Tour a Posh Victorian World - Fulton Mansion - Rockport, Texas 

+Roy Davidson Roy, many thanks for watching and commenting on my video. Too many places to see, so little time! Thanks again! Dave.

yea burnt down in the civil war....dee

Betty, thanks for sharing. I know the next time I make it to the great state of Texas I will take another tour and capture/share the home in High Definition Video. Yes, this mansion is beautiful and full of history. Dave in Montana.

Have you ever seen the ghost? I have when I was a kid. I saw him standing behind one of the front door window, I remember thinking he looked like the kfc guy

They don’t build them like they used to! Thanks for watching and commenting. Dave.

+D. Hansel Thanks for your comments! Yes, I also would like to see a professional video. This video I captured was with an old analog camera many years ago. I guess the mansion was quite rundown at one time, harboring ghosts and neighborhood kids sneaking in! I am glad it has been protected and preserved for all of us to see, enjoy and learn from. Thanks for your comments! Dave in Montana.

Thank you for watching my video and asking questions. The only basement that I know is the area just under the main first floor, possibly 1/2 to 3/4 height basement? I believe it contained the utilities since this home had full amenities. I am pleased you enjoyed my brief tour of this beautifully restored mansion. You are right, EVERYTHING is BIGGER in Texas! Dave in Montana.

I saw the ghost standing behind one of the front door windows, I was like 8 years old, and my parents were visiting it, I snatched some rocks and then felt as if someone was telepathically telling me to put it back, and when I turned I looked directly at this person that was all white, he looked like the kfc guy, I got scared so I left the rocks behind true story lol

Thanks for viewing my video and commenting on the tabby construction. Local materials were ingeniously used for construction since transportation costs were so high. Thanks again for commenting! Dave in Montana.

From what I understand, years ago it was in the center of a trailer park. The place was rundown and the kids knew it was haunted, like a prop from the Adams Family. Thanks for viewing and commenting. Dave.

+Greg Appelgren Greg, thanks for watching and commenting on my video. The main reason (as I have been told) for the 12' ceilings and interior tall doors in older homes and offices (some with windows above the doors) is to help disperse the toxic air and gasses from wood/coal burning fireplaces and stoves. It also helps move the hot air around instead of being trapped in the room with the heat source. It also keeps all the unbreathable air farther away from the people who lived/worked in these environments. Thanks again for asking such an interesting question! Dave in Montana.

Thanks for reply. Wow! That makes sense so it was not just for style but for function. I then might guess in hot weather the warmer air would be up at high ceiling as well. To Big a new house today in the manner of the old days might cost $300 or more per sq ft.

To build...I meant :)

+Greg Appelgren With our HVAC systems piping temperature controlled and filtered air to each room, tall ceilings are now just for aesthetics. What impresses me is the beautiful woods and detailed craftsmanship they put into homes back then, even in a "common folks" home. I guess with the current price of real woods and the labor costs to mill and install, only few can afford to build like this. I will stick to my 60's built spec home. Its paid in full so I guess that counts for something!!! Do have a terrific week! Dave.

True, I noticed it too, he misspoke himself, so it seemed?

Lois Courtney , thought I was imagining the name switch,,so I’m not crazy lol

+jeff moore Jeff, a haunted house wouldn't be the same without a "Becky" following us around keeping us on our toes (and out of camera frame!) Thanks for the catch! Glad you enjoyed the video as much as we enjoyed the tour. Someday I will return and capture in HD! Dave in Montana.

when I was 8 years old my parents took me to this place , and I remember running around the house and doing mischievious things, then while we were leaving, I took a rock from the landscaping and pocketed it, then I felt like someone was looking at me, and turned backward and saw a white figure that reminded me of the KFC guy, and I told my grandma to look, and she looked and he disappeared, and I sort of felt like I shouldn't take the rock, then I put it back, and walked away, and just to test it, I grabbed another one and looked, and he was there again looking at me. pretty interesting stuff, that's a true story

Would be nice to see it. Usually richer homes like this did not have fancy kitchens as they mostly had people cooking for them, and they did not seem to bother quite a much with them. So it may not be too fancy?

Sharon, you are right! The audio was poor. I wish I had a remote microphone to capture the tour guides voice. Thanks for watching and commenting. Dave.

Sweet! This is what a doll house SHOULD look like, almost whimsical. Thanks for commenting. Dave.

supeer late reply, but yes it is, ive seen George fulton with my own eyes, looking out the front door window when I was a little kid causing mischief

👌

OMG I SAW IT

Did you see it b4 you saw my comment or did you see my comment and then look?

@@andreaxoxo4034 saw it then replied when I saw ur comment I had to look for a while but I found it

@@cailynnoconnor1456 I briefly looked at other comments & I didn't see 1 other person that said what I did... I wonder if it's haunted!! Probably not, it's most likely just spirit energy but I'm glad you were able to see it too!! Where are you at in this huge planet? I'm in Tulsa Oklahoma... hopefully I'll get in Colorado soon, but for now, Tulsa & it sucks here!

+Jami Kacperski Modern air conditioning was invented in 1902. This house had an ice maker (patented in 1867) in the basement that made tons of ice. The central heating system drew air from the ice cooled basement and cooled the rest of the house. The first machine actually called an "air conditioner" was built in 1907 It's purpose was to add humidity to the air and not cool it.

+Randy Gaston Randy, thanks for the clarification! This is one great structure, definitely ahead of its time! Technology at its finest! Dave.

Brittannia, a forced air heater in the basement and a series of ducts throughout the home provided heating and it also circulated cool basement air throughout the house in the summer giving the feel of conditioned air. Thanks for asking! Dave.

+Nathan Davis - HATE white paint... it seems to be EVERYWHERE these days!

Dead Celebrities & The Illuminati OH my god yes! when I have my own house, i do not plan on having a single white wall OR ceiling.

You are ABSOLUTELY correct! Thanks! Dave.

You are right on ALL accounts! A 1997 analog tape camcorder did not do justice to this mansion when captured in 2000. I wish I could go back and re-shoot with my 4k and 5.7k cameras! Someday! Thanks for watching and commenting. Dave.
