  1. What a kind, intelligent, generous and forward thinking couple! I would have liked to have been their friend. And their beautiful home truly reflected their attitudes as well.

  2. Very interesting and educational video! I learned a lot today about the Vanderbilt family and their houses! Biltmore Mansion is still standing, and still visited by many tourists today. It would have been one of the places I would have liked to see.

  3. This kind of child slavery still continues today in India, Asia, and the Middle East. What an awful way to treat the workers at these woolen mills. Thank you for this most interesting and educational video.

  4. My father would have liked these homes because of the top quality woodwork, and masonry. However I don't think he would have liked the over decorating in terms of the furniture, and potted plants, which he considered to be too ostentatious and fussy. Both he and I love books, so the library would be our favorite place. Thank you again for your excellent work.

  5. What an amazing woman! Nothing like determination, patience and hard work to make a decent life. Beautiful house

  6. Very interesting house! One would never get bored looking at all the extensive antique pieces that are placed so well within the different styles of rooms. I like it!

  7. My favorite home. I'm sorry about the sad part of the descendants losing their money because of poor money management and education. I hope this house will get saved for future people to enjoy.

  8. What an amazing house! And also what an amazing lady Daisy was!!! 😍

  9. Now this is my kind of man, and also the same for his beautiful house. His integrity, innovative mind, generosity and kindness, and also very good taste is the sort of things that truly appeal to me. Thank you again 💓 💖 💗

  10. I was left absolutely gobsmacked by the sheer size of this particular mansion 😮!!! Thank you again for yet another great video!

  11. The Frick house was my favorite, and also the Hewlett house. I am very pleased that they have been preserved for the future generations. I couldn't help being reminded of the song from "Annie, Get Your Gun," the one that says "Anything you can do, I can do better......" I hope you understand. Thank you again.

  12. My late father would be been absolutely delighted by this house. He loved medieval houses, and was very good working with wood, copper and wrought iron. Personally I thought this house was a very interesting and quirky place, in a beautiful place. 😍

  13. Quite frankly, the love of money is the root cause of all kinds of evil. My parents taught me to manage my money very carefully, I am very grateful for that. Thank you.

  14. I preferred the Beechwood mansion, restrained, and classic design.
    10
  15. I loved the woodwork and the stained glass windows, just so very beautiful and stunning! And also the rooms were beautiful in their own way 😍 ❤️ 💕 😊 💖

  16. My favorite mansion of the USA so far. I thought this particular house was actually very beautiful, and well thought out and designed to eventually allow the public to enjoy the gobsmackedly amazing art collection. This video, and also other videos, allow me to see the USA, and it's best features, from my home in Auckland City, New Zealand. Thank you for your excellent work 👏 👍 😀

  17. And the grand staircase! Wonderful piece of woodwork.

  18. I'm deeply saddened by the tragic loss of Leland and his wife's only son from typhoid, and also the suspicious death of his wife many years later. No amount of money is enough to protect one from the realities of living and dying.

  19. Another fascinating history lesson on the great houses of the USA 🇺🇸 👍 😀
    7
  20. This particular house is the victim of so called progress in the US of America!!! Really?! Thank you for this most interesting and educational video!

  21. I am gobsmacked by this story!!! I love the beautiful stained glass overhead window!!! Thank you again. 😊

  22. One of the better houses in the United States, and very pleasant to see, both inside and outside too.

  23. I totally agree with you regarding having one's wife declared insane just so you can marry your mistress. Not kind or nice. I'd have been devastated if something like that happened to me.
    6
  24. A very beautiful and palatial house and gardens. Mr Ringling and his wife Mabel had very good taste in interior design for that particular time. I am pleased that the public saw fit to save this house and gardens 😀

  25. Complete and utter tragedy 😢 😔 💔

  26. Beautiful house

  27. Thank you for this most interesting and educational video about this man behind the Pulitzer Prize. I now completely understand how this Prize came into existence. Thank you again, and also well done indeed to you for your excellent work 👏

  28. It's called being capricious and petty.
    5
  29. What can I say? Marion was a woman who was used and abused by Randolph Hearst, and then fell into alcoholism, and ended up being used and abused by her second husband. Poor woman!!!

  30. My father who was very interested in architecture, art, design etc, liked Frank Lloyd Wright's house designs, especially the Falling Water house in Pennsylvania. I found his houses on Pinterest and I was very interested, and I have been collecting as many photos as possible on my Pinterest account. He was a very good architect, but he was also very difficult to work with. But his houses, and buildings were designed to last many years, if not centuries.

