  1. Thank you, I was so sad when The Last Kingdom was over.
    103
  2. I'm old enough to remember when North Grand Avenue still looked grand. The Tower Theatre and more fine old churches, shop fronts. Happy that the towers are standing.
    83
  3. Always loved school picnics at Chain of Rocks and the romantic little castle and palace. It was scary to meet another car on the bridge.

  4. Love those St. Louis Tudor style arched door cottages, that one is a beauty. I had a smaller Tudor style cottage from the twenties that had one of the little cabinet doors to retreive the mail without having to go outside, it also had a small kitchen, peole had dining rooms and actually used them. Those red granite pavers came from the renovation of the levee and old riverfront street. My childhood house in the county had some of those for flower beds.

  5. Interesting, he had quite a walk from the Mart Building. Thanks for your service and for your vision to save a building.

  6. Her tomb is next to the greatest Tudor monarch, Elizabeth I.

  7. Love the bullseye windows.

  8. Happy it was saved from the wrecking ball.

  9. Impressive mill work. Perfect size, nice Corgi. .

  10. Good job with the period appropriate furnishings. Love the woodwork.

  11. I remember when that St. Louis flag was designed for the St. Louis bicentennial in 1964, whatever happened to the Spanish Pavilion? Mayor Cervantes secured it from the New York World's Fair.
    9
  12. The little blue and white tiled floor is nice. Makes a fine space. Pocket doors look like quarter sawn oak doors to me. A good space for art.
    9
  13. Neo classical, corinthian columns, Ionian on porte cochere, probably find some doric somewhere in the hodge podge. Interiors are some elements of lots of styles including arte nouveau and Aesthetic/Arts and Crafts. Yes, it's a mix. Go on up to Kirksville and look at the Italianate House, if it is still there.
    8
  14. Heat register/vent is a nice detail. Was this originally a shot gun with one room opening to the next? Good job.
    8
  15. Those flu plate covers, heated with oil stoves when they stopped using the coal furnace. Probably divided up into flats at some point. Nice one, worthy of being saved.

  16. Powell Hall, I remember when it was the St. Louis theatre (movie palace). That is a good thing if the symphony needs the space. It has not been residential for years. Maybe The Cupples House is enough for that veracular style. Those glass block windows are a disgrace. Is the cast iron porch frame original, the place is badly butchered. There are plenty of homes of this style to be gentrified in North St. Louis, for the few and the brave who wish to dedicate their lives to the upkeep of a property that was built to have a staff. If they were able to move a masonry house without disaster, where would they move it and to what purpose, another house museum? It has some nice features intact, like the eyebrow window on the roof, turret appears to be missing a roof. Is it currently serving as offices?
    8
  17. I would appreciate a video on the Cupples house. I would like to see more on The Sappington House too. Boone Home is my favorite. Thanks for showing Taille de Noyer in Florissant.
    8
  18. Nursery was my favorite.
    7
  19. Love the eyebrow window on the roof, perfect for a German beer baron family, give me a Falstaff or Stag beer. Pales to the Busch mansion, they sold more pails. Yes, you could buy beer by the pail in St. Louis, original takeout. Love the staircase.
    7
  20. I did not know about non-alcohol beer Bevo, thank you.
    7
  21. It was a conceit of the wealthy to call their houses and mansions cottages. A lovely example.😊 I like the staircase niche.
    7
  22. Love the dining room ceiling and panel with the plate rail, fine job.
    7
  23. Note, it is not good government to set fire to your subjects.
    7
  24. She's a beauty. Older than some of the rebuilds in Nuremburg. Yes, people were not touting their germanic heritage as much in those days, Saxe-Coburgs became the Windsors, Battenbergs became the Mountbattens and Robert Praeger lynched by a rowdy Collinsville, Illinois mob during WWI. I think the closets may be later remodels.

  25. That image of a mushroom cloud on the photo of Harry's house is tacky.😮 "America needs you Harry Truman."
    7
  26. Interesting, thank you.
    7
  27. Good video, thank you.
    7
  28. Lovely, Mount Vernon was also scored like the summer kitchen to resemble stone.
    7
  29. Always happy to see a St. Louis woman, who did well.

