Youtube hearted comments of Andrew Brendan (@andrewbrendan1579).

  1. First two apartments: not really for me. Amanda's apartment: great! Amanda could start a side business as a decorator.

  2. For many years I've enjoyed stories, both fact and fiction, about New York high society but, somehow, have never heard of the story of Emilie Grigsby. Thank you for introducing me to a new---and real life!---story!

  3. Thank you, Cash, for having us over for a visit and for sharing some of your outside-the-office life with us! It was so nice to see little Violet and it's great that she's now the second generation to use your Cash chair!

  4. Terrific video, Cash.Your channel has gone from not only apartments available, but to news and information that provides a real service. Outstanding work. And I'm already looking forward to our next trip with you to Japan!

  5. Good to see a staircase that's sturdy and solid, not something that's only one notch away from being a ladder.

  6. Another outstanding Mike Brady production! Thank you, Mike, for all t he time and work that go into your videos. These videos are of such high quality they could be on television networks. --- I once read a book called "Fourteen Minutes", about the sinking of the Empress of Ireland. Something that stood out for me from the book was how the Canadian Pacific line after Titanic sank had a policy that crew members were to be so familiarized with the layout of their ship that they could find their way out onto the open deck in complete darkness. My recollection is that many of the survivors were crew members rather than passengers who had boarded the ship only hours before. Because of the conditions of the sinking, the crew could do little beyond trying to save themselves. I'd like to encourage viewers/readers to thoroughly familiarize themselves with the layout of their homes, workplaces, schools, etc. so that they know how to get out in an emergency and maybe get other people out as well. Even in stores and malls and other public spaces, it could be good to look around and have an idea about how to quickly get out in a crisis situation. I'm not talking about living in fear, and parnoia, but about being realistic and having a sensible plan of action.

  7. A great house and with so much potential to be well-used even if not as a family home, torn down after standing for so few years and being occupied for even fewer years. Of the houses featured in "This House", I think the story of the Gates mansion is the worst waste of a house I've seen.

  8. Ken, great to see you for the first time! What a pleasure to visit Kimmswick. I grew up in a 1926 house built for my great-grandparents and occupied by four generations of our family and with items going back as far as the 17th century. (A German devotional book with wooden hinges, printed in about 1614) I've slept in a four-poster bed with ropes for the mattress and pegs holding the bed together. During the video I recognized items familiar to those in my family's home. My family has nearly all died out but, happily, many of the contents of the house went to the Mathers Museum at Indiana University.

  9. The weight of the hoard was so great and it was piled so high that the hoard was holding up the house. Civil engineers said the house had to be cleared out from the top down. --- The two brothers' bodies were interred in a family mausoleum and then the doors were sealed shut. As in life, the brothers were closed off from the world.
    62
  10. What a horrible, tragic story. --- Ken, you and your viewers might be interested in the 1954 novel "My Brother's Keeper" by Marcia Davenport. It's a very well-written story based heavily upon the Collyer brothers. Not only is it an excellent work of fiction, but I think it accurately shows how and why people gradually become hoarders and this was long before there was much research on or knowledge about the subject. There's also a non-fiction book about the Collyer brothers called "Shadow Men". -- I think videos such as this one are not only informative and interesting, but provide a public service because they can motivate people to look at their own lives and to take action to prevent themselves from going in the same direction as the two brothers.

  11. Great apartment overall but one small part is an issue for me: the stove is next to the wall and there is no tile above the stove as there is over the back of the counter area. Will there be food and grease stains on the wall next to the stove? Can you be comfortable cooking without some elbow room on either side of the stove? If you use the right-hand side burners that's a lot of heat only inches from the wall. Will the wall eventually be scorched?
    49
  12. This place is Wow City. Only drawbacks: I don't go for bathrooms that connect bedrooms; the privacy issue/possibility of someone walking in on you at an awkward moment. Also if the elevator is the only means of entering and exiting the apartment then the apartment is not for me because of fire safety/emergency issues. Too for an extra layer of protection I'd rather have an elevator that opens into a foyer or hallway, not right into my living space.
    41
  13. All that long living room space: finally room to have all my boxed-up but as-yet-unread books out on shelves and organized! I have so little in the way linens that I could use some of the shelf space in the linen closet for books. Both apartments are great. I'm at a point in life where I no longer like the idea of living alone (age and health reasons) and the second apartment would be a great set-up for two people to be there but still have space and privacy. And with a sink sprayer and room for our shrines, who in their right MIND could possibly ask for more???
    39
  14. Cash, you've turned me into a more discerning viewer. The first apartment is a dud. As Ilya mentioned below it's really a divided studio apartment. It's mostly better-than-nothing. The bedrooms are more sleeping compartments than bedrooms. For two people to live there and spend much time together it would be a strain. Second apartment: not bad! A huge improvement over the first.
    37
  15. I just learned of this channel. Very interesting presentation, Dr. Grande!---I'd like to share some of my own thoughts about this case. (Some may have been mentioned below.) 1) I've seen the coroner's photos and I think it's possible Mrs. Borden could have fallen to the floor without much sound: Women wore a lot of clothing then and the layers of material provided sound-absorbing padding. I don't recall if there was a rug rather than bare floor boards, something else to absorb sound. Mrs. Borden also was in an kneeling or bowing down position so may not have fallen straight down with all of her weight at once. Also the Borden house looks rather large to me. I think it's possible for something to happen to Mrs. Borden without it being heard above or below in the possibly brief time it took for the murder to happen. 2) I've heard the house has no hallways because Mr. Borden thought them a waste of space so maybe the walls and doors also kept sound from extending far. 3) One documentary I saw mentioned an odd inheritance law concerning widows: if Mrs. Borden died second, her family would have received a big portion of Mr. Borden's estate. There would have been lot less for Lizzie and Emma to inherit. 4) I've heard that shortly before six members of the DeFeo family were killed in the famous Amityville murders in 1975, Mrs. DeFeo had said "something terrible" was going to happen, much like Lizzie had said many years earlier. 5) I once had a really awful roommate I wish I could tell you about. He was sadistic and I consider him capable of doing a lot. It would be interesting to get your thoughts on HIM!
    36
  16. Thank you, Big Old Boats! A great production about a ship that has become obscured in history. The Bremen deserves much more recognition. She had terrific interiors. It's sad that there are so few good-quality pictures of the inside of the liner and that there are even fewer in color. I'm glad you were able to use the motion picture footage of the interior. Do you know if that was filmed on board or was a studio re-creation? Either way it's still valuable in giving us a sense of the Bremen's interior.
    35
  17. Thank you Cash and Kunami and Violet for taking us with you! It's fun to see what people do in New York; so different from my experience of growing up with a soybean field behind the house---and we lived in town!
    32
  18. Thank you for sharing all this , Cash. You are an inspiration, guide, and mentor. I might be considered almost the opposite of you as I'm not an entrepeneur and I assume leadership when there is no one else to do it---and I've found I'm very good at it but don't have the natural inclination. Some people such as yourself are born "starters" and leaders and some such as myself are what I call strong followers---and there's room and need for both types. Thanks for sharing your experiences and outlooks, Cash. I think you and even I with our different approaches and strengths can help people figure what works best for them.