  31. One of my most favorite places ever!!! I have always been fascinated by this particular house for a very long time!!! You have educated me more than I expected regarding this house!!! Well done indeed!!! Thank you 😊 💓 ☺️

  32. I much prefer this house, modest and designed to be people and pet friendly. Nothing wrong with being humble and loving towards God and your fellow man. I do not like it when people show off their wealth and power. I much prefer that people help others quietly and with unconditional love ❤️.

  33. I am so pleased that a good number of these houses were able to be reused for other purposes!
    4
  34. Brilliantly designed and decorated house, and not too big either. I am very pleased that this house has been preserved so well. 😀

  35. This particular video talks about the Farnsworth House, which has been one of few modern houses that I have actually liked enough to take more than a passing interest in. I personally think it's beautiful in its own way, but I also think it has been badly located, but I understand that it would be too difficult and expensive to relocate. Thank you again for your excellent work again 👏

  36. This particular man is the sort of person that I would like to be friends with, simply because of his generosity and mostly good business sense. Personally I found the inside of the house a little too much for me. The outside is very much my style. 😊
    4
  37. Delightful and yet a very Mishmash combination of different English manor houses. 😊
    4
  38. Dare I say it, depending on how close this particular mansion is to suburban areas, I suggest that this mansion be carefully and thoughtfully divided into around 33 apartments, and then each apartment sold to the local people. I am just being honest and practical.
    4
  39. Absolutely beautiful and enormous manor! My favorite rooms were the music room, and also the two bedrooms. One could take a very very long time exploring this particular place. Complete with a GPS system to help you find your way around this place and the gardens 😀
    4
  40. I have seen this particular house in magazines, but when I saw a short film on this house, at a film festival, I was completely fascinated by the way it was designed and built. Especially when it was built in a absolutely beautiful place. But I had no idea that it had issues with the structural integrity and strength of the framework. I am not surprised, as Frank Lloyd Wright could be quite careless regarding good quality architectural design. He could also be frequently a very difficult person to work with, regarding his clients and colleagues and students. Despite his immense talent.
    4
  41. Absolutely stunning home and especially the gardens and orchards! A very great pity about Maud dying of pneumonia, leaving her parents totally bereft. But I do have concerns regarding the structural integrity of the house, should a very strong earthquake happen in this particular area. I advise all people to enjoy the house while it is still possible to do so.

  42. The staircase was my favorite part of this beautiful house. 😍
    4
  43. Now I know how Highclere Castle came about! Very different from what I had imagined! Very beautiful house and gardens.

  44. This house is very much my style and decor for practical reasons as I have a disability.

  45. Thank you for this most interesting and educational video regarding Mar-A-Lago. I knew there was some history regarding this mansion, but I never did quite understand, or know how this came about. Very interesting, and enlightening. I'd like to know what would happen to the mansion after Donald Trump dies. Like does it get passed on to Melania Trump, or his children Donald Trump Jr, Eric, Ivana, Tiffany and Barron? Thank you again. 😊

  46. I remember as a child watching the TV shows about Daniel Boone, and being absolutely fascinated by this man and his country. Thank you for this most interesting and educational video. I learned a lot today about Daniel Boone!

  47. Gobsmackedly beautiful house and gardens! I could quite easily live in this particular house. However, having said that, I do understand that conflicts regarding money are one of the most common causes of marriage breakdowns. I firmly believe that couples who want to get married should throughly discuss all aspects of their lives and expectations before tying the knot 🪢 🤔.

  48. I seriously wonder if he had dyslexia, or another learning disability. But some people are just not easily motivated, laid back to the point of being horizontal. I love the house though, except for the green wallpaper on the dining room. It actually made me feel ill. But the hallway was just so beautiful. Thank you again for yet another interesting video. 😊

  49. Hideous house with a tragic history. 😥
    3
  50. Beautiful house, but however I would have used it for community service, not just for myself. Personally I think it's a great pity that rich people can be so extravagant and selfish. Nothing wrong with being humble, loving, and generous towards your fellow men and women.

