Where in Georgia is this house?

Kappy, I did what you recommended and everything is still bright. Still, from what I’m able to see, looks like a gem of a house.

@@Chrisss2112 I’m sorry, the video isn’t even loading for some people, KZfaq can be very frustrating!

It didn't come out bad to me!

3 hours so far

Probably cost prohibitive. And then bringing it up to code...

It is actually for sale again and seen it in the realtor ads. It is one of many that is deemed historic so I guess there is a lot of rules when restoring it. I love the house and would love to see someone bring it back to its glory days.

greyeaglem, Would you be able to advise about restoring early 1800s Georgia houses?

@@chalcedony6858 I just have an amateur level interest in architecture. I wish I had studied it, but I didn't. If you have a project like that the best advice I could give would be to do all the research you can about that era. If you hire people to work on it, try to find ones that are also interested in architecture. A lot of damage gets done by people not caring about maintaining the integrity of the original design and often because it adds a lot of cost to the project. I know a guy who did a restoration that cost more than the house did. He does have a beautiful house now though. He even had stained glass pieces made for windows that were copies of designs from a local stained glass company from the 1800s. He also found a place that still makes the push button electric switches that were original to the house. He had a lot of fun finding companies that could copy light fixtures, etc. for him.

Thank you for the historical insight and info. Otherwise this video contains nothing but the words “very pretty”.

For that age ..was thinking federal style too. I wonder what it originally looked like.

@@vannjunkin8041 Now I'm not so sure it was remodeled. I have seen another video since then of another brick house that is part federal, part Queen Ann and part gothic. At first I thought it was built onto, but now I'm thinking it was built all at once with mixed styles because it has 6 over windows throughout. I may be wrong though because it also had the windows that come all the way down to the floor and that was more of an antebellum thing. Really hard to say. If part of the house has 6 over windows and the other part is single or two pane windows, then it's likely colonial with an addition.

Rose Andulics.......I sooooo agree with you “Victorian” has always been my favorite architecual style

I second that! I'd love have coffee in morning & glass wine at night on that porch. I love details in house as beautiful as that

Me too!😍 It looks similar to the house I grew up in. Love it!😍

I'd love to sit there with you

ME TOO!!😃😃

I wish i could afford to buy this house.

I was wondering about squatters too. Such a beautiful house and so well built. Built with pride. I hope it is saved and treated with the respect it deserves.

Looked like a place people were making drugs

floor

I had no problem, either. Gorgeous house!

👍👍👍👍 my thoughts exactly.

If I could only hit the lottery. HEAR ME, LORD?

@@imasonofadeadbeat2928 right!!!

Luckily homes in this town are being saved slowly. I’m praying this one is next

I totally agree! I’m interested in the architecture - not the trash. Looks like someone was intending to fix up the place but something happened. That place could be made beautiful again. I don’t think it would cost a million, maybe a couple hundred thousand.

@@desperadorose7054 ---and worth every penny! We lose too much of the beauty and wonderful craftsmanship, only to be replaced with cracker-box tract houses, modern faceless lackluster piles of concrete, architects' dreams (that look like nightmares to my old eyes), and condos (modern hives for humans). Wish people with money and love of good architecture and craftsmanship would find Kappy's site to find gems like this on which to spend some of it. Stay safe.

@@desperadorose7054 It would cost more than that I think. Probably needs to be rewired, some kind of central heat installed and then plaster repairs, etc. I would love to see someone take it on though.

What part of GA?

Ot wpuldnt take that much to fix it up if your handy wireing water and roof then any water damage then each room as you go cleaning it up would take awhile

@@johnhawk9321 Agreed there are non profit organizations that do just that restoring abandoned mansions.

Yes read the description

Yes the house looks late 19th Century definitely. I see nothing that looks to be earlier. It's beautiful don't get me wrong

A lot of the houses in this area sadly modernized in the 1890s-1920s. We owned one in this town that was modernized and took it back to as original as we could

At least tell us the State and year filmed. That upstairs doorway to death should have been closed for safety reasons. Nice find.

I'd be interested in buying and restoring it

@@thomasewing2656 Kappy DID detail both of those? The date it was filmed was: January 7th of this year(2021) as noted in the subscript beneath the title (as it is in ALL the vids posted here!) Secondly, immediately below that date is Kappy's descriptive paragraph which starts with "It was a chilly morning in Georgia. Your lack of attention to these details is surprising considering what you DID notice about the house itself? ;-)

I seem to find a common thread with alot of these houses is greed. The spouse or child that inherits the home has no connection to it and would rather let it rot than let it revert back to the family they worked so hard to get it from.

Ikr just think of all the storms that it has seen and it is still amazing

The home really became more run down in the 2000s. When I was a child I thought it was amazing and called it the gingerbread house. It makes me sad to see it this way.

It's the Pendelton- Graves house, Sparta, Georgia.

I’m pretty sure it’s not much money to buy it! You’ll be surprised how much these abandoned homes go for.

If they do not sort themselves out, a lot of good houses will be lost to decay or fire.

Absolutely @SarahStrong , I live in a rural area. And I can't count how many homes here are tied up. And most of the folks don't need the house. BUT, in the county I live in NO ONE sells property. My home was built in 1902, and my family has lived here since the town, county was formed. Our "family" home place can never be sold nor can money be borrowed against it.

@@billiehorne8027 Great that your family have somewhere to return to.

Not being fought over. The person who bought this house was renovating in back in the 90s. A friend I know was helping him. He died suddenly and the house was eventually sold. It’s been empty for years and my friend has no further info on it. It’s just sitting going to decay. But there’s similar houses in this old town similar to this house being bought, renovated and restored. I’m hoping this house will be saved too.

@@madambutterfly5343 I know you probably don't want to elaborate on exact location, understandably but what part of GA? Not town just general (North, West, East or South).