  19. Fascinating video with so much spoken and visual information. This may seem to be a small point but I especially noticed the comment that when the Olympic returned to service in May of 1912 there were only 500 passengers and 900 crew. Ordinarily there would have been a huge number of people in steerage. I wonder how many Third Class passengers, if any, were aboard the Olympic for that crossing. It would be interesting to know how far in advance Third Class passengers were booked and where those passengers were that would have been aboard the Olympic had not the Titanic sank. Maybe travel agents or White Star staff re-routed those people to other liners in the White Star fleet or even to the ships of other lines if White Star was out of space?
    26
  20. What a pleasure to see these houses existing now to see the beautiful exteriors and interiors in color. I'm glad these wonderful places are still for us to enjoy and thank you, Ken, for making them known to us.
    21
  21. Cash, I'm sorry you had such a bad experience with the first apartment but it sounds like it was a learning experience and one that you've shared with others so something good has from it. Now...when you have bathtup enclosed with marble on three sides and only one end open you don't have a bathtub, you have a sarcoghagus.
    21
  22. The whole place is great but I especially liked the staircase area with that huge stained glass window.
    21
  23. Thank you, Mike, for all that went into this video: it was a great session of cringe-worthy ships! The worn-out Australis appeals to me in the same way I like abandoned, somewhat dilapidated mansions. As with an unoccupied house showing its years, the same with an ocean liner that is at the end of its career.
    21
  24. What a place! And another one completely new to me! The house and grounds are extra interesting with their connection to motion pictures. The way the grounds have been documented in movies reminds me of how the interiors and even exteriors of the ocean liner Ile de France were recorded for posterity in the movie "The Last Voyage" which was filmed aboard the liner. The intention was for entertainment, but movies have been useful in preserving history even if it was unintentional. I'm glad that some of the mansion featured here is still in existence.
    18
  25. Maybe I'm too picky but I don't like how the windows or windowpanes are so small. You have a spectacular view but have to look at it through all those metal window frames. It's like looking through a cage. The rest of the apartment and building are wonderful. As a book lover it pleases me to to see places in the building that have so many books.
    18
  26. I grew up in small-town, have never lived in a city and have never gotten accustomed to tall buildings. If there are any third-floor penthouses, I'm interested! -- I read a biography of Marjorie Merriweather Post and I recall how when Marjorie was a young girl her foot got caught in a railroad track and a train was approaching. Another girl who was Marjorie's friend pulled her loose and saved her life. In appreciation of her friend's courage Marjorie made sure that her friend was never in any financial need throughout her entire life.
    18
  27. I noticed that Ronaele, designed by an architect named Trumbauer, bears a strong resemblance to the mansion used for the TV mini-series version of Stephen King's novel "My Life at Rose Red -- The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer". Probably just coincidence but we have two houses that bear a strong resemblance to one another and two similar names are connected with the houses: Trumbauer and Rimbauer. I wonder how much Stephen King may have known about Ronaele when he wrote about Rose Red.
    18
  28. A terrific house. It's grand and big, but not gaudy or tacky ---and it's still standing. I'll take the tower sitting room off of Mr. Hecker's bedroom. That would be my little library and I would have a writing table there also.
    17
  29. Both apartments are great. I'm not a fan of two-burner stoves but I've noticed I never use more than two anyway. Cash, you probably don't have time to read for enjoyment but I started a spooky novel that might be just right for you and your viewers: "The Graveyard Apartment" by Mariko Koike and translated from the Japanese to English by Deborah Boliver Boehm. A young couple in Tokyo along with their kindergarten-age daughter move into a new apartment building located next to a cemetery and strange things start to happen...
    17
  30. A fascinating story and well illstrated with valuable pictures. For me the apartment is a little too much like a mausoleum. Some of those interiors are so "busy" and so big that it doesn't seem like a home. Still a lot of people lived there and I hope they enjoyed their time there. Ken, this comment is going back a little to your recent video "The Mysterious Astor Orphans and the Mansion They Called Home". I just started reading the memoir "Astor Orphan" by Alexandra Aldrich, a descendant of the Astors who grew up in the Rokesbury mansion during the time when it had fallen into disrepair . I've only read a little of the book so far, but it's a fascinating account of the house and the family in it. There's a strong similarity to what happened with the Beales at Grey Gardens but "The Astor Orphan" is still a separate, unique story as told by someone who grew up in famous and historical American house.
    16
  31. Outstanding work, Mike! This is the work of a professional. This video could be used for teaching in a college class. I'm glad you mentioned Elaine Kaplan. Not only did she have to deal with the unwillingness of many businesses at that time to hire women, Mrs. Kaplan also had to deal with barriers because she was of the Jewish faith. Gibbs & Cox looked for the best in employees regardless of sex, religion or race.
    15
  32. WOO-HOO! The neighborhood has Dunkin' Donuts AND Starbucks: a double-barrelled CASH BASH! Great apartment, great views though the bathrooms have mirrors over the toilets which gives the wrong kind of views if you get my drift. Just looking out the windows of these apartments and seeing the changing light and sky would be free entertainment. The lounge area looks great with all those books; find a book and a chair by the window and a good time is ahead.