  51. My favorite house so far!!! 😍. The entrance room was my favorite part of this house. It always gives me great comfort and pleasure when a house stays in the same family over many generations ❤️ ♥️ 💕 💙 💖

  52. Interesting home 🏡
    3
  53. Beautiful house, I'd like to think the inside is just as beautiful as well. Thank you again for your most interesting videos

  54. There is nothing wrong with living modestly and humbly before God. It's much better than being greedy for more and more money!
    3
  55. Beautiful chateau and gardens. Not fond of the clothed mannequins, which cluttered the rooms, and also adultery. The video was a little bit too fast for me to keep up with, but still very interesting. Thank you

  56. One of the most beautiful houses that I have ever seen 😍 ❤️
    3
  57. The house was beautiful, but too big to be practical in the long run.
    3
  58. Another absolutely beautiful manor!!! I have always enjoyed your videos. Thank you again! 😊
    3
  59. What a absolutely beautiful manor and gardens. I had an English father, who passed on his love of good architecture, art, music and beautiful beaches. I would quite happily live in this manor if it was possible to do so. I especially loved the playhouse, as I have a love of doll houses, and smaller versions of a playhouse. Thank you again. 😊

  60. This house is enormous, especially the entrance hall 😳😳😳

  61. I am so pleased that you, your partner, and your cats are very happy in your new home, even though it will require a lot of money and work to restore back to its original plan and design wherever possible. My main piece of advice is please take your time and think very carefully about everything that you want to do and how you plan to achieve your goals. Any restorations and renovations tend to end up being more difficult and expensive and also take longer than expected. Patience and lots of it will be greatly needed. Just do what you can realistically. And then take it from there if possible. I presume that this house is structurally sound? I'd much prefer that over anything else quite frankly. But well done indeed for your decision 👏. By the way, I love your cats stealing the show 😀😂😂!!!

  62. The lies that people speak in order to make more money, plus gain fame!!! I am so very angry about what the new owners did to the memory of Sarah Winchester and her staff. I am also opposed to occultism and related practices. I am very grateful for your telling us the full truth. Thank you 😊
    2
  63. Well done indeed! I am very pleased with how you made the rooms come alive 😀 😊 😄!!! Excellent work I'd have to say 😀 😊 😄!!!

  64. Mr John Stokes was a very selfish and prideful man, tragic story 😢
    2
  65. I totally agree with you 💯
    2
  66. It has been said that the love of money is the root cause of all kinds of evil. From the Bible actually. I'm saddened that Albert's parents did not teach him that. 😤
    2
  67. Two words: absolutely gobsmacked!!!! 💯
    2
  68. The most beautiful modern house ever. My father would have been absolutely delighted with this house! I love its warm atmosphere, practicality, and simplicity. And the multiple porches making it easy to enjoy and interact with the natural environment. Love this house!!!
    2
  69. I have to be honest, and say that this particular place was not one of my favorite places, too big, and too elaborate. I could have fitted at least forty families into that house easily
    2
  70. I saw this particular house owned by Mark Twain and his wife, in a series of photos on Pinterest, and I found them very interesting and fascinating to look at. This video taught me a lot about Mark Twain and his wife, and the house that they lived in. Thank you again. 😊
    2
  71. Thank you for yet another interesting video. I hope you get better sooner rather than later, after the car accident, now that gave me a shock 😲!! I understand completely what it is like to be involved in a car accident, very difficult to cope with at the time. Thank you again. 😊 😊

  72. The size of the swimming pool caused my jaw to drop! My that pool was humongous! I'd have to say that Randolph Hearst really out did himself in being absolutely ostentatious and over the top 😳 🤔 🙄

  73. Beautiful house!
    2
  74. Very interesting
    2
  75. Very beautiful house, designed to be family-friendly! 😊

  76. At the risk of being shot at, I would say that a house, or a mansion, is just that, a house, or a mansion. It's the people who live in it, that makes it a 🏡.
    2
  77. Good well constructed home, which was designed to last many years.
    2
  78. Very interesting mansion, with a very varied history.

  79. Museum? A place where history, and architecture is taught by experts to students? A film set using miniature cameras? A place for displaying antique clothing? Just a few options for consideration for the leaders of Sacramento!

