Which room was your favorite? Let us know below!
I can’t answer that, I love the whole house!
Love the sewing area ( which would be my painting room) leading out to the tea balcony!
OMG A SQUARE PIANO in the library!!!!!!! How freaking awesome!!!!!!
@@carolinemaluca ++++
The library is my favorite room.❤️
The hand stenciling on the ceiling is lovely
Fun Fact: Before mechanical refrigeration became a "thing", what we now call an "Icebox" was called a...refrigerator! (You can see this in vintage catalogs). Oddly, My mother (Born well into the electric refrigerator age) called the refrigerator the "icebox", I sometime slip and do it myself! (Maybe it's a Pittsburgh thing? IDK)
Nope, my Grandmother did the same thing!! I was young, didn’t ever think twice about it! Oh, we’re from Texas. 😉
I have been restoring my 1910 craftsman middle class home for many years and enjoy all the info you provide in your videos.
That is amazing!
I am stunned by the beauty in every single room!!! Jaw dropping beauty!!! Trying to recreate the past in our old house as well. Period accurate is our goal .. What an inspiring home!
I love it that you toured a home from where I grew up! Downtown Cape has some nice historic architecture. That house is beautiful! So glad it's been preserved.
what a refreshing break from the world to take your tours thanks
What a beautiful house. Victorian is my favorite period with colonial being a close second!
I love the bathroom. The antique sitz bath, toilet, bathtub, sink, the beautiful glossy woodwork, and lighting. I love the colors they chose for the walls of the house. (The greens, mulberry, mustards,,, ) The front porch is beautiful. I love the entire house.
This house is beautiful! I can't thank you enough. I get to see these houses I could never dream of seeing!
My mother was from central Missouri her dad was a psychologist professor at the University of Missouri. He teach there for years he died in 1981. My mom had 4 sisters and one brother her dad was name Fred McKinney, and he start teaching in the 1930s and he retired in the mid 1970s. Thanks for sharing this beautiful stylish queen Anne .
How fascinating, thank you for sharing. We are glad that you enjoyed this House Tour!
My Mother and I, have visited this house, many times over the years, in the 80's, 90's and the early 2000's. It has always beautiful and we'll preserved. Just a lovely and interesting stories told. Thank you for this visual tour in 2021. Wow.
We’re so glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully it will stay intact for many more generations to come!
I know that houses in that era were dark, but I had to actually turn up my screen brightness to see this one! 😄 I always imagined that summer kitchens were bigger than that. I was surprised that it was no bigger than a backyard shed! The house and furnishings are gorgeous! 😍 Thank you for the great tour. 👍😘💙
I was amazed at the overall side of all the rooms! Loved the dining room, children’s room & the master bedroom - incredible! ♥️
I was surprised at how large the upstairs bedrooms were. The dark wallpaper/wall covering made the rooms very dark, the closed wooden shutters adding to the darkness. A lovely house.
What a beautiful house, decorating is quite elegant. The lighting is very beautiful. I see many of the shutters are drawn to make a more romantic and a mysterious mood. Today people like the house bright and filled with light, however I prefer the charm of the soft light. Thank you, you did a great job.
The dining room is probably my favourite. I like the ceiling lights in the corners. I really like the stained glass, green paint in the hall and stencils in the house. Thank you for the tour.
Me too! I love that shade of green and the stained glass!
I learn more history watching your content than I did all my years in school! I love it! Favorite room? The kitchen!
I've always loved the old Victorian homes and envied those girls who had replica doll houses. Sadly, many have been destroyed or simply demolished so I loved this video "tour". Which room was my favorite? I would have to say all of them. Amazing that that much period furniture was found to fully decorate the house. 👍🤗
You can purchase "kit" dollhouses online. Although they may be not to your particular specifications.
I built one once for my daughter. It was fun.
I would do it again.
I think they are beautiful. The only down side i can see is the interior is darker than I like.
My mother always kept her house dark, although not a victorian..
I really prefer brightness indoors.
Loved it! Loved all the light fixtures! Thank you!
This is literally my dream house!
I cannot choose just one, this house divine
You've done a wonderful job of preserving this house!!!
I used to give tours at a Victorian Mansion in Philadelphia and this house reminds me of it a lot. Photos of the house from the period still exist so it wasn't extremely difficult to recreate the carpet and wallpaper. It also has stenciling. Just as in your video, families have donated period furniture including donations from descendants of the second owners. The original owners grew wealthier very quickly and had a larger home built. If you are ever in Philadelphia you would probably enjoy a visit to the Ebenezer Maxwell Mansion
Thank you for sharing this house with us.
Such a beauty!!!
The piano music in this is really nice.
Ohmahgosh!!!! Aaaaaaabsolutely stunning!!!! Thankyou!!!!!
This is beautiful.. thanks for sharing!!
Our pleasure, we are glad you enjoyed it!
