At the time of the filming of this mansion, it was an unprotected location but I'm pleased to announce the mansion was recently listed under an LLC and is now being protected and preserved for many generations to come. The artifacts inside the mansion are all being saved and the wonderful family of Ollie Smith have gone to great lengths to preserve this beautiful piece of American history and its story for years to come!

I live in Birmingham, and I was blessed to meet the man Ollie Smith on his horse farm in Shelby Co. My father knew him well because he also worked at Alabama Power. My Dad bought me a horse from him and his horse trainer and Ollie taught me to ride. I can tell you he was so Southern, down to Earth and a character too!!!

The reason I watch your videos is you’re knowledgeable, and have respect for the deceased . You don’t seem like a shady character like so many others . Congratulations on such a wonderful channel .

You did a wonderful job of the tour, but let me help out a bit. The lady's room you were describing would have been a sitting room, parlor, or formal living room. A boudoir is a woman's bedroom or private room. The other area you were some what at a loss for is called a butler's pantry, That is where the main part of your crystal, china, and matching serving pieces would have been stored and displayed, protected by glass front doors to dissuade household dust from accumulating when stored between uses. Silver would be polished and stored there also. In the kitchen above the stove were molds for certain casseroles, salads, spreads, or desserts that would be chilled or frozen before serving and placed or turned out on a platter or tray with garnishes or relishes around it to serve. You didn't cook in them. Also, the architectural category for house design would be Greek Revival, not Victorian. Again though, you did a good job!👍

I love how respectful you are. How you bring a young youthful life back into the homes you show. You bring not only the home but the spirits back to life, and in such an honorable manner. Very sweet.

[Thejasonrogers]

I love how Jerm gives us the story not just a video of a random abandoned house

[charlene]

6:40 All those "pots and pans" on the wall above the stove aren't cookware, they are Jello molds. Were big in the '50's and early '60's. Love the tours! Thanks for sharing!

The floor damage looks like it was caused from the radiators leaking. They had so many books back then because if you had to learn about something you read it in books. We didn't have internet and all the conveniences we have now. We went to the library.

[gwenfrankowski]

Ty for being respectful with your stories and commentary. You are the only one who takes this road when developing these productions

[EmarieDeDominick]

This makes me think about how precious our lifetime is.

This is absolutely the best abandoned home production I've ever seen. A couple of things you might find interesting: There were definitely redecorations in the 1980s or 1990s in the girl's room with the cat decorations. The blue swirly wallpaper is called Blue Provence Swirl and is made by the Waverly company. I believe the bedspread and other fabrics resemble Waverly, or another upscale fabric manufacturer. Probably from another decade, but there is also Waverly Country Life toile wallpaper in the room with the organ and sarcophagus. Pretty sure the wallpaper that coordinates with the pink Aubusson-style rugs in the entry is also Waverly but I can't place the pattern. Someone or her decorator had good taste! That's a sauna gadget in one of the bathrooms. My parents had one! The gold-colored jewelry box dates back to 1962. I smiled when I saw it, as I have a photo of my mother opening the same box as a Christmas gift. I think the manufacturer was Buxton. Thank you for sharing this fascinating home and its journey in caring from the young to the very old.

Happy to hear the family stepped up to protect this home. When I first watch I did a search on the owner and found he has many grandchildren. I kept asking why would the family not take care of this place! Ollie had a very interesting life.

[GG-mknw]

I couldn’t find if anyone commented on the thing in the bathroom. I’m pretty sure it’s a sauna. This house is amazing, what a great place to explore!

I have never wanted to jump on a plane & fly all the way to there, so much as I do right now! Those blue, green etc Long stemmed crystal glasses on the mantle piece ARE $150 each value, the Chinese "ginger jars" as a pair could be $5000 for both. The carpets/ rugs ARE JAW DROPPINGLY VALUABLE. I am flabbergasted. By the value. By the beauty. By the fact that it just sits there empty. I'd be very surprised to find anything similar abandoned here. The red rug has me coveting lol. OMG the Wallpaper!!!!
I can't get over THE VALUE of all this left behind both financially and historically.

[ucpre]

The old Victorian furniture and the beautiful wood work, a d beautiful paintings are amazing😍thank u for showing this antique beauty

[clarefoskett]

So the family did step in to protect the property, what a relief.
A beautifully told story, thank you.

[dorothydanridge]

I live here in Birmingham. Alabama.. I know exactly where this is. Thanks for showing the inside. The small lack of cobwebs and dust gives me the impression that someone checks on this house periodically. This was the wealthy side of town in its day.

[TheAllison]

You are very articulate and a masterful narrator/story teller.

[angeljoy]

Thank you for taking us along on your discovery. It didn’t feel like you’d already been through it and was recapping what you’d already seen, but that we were seeing it with you for the first time.
This one was definitely one of a kind!!

The painting of the little girl is by Sir Thomas Lawrence. Theat crystal decanter is a piece by Rene Lalique. I'm just watching gobsmacked.
OMG THE BLUE FOO DOG!!!!
