Walmart was much better when Sam was alive. I remember him touting most of his products were made in the USA. American flags were often in his TV ads, along with himself. After he died the suits took over and most of their products came from CHINA, at a much lower cost. And a MUCH higher profit. They have put out of business a LOT of smaller places and even American factories.

What a street to have in a city and state, but it's all gone. Americans go to Italy, Rome and love looking at all the old old buildings, same with England...but then back home they tear everything down. Having that street intact as a museum tour street would have been totally great. Those mansions can never be reproduced and they have ALWAYS been replaced by some bland building that could have been built elsewhere. Same with a freeway.

What a great house. Too bad it was demolished. At least a couple rooms were saved, that's better than most houses like this. The kids of people like this MUST be spoiled, aside from what they said. The house was 'outdated'. In England you have families who are still in homes handed down several hundred years. They don't say they're 'outdated'.

I like EVERY room in these old mansions. The BEST part is that it is still standing. Way too many of them have been demolished, and usually for no good reason!

The central historical building of that entire area and they let it get torn down. THAT looked like one heck of a great mansion. A perfect example of a Victorian. We are sooooo lucky the pyramids and Big Ben and the Eiffel Tower are not in the USA, or they would be GONE!

Its great that it still stands. It is odd looking, but a real look into the original owners style. EVERYONE sais, "If I had the money I'd..." well, Belmont DID have the money and did what he wanted! Good for him.

They should have made their mansion the art museum. People like that shaped the world WE live in , yet their hoses torn down and forgotten.

A happy ending. Mansions that survived to be museums. ima knew how to manage them and kept them going after she was gone.

Wow! This one is different, the OWNER of the house tore it down! He couldn't keep a portion of it, or make it smaller overall? Instead ripped the whole thing down. He should have found someone who liked it. Otherwise it looks like a great park to visit. Still, it would be annoying walking around there knowing what WAS there.

The library and gold room were my favorites. Though I wish the entire house was still here to tour. It is great the fireplace was saved.

A section of it could be one heck of a great Presidential Library for President Trump. Then his family could live in other parts like they do now. I hope he doesn't move because of everything. Those clowns would have come after him no matter when he lived.

Wow a house that's still standing AND a museum! My favorite room was ALL the rooms! I'd love to go see this some day! Great video Ken!!

Another good movie with a Victorian house set is 'The Ghost and Mr. Chicken' with Don Knotts. The opening shots of the house I think are the Psycho house redressed, but the interior sets are all Victorian. A great Halloween movie.

A great house and video. Lucky it's still standing. It seems some people when they get THAT kind of money they lose their minds and go nuts, not thinking of the future at all. Almost thinking they'll live forever. This is a great house, but way too big for anybody at any time.

This is an historic home. John Thompson Torrance is a great American historical figure. Good grief, he invented Campbell soup!! I really hope they DON'T tear his home down. TOURS would be great!!
6
This is great! A happy ending to an historic house!! I hope to go see it some day.

Great house with a happy ending! Though, the house is NOT open for daily tours. I think you have to call and make an appointment.
6
It does look pretty far gone, BUT they could shore it up, save it as a 'ruin'. It would still make a great tourist attraction with a nice park around it. It is a definite part of our history! ALSO you guys at This House should write a book full of pictures. All the interior shots used in the videos would be great. I think you'd have a few buyers for it! Haha! All your viewers!
6
Every room in that house was special! That is one house that should NOT have been torn down. Wow. People don't think, or look ahead. Something like this will never be built again. Well, at least a small portion of it is still around. That is, if they don't tear down the museum too!

I hope out in space somewhere is a heaven for Old Victorian mansions!

How is it possible this mansion got torn down!?!?! People with vision are so FEW and FAR BETWEEN It astounds me. Americans go to Europe and MARVEL at all the old buildings and statues. Yet, back home things on an equal footing get TORN DOWN, or just left to rot. Then a blasted fast food place or apartments are built in their place! Otherwise great video Ken!
6
A happy ending for a change. Do they give tours of the house?

