At the time of the filming of this mansion, it was an unprotected location but I'm pleased to announce the mansion was recently listed under an LLC and is now being protected and preserved for many generations to come. The artifacts inside the mansion are all being saved and the wonderful family of Ollie Smith have gone to great lengths to preserve this beautiful piece of American history and its story for years to come!

I live in Birmingham, and I was blessed to meet the man Ollie Smith on his horse farm in Shelby Co. My father knew him well because he also worked at Alabama Power. My Dad bought me a horse from him and his horse trainer and Ollie taught me to ride. I can tell you he was so Southern, down to Earth and a character too!!!

This makes me think about how precious our lifetime is.

I learned in one of my Real Estate classes that the pocket doors where in these old houses because of tax reasons. The tax assessor would count rooms in order to come to the amount of the taxes to be paid. The pocket doors opened so that WHA LA !!! two rooms would be counted as one and in return would lower the property taxes. Thought you may want to know they double for privacy and taxes. I have enjoyed watching your post today and this house definitely my favorite.

Wow very interesting..never heard that before. But makes sense. Thanks 😂

This is absolutely the best abandoned home production I've ever seen. A couple of things you might find interesting: There were definitely redecorations in the 1980s or 1990s in the girl's room with the cat decorations. The blue swirly wallpaper is called Blue Provence Swirl and is made by the Waverly company. I believe the bedspread and other fabrics resemble Waverly, or another upscale fabric manufacturer. Probably from another decade, but there is also Waverly Country Life toile wallpaper in the room with the organ and sarcophagus. Pretty sure the wallpaper that coordinates with the pink Aubusson-style rugs in the entry is also Waverly but I can't place the pattern. Someone or her decorator had good taste! That's a sauna gadget in one of the bathrooms. My parents had one! The gold-colored jewelry box dates back to 1962. I smiled when I saw it, as I have a photo of my mother opening the same box as a Christmas gift. I think the manufacturer was Buxton. Thank you for sharing this fascinating home and its journey in caring from the young to the very old.

I had the same thought about the gold jewelry box. Definitely all costume jewelry inside of it. My Mother had one just like it. It’s also why I smiled when I saw it. You are correct about the sauna in the upstairs bathroom. Many of the ceiling fixtures looked to be original but a few were definitely replacements. The ( pink) carpet in the entry foyer was absolutely beautiful. So much of the wood work in the house has been painted. I’d love to see it refinished and restored to the original finish. Looked like some of the radiators leaked onto the wood floors. Crying shame. I was born in Alabama and have lived here most of my life. I’m glad the family has decided to protect and restore the house. It’s a site to behold.

The floor damage looks like it was caused from the radiators leaking. They had so many books back then because if you had to learn about something you read it in books. We didn't have internet and all the conveniences we have now. We went to the library.

Lol That’s the first thing I did, I even found his obituary 😔

The odd cabinet in the lady's bath is a personal sauna. The "immaculate" bedroom was Mrs. Smith's room. Her walker is by the closet door. She loved her kitty cat, who was her constant companion in her last illness. The blue bathroom was hers, too. I'm glad that the clothing and shoes are in good condition. Hopefully, they can be donated to disadvantaged women just entering the work force. So glad to know that these things will not simply molder away. I am struck by the disparity between the little lady, the seamstress who lived in the cottage on the coastal river down south. She surely never lived in such luxury, never saw such elegant antiques. She was a hardworking lady who used her hands to make clothing and to keep her house and raise her children. In the end, she was left all alone. Now, her meager possessions are turning to moldy dust. How different are this grand lady's remaining possessions, her masses of clothing and accessories waiting to be passed on. Her furniture and the Chinese artistry and objects which she cherished will, hopefully, be appreciated by her descendants. There is one thing both these ladies had in common, though. They left it all behind, everything they loved and made and bought and collected. They each entered eternity with nothing in their hands. Great explore, Jeremy! I enjoyed every moment! Thanks for letting us come along with you!

That's what I was thinking too.

Just to add to my previous comments. In the jewelry box, the necklace that you picked up has closed backs. This means that the stones are paste gems, or Rhine Stones, as anything with Diamonds would have open backs to allow for more light to come through. This is part of what makes a diamond setting more brilliant. Also, Diamonds would never really be set in Sterling, but they would be set in White Gold, or Platinum. Hope this helps.

For the same reason's that Diamonds are rarely set in 24 Karat gold because it is too soft and the stone would be lost very quickly as a result, it is not likely that the ring you refer to is a real Diamond, unless the Jeweller is a person of Questionable character. Pure Silver, regardless if it is plated is soft and therefore only semi precious stones are set in it. It is very likely the so called Diamond is an imitation stone, which are in some cases, very convincing in their brilliance.@@loisporter8489

Also, one little mistake was the reference to the room to the right of the entrance being the " boudoir" is actually incorrect. Boudoirs were often a room off the main or woman's bedroom or a dressing room. The correct name may be a receiving room where the woman of the house would entertain her female guests during the afternoon or while the men were in the other.