    14
  33. Hi, Mike! I'm glad I found your channel and I just now subscribed. I've seen your video on the Titanic then found this one. Wow! I respect and admire the amount of time and effort that goes into your videos. I've been an ocean liner enthusiast since I saw "The Poseidon Adventure" on Christmas Day of 1972 when I was 11 but you had information and photos that are new even to me! Very informative and entertaining. I know that hindsight is 20/20 but when I see photos of the Lusitania there just seems to be a sense that something bad is going to happen, there's a foreboding that goes with that ship. Maybe just my imagination... Something I'd like to suggest for an upcoming video is one about the post-war Ile de France. You probably have seen the 1960 movie "The Last Voyage" that was filmed aboard the Ile de France just before she was scrapped. Some liner lovers hate the movie but I see it as a terrific movie and one that provides an extraordinary amount of documentation about the ship on which it was filmed. The camera takes us from all the way down in the boiler room up to the bridge and top of the ship and so much of the interior is shown. "The Last Voyage" is a treasure chest of visual information. I'm looking forward to watching your next video!
    14
  34. Maybe this is more of the myth, but I've heard that Sarah Winchester invented sinks with built-in washboards and that it was her idea to have kitchen counters with curved, raised fronts to keep things from spilling to the floor.
    14
  35. Cash, this may help with your sock drawer: I fold over each pair of socks then put a rubber band around the socks. Another method is to tuck one sock inside another. I'm sort of color blind so I like to get socks with patterns or a logo; helps me see what goes with what.
    13
  36. Good for you, Cash, for not giving into your now- or soon-to-be-former landlord. I think you did the right thing and if you need to relocate again in a year: Well, you done it before and can do it again.
    12
  37. That narrow space (laundry area) ending with a doorway into the next apartment reminds of how in "Rosemary's Baby"" the closet at the end of the hall had a door in the back that led into the next apartment. Something that was unclear to me: is the laundry area a shared space between the two bathrooms of the two apartments? Do the tenant of both apartments use the washer and drier?
    12
  38. Great video, Ken -- as always! I hope there will be a follow-up with still more Manhattan mansions. Wonderful houses, but all of them are too much for me (especially as arthritis makes walking a bit of a challenge!) though I find the interiors of the Frick mansion more my style: they're simpler and more restrained than many others. If I was to have a home in Manhattan I"d like to have an apartment in the Dakota. Also, Ken, I've recommended the fiction and non-fiction books of Louis Auchincloss for people interested in the wealthy of New York. As I watched today's video I was reminded of a novel by another author and that is also about the wealthy of New York City and that I'd like to recommend: "The Lady Who Loved New York" by R. L. Gordon, published in 1977.
    12
  39. Truly a remarkable house, one designed and built according to a philosophy...and I'm so glad this one was saved. Thank you, Ken for the history and tour. --- Fun fact: actress Anne Baxter was the granddaughter of Frank Lloyd Wright. Ken, I saw you and Dalton in the recent "Hoarders" episode and I want to thank you even more for the huge amount of work you did for your friend Bob both inside his house for cleaning and clearing, and outside of his house serving as advocates and case workers, doing so much on his behalf. If that isn't true friendship and genuine concern for a fellow human being in need of help then I don't know what is. Many blessings to you and Dalton!
    12
  40. Whew! Glad the fall wasn't worse, Cash.---Sounds odd but years ago Smithsonian magazine had an article about staircases which made me aware of what's safe and what isn't. The staircase here may look good to some people but I see a safety hazard. Good thing it has a metal railing. Getting furniture to the second room could be a problem.---Kitchen looks good but is impractical with cabinets far too high. With dishes etc. on the shelf it will look like a garage sale and items there will have to be cleaned periodically. Second bedroom needs cleaning or painting because you can see where the bed had been against the wall. Bathroom drawer makes me wonder what else may have been damaged or worked too hard. Some concerns and drawbacks but still a good place for the right people.
    11
  41. What a remarkable house with a remarkable location and shape. Beautiful place. I think I'll pick the Gold Room as my favorite. Seriously, I wonder if the Gold Room provided some inspiration for the room of the same name in the Stanley Kubrick's movie version of "The Shining". Some believe that the movie has references to America being on the Gold Standard. In that famous ending that shows a picture taken at the 1921 Fourth of July ball at the Overlook Hotel, some of the people in the photograph have since been identified as prominent people of the era and who might have been guests at the Belmonts' home such as one of President Wilson's daughters. How sad and silly that there was a feud or competition between Mrs. Belmont and Mrs. Roosevelt. I hope people have moved beyond that sort of thing, but even though architectural and clothing styles have changed, human nature apparently hasn't!
    11
  42. Something about the house makes me think this was a happy place.
    11
  43. Don't ask me why but as I was watching I was reminded of the movie "The Sentinel" from the 1970's in which a young woman rents an apartment in New York and learns that the apartment is the gateway to Hell and that she is to watch over it. Ava Gardner played the leasing agent or broker. Cash, if there's ever a re-make of "The Sentinel" you should have a cameo role in the film as the person showing the apartment----and the name CASH JORDAN should have top billing in the opening credits with your name over the title. Seems perfectly logical to me!