We have all seen a tone of historic buildings get torn down, and NOT for progress. Lack of vision is usually the culprit. In a town called Canton Ohio, there are a load of EMPTY LOTS that HAD historic buildings on them, but now just grass or gravel. Most towns have at least one or two historic homes to tour. NOT Canton! @IntriguedLioness

Those rooms were astounding. Then 'renovated'?! The overall view I get from these videos and studying and touring old mansions is that A LOT of those people had more money that sense. They were spoiled, self centered and frivolous. And all for nothing, probably 80% of all those mansions are gone.
5
Great video. It's also great that the house is still standing. I was getting ready to purchase that mansion until I saw the photo. A little too crowded now. Oh well!
5
Another happy ending. Ken, have you ever done a percentage of houses on your videos, the ones that still stand and the ones demolished.
5
It would be nice to see some current photos of the inside, in color.

Too bad Dr. Zazio wasn't there to help!

It's great that his house is still standing. Harold was big into 3D photography back in the 50's. He took many great shots of Marilyn Monroe in 3D! 'Safety Last' is a total classic movie. Best seen in a theatre on a big screen. Even now, a hundred years later, there are some scenes you almost have to look away from. And people who are really afraid of heights... don't bother trying to watch it!
4
How anyone could tear that down is beyond me. Like he couldn't build an apartment house somewhere else. This house would have been the best house museum of all! Maybe there is a House Heaven they all go to once they're tore down!

They should have done everything they could to save Hancock's mansion. Considering he helped PAY for our fight to freedom!

Great Video! I learned about Daniel Boone when I was a kid. I'm guessing they don't teach anything about him in schools now. Too bad, he's a definite part of American history.

Most of these mansion stories end bad. Way too bad for this one, the town should have saved it and it could have been a center of activity, festivals, tours...It was lived in for 25 years?! I have socks older than that.
3
Did I miss it? What ever happened to Marjorie Post's penthouse? Is it still there?
3
One of the few house stories with a happy ending. I very much want to visit this house now. If you look at old bridges, the beams of many still say Carnegie Steel
3
SO if Sarah and her husband could do all that back then.... The owners of the house could still make some extra money opening it up for tours a couple days a week. A great house and story. Super great it wasn't torn down!
3
After they tore it down, what was built in it's place?
3
Sadly these kind of stories almost always end the same way, "...the house was demolished...."
3
Finally a house with a happy ending!
3
Wow, it didn't last very long!! How could they tear it down!?!? People back then didn't think or look ahead AT ALL! Ken, you should make a calendar with shots of all the houses, and some interior shots. It would sell out quickly!!
3
That is a great studio. With the huge skylight it would be perfect for painting. She was quite an interesting person and artist. She died so long ago. What is the status of the studio now?
2
The National Registry wasn't started until the 1960's. It seems this family wasted no time in selling the house, and I'm sure they figured in NYC it would be torn down by a developer.
2
The rich back then had style and class. Their mansions LOOKED like mansions. Equivalent houses today look more like public buildings. Lodges, or vacation structures.
2
I'm not surprised this house didn't make it. They didn't even spend much time there!? People with more money than sense. SIX stories high? Wow, if it did survive a tour would take over three hours! Too bad you couldn't find a modern picture of what is on the spot now.
2
WHAT!?!?! Weddings?!?! It's not a museum!?! Do they at least give tours?
2
A great house with a happy ending. I think the rebuild looks a lot nicer than the original. Would love to go see it.
2
These This House videos almost always have a sad ending. No fault of theirs...I just can't imagine slamming a wrecking ball into a house like this. Like there was no place else to build that ugly hotel.
2
Well, this story had HALF a happy ending. At least it's still standing, changed, but standing. I guess that is actually a good route for some of these. They have to be able to be lived in by modern people in modern times. It would be nice if they ALL became museums but too bad they can't. And the saddest part, I can't afford ANY of them!
2
How much? Let me get my check book...
2
So good that it still stands. There is hope that some day someone might get it and turn it into a museum.
