bureaucracy ..they didn't allow him to alter anything they had to restore it to it original look. He was a illustrator for Marvel comics he wanted to do his illustrations in the screen porch but they wouldn't let him put all types of modern effects into his building.....he eventually gave it up and bought another home outside NY State. I would suggest keeping your mouth shut when you dont have much of a story....it makes you look cranky and foolish.
YOU have no personal experience.. Your ignorance shows in the fact that you created a term that isn’t even a “thing” (historical engineer?!? Literally lol’ing in your face). You have second hand accounts from an acquaintance. You know what I hear in your story? I hear an egomaniac who thought because of his job he had the right to radically alter a building that was here lifetimes before his ownership and will be here for lifetimes after. It’s called arrogance. None of us or our personal preferences are more important than irreplaceable historic material. If you don’t want a historic home and the responsibility that comes with it then don’t buy one. Many MANY people shouldn’t. Sounds like you shouldn’t, your “friend” should not have, and anyone who doesn’t appreciate the importance of our built environment shouldn’t. And one more thing… on MY page regarding MY content, I’ll say whatever the heck I want whenever I want to. You are free to exit the room if you don’t like it.
I've personally met restored historic home owners in Natchez who were definitely in your club and who were friends with other owners! Never let anyone or anything thwart a dream. People will either be on board or won't, but I don't let that stop me from being me. Stay positive! Every city needs diversity.

I remember the Prentiss Club fire. I sure hope this lovely building gets the rehab it deserves!
how is the neighborhood today
Hi Laine and Kevin, even after a fire the beauty still shines through....
What a fantastic building! Hopefully it will be restored to its original state.
I’m so glad that the whole building wasn’t destroyed. Love the interior.
Thank you for sharing.. What a beautiful structure. 12,000 Sq FT ! What a great organization the HNF to step in and rescue the building.
Thank you for juicing up my imagination of what could give this beauty life again ❣
Absolutely beautiful!
I can see ballet students coming up the stairs and into that big space the creativity that could be made for dance up there.
But who will pay for that dream?
It is a beautiful dream, yes.
Gorgeous place, so much potential❤
What a fabulous tour. I like that they are strict with the buyers. Good information on the tax credits. Could be just a stunning place.
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful historical site. It was a beautiful journey walking through 120 years of life.
A great start as it appears to have updated electrical and electrical box? Because it was a restaurant there must be at least some updated plumbing and likely connected to city sewer lines vs septic tank. Outside and roof protection has truly saved this building.
What an amazing building and history.
Good luck with the sale and restore!! Would make a great bed and breakfast if the town needed one
That’s what I think of when one says beautiful! I would love to have a scaled down version.
Love,love,love it. Hope we get to see it at completion, whenever that happens!!!!!!!!!!
The arches 😍
So much potential and such a beautiful exterior! 😍
This is a beautiful building and so much potential. If only I were younger {lol}. great tour.

That basement is amazing.

Any home on the historical registry is required to do just that

That stairway.....gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Stunning place!
the character I love this so much Laine. So much history so much beauty. Up here in Canada they just tear them down.
I hope it continues to be an asset to the community!
Beautiful building. Would love to see it turned into some kind of community center. Maybe when I win the lottery. 😅
It would be wonderful if it could be residential. What a beautiful home it would make.
Looks more Italianate than Beax Arts. What a magnificent structure, either way. The exterior and craftsmanship are utterly fabulous.
A baroque palace available for $80,000. It'll likely take AT LEAST $540,000 to restore the facility to habitability, but for those with the patience of Buddha and kilotons of money, it's a golden opportunity!

What are the floors made of Balsa Wood for them to be sanded hee hee.
True, we have same problems here in Croatia
I dont see the problem with that
What a fantastic opportunity. I wish I could purchase it. I guess that it is gone by now.
Wow thats the discount price of the roof. Lehr kiln the basement and make traditional tile and stained glass. Fit the kiln with an oven and host functions above.
What an amazing building! I would love to get more information and with 4k/floor this could definitely be 4 luxury apartments/floor with the basement being the play room. The possibilities are endless with this.
this is amazing character and beauty
wow so pretty.
We are from Brasil 🇧🇷 Estamos te acompanhando.
Give me 4 million and I'll see you tomorrow what a dream to restore, wow!😁
how about a school for the arts? A Ballet school
That's a brilliant idea. The wood floors and space is perfect.

It can be beautiful home , bad and breakfast,❤❤❤❤❤
Awesome building! Was the second floor so destroyed it all has to be rebuilt....are there fire places...bedrooms?
The building was not built as a club not a house, hence no bedrooms. The 2nd floor was always a ballroom.
Meant to say it was not built as a house but as a club.
Wish I had the cash…… LOVE THIS

You'd have to speak to the Historic Natchez Foundation on your timeline. I do believe it will play a part in their selection.
Kaine-I have learned so much from you about the proper names of design and architecture. I would LOVE to learn more. (Total beginner)--are there any basic style/architecture 101 books that you could recommend ?!🙏🏼
In Natchez, what are yalls recommendations for must see places.
I've always wanted Natchez to have a Preservation Technical Training program like SCAD or NSU in Natchitoches where the whole county is the living lab. The Eola would make fabulous dorms 😊
There’s one coming to Jefferson college!
I often wonder when we as a society learned to disrespect such craftsmanship and artistry.
When how much money could be made in the least amount of time became more important.
I agree with another commenter about it being an arts space. But I would go a step further and say a performing arts space. That ballroom is begging for dance and theater productions.
Can you use drywall instead of lathe and plaster? I hate plaster....lol
Yes you can

A million? Not even close. 12,000 sq ft with that amount of detail. My guess 5 to 6 million, maybe more.
It sounded a little sacreligious to suggest making this condos -but OMG they would be PHENOMENAL ❤❤❤
Why is it only $80k? Legit, I don’t understand 🧐 how can these prices even be possible?
Structural Sound? The Framing is Intact... 50% Finished? Electrical? Plumping? Insulation? Cosmetic? 🏠
If you're interested in the property, those are all good questions for the Historic Natchez Foundation.
Is that foundation reinforced with steel?
You’ll have to ask Carter.
Is the town very quiet?
It’s a WONDERFUL town. Draws tourists from around the world, but isn’t “touristy”. Not commercialized. All the restaurants are local. It’s a wonderful place .
@@OurRestorationNation why then is it so cheap?
You moved to natchez?
Partially. Mostly.
Sounds lovely!🥰
Today, May 11th I read that the weather there in Natchez, MS is or will be scary. Praying that you won’t be impacted by it.
I want it, I want to turn it into a Garnier Palace! Who wants to join me!
Shooting range, shooting range! 😊
Just needs a coat of paint 😂
“A little paint, a few flowers, couple of throw pillows…” 😂
There is no way to get the smoke smell out of it. It’s going to have to be totally gutted and sandblasted down to the brick.
Oh it’s so good to know we have a preservation specialist here. Cool. Please tell us more. I mean, an actual preservationist knows you NEVER sandblast and how to remove the smell, but you seem to feel YOU are the expert, so please share more of your amazing knowledge.
13:49 looks like someone popped a pellet gun or .22 at the window.

Beautiful building with a sketchy history in a poor neighborhood.
Poor neighborhood??😂😂 I THINK you meant “surrounded by some of the largest and most expensive mansions in the nation” but whatever …
Commenting at 15 seconds. 80k? Has to be in a crappy neighborhood or need an immense amount of work or both.
It does need a lot of work but it’s in a great area.
Too bad it’s in a red state. Idk who would move to the south.