  44. Edward Kenworth Carlilse: a businessman and he was a real bit of business himself.
    9
  45. Very interesting! Just now found your channel. I enjoy those might-have-beens and what-ifs. During the video I was reminded of a picture I saw years ago of how the Queen Mary might have looked: the drawing or painting showed hull 543 looking much as we know it now as the Queen Mary but the last third or last quarter of the ship looked like aft portion of the Aquitania including the counter stern. I'm going to check out the website you mentioned.
    9
  46. Ken, I'm reeling from this one. What an extraordinary history of the house and of the family. Some of the interiors remind me of those in the A.T. Stewart mansion in Manhattan. (Maybe you could make a video of that house also.) I'm an ocean liner enthusiast and I have a book called "Ravenscrag" which has some information about the Allan steamship line. I haven't read the book yet but after seeing your video I can tell I'm in for quite a real-life story. The Allan Line may not have been as big as Cunard or White Star or Canadian-Pacific but they had a pair of beautiful liners called the Alsatian and the Calgarian. The Calgarian was lost in World War I and the Alsatian later went to the Canadian-Pacific Line to become the Empress of France.
    9
  47. Mixed response for me: bedroom should have a full bath. The well or shaft of light and air is nice BUT...I think of how there could be a floor in there and at least one more room added to the apartment. There's a lot of space to heat and cool but that isn't being used. Not quite the apartment for me but someone is going to love living there.
    9
  48. Beautiful place and I think I'll pick the library as my favorite room. -- I wasn't born there, but I like to think of myself as an honorary thrifty New Englander: Had I lived in and run the Poor mansion I would have used a good portion of the gardens for growing food for the estate and would have had some cows and chickens as well.
    9
  49. The view from the apartment reminds me of the view from James Stewart's apartment in the Alfred Hitchcock movie "Rear Window".
    9
  50. I'm a book lover and have boxes of unread books in my efficiency apartment, but Evergreen mansion is book-loving on steroids! And good for the people who brought and kept all those books in the house. --- I've seen the front of Evergreen before, hadn't realized how much there is to the house. Wonderful place.
    8
  51. Extra thumbs-up, Ken! This is one of your most enjoyable videos. It was good to learn about Mr. Hilton doing so much with his wealth and opportunities and to learn about architect Paul Walker Jr., giving context to and added appreciation for the house. I hope you will make a video about Mr. Williams. I'm a big fan of those 1930's and 40's Hollywood houses with their white-painted brick and stone and with that French style and I LOVE this house! I would be happy to live in the Hilton house. There may not be enough photos and documentation for a whole video, but I've become curious about the house in which Jean Harlow lived for a time and that was called "the whitest house in the world" or something like that. I've seen some 1930's pictures from Architectrual Digest and it was very nice on the inside. The house is still standing and apparently much altered and is surrounded by trees and foliage that make it invisible from the street.
    7
  52. Thoroughly enjoyed this, Ken. Like others I knew the house had been demolished, never knew another house stood there afterward. Sad that both houses are gone, but it's not surprising in light of the situation and I'll say tha the Statehouse does look good with its expansions. I've read the John Hancock like the high life, having a coat with diamond buttons on it. --- Ken, your video has me thinking of a book I read in school many years ago and that you and your viewers may have read also: "Johnny Tremain" by Esther Forbes, the story of a boy who is learning to be a silversmith in Boston at the time of the American Revolution. Excellent book for young and not-so-young readers.
    7
  53. All those terraces are quite a sight, and as a person who has arthritis the most I could do with them is just enjoy the view from the top level! More seriously it makes me wonder how much of the terraces and gardens and grounds and of the house itself were actually used and enjoyed by the residents. I hope that at least some of the fixture and fittings of the house was removed and re-purposed. In the town where I live we have the Re-Store for just that purpose and I think it may be connected with the Goodwill organization.
    7
  54. Just a tiny part of a beautiful home, but I noticed how at 4:15 we see an interior door with window panes in it, allowing for natural light to extend further into the interior even when the door is closed.
    7
  55. The second apartment for me! The first one is nice but you can tell a room with a bay window has been divided in an odd way. Cash, that was one nice-looking pen you were using at 8:35. I'm glad to see that even though you're a computer/camera/technology person you were using a nice old-fashioned writing instrument. I looked several times and I think your pen is a ball-point or maybe a gel pen. Here a suggestion, Cash: When you reach 200, 000 subscribers maybe buy yourself a nice fountain pen to commemorate the occasion.
    7
  56. Disgraceful that the Kahn's had to deal with anti-Semitism. I hope things went better for them on Long Island.
    7
  57. Thank you for sharing even the misadventure, Cash. Someone will learn from this and avoid being in the same situation.
    6
  58. Being up that high I wonder if the view from the apartment windows is ever obscured by a low cloud ceiling. Being on the second or third floor is more my style.
    6
  59. I'll take the Dining Room or the Gold Room; the others are too much for me. I've read quite a bit about the mansions of the U.S. but I don't recall ever hearing about Idle Hour before. Thank you, Ken, for introducing us to this lesser-known Vanderbilt house!
    6
  60. I enjoy seeing the huge mansions of people such as the Vanderbilts, but it's also nice to see a house that is on a smaller, more human scale. I wonder what the reasoning was for changing the beautiful exterior. I also wonder what the inside looks like. I hope it hasn't been divided and subdivided in apartments with stark white walls and miniscule kitchen areas bathrooms with too many mirrors like I see on videos about N.Y.C. apartments.-- I'd like to read one of Paul Ford's novels. He's an author I'd not heard of before; maybe a forerunner of Louis Auchincloss, another high-society author and who died in 2010.
    6
  61. Now that's the way to get your point across! Beautiful images of the liners and it's great to see them together and get a sense of scale as well as design. Some liners are or were bigger than others but there is no such thing as a small ocean liner!
    6
  62. Thanks for taking us along, Cash! I'm already looking forward to the sequel!---I used to get queazy when reading in a moving car but grew out of it.---Same here. I don't drive much. I don't drive at all but I keep my license up to date for ID. I always say that I can drive well enough to get someone to the hospital--and create some new patients along the way!
    6
  63. Both excellent houses, but my preference is Belcaro. --- And speaking of Pittsburgh and families involved in steel production, I'd like to recommend the 1942 novel "The Valley of Decision" by Marcia Davenport. It starts in 1879 when a young Irish girl becomes a servant in the house of a wealthy Pittsburgh family and is about how her life becomes involved with the lives of the family she works for and also about people in her own family, how she is a bridge between what might be considered two different cultures in the same town. The story goes to the early days of World War II. One part is about when ice-dammed waters in the mountains hit the city. Gregory Peck and Jessica Tandy are in the movie. Great story! As good now as when first written.
    6
  64. I could make a residence out of just that upstairs hallway!
    6
  65. All of the homes here are great but, I think I'd go with Hillwood. I like the penthouse on Fifth but, I don't like heights! This is an obscure house but, here goes: I saw an "America's Castles" episode about the Vanderbilt mansion in Hyde Park along the Hudson River. There were one or two photographs of the mansion that first stood on that location. It has been owned by the Astors and the design was based on the White House though a little more ornate. I'd like to know more about that lost Astor house but I suspect there isn't much surviving information.
    6
  66. Loved it, Ken. A remarkable house and an even more remarkable woman. Great to see someone make their life useful and it was an added treat to see and hear Mrs. Sabin speaking. --- Lately there was a lot of coverage about possibly demolishing the house where Marilyn Monroe lived at the time of her death and of giving the house historic landmark status. Maybe the subject for an upcoming video?
    6
  67. All of the rooms were in good taste: beautiful and grand but on a human scale. I would call the Homestead a particularly liveable place.
    6
  68. I can see how some people would be disturbed at part of English houses or entire houses being shipped to America, but doing so has preserved so much that might have been lost and especially after World War II when many old English houses were actually blown up. The loss is appalling. I read about this in the book "No Voice From the Hall -- Early Memories of a Country House Snooper" by John Harris, 1998. Ken , this is a different kind of house and in a much different situation, but would you consider, if possible, making a video about Grey Gardens?

