I am slowly restoring an 1853 Greek Revival, and have fought tooth and nail to keep original features (mainly windows) in my home. . Keep up the great work! 💕
Yes, thank you for restoring these beautiful ladies of the past! You earned a new subscriber for bringing them back to life! There is nothing that bothers me more in the housing realm than someone buying an old house and destroying/ruining it by tearing its insides out and modernizing. Nooooo! Thank you!!💛
Holy cow that pocket door is huge!!! Willa is beautiful and I’m so glad y’all are saving her. I think Louise would be happy such a lovely lady is moving onto her lot! ❤️
Im glad you are keeping the house original. It will be beautiful once more.A younger person who appreciates older homes and wants to preserve it to its former glory.
The biggest pocket door I have ever seen! The kitchen sink! I am so glad you love them as much as I do. I have seen people throw them away. You can give the kitchen back its character. She is just yearning to be beautiful again.
When you opened the FRONT DOOR.... I squealed with joy at that POCKET DOOR AND WOOD TRIM! Then to see a 2nd pocket door and the butler’s pantry and the cabinets 😁😁💛💛😁😁. SO THANKFUL you are saving her !
That louvered window in the pantry was for light and ventilation. The large window in the adjoining room was directly across from the louvered window so it would allow more airflow. Airflow was everything in those days before air conditioning.
Omg she's gorgeous!!! I just happened upon your channel and I'm already hooked with this one video! Good luck moving this grand old lady and I can't wait to see what you do with her. I'd LOVE to see the attic! 💖💜💖
I appreciate how well you "explain" what you know, and how you illustrate it in the context of a real home. This is the best way we can learn from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Keep us posted! I keep thinking about the challenges of moving Willa, taking down doors, etc. and how long it actually takes to move a house and get her set back down. All the prep work that goes into it. You guys rock and I can hardly wait to see what you’re doing! God bless. I hope you use a little bit of Louise in Willa. If you saved any of Louise’s bricks and windows, you could give Willa a greenhouse!
I am amazed that Willa is in such good shape and has all of the original features. The trim and fireplaces are amazing! I love all of the doors. I can’t wait to see her get moved to her permanent place and I hope she travels well. I would hate to see those glass windows break as well as all of the chimneys and fireplace features. I love the front stained glass. Thank you for saving her!
Thank you Beth. You can rest a little easier because we will be taking out all of the windows, taking down the chimneys and securing all tile and original features the best we can before the move. A lot could still go wrong, but hopefully we'll arrive well intact.
In our “former” 101 yr old home had a room in the front that was called the “parlor” & we were told that’s where they would lay out the family member that passed away, they’d close off the rest of the house with the pocket doors & people that came to pay their respects, would come in & out front door & not be traipsing thru the whole house! Does this house have one?!? It also had NO insulation & a HUGE octopus oil furnace...that was a beast to rid of & finally get natural gas installed! We rid of the lathe & plaster...insulated & drywalled...still trying to keep the original woodwork! Had 9-10 ceilings & floor to ceiling windows too! Miss that house but someone else got to love it after us! I have subscribed to watch your progress!!! 🥰👍
@@catofthecastle1681 ahhh I was in Michigan at the time…they needed heat! There was a room in the basement where they dumped coal at one time, it was small, bricked off & no windows…just a metal door to fill it! Then they went to oil…big ‘ol tank in the basement! At one point…our monthly heating bill was higher than our house payment 😳😬
I hope you put a mostly glass wall feature in the breezeway so you can get the light much like it used to be but with the convenience of not having to walk outside in the winter to the kitchen
I am totally loving the fact I have seen 3 houses in Georgia in my old stomping grounds! Newer to your video's and absolutely love them! Thanks for saving these beauties!!!!
So glad you found Willa! Such a great house and love so many of the original details that it still has. Looking forward to all of your efforts in rescuing Willa!
This house also demonstrates the Victoria's understanding (generally speaking) of 'scale'. From the street there's no indication of how big the house is...not until you stood at the front door was the real size revealed. Love that aspect of good design of any era
Hi from Australia. What a beautiful house . Another beauty saved by my restoration heroes Laine & Kevin. Well done guys. Looking forward to your updates on this one.
She's gonna need to strap in everything for that trip down the street! Man..... Will you reopen her breezeway when she's settled? Hope all the fireplaces/chimneys hold up. Watched a move once and the fireplace fell out of the bottom of that house when they moved it! Mantle and a hole to the ground, so sad. Amazing that she's so much a time capsule. How did she get owned by the city?
