Restored Liberace Mansion Gets Historic Designation 

The person who saved this beautiful artifact should be awarded a Nobel prize or some sort of recognition given to him as he is a real humanitarian.

I knew someone would save it. Good. I got tickets to see him back in the 70s, as kind of a joke. No one thought I'd go. I went and took my little boy. Liberace was fabulous and my kid became a musician.

The house should have always been open to his public. As he would have said: 'After all you paid for it'

Glad they did the right thing here with Liberace's Home in Vegas.

What a great man to do something like this that will keep his legacy in tact. I had the fortunate luck of meeting Liberace in NYC after a Madison Square Garden event in 1957. I was 7 years old and we were having dinner at the spindle top restaurant in NYC. Liberace was at the next table with a friend and my mom said look son there's Liberace. I asked her if I could get his autograph and she walked over first after he was finished with dinner and he signaled me to come over. He asked me what my name was and signed a table menu placard that was the waiters card for how you wanted your steak prepared. The back was just a white blank so it was perfect for his autograph and a note he wrote. I still have the autograph in my office today framed and in view for anyone who comes in to see. I'm glad that his home is being restored and his memory is being relived through the work of such diligent people who valued his contributions to the city and the music world 60 years after I had the pleasure of meeting him one evening.

I love the idea of replacing the pool with the performance room. after touring the house in the mid 90's, was so sad to see it had been left empty. Many thanks to the gentleman that saved it, and for Clark County as making it a designated historic piece of local history.

IT'S A GREAT THING THIS MAN DID TO PRESERVE THE LIFE MUSIC AND CAREER OF LIBERACE.

My mom (RIP) absolutely LOVED Liberace. Thank you sooo much for saving this piece of our culture.

The last I had seen the place was deserted and left to rot. Its nice that someone stepped up to restore it, though I am surprised that no one in the entertainment industry lifted a finger to help save it. I wish the new owner much success with it.

God bless that man I can't beleive Vegas would just allow a Legend's home to just decay that way smh

I am so glad that someone saw how important this is to our history. No matter whether you like him or not, Liberace was an original, amazing performer, and big part of old Vegas. Great job!!

Wow, after just watching a video showing the Mansion in disrepair this is wonderful to see. Thank you so much for buying this property and restoring it to Liberace's unique taste. 😃👍

This man deserves an award or two!!

Back in 1984 my wife and I were living in Melbourne Australia. We went to see him perform that Saturday evening. It was a show like no other . and despite the cost of the tickets, I have no regrets in paying for them. It was an evening to remember and he played encore after encore . I think we all flew high going home. So glad we saw him as we had no idea that in a couple of years he would be deceased. Great man with a huge heart

Wonderful! In a town not known for keeping it's history this is amazing. They may wish to do what they do at President Eisenhower's farm in Gettysburg, PA. No one drives to the home at all. You park in a distant lot, buy your ticket and board a bus. Only the bus goes there and only a few times a day.

I am beyond thrilled that his home has been restored. Last I saw it was in disrepair. I bet Liberace is looking down with a smile on his face. TY for restoring his home!

Thank you so very much Mr. Ravenhill for restoring and preserving this beautiful Liberace landmark/home. Such a shame that all his family cared about was taking his money by auctioning and selling off the furnishings before you could decide what to keep in the home for historical legacy.

Having been raised in Las Vegas, I'm very glad to see this. Too many historic buildings have been wiped off the map, only to wind up a rusty sign in a sign company's lot.

Thank you, sir, for restoring and loving this unique property!

As a fan of Liberace (because my parents enjoyed him very much) - and a former Las Vegas resident, I am SO happy this happened. The house was in terrible disrepair. It was very sad. THANK YOU to this wonderful man and his plan to bring it back! And, it's wonderful to see city government doing something GOOD for a change. BRAVO! Liberace (I'm sure) is smiling.

I am so happy to see this restoration. Liberace was fabulous and his legacy needs to continue. Bravo!!

I watched his program when I was about 6 years old every time I could. this is great America thanks you.

Thank you so much for restoring this piece of Liberace's history because it should be saved he was a magnificent pianist and should be revered as such God bless you !!

I think Liberace would have been thrilled with his home being a landmark. Liberace should be remembered. He was an important part of history. He paved the way for many, many people in all different ways. He should be celebrated.

Thank you Mr. Ravenhill and Clark County for doing this for Lib! I know he is so happy and greatful you have all stepped up and protected him and his legacy! I am greatful! Thank you all!!