  69. This apartment has a lot going for it but I saw one very serious flaw: As soon as you enter the apartment through the front door you're standing at the top of a flight of stairs immediately to the left and with no gate or barrier at the top of the stairs. It would be very easy for someone to walk into the apartment, take just one or two steps and then fall down a flight of stairs. The entrance area of this apartment is dangerous.

  70. Both apartments have a lot going for them. I'm curious about that outside stairway going down from the patio in back. I'm guessing the stairs lead to the laundry and storage areas and I'm wondering if the patio really is private for the apartment connected to it or is accessible to all the other tenants.

  71. As they said in the DC and Marvel horror comics I read back in the 1970's: "AAAIIIEEEEEEE!" I just saw Cash Jordan drink Dunkin Donuts coffee. I don't know how but in a sinister way the universe got out of line and I was looking into some hideous parallel dimension. I think I need a hug now.---That being said, what a great neighborhood and apartment! The view: just looking out the window at the sky and clouds, the effect of light on the buildings close by or far away, at different times of day or the year would be a great experience.

  72. Fascinating ---as always! Such a beautiful house yet the setting for so much sadness and tragedy. Ken, you and your viewers might be interested in the fascinating books "This Crazy Thing Called Love: the Golden World and Fatal Marriage of Ann and Billy Woodward" by Susan Braudy, published in 1992. It's a can't-put-it-down book and shows how Ann Woodward's killing of her husband really was a terrible accident. Mr. Woodward's death was a fluke because Ann was using a gun that ordinarily wouldn't have had the power to kill her husband.

  73. Loved it, Ken! I've long been interested in the White House and its history. Thank you for all the time and work that went into this video. It was a pleasure to watch and listen to. Whatever one's politics the White House is a fascinating house. --- I've read that Abigail Adams hung up the washing to dry in one of the unfinished rooms of the mansion. I've also read that Mary Lincoln was doing some decorating during the Civil War and Abraham Lincoln' didn't approve of "...flubdubs for this damned old house". Jacqueline Kennedy did so much for the Executive Mansion, but the work she started continued after she left and was still being done by Pat Nixon. -- Some of the Tiffany interiors look absoutely...well, interesting...but it would have been something to see them in real life or in color photographs. --- BTW I was suprised to see at 7:26 a pair of menorahs of the Jewish faith on the mantelpiece. I wonder the story is behind them.

  74. Thank you for all the time and work that went into this production. I had a great time watching this. This may be open to debate but I've read that the Queen Mary was an updated version of the Berengaria with a deck plan similar to that of the Aquitania. Had the Elizabeth entered service as planned maybe she would have become the better-known of the almost-sister ships. I've read that thought the first Mauretania was very popular it was actually the Lusitania that had been more popular up to the time of her sinking in 1915. I knew a man, now deceased, who was on the Queen Mary when she was a transport. He thought that it would be a good idea to get the lowest bunk to the floor because there was less motion lower down and less chance of being seasick. The drawback was that when someone above him was throwing up....well, you know where it went. Yech. When they arrived in England those men must have been in a state of sleep deprivation and exhaustion. Just speculation but even though the Seawise University may have been in excellent shape with up-to-date safety features when ready for service, I question how successful she would have been: would enough people be interested in an educational cruise ship to make it profitable? Still many might have gone just for the cruise part. Then there's the cost of maintaining a very large liner that was already well along in years. Then there was the huge increase in fuel costs in the 1970's and increasingly high safety standards. Also how many ports could accommodate a liner nearly the size of the Empire State Building? I wonder if the Seawise University would have been in service for more than a few years.

  75. Wonderful presentation, Ken! I appreciate learning about the people who designed and built the remarkable houses you feature. I hope you'll come visit we Hoosiers here in Indiana. Down along the Ohio River and across from Kentucky we have the Lanier House in Madison, Indiana. It's a restored mansion overlooking the river and to the side of the central hall is a curving staircase set in a space that could be used as a missile silo! It's a LONG way from top to bottom. Madison went through a long period of having much of its downtown closed up because of economic conditions related to the steepness of the ground on which the railroad tracks were located and now parts of the town are a museum. Along with the Lanier house there is the Shrewsbury house and other places to visit that had become unintentional time capsules.

  76. I think I got lost in the apartment just watching the video! Not the place for me but a winner for someone else. I don't go for that stove that's up against a wall on the left side. For cooking you need elbow room on both sides. As a left-handed person that stove would not work fo rme. The long breakfast shelf? No, Cash, that can be used a shrine to your god---and it's long enough to be a bookshelft too!

  77. Fascinating to hear Poe's mental state discussed from a modern point of view! Dr. Grande, if you haven't looked into it already I would like to recommend Hervey Allens' biography "Israfel--The Life and Times of Edgar Allan Poe" from 1934, an excellent book with lots of information and many illustrations including a photo of the house that inspired the House of Usher. There's not much information about Poe's biological family but from what little is said of Poe's sister it appears she was developmentally disabled. Some other authors I would like to suggest for upcoming videos are Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton.

  78. Did you say built-in bookshelves? A library? Washer and drier? Great building and neighborhood? This country cousin who gets weirded out by anything higher than the third floor sees a winner. Only drawback for me: mirror right over the toilet. That's one view I can do without!---Once again, Cash, I appreciate how you give practical advice such as maybe staying put if someone is taking classes online.
    3
  79. Having recently had arthroscopic surgery on my knee and still having to walk with a cane I think the spiral staircase would work better for me as a set of bookshelves. I'm at a point and condition in life where I need an elevator but this apartment is a winner for someone.