  30. I like the bow windows.
    6
  31. Buckminster Fuller had his day, especially in the sixties. Good dog.
    6
  32. The family library/gathering room.
    6
  33. Rosebud
    6
  34. Main hall and butler's pantry are my favorites, Teddy Roosevelt would have felt at home with all the creepy animal head trophies, the eyes seem to follow you. Oh, I like the bath upstairs too, lovely floor. She paid nice attention to the details. Your very own speakeasy and saloon must have been nice. I can remember when I was a child and going into the grand main library and being awed by it.
    5
  35. Nice house. River Des Peres has a nicer ring to it than Dogtown (Hyacinthe Bucket moment). That's a great mission/arts and crafts style staircase and the stain glass windows too. Maybe it was a nursery that opens to the other bedroom. That looks like nineteen-fifties wallpaper in the utility room. Was the house ever broken into a boarding house with perhaps an upstairs kitchen with that wallpaper?
    5
  36. A real beauty, plaster medallion painted to resemble majolica?
    5
  37. Love the architecture in Charleston, hurray for pink.😊
    5
  38. So many couples including Oswald Mosley and Diana Mitford Guinness flocked to Aryan Adolph, a regular cupid for psychopaths.
    5
  39. It has everything, even a dutch gambrel roof line on the side. A princess needs to live in the tower room. Hesrth room used to be a porch or porte cochere, step out of your coach and enter through those those beautiful leaded doors, those are my favorite feature. No wait, the craftsmen style bookcases are my favorite. I will never understand barn doors, but to each their own. I must have missed it, was there no way out to the ramparts/sun porch? Interesting house.
    5
  40. Well you would have had the Howell's Prairie communities for neighbors if not for the munition plant diaspora.
    5
  41. Avila adobe, fifteen foot ceilings with cottonwood beams and an 'orginal tar' sealant for the roof.
    5
  42. I loved that house.❤
    5
  43. Yes, it is a fancier open back staircase, many of them were closed staircases going to the kitchen.
    5
  44. The studio space is not claustrophobic, which cannot be said of all parts of the home, like living in a sculpture. The cool must have been a burden at times.
    5
  45. Hopefully the grandson allowed his Mom and Dad to live in the house or on the estate. Main bedroom.
    5
  46. I love the Italianate style, especially the entry portico.
    5
  47. Merry Christmas, thank you.
    5
  48. Shaw's Tower Grove House is favorite, although the Afton rock house is close second.
    4
  49. Staircase looks hazardous, not even a silk rope handrail. My sister enjoyed the biography of Clark's daughter.

  50. Never Let Me Go🎉

  51. Is that clown painting from an amusement park haunted house ride? I like their relaxed style and they did a great job on yard.
    4
  52. Now go to Dogtown, Des Peres brought it to mind. Those mid-century tuck-ins stick out like sore thumbs.

  53. Love those Tudors. Santa hanging from the flower box, he's quite the acrobat. 18.21 too. Thanks guys, loved it.
    4
  54.  @cynthiajohnston424  A nice memory, but I refer more to Newport mansions being called cottages.

  55. I love the lion house with the W.H. mounting block, get well Nathan.

  56. Thank you.

  57. Beaux Arts, so pretty, thank you, glad they did not tear it down.
    4
  58. I like the staircase, works for a bed and breakfast for trips to the wineries.

  59. Just in time to go with Season 2 of The Gilded Age, you did a fine job. I have Schermerhorn in my family tree (the poor relative).

  60. Nice one, great views.

  61. Handplate, I have one on my swinging door into the kitchen, that home is much more spacious than it appears from the street. Nice master addition. I vote tornado.
    3
  62.  @ThisHouse  I later Googled hand plate and at home supply stores they are calling them push plates. I still have plans for a fallout shelter that my Dad had amongst papers (printed by General Motors), but I can remember him looking at the plan in the sixties and saying, "this is not going to save anyone." He did not build one. Cuban missle crisis freaked the parents out temporarily. Later, people said "the living shall envy the dead," so not much point to give up part of the rathskellar, a St. Louis favored word for basement recroom in the sixties.

  63. Nice kitchen.😊

  64. I love Kimmswick, tasty food at the Blue Owl.

  65. Pretty bones.

  66. You need an ancestor on the Dawes and Siler rolls to be a federally recognized Native American, regardless of blood quantum.