I love these videos. They're so interesting. Full of rich history of each home. I love to see more even maybe some history of their era. I know I know I getting ahead of myself. Thank for making it so interesting.
What a beautiful old house! It has so much potential to shine again. I fell in love with old houses when I was about 8 years old--I had an aunt that rented a shotgun house, nothing fancy, but I was enamored with all the long windows and the wood floors. I guess it's in your blood. 😂
She’s a beauty but then again aren’t they all. Can’t get over the size of the pocket doors. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one that large. There usually 2 of them to meet in the middle. It’s a shame about the roof n all that plaster coming down. Let’s hope n pray it holds off enough to get it moved. I just love the knowledge you have in knowing your older homes. Hope you keep us informed on how Willow is progressing. ♥️♥️😊👍👍
I have an 1870's Farmhouse, turned Boarding House at the turn of the century, that I'm trying to restore. I live in the southern tier of the Catskills, too, in Barryville, NY.
Anyone else a fan of HGTV and wonder why this show is not one of its main features? Honestly, the two of you are made for a show on that Network. You are both so down-to-earth and likeable & you provide interesting information about the different architectural styles in these homes with so much detail which is what I enjoy. I love looking at and learning about architecture ... a huge fan of Victorian and anything old, different and detailed. Sooo, this isn't a rhetorical question. I really want to know if the two of you are interested in a show on that Network or if you're happy where you are. I'd watch religiously, as I'm sure all of your other fans would. Please let me know & thanks!!!
Hi Sheila. Thanks so much! We are actually being pitched this week to Discovery+. So who knows. We’re just doing our thing and if that happens for us, then all the better. If not, then we’ll just keep doing what we’re doing. Having support from amazing people like you keeps our spirits high. 😀😀
Enjoy your show immensely. Thank you. To enhance the entertainment value a better camera is a must. Showing off the front of the house at its best angles is ideal too.
Of all the houses Laine and Kevin own this is my favourite. I don't know why exactly, I just love it. Could have something to do with those walk through windows to the porch though. Willa is gorgeous.
I am in love with this house. It is a shame about the water damage…It’s crazy how much is still original. And it’s so sad the city didn’t do a better job of keeping up the roof.
Hi! New viewer here. I have been enjoying watching your videos while I eat breakfast. I'm curious if you did a video on how you first got into restoration? Maybe like a quick timeline of the houses you have bought and completed and which ones are still in progress. I'm watching this video thinking "which house is Louise? There was a fire?!" I'd love to see the big picture of how you got into this and what houses you have completed so far. Thanks so much for sharing and taking the time to make these videos for us. You have such a fun lively dynamic between you two. :)
That is the one thing in the West coast you don't have 200 year old houses. I lived in an 1908 farmhouse most likely a folk victorian. Would have loved to buy it. They wrecked it badly. Broke my heart. Turned the kitchen into the Laundry room formal dinning room into a long weird kitchen.
Hello, I am a new subscriber and I love how you are saving the beautiful old homes of our country. If I may I have several questions to ask and I hope that you will find the time to answer them. First do you post videos showing you all refurbishing the houses? The entire process? That is something that I love to watch. Secondly could you please say where this home is located and where you will be moving it to. Do you sell the houses that you renovate? I would like to say some positive criticism. Please get a camera that has stabilization with it. Record your videos on the camera. The gentleman who is filming you swings around and up and down to quickly and it causes severe dizzy to the point I couldn't watch a lot of the video and I really want to see the entire house as your describing it. Thank you so much and I can't wait to watch more of your videos. Please show us the entire moving process of this beautiful home and your renovation of it. Thank you and God Bless you both.
Hi Kathy. We are getting better with the video and audio each time we put out a new one so hang in there. We have sold most of the homes we’ve remodeled and live in one now. We have two currently going. The one that will be moved is in Louisivlle, Georgia. The other is in Helena, Arkansas. We will document and share everything the best we can.
Please show us a pan around each room so we can get an idea of what the house looks like. You spend so much time with details that we don’t get a shot of each complete room.
