  1. This is my favorite old mansion. I've been through tours of many old mansions and the Seiberling house FEELS like a house, a home. It has a very cozy and comfortable feel to it. I've been through it many times. I was even going to be a guide but the day before I was to take the test and sign up my car DIED! So I never got around to trying it again. I can't pick a favorite room, I like them all. Also hey Ken, it's not SEE berling...it's pronounced like Sigh-berling.

  2. Did the house they moved everything to survive? Is it a museum now?

  3. This is a great video Ken! I've been to Manhattan so many time but I never heard of this!! NOW I know about it. I look forward to touring it someday. What a historical home. Washington's HQ ! Wow!

  4. Great video, and great that it's a house that survives. AND another on my list to visit!

  6. Wow, Elon Musk would have been second banana to this guy. What a dynamo he was!

  7. People who tear these down never realize THESE mansions our the American version of old castles in Europe. Historical buildings of a time that will never come again. Built by people who STARTED businesses that affected the entire country and future.

  8. France, Germany, England ALL managed to KEEP their castles and build elsewhere. Not here, all our castles, which are these mansions from an era never to return, historic time capsules. All lost and replaced by cookie cutter houses and condos.

  9. Wow, what a great house. Hopefully the people who end up buying it will appreciate it. Not those types of people who buy a house like that then say, "We need to modernize it." and proceed to RUIN it. It was typical or the plaster moulding in the parlor to be painted all white. The sun room at the top of the steps was also called a sleeping porch. In the summer you could sleep out there when it got too hot. That back downstairs room is perfect for the tv and modern 'stuff'. A good family room. When going through a house, esp. one you don't know the exact date, have a close look at the door hinges and door hardware. They tell you a lot about the houses age. great video..keep going!

  10. Old mansions are great but this place was TOO great! It was way too big all the way around. And if it had survived even now who could handle the upkeep. Too big for a museum tour at $15 or $35 a head, or even $100 a head. I really think those rich people back then thought they were going to live forever. At least she let people save what they could. I wish I would have been around to cart some things out. I would have loaded up the van!!

  11. His house that is still standing, is it a museum? Or does a family live there?

  12. Wow. This house didn't last long. Too bad.

  13. Old mansions are one of my favorite subjects. But this place, it really was too big. Waaaay too big. The builder must have thought he was going to live forever.

  14. I like these videos best when they have a happy ending! ( a still standing house)

  15. Another mansion gone, this time to ashes. That would have been one great house to see and explore. So tragic it's gone. Even had it survived the fire some jerks would have some along and tore it down anyway!

  16. Well done but sad video. You could do a similar video of Canton, Ohio. It had a good amount of really nice old mansions and now they are all gone. We are all very lucky the pyramids were not built in Ohio!

  17. Its great it's still around and no torn down. Maybe some day they'll make it a museum so everyone can see inside. KEN, do you live in an old mansion?

  18. So what exactly are you supposed to learn at this university? That they tore this down shows they're pretty stupid!

  19. They should rent it to writers for a month at a time. A writer could get a lot done in a month out there.

  20. Visit?! I want to live there!

  21. Its great it is still there!

  22. It seems when people, anybody, gets that kind of money they think they'll live forever and that the money will always roll in. Then real life steps in and ends it. Too many of those people back then built houses that were just plain TOO BIG and expensive to keep up and they ended up torn down. This was the worst as it was only used for such a short time. The depression knocked off a lot of these houses.

  23. Its very good to have a happy ending to one of these house stories. Too many end the same, ...demolished.

  24. Harry had a great time with his money. Typical that the houses in England are still standing, even after a WAR, but the one nice one here was torn down.

  25. FINALLY! One of these mansion stories with a happy ending where the house DIDN'T get torn down!!!

  26. I don't know why I keep watching these. I get so annoyed at the end when they get to the part where the mansion was torn down.

  27. Great video! What is the house used for today if not a home?
    1
  28. Geat that the house is saved. I ve got to go see it. The video is so short I thought for sure it was going to end bad with the place getting torn down!

  29. What?! She auctioned it all off...right away? A rich loser!

  30. When you hear the word 'developers' you know the story will end sad. Luckily no developers have gotten ahold of the pyramids, or they'd be gone too!

  31. Great video! This is one nice mansion, though huge it seems to feel like a home. Maybe someday they'll give tours through the house. Question: Ken, do you live in a big old house?

  32. Great video! Another fabulous house bit the dust. What's there now? Condos? Another old house I know of, a family home, but the biggest on its block, built over a hundred years ago. Solid brick with large first floor rooms. A total of 6 bedrooms in the house. Two upstairs bathrooms with a sunporch the length of the house out the bathroom doors. A huge attic built finished for more living space, with one wall over twenty feet high. 4 staircases, front sun rooms on the first floor...A great house to grow up in. Which I did! But, alas, it too has been torn down!!

  33. The building that replaced it looked like a big blank BRICK...Nothing special at all, and it will probably last a long time, they never tear those types down! At least that old thin building to the right is still there.

  34. It's great they are both still standing. Are they both still used as homes? Or offices? Great video Ken. I liked both houses, though the first was my favorite.

  35. Houses are built now with wood from trees that were 7 or 8 years old when cut. Old Victorians and the Colonial days used trees that were 200, 300 or more years old. Nice dense HARD wood. Back then even PINE was a hard wood! I have a cabinet that belonged to my great grandparents. It's astounding at how HEAVY it is!

  36. Houses could last years and years, So why is it always such a mad rush to build them quick. Always quicker and quicker.

  37. This was a great building. Even greater that it is still standing. I have always liked old mansions and Victorian houses. BUT some of the houses you show seem to be built by people with more money than sense. And I think all that cash made some people think they would live forever.

  38. Great video. I think this is the only house in your videos that is still used as a residence! Ken, do you do other videos? The guy on the ghost videos sounds like you, BizzareBub it's called.

  39. Another happy ending video. They usually end with a demolition. I'd love to go see this place. What a house. AND the owners got to spend their lives there. That's good, so they didn't loose their money or run off to Europe like some, or many do! Like I've said before, so few people have REAL vision, and Henry Overholser had it big time!!

  40. I like all the rooms. Another historic house on my list to visit!
