A look at the once abandoned Selma Plantation in Virginia. This home is no longer abandoned and has been restored. This video was filmed before the current owner purchased and restored the property.

In 1990 I attended the wedding reception of a congressman's daughter there. I remember approaching the house on a driveway that seemed to be a mile long. We had cocktails in the room with the piano and tables were set in that beautiful foyer for dinner. It was a relatively small group of about one hundred people and we all had a wonderful time. The house was magnificent! I never would have guess the house would ever be in that condition. What a shock to see it in this unbelievable state, but so very happy to see below that it is now undergoing restoration. The sense of history and the architecture are two of the things I miss the most about living in the Washington, D.C. area.

How come some houses are left for vandalist's, and other's can keep very old fine furniture's and other stof inside, and nobody removes them, are they not all to respect as past living homes for somebody. When I se the video from ,Belle Grow' in the south I cry, because it is obvius, that it does not matter, that an importent piece of history, ends up in decay and fall. Thank you for showing these forgottens places, hopefully the goverment's around the world, who look the other way, will come up with a better solution than decay and fall.

We dont know this problem from Denmark, where I am from, because it is a very small country, and prominent houses are well garded, even they are empty. As I wrote yearlier, 'Belle Grow' makes me so sad and angry, because she must have bin the history from the south, if any. I also think about the Byron House as well, sad as it is, the mansion is almost gone, keep on the good work, I follow allmost every day, because I read with great pleasure about forgotten times.

+Janne Petersen I agree that it is a shame that these old homes are left to rot. You can just imagine the halls filled with elegant men and women. When you refer to a historical significance, you have to also acknowledge that plantation life was comfortable for the people owning the land and not so much for the people toiling that soil. This is not so much a remark about slavery (although that is also the case), but of the decadence enjoyed by individuals who benefitted by a system that impoverished a whole class of people. There was a great migration and the fall out meant less income and less of the workers who serviced these people because they lacked options or education. Some of those old plantation homes should rightfully return to the soil.

It's really important for people/banks to move these places on if they cannot restore or maintain them. At least the former occupants' personal things were dealt with. Not all people are so fortunate. We used to live next to a huge abandoned mansion in Cobbs Creek, Virginia that was owned by the Meade's. Unfortunately, they died childless and left the old place to a "loving" nephew, who "honored" the couple's memory by immediately calling in an auctioneer to get rid of their most valuable things, leaving the place so unlocked that raccoons and vines moved in and entwined themselves on drapes and furnishings, and allowing his aunt's personal hygiene products, cosmetics, and old love letters to be strewn about the house for years. He just let it sit open for quite a while before he cashed the property in with a buyer. All of these things were found when the local volunteer fire department eventually came to burn the place to the ground in a training exercise (and to solve the demolition problem of the new owner). People who walked through the home before the blaze could not believe how the Meade's heirs (among whom there was that nephew) had treated their personal things. Makes the childless think twice before willing money to a relative just on account of blood relations. If you ARE fortunate enough to be left property, do not let it rot away and more importantly, spare your relatives the dishonor and posthumous humiliation of having their unmentionables and personal items displayed for the general public.

Mr. and Mrs. had no children and left everything to a nephew who really let the place got straight to Hell, never took proper care of their personal effects, and cashed out big time when he could. The house was burned (as I said above) as a fire-department training exercise and because it was far too gone from having its doors left wide open for two-three years. The rubble was used to fill in the two basements, and a man who had the contract for security cameras on navy ships bought the plot and built a huge monstrosity about 500' closer to the river than the original house was. Please do tell though, what you have learned about Fort Meade!

Wow, that house has some amazing, old architectural details still intact. In particular, it is especially awesome to see sooo many bathrooms with their turn of the century tile work, sinks, tubs, and even toothbrush holder mounts STILL in place!! It is nearly always the kitchens and bathrooms that lose their period details first, so it is a shame to see a home with so many old details decaying away. The staircase is impressive too. Thank you for showing us such a unique and lovely, large old home! One last thought too...I live in a circa 1913 home and have many period details that I need to put BACK into my home. We don't have many architectural salvage yards in the Denver metro area, and it would be great to have access to more materials at a better price. I sure wish there was some way to obtain the architectural salvage items in these old homes left to decay into oblivion, and instead transfer them to lived in homes for further use. The quality of many old items is far superior and more unique/beautiful than most of the garbage we make today....and at a minimum it is also easier on the wallet and helps spare the environment when old materials are repurposed. So why is it not more common that these sorts of old resources are pooled, sold, and re-utilized?!

Carol Dharkling Yes, that's true... but also, due to its location, just the land is probably worth a fortune... so they want to hold it as an investment. Problem is that most of these old mansions are impractical today. They cost a fortune to keep up, heat, cool, etc.. as well as taxes and insurance. So there's a lot more to saving one of these mansions than just repairing the structure and decorating. Someone would have to have VERY deep pockets to fix it up and live in it... what a shame. If I'm not mistaken, Leesburg was traditional hunt country... horses and hounds. I think the Kennedy brothers lived around there when they were senators.

@phoenixman85698 жыл бұрын
yes, thank goodness they are still there, but being realistically the only reason they are still there, is that their is not any value for those type of things in the stolen goods department, thieves only want cash, bikes, electronics and copper wire pulled out of the walls to pay for their drugs, sad but true.

Hey Nassem grow a pair - slavery was a big part of America back in the day- it's about time to get used to the idea. The house that stood here before this place was built, was built by slave labor and from all accounts it was absolutely beautiful! So, to me, if slaves built something that nice, then SOMETHING good came from it all.