Very interesting. This was how he lived. He was a showman and a gentleman. Thank you for preserving some of Las Vegas history.

so happy you did this! i was in in tears when i saw how run down it had become. Liberace was bigger than life and seemed to be such a nice gentleman from a bygone era. thankyou sir!

Mr. Ravenhill is a very fine man to have bought Liberace's home. Mr Liberace was a man with unique talents and a very kind and gentle soul. Mr Ravenhill , thank you very much.

Liberace was an early TV star - he had millions of fans and was a fantastic showman.

It's nice to see this being done. Liberace was an important entertainer, despite what one might think of the nature of his shows. He was unique, larger than life and he should be remembered for the sake of history. I wish I'd seen his act - what a hoot!

This is great to see!!! Last I heard, the place had fallen into disrepair and was possibly going to be torn down. God bless this wonderful man!

Beautiful restoration! So happy someone appreciated him and his talent. Elegant.

Thank you Mr. Ravenhill you surely did the right thing for history, you are a special person for taking on this home and restoring it. God bless.

Amazing. Glad someone is preserving this mans story.

As a fan of Liberace, it broke my heart when I had seen a RU-vid video of how Liberace's one-time glorious mansion had fallen into serious disrepair. I am so glad that someone cared enough about Liberace's legacy to step in and save this iconic mansion from falling into total devastation until it had to be torn down. Thank you Mr. Ravenhill for honoring the memory of Liberace and restoring his magnificent home!

Awesome im binge watching everything Liberace....discovery him really for the 1st time in 2023 .❤❤thankyou for keeping his story alive.❤❤

I firmly believe that if the movie "Behind the Candelabra" was never made, Liberace's home would not have been restored. That movie brought back the memories of Liberace that many people were starting to forget. I'm so glad that someone decided to give Liberace's home the restoration that it deserves.

The Commissioners really did the right thing here. They should be happy they even have this in their town, beautiful.

Liberace was definitely over the top. Never saw his Vegas show, but when he was on TV, you knew you would be entertained. A definite one-of-a-kind, no one will replace him, at least not soon.

Liberace was one of the greatest showmen, if not the greatest showman, to ever exist. The next time I'm down there I would like go on a tour of his mansion. Thank you to the British gentleman who kept the dream alive.

So glad to see this after I watched a old video of its demise...

GOD BLESS YOU!! His life need's to be celebrated for the Joy he gave everyone!

I'm so glad that someone has restored this iconic home. There's another video on RU-vid that shows the dilapidated condition this home was in back in 2011.

Thankyou Mr Ravenhill, So much is learned from Liberace's legacy. Culture, beauty and manner's from the man himself.

Fabulous restoration, I have always been a fan of Liberace since he played on t.v. in the 1950's with the candalabra on his piano. I think he is possibly one of the best entertainers ever on the piano. I always wanted to marry him--oh well. Sleep in peace Lee!

Well im glad to hear that he had the home declared as Historic. Before some fool came along and knocked it down to make way for low income housing, or some other builder grade development. He certainly has a long way to go to furnish the home as opulent as Liberace had it.

Thank you for giving Liberace's legacy a chance. Nobody ever controlled a piano the way he did. He was one of the all time great entertainers and he deserves to be recognized as such.

Thank you for this wonderful restoration! Ever since I learned years ago the something like 90% of all of our silent films were lost, I have become very sensitive to the fact that society's and cultures need to preserve some of these touch stones to our heritage- a wonderful addition to the cause! Would love to be able to go and visit someday...

I remember my parents took me to see Liberace in Las Vegas about 1978. He was so entertaining and magnificent! I was mesmerized by his piano playing. He always seemed like the nicest and fun person!

Great guy. He did an amazing service to American culture. Thank you!!

I hope it is opened to the public one day.

So glad this has been done. I saw the property a few years ago while in foreclosure. I actually was ab,e to look in the windows....some original details still intact. It's great to see it restored.

Thank you for restoring the Liberace mansion. I will be interested in visiting it.

I'm also glad that someone cared enough to restore it,wow.I just looked at the video of how it looked before AMAZING!!/and very cool.

I am so pleased to know that there are people in this city that believe in preserving our past, and no destroying it for profit! I'm very excited about this!

My mother always loved watching him perform. Unlike now days he was first and always a entertainer.

So happy Liberace's opulent home is beautifully repaired and designated as an important part of Las Vegas history!!! ♡

So glad to hear this may he RIP and his memory continue on...

Bravo. As a person who walked by this house as a young child and saw Liberace working in his garden, it makes me very happy to see this preserved. Regardless of how you may feel or have felt about Liberace, he was a part of this town in its infancy.