  80. In the early 70's my family lived in a suburb of Cleveland. Sometimes when going for a drive we would go along the shore of Lake Erie and in one area there were several mansions like Bicknell though maybe not quite as large and that were probably from the same era. I wish I could better remember just where that area of beautiful houses was located, but maybe someone knows about this and can add a comment. It would be great to see those houses again.
    3
  81. i don't know why it is but here in Bloomington, Indiana/mini Manhattan a huge number of new apartments geared toward college students have been built and more buildings are on the way. For some reason many new buildings around here are required to have retail space on the ground floor yet there are buildings who ground floors have been empty for years now. I don't understand how it all works but even I can tell that eventually there will be too many apartments. May take a while: I was told that if you have around 30% occupancy here you can still get by but maybe that's because of the outrageous rents. That and something about taxes and selling a building after only a few years. Too we're moving toward a time when there will be fewer college students because of people having fewer children. Looks like we're moving to a time of lots of empty apartments and/or subsidized housing.
    3
  82. Great old place. Something that I hope can be undone is the amount of woodwork and metal work that has been covered in white paint such as the ceiling beams, the doors the metal around the doorknobs. I'm thinking there's a lot of varnished wood and maybe brass under the white paint and having it visible again would give the apartment a different look.
    3
  83. Something I'm not quite clear about: for exactly how long was the Gates mansion standing? What was the date of compmletion?
    3
  84. I especially like your comment about using the term "physical distancing". No need to downplay it or make it sound better than it is by calling it social distancing. Let's just call the situation what it truly is: physical distancing.
    3
  85. Odd to walk into the apartment and face a kind of dead space and a large one at that. Might have been a good location for the bathroom or to have had the kitchen further back. I agree with one and earlier comment: the dead space could be a storage and home office area. Some curtains or a screen could make it into a separate room.
    3
  86. Whew! That's a narrow space for the toilet. I live in a small efficiency and in my bathroom the toilet is in a space not quite 30 inches across. That's actually do-able but 24 inches? No so sure... This may be an apartment for the very skinny!
    3
  87. Wonderful places in a terrific building. I'm still a small-town Hoosier from Indiana: those apartments make me feel like I'm in an airplane. Would there possibly be a penthouse for me---down on the third floor?
    3
  88. A tragedy. Along with others I want to commend you for the respectful way you handled this situation.---Also I'm curious about the building itself. Do you know what purpose it was built for and why it's in such an isolated place?
    2
  89. Bumpkin Alert. Rube Warning. I'm a country-cousin type and being that high up and with floor to ceiling windows would be more than I could handle and I would never go out on the balcony or roof BUT...the first bedroom in the second apartment, where there could be a space at the foot of the bed by the floor-to-ceiling window: what a great spot for a comfortable armchair and a table with a stack of books. What a pleasure it would be to sit there in the sunshine and read or to look at the view and changing sky----if you're okay with being up IN the sky yourself!
    2
  90. What with the way Long Island mansions were torn down after World War II I'm a little surprised Farnsworth lasted as long as it did. Maybe it's because I'm from a rural background, but when I see that vast landscaping, along with the gardens I think of how a lot of food could be grown there and the estate be close to if not self-sufficient and have something to share with others. My best recollection is that the Florham estate was much like that, an almost self-contained, self-supported place.
    2
  91. Such a remarkable house and only a few photos to tell of it. At least parts of the house were salvaged though I wonder how many people know today that part of their home may have once been part of the Leiter mansion. It's not a pleasant suggestion, but maybe the Leiters were shut of out Chicago high society (at least a new boom town's version of high society) because they had what might considered a Jewish name. I read Nigel Nicolson's biography of Mary Leiter who became Vicereine of India, but nothing specific was said of the family's religious affiliation if any.
    2
  92. Cash, I'm puzzled by medicine cabinets that have a mirror inside in the back. I've never seen that until I began watching your videos but I'm sure it's not unique to New York City. The loft: I wouldn't use it for sleeping; won't climb up and down the ladder so I can go back and forth between kitchen and bathroom or working at the computer, etc.. For me it would be an over-sized storage area.
    2
  93. Nice neighborhood and nice apartment. The style of bathroom fixtures doesn't concern me particularly as I grew up in an older house which had fixtures from different eras, just give me a clean bathroom (bathtub preferred for a good, hot soak) and not TOO many mirrors. Really, I somewhat prefer older-style fixtures---but not so old that it means big piece of wood with a round hole in a tiny structure behind the house or something kept under the bed!---I'm really not a sofa person so I'd have the bed away from the kitchen area and get a regular table. It would be nice to sit there and eat a meal and watch the scene outside.
    2
  94. Cash, it's all clear to me now: Because you've given sink sprayers so much publicity, I'm going to start buying shares of stock in companies that make sink sprayers. Let's all do it and get rich, rich, RICH!! Then all of us Cash Jordan subscribers can afford to live in New York.---P.S. I'm happy to give this video its 400th Like and I'm looking forward to your next video.
    2
  95. Both residences are great, but I lean more toward the Beaux Arts house and I would choose grandfather Crocker's Second Empire house in San Francisco over that.
    2
  96. Wow! Mike, you have done yourself proud: I am so impressed with the talent and self-discipline and attention to detail and with the amount of information that went into making this video. I've known of and have seen pictures of the Chusan but your video has given me so much knowledge of the ship and so much appreciation of her. Well done! I know I'll enjoy seeing and learning about any liner you feature. Two that I would especially enjoying seeing are the postwar Ile de France (also known as the S.S. Claridon!) and the Dominion Monarch.
    2
  97. That style and the woodwork make me think of the Dakota though probably many other places look something like this apartment also. I'd like to turn the bedroom into a home library and have a comfortable armchair and a table by the window and then settle down and read the books I've been accumulating for years!
    2
  98. The floorplan isn't the same, but the exterior of the house reminds me of Seaview Terrace which many of as we were growing up knew as Collinwood Manor. Sounds like the Schell house was a happy place while Mr. Schell was still living.
    2
  99. Both apartments are great and I love the views! I would go for the smaller one. The penthouse is super BUT....for me the big open space above the kitchen is simply unuseable space that you still to have pay to heat and cool. I find the smaller apartment more practical. That's the one for me.
    2
  100. A couple of people have made comments comparing Wingwood to the Winchester house in California. I'm thinking of Shirley Jackson's "The Haunting of Hill House" in which the Crain mansion was deliberately "off" with the intention of causing confusion and unease.
    2