I love the dinning room & all the historical features that are preserved in it. The total house is divine.✨
So charming and livable even now quite many ghosts of christmas past.
Ken another nice tour of a beautiful house and it really had a homey feeling giving me happy vibes. Thank you for always giving us a load of information about each home...you bring it to life and I always want to come back for more. Linda from Michigan +
How wonderful!
Wonderful tour, Ken! What amazing stenciling, stained glass, light fixtures, and detail work throughout this beautiful historic home. You did a great job of laying in the voice overs and it added to the tour. It might be time for a wireless mic, maybe, so that the sound is really clear. You do a great job with dialogue. Great camera work (Nathan?), editing, and I loved the music bed in the opening sequences! Also, love your logo... clear and classy. Looking forward to your next tour!
Thank you so much for the compliments and the feedback! All of the filming is done by another member of our team, Dalton, whom we have yet to introduce - I'll pass along your compliments to him! Thank you so much! -Ken
I normally dont like dark colors next to dark wood, but this home is absolutely beautiful. I love the bit of the spooky lighting, and feel. Yet the warm lights give the place am oddly cozy vibe as well. I thoroughly enjoyed this tour, and adore this home.
Glad you liked it! Thank you for watching!
What a wonderful house. I wish I could live in a house like this. Congratulations tô those who take Care tô mantain It.
Keep up the great work! I love your videos and look forward to your next house!!
Thank you! Will do!
Great home tours, thank you.
Thank you!
Thanks for doing this video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful house and love the period furnishings, details etc.
Beautiful ♥️
Beautiful home, I bet that maid was kept busy with the dusting alone.
Very beautiful wonderful style, love it, I wish at least to visite such houses at réal one day
We're glad you enjoyed it and hope you will be able to visit one day!
Love the bones of the house, not the stenciling or the fact it is SO DARK! I’d lighten that house up, toot de suite! 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫😵😵
Interesting home 🏡
This house is so dark, no sunlight coming in.
Did I see this house on an episode of ghost hunters or one of those ghost hunting shows a while back? It is so familiar for some reason. Beautiful place and great video!
It was featured on Ghost Hunters a couple years ago! Good memory!
@@ThisHouse okay, I knew I remembered it from something I saw on tv. It was so familiar and was connected to a ghost/tragedy story but couldn't place it. Thanks for the update and thanks for the cool videos! I've been watching and enjoying the tours and history lessons. I love old houses! Thanks again! Heath
@@hdhedden glad you’re enjoying them!
I love to see these house
Beautiful home!! My brother is from there and if I ever get back up there, would love to stop by! BTW those are the most fabulous wicker chairs I have ever seen!
OMG This House Is Spectacular, I Absolutely Love 💜 It, I'm Going To Buy A Craftman Style House In Donora PA Where I Was Born And Raised And Will Continue To Live Here Until The Good Lord Calls Me Home, I Plan On Remodeling The Outside To Look Like A 1880 Queen Anne Victorian Style, A Victorian Has Always Been My Dream House
Would of been easier to see the interior if the window coverings would if been drawn back! Too dark!
That wallpaper would HAVE to go.
I am really interested to know how you sourced the information about the house. For example, Victorian couples usually did not share bedrooms. And the master suite is set up with that door between the two rooms
To accommodate that. It's great to see an exception to that social rule.
We were given access to the compiled history of the home as well as a private tour by it's curator before filming. The house really is an exception to many rules as the couple who lived there were considered to be on the cutting edge of fashion and technology. It really is a unique home for it's time period. Thanks for watching!
What a beautiful house! Question: *14:02 Is that a “Child sized” Bathtub between the sink and Clawfoot Bathtub?
I think it is a sitz bath 🧼 🛁
I lived near Cape Girardeau and never even seen this house.
YOU DID A WONDERFUL PRESENTATION AND YOU LOOK WONDERFUL. MY FAVORITE ROOM IS THE LIBRARY THE ROOM WITH THE PIANO. WHAT DO YOU CALL THE FRET WORK JUST BEFORE THE BAY WINDOWS? THE PRETTY WOOD DECORATION UP BY THE CEILING. THAT IS BEAUTIFUL TOO. OH THE POCKET DOORS I LOVE POCKET DOORS. ARE YOU DOING ANY TOURS IN THE NEAR FUTURE IN JUNE OF 2022?
George Washington did faux stone on his house..looks great.
Wow, I’ve seen a lot of dark Victorians, but this is the darkest one I’ve ever seen. Was it the lightning while filming maybe?
The house was incredibly dark! We had to pull out every trick in the book to brighten it up for filming. It is easy to see why the show Ghost Hunters was so drawn to it, light just doesn't flow through this house.
Lovely home but would enjoyed it more if it was so dark. Turning on a light or something😊
The children’s nurseries were huge probably because they spent most of their time there playing 🧸 and being looked after and taught by governesses and tutors. 📚
Beautiful home. Just the tour was too quick. I couldn't get a good look at some of the features before the camera moved to something else
Clever title. Just remove the word "Old" and you're golden.