You tell these stories so well. Your voice is calming

You did a wonderful job of the tour, but let me help out a bit. The lady's room you were describing would have been a sitting room, parlor, or formal living room. A boudoir is a woman's bedroom or private room. The other area you were some what at a loss for is called a butler's pantry, That is where the main part of your crystal, china, and matching serving pieces would have been stored and displayed, protected by glass front doors to dissuade household dust from accumulating when stored between uses. Silver would be polished and stored there also. In the kitchen above the stove were molds for certain casseroles, salads, spreads, or desserts that would be chilled or frozen before serving and placed or turned out on a platter or tray with garnishes or relishes around it to serve. You didn't cook in them. Also, the architectural category for house design would be Greek Revival, not Victorian. Again though, you did a good job!👍

The magnitude of house ,and furnishings, and homeowners background is very interesting, I enjoyed this episode 😊

Jeremy, you have an eloquent way of narrating, with your incredible voice. The way you combine words into stories, is pure poetry, beckoning people's imagination into a glamorous world of days gone by. Combined with your videography skills, the results are very impressive. I would feel sad about the mansion being abandoned and so much of the contents left behind, if it wasn't clear to me that there are (descendants?) or someone hired to help distribute to family and or organize multiple estate sales. The many new large plastic storage containers with lids, waiting to be filled made me feel better. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I do feel most viewers would be more interested in what the date of a newspaper, calendar or the release date of some of those old books, rather than what the gentleman's prescriptions were. Sharing what the man read would surely give the very accomplished gentleman more honor. Respectfully

That unit in the bathroom is a steam sauna unit that can aid in arthritis therapy for the gentleman. This is a glorious home with so much historical beauty and value! What a treasure.

I have never wanted to jump on a plane & fly all the way to there, so much as I do right now!

I am flabbergasted. By the value. By the beauty. By the fact that it just sits there empty. I'd be very surprised to find anything similar abandoned here. The red rug has me coveting lol.

i could sit in the attic for days looking carefully through everything !!!!!

Great job on the video! So glad the family has secured it now. Also, the "old phone" in the kitchen was actually an old intercom system (the family would call the house staff if they needed something). And, the water damage on the dining room floor was probably a leak from the radiator. Nice job! 👍🌞

The floors were damaged by the radiators. Nothing was "spilled" on them. The radiators leaked all over the floors from years of sitting. I'm happy to hear someone is going to care for this home that was once loved very much.

All of the French decor mixed with oriental artwork and ceramics ( especially the blue and white ginger and temple jars and the pieces with florals and dragons, etc), toile wallpaper and fabrics etc is a decor style called CHINOISERIE. It is EXTREMELY popular and is experiencing a booming renaissance right now. When you were shiwing the little nicnacs on the radiator in that room there was a neon chartreuse colored shoe made out of uranium glass which is a very sought after collectible. Most of the clothes and shies are from the 80s. I worked in retail and recognize a lot of the brands and styles. That gown on the dress form is either from or a reproduction of an 1800s antebellum style gown. I enjoy your videos and narrations ... well done.

Stained glass is really interesting… great video, very thoughtful in your exploration… truly too bad if you can keep the roof from leaking these homes would last so much longer but the minute the roof leaks. They are not long for the planet. The box you sit in was a Sweat Box.. it heated water and you had a personal sauna.. definitely popular in the early 70’s.. Swedish influence 😊

This one is going in my all time favorites on you tube. I would LOVE this home !!!! That light blue fireplace and mirror. The art room would be so perfect for me ! Wow. I pray it isnt destroyed. It is much too precious! Please look into buying it kiddo!!!

I could watch these videos all day! I’m lucky enough to be able to tour many old homes with my job and am always so fascinated and immediately get taken back in time. I’m an old soul. I’m so glad I stumbled across your channel! Keep them Coming!

What an awesome house. Thanks for sharing. I really loved that old one person sauna in that upstairs bathroom. So cool. Can't wait to see more of your videos. Great job and love your voice as you tell the stories ❤