  80. Simple and clean architecture!!! The gardens are very nice and expansive
    1
  81. Gorgeous home! ❤

  82. I personally prefer the gardens rather than the over elaborate inside of the house quite frankly. Thank you again for yet another excellent video. 👏 😊

  83. Very interesting and educational video. I never knew that this man existed. But even so, I am very impressed with his great architectural style. 😊
    1
  84. I understood everything you said. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I thought this house was very much a classic example of near perfect preservation of eighteenth century style house interiors and gardens. The entrance hall was my favorite part of the house, with the dining room a close second. If the walls could speak, the tales they would tell! 😮
    1
  85. A very interesting and educational video about a man that I never had known about. I found this video to expand my knowledge of American history. Thank you for sharing this with us. 😊

  86. What is wrong with good quality work, I ask? It's a great pity that the developer couldn't see that, and try to save most, if not all of the beautiful woodworks, and other things. The new building is very nice but boring 😴 😑 😒
    1
  87. What an awful building! 😖 I am so not surprised that it finally collapsed, and also became a hazard for the local community. One of those things best forgotten about. Thank you again!
    1
  88. I much preferred the first house, it looked like a real house designed for family and friends. The second house was very much over the top and designed to be a showpiece - not my favorite.
    1
  89. Fascinating and educational video regarding Missourian history. Thank you for your excellent work 👏 👍 😀 🙌 😊

  90. This particular video reminded me of what happened with the Auckland City Art gallery in the 1990s. The Mayor at the time, Dick Hubbard, wanted to enlarge the original building which had been built in the French chateau style. Lovely building it was too. But the new extension was very much a modern glass, concrete and steel building. It caused a huge amount of controversy, with the opposition trying to get as many people to stop this extension from being built. I personally opposed it as well. But somehow the building extension was built. The new building has taken a lot of the beauty of the old building away, and also the new Cafe is still badly built and too small again! I have not been there for a few years. Don't wish to go back as well. So I do understand completely why many people have complained about this particular mansion being extended in such a careless and haphazard way. Enough said. Thank you.

  91. One of my more favored house, with a beautiful staircase, and rooms. However marble is not a good material to use, as it can be a very cold, and slippery stone, both to look at, and to touch. Houses with marble in them tend to be very cold. Enough said.
    1
  92. I personally prefer the older houses, than the modern skyscrapers that now exist in New York. But I would have converted these mansions into carefully made apartments for more affordable housing. Just my educated opinion. 😌
    1
  93. One of my favorite places, and the inside rooms are very nicely done. I am very pleased that it's owned by a Christian ministry today 😀
    1
  94. A beautiful house with beautiful gardens!!! The staircase was beautifully designed and gracious to behold.
    1
  95. This house was designed to be people friendly. Just the way I like it. 😊
    1
  96. My kind of man!!!
    1
  97. A very beautiful and livable house! I have to say that being affected by an inoperable brain tumor can be a very painful and difficult experience both for the patient and their families to go through, as the tumor literally destroys the personality and soul until there is nothing left. Enough said. Thank you again for your excellent work 👏

  98. I wonder what happened to Fulton Cutting's country estate? Thanks for your most interesting and educational video!
    1
  99. With all due respect, and at the risk of being shot at, I have learned that things don't last forever, and also people eventually end up dying for a host of reasons. Heaven is the only place that will last forever, quite frankly. However I do find these videos very interesting and educational. Thank you 😊

  100. Except that he would have been too busy to pay me any attention!!

  101. Very thought provoking! And just one of the many reasons why I would not travel to the USA.
    1
  102. A very interesting and educational video! And also a lovely house 🏠 😊 😍

  103. What a beautiful and interesting house, in an equally beautiful location! Thank you for this most interesting and educational video!
    1
  104. Beautiful house in New York. A pity that it, and the people who lived in it, became the victims of the Wall Street crash in 1929. Money can't buy you everything! The best things come from the heart and mind
    1
  105. My father would have been very intrigued and inspired by this particular house. He built both our houses, in different styles, the second one being similar to Beauport, in some ways. Thank you again. 😊
    1
  106. Edith Rockefeller paid dearly for her selfishness and prideful attitudes, I am not surprised that she became mentally ill. I feel sorry for her staff and her husband 😔. It's just my bluntly honest opinion.
    1
  107. Very interesting! The internal design, decor and colors are very much my style. Also it was designed to be a people and pet friendly home. No fancy or elaborate stuff.
    1
  108. Gobsmackedly beautiful house! Not so sure about the gardens. But the house is very much my style and decor!
    1
  109. What an absolutely stunning place 😍!!! Beautifully designed, and decorated to last many years, if not centuries!!! I am so very pleased that this particular house is been preserved! It should be, with its excellent quality design and workmanship. Thank you again. 😊

  110. This house is the sort of house that I would quite happily live in forever!!! It's my favorite place ever!!! Well done indeed 👏