That is so wonderful this man bought Liberace’s home and has been renovating it. A beautiful soul to do this💙♥️

I'm inspired to see that someone cares enough to preserve this historical home with the memories intact. I love piano music more than anything and Liberace was the absolute best. We will all miss him and the beautiful music only he could create.

Excellent job of recreating this home. I'm sure Liberace would be so proud! It's great news.

What a beautiful Restoration!

Thank you for restoring Liberaces mansion. I saw pictures of how run down it looked for awhile. Liberace was a great entertainer! He had legions of fans. I loved his flair and beautiful smile.

Thank you sir for doing this. He was a lovely man and entertainer.

This is good news. Liberace was so gifted and loved by so many. He got negative press, but he handled it well. No one can deny he had remarkable talent when it came to playing the piano. He was happy in his own skin. Not too many people can say that in today's world.

So happy to see this!..Good going Clark County...and to the Mr. Who bought it good for you too....this is terrific☺...

To the Gentleman from Britain, thank you for restoring the home.

Great someone restored it!

Yipeeee! So glad to see the house saved in such a wonder way! Thank you sir 4 saving it!

As Alice Kramden once BELLOWED to Ralph: .."...I don't want to watch these four walls, that sink or that Ice Box...I WANT TO WATCH LIBERACE!"...And he was a 'Star' of early TV....and continued on..

out standing job..... love to see projects like this completed

You're a Wonderful man. Thank you for buying this house and bringing it back to it's original beauty. Liberace is looking down on you and admiring all you have done. Blessings to you Sir.

So nice to see it’s been restored❣️R.I.P. now Piano Man🎹🎼😘😘

Good for you Mr.Ravenhill, well done!

Liberace was quite a character! I'm happy to see that this was rescued. It's a unique piece of history.

awesome Liberace deserves to be remembered

Glad you brought the soul back to Liberace's house and which he loved and lived in. Brilliant

Im glad that someone brought it to restore. Lots of beautiful things inside.....

This is wonderful news! I am so glad that Liberace's home has Clark County's historic designation and will be preserved.

about damn time, nevada. and its a damn disgrace that any private person had to take first action to invest it all themselves. out of pure love, which vegas / nevada should have shown to the building ages ago. i mean i guess in that city alone are numerous spots "where someone famous lived" and not all can be declared historic sites. but given the thought how big liberace was and that he practically invented showbusiness as we know it today....as i said, about time.

This home, Mr. Ravenhill, is just beautiful, thank youxoxox

This is an AMAZING and extremely generous gift to music lovers everywhere.

I was on of the last to tour the museum.I am happy to see that you have undertaken Liberates house.Terrific! He was such a talent!!

Oh boy I loved him when I was little. When he came on TV I was glued until his show was over.

Liberace was a very kind person. And next to that a very great pianist. The hours and hours spent practising must of been tremendous. No one gets that good without practicing.

Thank you for preserving it. Nice to see people appreciate class.

so glad it was preserved. would love to tour it one day.

I also watched the video where the house in disrepair. I'm so happy that it's been restored. It's beautiful. Thank you!

I am so glad to see this happen, he had a long, storied career!!

Wonderful to see this restored...I took guests to visit before it fell into desrepair....thank you..

Well done! Loved this fixerupper! She be magnifique! And how very interesting - loved the developer's new home - the closet!! What a minimalist! :) If I ever do go to Vegas, I will make sure I can go on a tour! I love historical homes, places, palaces, buildings - they have stories to tell.

Nice that the mansion was restored so that his fans can see how he lived.

This is wonderful..I hope it is a success..

I would love to walk through every inch of this mansion!! God bless you! Thanks for sharing!

He told Elvis that he should jazz up hi wardrobe make it Flash. So he helped The King

Awesome restoration in memory of a great entertainer. Thank you Mr. Ravenhill!

Very happy to see this mansion restored back to its originality. This man is doing a wonderful job with very deep pockets. I’ve seen the House when it was abandoned and wasn’t sure it could be saved but it has been.

I recall a visit to lee's first home in the Sherman Oaks, CA area, Sorry i never made it to this area and see this home. Glad i did study the piano, and stay at home, So happy now to play piano for many dinner parties and events. Glad someone has restored this home and some of its belongings. I hope to see it someday if that is possible. Always, Cowboy / Piano Man Greg W. Hillsboro, Oregon Wine Country !!!!

Thanks for saving his mansion Mr Ravenhill!