  67. The library with the wonderful glass doored bookcases and wonderful sculpted ceiling.😊
    3
  68. I remember going to a job interview at Bell Telephone which went long, and coming out to find a parking ticket, went immediately into our beautiful City Hall and admired the staircase and paid my fine. They offered me a job but not before I had already accepted another one. The Civil Courts Building is my favorite.
    3
  69. Interesting that the furniture would go to Hollywood for the making of screwball comedies of the rich kicking up their heels to cheer up movie audiences in the midst of a grinding depression, My Man Godfrey is one of my favorites.
    3
  70. Harris Teacher's College? I love the limestone retaining wall on the last house, that would be a child's delight to walk upon and jump off until the owner came out and told you to go home.
    3
  71. I walked by this building every day in the summer of 1966 going to my bus stop, had a summer job downtown.
    3
  72. Interesting house, I like how they made an entrance to the basement, which probably had those slanted basement doors that I and my pals used to jump on like a trampoline. the wooden ones had some nice give to them, which is why people replaced them with metal. A city childhood was much more fun than the burbs.
    3
  73.  @KevinDHart  Agree, between saving the old St. Louis Theatre and this house with plenty of other examples, there is no contest. Certainly don't move the symphony.
    3
  74. I think it was 2 family flats once upon a time, great yard.
    3
  75. Any plans for the structure, which looks fairly sound on a good foundation.

  76. That gangway was fun for kids to climb up the walls.

  77. Does she have any descendants in Paraguay?

  83. The Astor house.

  84. Lafayette park was so pretty with many statues and little pavilions when I was a kid, thanks for the walk through the park.

  85. Our wonderful bridge.
    2
  86. The drawing room.
    2
  87. Queen Anne
    2
  88. Sixteen in Webster Groves was never reality, it was an upper middle class or upper middle class want to be suburb of a dying city where the sixties did not really arrive until 1969. News flash, no one cares about your china pattern, stay away from the cocaine and investing in S & Ls.

  89. Cash gets an owie at the playground.

  90. Lounge, so non-u. I agree with Danvers.

  95.  @jamie49868  By all means if some private individual wishes to purchase, then dismantle or move this masonry building, then please do so. There is a point where too little, too late comes into play. It has no historic designation, the symphony owns the building and they have approval for expansion.
    2
  96.  @jamie49868  More to the point, is whether it should be done, append a Victorian red brick residence to the expansion of a buff brick art deco building, which presents legal and fit for purpose problems and incurs more costs than is reasonable to the property owner, from memory, there are plenty extant examples of this style of house existing in residential neighborhoods awaiting restoration. I suggest you turn your efforts toward those structures with a reasonable expectation of survival. I thought from the information that the only option now open to discussion was whether or not it could be relocated at private expense. I do not think moving at public expense is viable or wanted. Last time I checked, property rights continued to exist in St. Louis, until the property owner desires to have a red brick residence appended to their expansion, your point is moot.

  97. Staircase and Gothic arch.

  98. Very lovely.

  99. Lots of favorites.😊

  101. You're Catholic, you're Protestant, you're Catholic, you're Protestant. The Tudor tizzy.

  112. She murdered her nephew to insure her power, she was the Richard III of Africa, royalty sama-sama.

  115. Fear

  116. My favorite quote from Justice Robert H. Jackson, "Those who begin coercive elimination of dissent soon find themselves exterminating dissenters. Compulsory unification of opinion achieves only the unanimity of the graveyard." Justice Jackson served as lead prosecutor at the Nuremburg trials. Hitler's cult of personality left a nation in ashes. The modern day fascists may have their opinion but where that opinion comes into conflict with the Constitution, they can go straight to hell.

  117. Rich in years.

  118. Those rooms must have smelled like a gathering of pole cats.

  119. The library.

  120. Thank you.

  121. Looks like the Boone portrait by Chester Harding speaking. Rest in peace.

  122. The bedroom with the corner glass view.
    1
  123.  @bobettepancakes  Everyone is entitled to their opinion now (not then). Henry VII was a usurper, who needed Elizabeth of York to bring any legitimacy to his rule.
    1
  124. Athelred had a big sword but he died suddenly. Earl of the Five Burroughs (mud heaps) sounds made up by himself.
    1
  125. The bullet trains are terrific, just don't travel when there is a major 'football' game, rude, noisey jackasses.

  126. You just wanted a new pair of trunks, so nice to see a young family, been there, done that.
    1
  127. Video says the Roosevelt family moved in 1872, before lovely and witty Alice, "if you can't say anything nice about anyone, then come sit next to me." Poor Teddy, tired of hearing criticisms about his eldest child joked, "I can control Alice or the Country but I can't do both."
    1
  128.  @RAREFORMDESIGNS  No, but I watched the video of the tiny kitchen and small rooms, I did tour a Usonian house design by Frank Lloyd Wright that was assembled in front of the Dallas Art Museum in the eighties, also cramped spaces, I found it claustrophobic, lovely design and practicality do not always go hand in hand. The terraces and the way it set on its lovely ground is what I saw as more a work of art than acomfortable space.

  129. Barbecue looks delicious, nice adventure.

  130. Always seems too cluttered, no matter how large. Yes, the critics were right. "The butler did it," ever thus, whether true or not.
