Please, please turn your phone on its side to record your videos in landscape view. This upright view is appropriate for short videos such as those shown on Tik Tok. Landscape will eliminate the jerky camera movement as there will be no need to move the camera to follow the speakers. I cannot attend these tours in person as I live 500 miles away but I grew up in Wheeling and love its architecture. Would you want to view my photos of National Parks, Ireland, and Scotland in this format or in the panorama of Landscape?
My Dad's Mother's Aunt was Mrs. Mary (McEntee) Muldoon (1827-1897 ) wife of Thomas Muldoon (1827-1888). The Muldoon's ran a grocery and tombstone business at 1920 Main Street in Wheeling in the late 1800s.
Wow, this is an excellent video and some wonderful buildings. What are you going to do with the antique water heaters and toilets in the upstairs apartments? Good luck with your plans - hope to visit the final results one of these times when I'm in Wheeling. Gene
Marie Woods Driehorst was my grandmother. Her son William “Bill’ Woods was my father. I was born in Wheeling and lived in this house until I was 2 years old when we moved to Florida. My brother Rolf attended Linsley and my twin sister DeeDee attended the Mount. I stayed in Florida but later attend Bethany College. Every summer we flew to Wheeling and stayed with Nana as we all called her. She always took us to Elby’s, Elm Grove drive-in, Oglebay Park, and the Shrine circus. We played pool in that billiard room for hours and hours. It wasn’t mentioned but there was a large Elk head and moose head mounted on the wall in that room. My brother has the pool table in his house now. Nana was a wonderful grandmother and I’m sure many of your viewers also remember her. She had many friends in Wheeling. This house holds the best memories of my childhood. I hated to see it leave the family after Nana died. I got to tour the house a couple years ago and saw all of the improvements Mike made. I hope the next owners love this house as much as we did. You can contact me at 903-327-4991 if you want to share your memories of this house.
My wife and I just bought a little 2 bedroom Victorian on main Street 9/26/23 we look forward to working with Wheeling heritage and Wheeling friends. Betsy you are doing amazing things in Wheeling we look forward to meeting you soon. Stay positive and powerful
Great tour! I wish Betsy had her own Victorian home restoration show. She’s such an eloquent impromptu speaker and provides such detailed descriptions.
@@ES-pc8kf I am now using an iphone 14 pro to do the live streaming. I could not find a landscape option in the settings. The last time I tried the iphone came up with error message so I returned to portrait. Any other suggestions?

Beautiful Victorian house I lived there for Off and for those twenty years my mother was a permanent resident for twenty years ran those steps to third floor So many times so glad the present owner treasures it My name Dorothy browning Braunlich present callifornia resident Thanks for this lovely surprise
This was super cool to see. My grandmother, Dorothy May Browning, owned this home for about 20 years. I came back and visited a few times in the '90s and stayed on the 3rd floor. My grandmother is still alive and kicking at age 94 and lives in California.
I attended church here in the 80's with my grandma! Oh the memories!! It was a beautiful, thriving church!! The basement is where we had Sunday school! I have soooo many memories of this church. Has anyone bought it and ate there plans on restoration??
I don't think a Scottish Rite Mason would say and especially on a video "built like a brick s@#t hous". Tacky! Between the two of them , well enough said.
We apologize. This is first time we tried live streamed. There were a handful of people nearby talking. Immediately after this video we purchased wireless mikes. Future videos have much better sound and we know to avoid people talking.
How's the reno going Betsy? I bet it's costing you a lot more than your original guestimate. I'm so pleased you are persevering. It will be a wonderful house when finished.
In years past, the best materials were put on the first floor as that was the only floor seen by most guests. This can be seen in how the staircase transitions from the first to second floors as Betsy notes. Typically, different species of wood were used on the first floor versus higher floors for the same reason. Walnut, oak, cherry, etc. might be used on the first floor while pine and less expensive hardwoods on the higher floors. Plaster reliefs would be less ornate on the higher floors too. This implementation style carried forward into most per-WWII construction, which also required a higher degree of craftmanship. All this being said, Betsy has a gem there and am glad it is in good hands. Best to her in her renovation effort.