I once lived in an apartment that had a butler's pantry, and the sink was there, it was just below the window over looking outside. So in regards to your space, it would have been where all those items and boxes are piled high. And you also have shutters that was mentioned to be like a breezeway. Does it look as if it once had a sink there? Mine, in the apartment, old long deep and two sided sink, wonder why it was not inside the pantry... Once again, amazing detail and looking forward to the restoration.
Hey Laine, love your videos! You’re so informative! I’m curious where you learned all this information about what period the houses are from to knowing names of trims, etc. This is one of the main reasons I love watching your videos. Even tho I don’t watch regular tv, I really hope you’re successful in getting a show. I’ve been a female remodeler for over a decade and been told over a dozen times that I should be on a show. 😁lol If they only knew how camera shy I am. Anyway, I’m self taught on everything I know. RUclips is a fantastic teacher! So just curious how you became so knowledgeable. Keep up the interesting work!
It looks like the city was using the home as storage. The large decorations are the type they hang from utility poles. If you notice in one of the bedroom there was clothing with reflective tape on it that looks like fire fighter protective gear.
Yes Christie you are correct. The city was using this for several purposes and storing Christmas decorations and fire equipment was definitely among them.
Work, work work and lots of money and more money. Just to get it up speed. Then more money to heat and cool it. New roof, new wiring, new furnace, new plaster, new plumbing, etc. etc. It's a labour of love in The End. Cheers I forgot you will need to furnish it. You can't just fill it up with IKEA crap. Good luck.
@@OurRestorationNation Why does it have to be moved? I understand there are modern businesses around it, so its not "ideal" residential location, but isn't the damage risk and expense of moving her, greater than the less than ideal location? Seems to me like moving entire buildings always leads to a lot of shift damage.
Love what you do. Saving these old beauties. Your audio is not great....hard to hear. I've noticed this on your other videos also. I really enjoy seeing your progress. Thanks
It is sooooo nice to see some one who wants to keep the house as original as possible and not 'modernize' it right out of its charm.
💯👏
I am slowly restoring an 1853 Greek Revival, and have fought tooth and nail to keep original features (mainly windows) in my home. . Keep up the great work! 💕
@@jbanana1776 where is the place?
That’s what I want to do when I get my Victorian home
I am amazed at all the original details that are still there. The double sized pocket doors? WOW! I would die for the butlers pantry.
the louvered window is for light into the food prep pantry area, it's ingenious
Yes, thank you for restoring these beautiful ladies of the past! You earned a new subscriber for bringing them back to life! There is nothing that bothers me more in the housing realm than someone buying an old house and destroying/ruining it by tearing its insides out and modernizing. Nooooo! Thank you!!💛
You’re our kind of people Kara. Welcome to the nation.
@@OurRestorationNation 😊thank you!
Holy cow that pocket door is huge!!! Willa is beautiful and I’m so glad y’all are saving her. I think Louise would be happy such a lovely lady is moving onto her lot! ❤️
Such a beautiful house! So glad there's someone who doesn't knock down walls to create a massive modern kitchen, and paint all the trim.
Im glad you are keeping the house original. It will be beautiful once more.A younger person who appreciates older homes and wants to preserve it to its former glory.
What a treasure! Wasn't expecting such glorious detail with doors, mantels, windows and entry hall. Hope you can get a tarp on the old gal soon.
I spoke to the roofer today so hopefully soon.
Willa has so much potential! Love all the Victorian stained glass and details. Can’t wait to see what you do with her!❤️
The biggest pocket door I have ever seen! The kitchen sink! I am so glad you love them as much as I do. I have seen people throw them away. You can give the kitchen back its character. She is just yearning to be beautiful again.
What a gorgeous home!!!! I can’t wait to see her get all gussied up! Something definitely to look forward to in 2021. ❤️
The city’s Christmas decorations everywhere are cracking me up
I LOVE and appreciate your mastery of the nuances of style details within Victorian design styles. It's a real treat and a pleasure.
Sadly the sound wasn't a whole lot better inside but a lot better when the camera was near you. I just discovered you today and am binge watching.
Agreed this is the second video I watched where to sound quality of her voice was distorted. She need to get a wireless microphone
When you opened the FRONT DOOR.... I squealed with joy at that POCKET DOOR AND WOOD TRIM! Then to see a 2nd pocket door and the butler’s pantry and the cabinets 😁😁💛💛😁😁.
SO THANKFUL you are saving her !
I am a new subscriber and I am in awe of Willa. So thrilled your channel was recommended to me.
I'm getting such an architectural education watching these. I love the terms.
She seems like a wallflower, but I can see how much she's going to shine once y'all give her a little self confidence.
Beautiful house ! So happy you all saved her ! Can’t wait to see restoration of her !