  101. Mr. Armour may not have been good to his workers, but give him credit for putting his affairs in order and paying off his debts. Too I'm glad his wife and daughter were provided for. Ken, you menioned Jane Addams's involvement in the strike situation. She operated Hull House, what might be considered a community center that started out in a 19th century home originally owned by a man named Hull. The original part of Hull House still stands in Chicago as a museum along with some office and conference space. Jane Addams and her work and Hull House might be an interesting topic for a future video.
    2
  102. No medicine cabinet? That means there will be no need for medicine in the future. Yaaayyyy!---Just got of the descending clothes storage but it looks like someone learned the Kon Mari method of folding clothes.
    2
  103. I could live in that house. It's big and grand yet simple and on a reasonable scale. I liked how in one of the photographs we can see clothing drying out on the clothes line!
    2
  104. Great place! Cash, I'm glad I found your channel. Always interesting to watch and listen to and I'm learning things from your videos. One thing I've learned is a funny difference between Manhattan and Bloomington, Indiana: on the ground floor in Manhattan people are concerned about rats. I live on a second floor in Bloomington with a door that opens directly outside and though I live just off the square I once almost walked into a possum that was outside my door and sometimes I smell skunks in the morning!
    2
  105. Stay warm in New York, Cash! Put on layers. It's 6 degrees Fahrenheit here in mini Manhattan/Bloomington, Indiana, so it must be even colder in the real Manhattan!
    2
  106. The New York apartment for me doesn't actually exist: I want the apartment that Rosemary and Guy moved into in the movie "Rosemary's Baby". Cash, I live in Bloomington, Indiana, which Habitat for Humanity found, at that time anyway, to be the least affordable city in the United States because people were paying half of their income for housing. I'm amazed at the apartment buildings that keep being built here, luxury apartments for college students. There's a zoning rule that some or all of these new buildings have to have commercial space on the ground floors. Some of those business spaces I pass by have been empty since the buildings opened and probably will stay that way. Indiana University is huge and right in the center of town and hires many people but those people can't afford to live in town or have to live far from their workplace. Even before Covid and the university going online for much of the year I was wondering how much longer expensive student housing can keep being built before there are too many apartments. We may be at that point now because of the virus situation.
    2
  107. Thank you, Cash and family, for having us over for a visit!
    2
  108. Very interesting and informative! Thank you, Cash. I've come to realize I could never live in NYC, it would be overwhelming for a rural type such as myself but I love to experience the city through your videos. Here in the university town of Bloomington, Indiana, rents are sky-high because of so many college students many of whom have a lot of money one way or another. Classes are now online until next February and I wonder how many students will just stay with online classes which are cheaper than in-person. You've gotten me curious about the rental situation in this type of environment: how may landlords are are willing to be more flexible and how many apartments are just empty. Also: Yes! Please! Bring on the hoarder apartments and other awful ones. AND...that clear spiral staircase is ridiculous and dangerous!
    2
  109. Happy birthday, Mrs. Jordan! I hope you have a great day and a great new year in your life. Interesting neighborhood but this apartment isn't quite the one for me. I'm very big on fire safety and having stove burners only inches away from the wall makes me very uncomfortable. Having the small kitchen in a separate odd-shaped room doesn't work for me but I can see that this apartment would be great for people who don't do a lot of cooking and who are young enough to climb all those stairs!
    2
  110. I see a winner here! The rear area on the second floor could be a home office as suggested and also it would be a great place to have bookshelves for a home library. Sunlight damages books so that shaded place would be great for them but I'd want a comfortable armchair by a window for when I'm reading a book.
    2
  111. Question for Cash and other New Yorkers: I was noticing that many of the buildings in the neighborhood are cleary from the 1800's and the earlier part of the 1900's. Were those structures built to be residential only and the businesses added later on or were they always a combination? I love those built-in bookshelves/shrine area but not up in the windowless loft. If the shelve were downstairs there could have been a great home library area but I guess not that many people anymore have or read many physical books. That IS a lot of shelf space and I suspect more than many people would want. I don't own enough to use all that upstairs storage space. The apartment isn't quite for me but someone is going to love living there.
    2
  112. Cash, this may be a little off-topic but you and your viewers may be interested in a book I'm reading: "Alone Together--A History of New York's Early Apartments" by Elizabeth Collins Cromley; Cornell University Press, 1990. The book is about how the concept of multi-resident, multi-family buildings was introduced to New York in the mid-19th century from Europe and had to be adapted to American lifestyles and values and especially in Manhattan. In the mid-1800's in Manhattan there was a shortage of stand-alone, single family houses along with a greatly expanding population. Some people believed that living in an apartment house would destroy morals and families, and the public had to get accustomed to the concept of apartment living.
    2
  113. Gorgeous place. And so many outstanding photographs. I wonder that the story is just behind the photographs; who made the decision to document the house so thoroughly and so well. I noticed that circular opening in the floor in the rotunda area and that a higher metal railing had been placed around the original railing. Good idea; that first railing looked nice, but someone leaning over to admire the rotunda could have taken a terrible fall.
    2
  114. I want to know what's going on with the condensation on the windows of the second apartment. I can see that being a problem.
    1
  115. I like having the bookshelves there in the hallway! Very handy especially now when some libraries may be closed and books are so expensive to buy. Cash or anyone else watching: is that common in New York to have a kind of Little Free Library in an apartment building?
    1
  116. Always a pleasure to watch your videos, Cash. Have a great holiday and may 2021 be your best year yet, a year of health, peace, success and satisfaction.
    1
  117. Privacy and solitude are great but as I'm approaching 60 and have had the experience of being alone in my place after surgery I've become aware of the value of having someone else around in case of illness or accident. I would like to share a place with someone/s and I think there can be an arrangement where there's a balance of space and time for oneself and of interacting with other people. If the people sharing a place have the same priorities I'm sure something can be arranged that will work for everyone.
    1
  118. Thank you Cash and Mrs. Jordan and Violet for taking us along with you! ---Good info too about the outlet mall. I'm here in Bloomington, IN, (mini-Manhattan) with the Indiana University students moving in in big numbers for the first time since of August of 2019 and the population increasing by about 40 K. I'm just proceeding with caution for now and enjoyng the trip with the Jordans!
    1
  119. It's always interesting, Cash; we're not just entertained but informed and educated from your videos. I'd like to know more about that places with the books in front! I want to know about books even where I don't live! I can think of about ten Little Free Libraries in my area but I'm having a six-month book ban because I already have too many books! P.S.---I like the reading room/library in the apartment building and the apartment is great but those bathroom colors...well, not quite for me!
    1