We will try that out! Thanks for the feedback!
You guys should’ve changed the light filter for your video.
Way too dark to even make out the details.
Thank you for the feedback! We have since upgraded our equipment.
Are there any closets??
08:47 The camera keeps going right past the bust of a woman without notice. It caught my attention & I wonder about it.
*@ **10:51** pause and catch an example of the Victorian Jewel Color, here and Emerald Green, a color that has returned to the current Color Pallet for the "Very New 21st Century Modern Victorian Style in Decor".*
▪ One that will require a most informed Professional Decorator. It is a subject I strongly suggest "Professional" to be used or a Class required for the really gifted DIY'ers, or risk a most noticeable confusing outcome.
The original Victorian having such heavy layer of Decor is not the Style of the 21st Century version and it can be an elusive to achieve in its intended style.
(Not my favorite of Trends for the obvious, one can imagine, (like finger painting with Oils on Canvas), Oh, lets just dont!
Beautiful Green, delicious.
Is it haunted? If it’s haunted…I want to investigate.
House is beautiful but I am not a fan of painted brick.
Please give some attention to lighting
You didn’t mention that it’s haunted!
The correct pronunciation is FOY ER, not FOY AY.
I absolutely hate dark victorian colors. They make the house so dark in addition to all the dark woodwork. The kitchen is great for a museum, but wouldn't work in a real home. Other than that it's beautiful.
Thanks for watching! While the colors aren't for everyone, we are glad that you enjoyed the tour!
Did the Victorians like dark rooms?
Not all. Preferences varied back then just as today.
You couldn't pay me enough to spend the night in this house. Scary!
We definitely recommend checking out the episode of Ghost Hunters that the Glenn House was featured in if you are into paranormal television.
This tour was too quick, I hardly got to see it all
Some friendly advice from a public speaker: Please stop saying "actually" every sentence. Listen to this video and count the number of times you say it. I am trying to help, because once you hear it, you cannot unhear it. I (actually) had to stop listening.
Thank you for the feedback
So dark. Hard to see
I’m sure it’s beautiful but you can’t really see because the lighting is so absolutely horrific
Therefore after two minutes and 59 seconds invest and I’m going to click off
all most, but nope
Better lighting! It's too dark
We are surprised the lights got as bright as they did considering the home is still on knob-and-tube wiring!
That family probably owned slaves. 👎🏾
Actually the house is beautiful ! No really it ACTUALLY is !And you say that word too much
I love the idea behind this show, but your lighting is terrible and you mispronounce words that anyone doing house tours should know.
please learn your history and slow down your speak
This house is haunted
This is so beautiful to see that a community has such love of it's history and the commitment of it's inhabitants still to this day. You did a very nice job with the video as well as the many volunteers and contributors to the house and it's integrity.
Just beautiful, the hold house was decorated beautifully. I just love old homes like this one . Even today these types of home are beautiful but they are open up better then the old ones were . I live in one it was beautiful but had the old feeling about it , the style of the Victorian.
I definitely live in the wrong time. I can't pick a favorite room of such a beautiful home. I am in awe. Thank you for the tour Ken!
Glad you enjoyed it!
My sister and I say the same thing. Born in the wrong era for everything.
The house is spectacular except the “kitchen”. The cooks had to be magicians to cook even small meals let alone dinner parties.
Too dark, I can’t see details. Camera moves too fast.
It was very dark in this home. All the wiring is still on knob-and-tube!
Victorian home has always been my dream to get one and turn into B&B...
What a beautiful, beautiful home! Thank you so much for the tour!
Lovely, Mount Vernon was also scored like the summer kitchen to resemble stone.
George Washington's home is so beautiful, we hope to be able to see it someday!
That summer kitchen must have been torturous to work in! No windows and a small door? It must have been awful!
I love this house. Thank you so much for a delightful tour. You’re the best!!!
I am way more interested in these middle/upper middle class homes than the real biggies.
Interesting they were considered middle class. I do not have servants nor did my father give me a mansion for my wedding present! 🤣🤣love the tour. Thank you so much.
Isn't that wild!? Glad you enjoyed this one!
Hey, you're down my way! It might be interesting to try and wrangle a visit either to the Jackson Oliver house or the Cape Girardeau one (the primary location that Marie Watkins Oliver and the team of women who created the MO state flag worked on it).
That is a fantastic idea! We will look into visiting those houses, thank you!!
Wow my family settled in that area.
Doesn't look lived in more like a museum WOW lots of stenciling no thermo pane windows (I guess); Middle Class, if you have a maid that's upper class. Garage? Basement?
It is a House Museum. At the end of the video, I sat down with the Curator to talk about what it is like running it as a House Museum. There is a detached carriage house, though it is newer. There is also a crawl space below the house, no basement.
