Our summer cottage on Lake Michigan did not have indoor plumbing thru 60s and 70s. But man we had a blast!!! I bet they never ran indoors soaking wet to announce they finally got up on one ski.

Very nice video. Only thing is trying to reason him spending the money on this house when his miners were poor, overworked, and in debt to his company store. Sad the way they spent money and never thought twice about their employees.

Thank you so much for this wonderful tour of The Elms. I grew up in NE and visited the Mansions several times; I've always favored The Elms. I moved across the country 15 years ago and, due to health issues, rarely travel now. I know I'll never enjoy the mansions in person again so your time and effort in making and sharing this video is so very appreciated. (nice choice of music, btw) :)

Thank you for you encouraging response. I have done a number of videos on touring the Newport mansions and still have a number to release. This is one on Marble House which I have uploaded to You Tube but not released to the public. The link is: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rc5ifKSX3tzTiac.html if you would like an early look at it.

I remember going through this when I was in college with my dad. He liked the house but was kindof grim. When I asked him about it, he mentioned that my grandfather, who was a coal miner, had worked for Mr. Berwind.

It's a hell of a house... have seen it a number of times. The builders' disconnect, notwithstanding.. it really is a showcase of history and craftsmanship. This was a good presentation.

Gods2ndFavoriteBassPlyr Your comments are appreciated as you see the structure for what it is and don’t get hung up on how the original owner made his wealth as many do. It is as you say “a showcase of history and craftsmanship”. Many thanks for your observations.

Even though it is breathtakingly beautiful. I get a sinking feeling in my stomach. I think about all the poor people who were robbed of their wages and lives, so people could live like this.

I do wonder how servants were treated, idk, even if I had a ton of money, I think 2500 sq. ft is plenty of living space?

I heard your comment that Mr Berwind's bedroom was much smaller than his wife's. This is true for most of these "cottages" since the wives stayed in Newport for the summer while their husbands worked and stayed in the city only coming up for the weekends. I am disappointed that you did not video the magnificent inlaid marble table in the upper hall: it was put in before the roof was completed and was to be destroyed (too heavy to move) when the house was slated for demolition before being saved to become a museum. Note on building the "cottage" - the stonecutters got the highest pay at $2.00 per day!

@@PierreRepooc It's weird, but when I took the backstairs tours and got up to the servants' rooms on a brutally hot day, the curtains were literally on the ceiling from the stiff breezes coming in. Much cooler than the main bedrooms!

@stucannon1 3 жыл бұрын

Looks like the bedrooms are also storage. It would be strange to have all of the seating that they have. Not even able to walk around the room.

@jamesclendon4811 3 жыл бұрын

I thought all the seating in the bedrooms was very strange too. Who sat in all those chairs? Weren't there sitting rooms nearby to informally visit with family or close friends? Did they have to be in the actual bedrooms?

I thought that the volume and choice of the music was fine, but it should have been lowered when he was talking, then brought back up to normal volume. This takes more work, but would make a big difference. Otherwise, a very nice video.