  120. I may be the odd viewer out here but: Great apartment but too much terrace for me. It looks like the view is more terrace than the surrounding community and the views of Manhattan further away. For most if not all of the apartment you have to go outside to really see the view. I would actually do better with the apartment upstairs.
    1
  121. I noticed how much bathroom space is mirrored, maybe a little too much. I read a comment once that are some things you do in a bathroom that you don't want to see yourself doing. After being locked out of my apartment just once I started wearing an extra key around my neck. The only time I remove it is when I get a haircut. That maybe a little extreme for some people if I need a key, I have it.
    1
  122. Nice apartment...mostly...but that big open space to me is a waste of space. Too toward the inside of the building and overlooking the kitchen there was an alcove (?) on the second level that might be an odd storage space in an odd location. The bedrooms are so narrow. The location is good, the apartment is nice but odd. It will work for someone but it's not quite for me.
    1
  123. THANK YOU, Cash, for sharing your own experiences and outlook about work, success, failure---and success from what seems to be failure. In the 1959 movie "The Best of Everything", about people in the New York publishing business, Amanda (Joan Crawford) says to Greg (Susie Parker), "Greg, I've had more experience than you and for experience to be of value someone, somehow must learn by it". In an ad for her Master Class, author Margaret Atwood said, 'You become a writer by writing. There is no other way. So do it. Do it more. Do it better. Fail. Fail better." This can apply to so many people involved in so many pursuits. Cash, I KNOW that what you said today will be a blessing in the lives of many people.
    1
  124. I find the view from the apartment to be dreary and those open staircases that are something like ladders make me uneasy. With all that room I would have liked to have seen a washer and drier but overall a great place for the right person. Not interested in bars but if there were second-hand bookshops nearby or a branch of the library; one nice, family-style restaurant and a nearby grocery store I would be a happy resident!
    1
  125. "....a shrine to your god". And the mantlepiece shrine would have a little icon of Cash Jordan the patron saint of New York renters. I can tell that this apartment is now in its third century. It would be fascinating to look at this space down through the years to see what the interior was like and to see the people who lived there. I'm guessing the floor plan has changed a lot over time. Maybe the apartment was once a bedroom area or parlor?
    1
  126. Some appealing old places but I have an issue with stoves and sinks that are right next to a wall or refrigerator. It's awkward and, when it comes to stoves, I have a concern about fire safety when there isn't open space on either side of the stove.
    1
  127. Pretty nice place. Even better if there's a laundry room in the building. It seems like a small point but I like how the stove has some open space on either side. I don't like for stoves to be next to something with the the burners not even a foot away from the side of a refrigerator or cabinets or just the wall. For safety and convenience with a stove I like having some room on both sides.
    1
  128. Probably not an issue for many people but I dont like a stove that is next to a wall or the side of a refrigerator. I'm much more comfortable when the there is even a little counter space on either side of a stove. I think it's safer and also easier to keep the area clean.
    1
  129. Great places! IThis country cousin might consider overcoming being weirded-out by heights. The pantry in the first apartment has so much space I could use part of the pantry as a bookcase!
    1
  130. Interesting little room off the kitchen. I agree: maybe not a bedroom but could be a great home office. Too with the indirect light coming through the sliding glass, that room could be a retreat space for meditation or prayer or to just enjoy the quiet and solitude. And I know what you're thinking Cash: someone could up a shrine in there!
    1
  131. 100 K subscribers! Congratulations, Cash. You have enough subscribers to fill a sports stadium. Way 2 go! Wonderful apartment in a way-cool location. I'm not a TV or sofa person so there's plenty of room for me to have a comfortable armchair and bookshelves, a writing table and a small table or desk for the computer.
    1
  132. I'd say both apartments are equally good for the person living alone and for roommates. Being from a small town (we lived in the city limits but had a soybean field behind our house!) I'm a little off-kilter seeing a view higher than the third floor and not having woods and fields and trees or some combination thereof. I'm old enough now that living alone doesn't appeal to me the way it did when I was young so for safety and for company I'll take the two-bedroom.
    1
  133. With all those railings you and the height of the apartment you could save electricity by rigging a clothes line from one loft to another! Very nice place in an odd way but impractical for many people. Too I see a huge amount of open space, the heating and cooling of which has to be paid for but that serves no purpose. I would prefer much, much more floor space for a second level to the apartment.
    1
  134. Wonderful place! A small drawback is that the kitchen sink has right angles and corners rather than curves. That could be a cleaning issue but the sprayer might take care of cleaning those corners. If you're like me and still have paper documents and file folders, a two-drawer file cabinet could fit under the stairs and next to the kitchen area. For people who really enjoy cooking, the space under the stairs could accommodate a small bookcase for cookbooks.
    1
  135. I have around 20 boxes of books I haven't read and maybe a couple hundred more unread books that are not in boxes. I'd put in shelves and turn the loft into a home library then get a comfortable chair by one of those windows or outside and then finally READ the books I've been accumulating for years. A very special Christmas to you, Cash!
    1
  136. Thanks for the tour, Cash! You're turning me into an Indiana armchair New Yorker! Bloomington where I live with a huge university a few blocks from the town square in some ways could be a mini-Manhattan with the diversity of people and businesses including restaurants. We even have high rents! I've seen little shopping activity downtown. Someone said our College Mall is "like a ghost town". Macy's there is closing. With Christmas being the make-or-break time for many businesses I won't be surprised if we see more of them closing in the near future.
    1
  137. Thank you, Cash, for your videos. They are well produced, entertaining and provide valuable information that will make life better for people. You provide a real service to others and it's appreciated. Too I admire the way you also create more opporutnity for yourself in your line of work. Much success to you!
    1
  138. Whoa. Hold the phone. Serious ixnay on the third apartment. Did anyone else notice that the refrigerator is up against and blocking the door of the fusebox? Is that safe or legal? Deal-breaker for me. What else is wrong there?
    1
  139. Great space! Or maybe I should say spaces. So much can be done here. The one thing I would change is the mirrored closet doors in the bedroom. I do NOT want to see what I look like when I get out of bed in the morning!
    1
  140. Making that outdoor corner into a little garden is a nice....or you can turn that space into "...a shrine for your god".
    1
  141. The second house for me and in particular the living room. I could spend many happy hours there alone or with friends.
    1
  142. Nice little place! I like how the bathroom doesn't have the excessive amount of mirrored surface as in other apartments and doesn't have a mirror in the back of the medicine cabinet, what I think is a weird arrangement. Another plus: though small there's some space on either side of the stove. For reasons of safety and practicality I don't like having the side of the stove against a wall or the side of the refrigerator or cabinets.