I really appreciate how careful and respectful you are of what you are seeing, even attempting to put things back right where they were (except moving the hats to try and preserve them which is true respect). A few notes for you. 1) The "old telephones" were not actual phones, but early intercom system and VERY cutting edge at the time. 2) The item you were looking at in the bathroom was an early sauna. Your head could stick out for air, but your body would get the steam. They were popular in the 1950s and 60s. 3) The collector dolls you were looking at vary in value from 50 to 500 dollars depending on which doll it is. 4) While it is very disappointing that thieves have somewhat ransacked the place, it's fairly obvious that they must have been very petty criminals, likely teens with no knowledge of what it was they were doing. Just in this casual walk through I noted several items that, while relatively small, had some significant value. There was a clock out in the foyer that, if an original (which I strongly suspect it is) would be worth at least 25K on open market, more at auction but they would want provenance), the painting of the little girl on the dressing room wall? If original, potentially priceless. There were some stunning statuary and small glassware from China and Japan that would easily fetch 5K and up each. Then there's the jewelry you held up. I am not an expert jeweler by any means, but I am in agreement with you that was most likely real gold and silver. I can't see someone of here wealth taste having a sterling silver piece of such workmanship and "going cheap" with fake diamonds, so those are more likely real than not. It's sad to see such a beautiful structure falling into such a state of disrepair, but I am heartened to hear that it is being restored and will be well cared for and maintained for generations to come

That necklace was a choker possibly probably white gold with diamonds. He was so down to Earth I never knew he had this mansion. I just thought he had the horse farm which was extensive.

Dude, you’re a true story teller! You have such a good voice and you know how to describe everything so well! Thanks for an awesome video! You have a new sub!

It was so interesting. I love your narration because you don't just talk to listen to yourself. You make it interesting and enjoyable. It's well balanced.

Absolutely stunning mansion with many treasures. Thank you for sharing this find. Love these video’s !!! Can’t wait to see more of them .

Es grato saber que sus herederos están recuperando esta hermosa mansión y preservarla para que generaciones venideras aprendan cómo vivían!! Gracias por vuestros comentarios 👏👏👏 Soy Argentina!! Un abrazo enorme 🤗🤗🤗

I absolutely loved this explore! What a beautiful home & of course you once again narrated this explore with your amazing choice of words that brings a true poetry to the explores of the past. On another note the medication you mentioned earlier by the name of Flomax, it isn't an antibiotic, it is a medication used for men that have a swollen prostate, so it allows for a better flow of urine to pass through the urethra. Thank you for bringing another wonderful place to light. I never get bored or tired of the places you choose to explore. Be safe & I look forward to the next one.

Thank you for taking us with you ❤ Love that beautiful dress !!!

I must say a big thanks to you for preserving this on video, as it now gone. At least it lives on here, where it can still be appreciated in some form.

I love this guys videos. I get so lost. He does such a good job. My girlfriend grew up in a house like this and the “servant” quarters were a very small section of the house. Every floor was connected by stairs that the family wouldn’t use. The kitchen was small, the staircases were narrow and that was because the people that lived there didn’t go in these areas. Only the servants did. The garden/ back entrance was one that the family didn’t use. The rest of the house had grand staircases, a ball room that was not connected to the servant area, dinning rooms. She used to live in the tiny bedroom that was above the kitchen because it was the fastest route to everything. It was incredible. Excellent job Jeremy. Absolutely love this.

A beauty of a house it could be fixed up again

That drawing room was a little creepy. It looked so clean, like someone was just waiting for you to leave so that they could get back to work.

I love all the colors in this home❤ the detailing is amazing. You can tell there was a lot of love put into this stunning home. TY for sharing!

You make great videos. I’m glad you are always respectful of the property. I want to explore places so bad. But your videos allow me to do so safely. Thank you for all you do!

This is the best video I’ve seen yet on a mansion in the U.S. The music, your heartfelt commentary, and the excellent filming, all really awesome. I especially like that it wasn’t trashed at all. Such a beautiful place! Thank you for this really great video!

Interesting mansion...I appreciate how when you enter a room you move slowly around with the camera to prevent one from getting whiplash. Thank you. It's great to hear this old home will be preserved, it has incredible items inside.

Awesome video! What a nice trip down memory lane. I love your narratives…great voice!

WOW! First time I watched any of your videos, and man this one got me hooked. So very interesting and cool. Thanks for the adventure!

Woo-hoo! This makes me happy, am glad you're alright! Was wondering. 🤗🙏🤓

It is so wonderful to hear that the family have decided to preserve their father and mothers home! It is a beautiful place with so much history and it deserves to have its life told… thank you Jer for all the time you put into telling us the story of these places. I would love to find one of these old places to restore just so even just one can be preserved! God be with you and keep you safe on your travels.🙏🌹

Great home tour! Great news about the family's devotion to preserving their history. I appreciate the tender respect and kindness you gave to this gentleman and his home.

Love the discovery of a lost life. Thank you for your delicacy of there privacy. The item in bathroom is a sauna. Like the one in Barbarella. I’d like to know What happened to the four children. Why they never went back. So sad.

Wow you have such a great voice and took us on a journey through this stunning house. The white dress took my breath away. I think the machine is the bathroom was a personal steam machine. I tried a modern version many years ago 😁😁. Do hope this place gets saved
