@@thejupiter2574 I've searched the Net on newspaper stories on it, but can't find any. It's sad that the house's celebrity attracted hoodlums to destroy it.
@@rockyracoon3233 And the reason it looked "so Southern" --- the owners in the early 1900s (Vera & Russell Hopkins) had ties to the Southeastern United States, and they're the ones who installed all of those gigantic columns around the house. (It didn't originally have any columns, just a small front stoop.)
So sad! I didn't know it was burnt down. I love Dark Shadows! Was only 3 when it first aired. I do remember watching it after school when I was 5 or 6. The series has a lot of inconsistencies. through out. I'm watching it currently, season 23. When Julia Collins goes to the mausoleum, the is no headstone on the secret chamber, as there should be. I'm also, watching "The Beginning" when Victoria Winters first arrives. In one episode Caroline tells Vicky all the widows who jumped off Widows Hill. She Mentions Josette Collins, married to Barnabas? Which we know didn't happen. I find this interesting. Because, ABC wanted cancel, (after 1st season) poor ratings. So the writer of the show, gave us Barnabas who makes first appearance episode 211? Also, on Naomi's headstone, has her year of death 1821. Which she died of suicide, 1797. Never noticed until watching episode 211 again.
Joshua Collins rewrote the family history to take out all the scandals. Naomi could never have been listed as committing suicide, so Joshua added more years to her life span to make it look as if she died of natural causes.
Apparently, Roger had the reputation of an irresponsible playboy. Just look at his two wives, Laura and Angelique (Cassandra)! And, in the early episodes, he seemed to be coming on to Vicky and even his own niece Carolyn!
She brought up Roger's stock in the company , so she was the Matriarch of Collin wood , Roger came back broke after playing with his money 💰 his wife left him with a son he was just working for company bill Malloy run it as full time ceo next to Mrs Stoddard
We're looking at 18th century society, legal, and cultural norms with a 20th or 21st century mindset. Women had few rights and were subjugated for the most part. The role of "Reverend" (cough) Trask seems to be the absolute opposite of what a member of the clergy should be. Self-appointed Inquisitor, rude, cruel, demanding, then a prosecuting lawyer as well? Very strange, indeed.
Naomi killed herself and there was no actual treasures buried with her.. Barnabas was cursed by Angelique and then marries the witch. And his life sucks from them on.. But I love him...
I really liked Joe but he did a great job of playing the villain in 1795. I never got to see the episodes in "the real present" that determined the destiny of Maggie and Joe, or even Sam.
