I'm so glad that this house now belongs to someone who will love it again. You picked a treasure to restore.

C'mon man, slow down with the camera. Way too fast, dizzying and nauseating quick movements. Would have made the video much more enjoyable. From what I could see, the house is absolutely gorgeous. I'd love to see it after the restoration. Nice find!

Love this, but can I ask you move slower with the camera.

When you are panning the views please slow down movement of the camera. Beautiful house. Thank you for letting us see. Looking forward to your adventure.

Hopefully you can correct any structural issues, and make sure the roof and windows are not leaking, but otherwise you have a great house. So many Victorians have been stripped of trims, fixtures, and hardware, or painted over with horrible thick layers of white paint or horrible wallpaper. In a way, the fact the kitchen doesn't have much in it is good. You'll be able to design your own look without having to work around odd old features, or feel guilty for taking them out. While I love them (we have a cabinet with slats instead of solid shelves (it was a cooler), a mirrored medicine cabinet over the sink, and a 1929 patent metal garbage chute set into the tile counter (house from 1931), sometimes they are very hard to work around. I wonder if the room with the linoleum floor was once a sleeping porch. Maybe I missed it, but I'm not sure where your house is located.

The box on the wall at 6:40 in your video is an annunciator. there would be a buzzer (the ting that looks like a door bell) through out the families rooms in the house...if a servant was wanted a family member would press the button and the servant would know what room in the house that were needed in. Very cool that you still have it in your house...Good luck w/ your project!

That looks like a truss protruding out of the attic floor. Is it? If so, I'm guessing maybe the builder recognized there was a room on the level below that was going to require a span larger than normally advisable in regard to the load-bearing capacity of the house's overall structure and a truss was a slick solution. It's neat to see these old-school construction solutions (from the days long before engineered wooden beams, glulam, etc.).

Beautiful house! I love the wood work both stained and painted white! 😁 Enjoy the remodel!

We have many true stories about this house from our ownership. Light fixtures we added along with much of the hardware.

The window at the main staircase would have had stained glass

How much would it cost to restore such a beautiful home?
