  1. 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 Those mansions can never be reproduced and they have ALWAYS been replaced by some bland building that could have been built elsewhere.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.

  2. A bona-fide American HISTORIC mansion torn down. The mayor, governor, no one did anything to stop it. It would have been a great Hollywood museum to tour like the Hearst Mansion. Americans have to get A LOT BETTER at preserving their past!!

  3. 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.

  4. Too many, esp. young people when in public stare at their phone and zone out. Thinking doing that 'removes' them from their surroundings and any unwanted interaction. It only makes them a TARGET.

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

  6. 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!!

  7. 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.

  9. 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.

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

  11. 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!

  12. A happy ending for a change. Do they give tours of the house?

  13. 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!

  14. Another happy ending. Ken, have you ever done a percentage of houses on your videos, the ones that still stand and the ones demolished.

  15. 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.

  16. A first aid kit and flares. You could always use those too.

  17. 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!

  18. Finally a house with a happy ending!

  19. 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!!

  20. 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.

  21. Wow, this is ultimate 1960's vibe. Everything about it! It's almost like it beamed here from some other planet! It does have a happy feel about it!

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

  23. EVERYBODY needs to see this video. I met Steve two weeks before he died!

  24. You have very smart and informative videos. I have seen most of them. But, you carry a firearm, a knife AND pepper spray every day? WHERE do you live that you would need all that? Maybe you should move.

  25. 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!!

  26. 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.

  27. Great video. You should have stopped a couple times to get some shots Inside the abandoned buildings.

  28. 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!!