Unfortunately all of the windows were destroyed in the fire. But we do have many of the bricks and will be using them in the foundation.
@@OurRestorationNation good to hear! How is the move going? Are you snow and ice covered?
Willa is a lovely lady! So happy for you both and the nation!
Laine you are a hoot!
I so appreciate the passion you and Kevin have for these sacred places.

Often those parlor rooms were sitting rooms or had a piano in them to play music life before television...
@@dawnjackson6299 Right, a sort of multipurpose room of that time.
And most places in the south never heated with oil!

Hi from Australia. What a beautiful house . Another beauty saved by my restoration heroes Laine & Kevin. Well done guys. Looking forward to your updates on this one.

Boxhead Windows!! My new favorite architectural feature. Who wouldn't love a walk-through window...
She's gonna need to strap in everything for that trip down the street! Man..... Will you reopen her breezeway when she's settled? Hope all the fireplaces/chimneys hold up. Watched a move once and the fireplace fell out of the bottom of that house when they moved it! Mantle and a hole to the ground, so sad. Amazing that she's so much a time capsule. How did she get owned by the city?
I don't think we'll open that breezeway, but that's not totally decided. The family donated the home to the city about 24 years ago.
I love these videos. They're so interesting. Full of rich history of each home. I love to see more even maybe some history of their era. I know I know I getting ahead of myself. Thank for making it so interesting.

Are you still running a B&B?
& the Plaster is in such GREAT SHAPE!
beautiful home!! so happy to stumble across this channel - I came to check out the house and stayed for the hosts! great energy!!

Thank you for this immensely critical
comment posted on a three YEAR OLD video from when we had just gotten started.
We live in an 1861 home in Massachusetts. Was owned by a sea captain . The windows are very similar to yours.
Beautiful Willa ❤️
ooooh! The old church pew! I would love to see THAT refinished and used.
I am HERE for this epic move. So exciting 💚
So exited to watch Willa's journey!
Of all the houses Laine and Kevin own this is my favourite. I don't know why exactly, I just love it. Could have something to do with those walk through windows to the porch though.
Willa is gorgeous.
It is fun to watch you show these homes. 😅
Love the kitchen sink
Thanks for the tour. Looks lovely.
Lovely house !!!
I am in love with this house. It is a shame about the water damage…It’s crazy how much is still original. And it’s so sad the city didn’t do a better job of keeping up the roof.
So beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us 😍
Absolutely Gorgeous!
If you love that style of Tile you would LOVE where I grew up in Albany NY. Every old home has it somewhere!
All the wiring will have to be brought up to code. My grandmother's house burnt to ground. It still had the original wiring.
TUBE AND SPOOL
Moneypits. Too bad it costs so much to actually live in and fix these beautiful old homes.
What a beautiful home ❤️❤️❤️

Love her!! I know you guys will bring her back to her glory! But I have to ask, what is with the big Christmas decorations😆?
I was wondering the same thing. Those have to be for commercial purposes because they are way too big for residential use
It looks like the city was using the home as storage. The large decorations are the type they hang from utility poles. If you notice in one of the bedroom there was clothing with reflective tape on it that looks like fire fighter protective gear.

@@OurRestorationNation Why does it have to be moved? I understand there are modern businesses around it, so its not "ideal" residential location, but isn't the damage risk and expense of moving her, greater than the less than ideal location?
