Man Finds His Incredible Abandoned Family Plantation House From 1700’s & Buys it to Save it

Massive thanks too Mr Blick for giving me and my mom (of course I brought my mom along for this one) a tour of this stunning place. In southern Virginia the Blick plantation was built most likely around the mid to late 1700’s. It features a cornucopia of unique architectural features and designs that you would never find in homes of today. The whole home is constructed from huge timbers joined by wooden dowels, no nails needed for that. This marvel of architectural engineering sat vacant for nearly half a century before being found and purchased by the 8th generation of the family. Mr Blick now plans to restore and preserve the home. Huge thank you to Mr. blick for giving me and my madre a tour. Listen to his incredible story and learn about the unique construction of this home and the families who walked its walls. Please consider checking out Mr Blicks Facebook, YouTube channel and donating to help with the funding too save this incredible old place. Thanks for watching.

You have to go back to that house when it's restored to see the finished product

Finally, one of these magnificent old homes will be restored and not trashed and torn down.

Imagine building a home & even for a moment, thinking your descendants will be living in it 300yrs later. Total respect to Mr Blick for taking this on.

What a refreshing charming heartwarming video!! After seeing countless lost abandoned and forgotten homes… this house is still being loved and appreciated!! His forefathers would be so proud of this gentleman!!!

He needs to contact the show Our Restoration Nation. They would love this house and may be able to help get grants to return it to its true beauty🤗❤️

Wow Kappy to have a descendant of the home come back and take such joy in their Heritage and explain what they found is absolutely amazing ❤

Virginia old house buff here, as soon as I saw the opening picture I said that's a Virginia house. What a wonderful piece of history and connection Mr. Blick has back to his ancestors and the land. Having restored my early 19th century Virginia house, I mixed up my share of lime plaster and to repair walls and lime mortar to repoint stone foundations, hunted wavy bubble glass at salvage yards to reglaze windows and bought up square nails where ever I saw them for floor and moulding repairs. Mr. Blick has some backbreaking but rewarding work ahead, I look forward to following. Thanks for sharing Kappy!

How deeply satisfying for Mr. Blick, to have been able to purchase his ancestral home. Just love how he has it decorated with all the historical family photos. This has got to be your most riveting explore so far, Kappy. Thank you so much for this gift!

[michaelballlenger]

Thanks Kappy. So glad to see an historic home being carefully cared for and carefully going to be restored. Especially by the original family that would have owned the home. This should be a tutorial for anyone interested in saving a part of our history.

So happy to see this beautiful home being saved
