Visit the Home of Molly Brown - Survivor Of The Titanic 

+Michelle B these--and other committed citizens--all deserve a medal! thanks for pointing it out!!

The same fate was about to happen to Madame C. J. Walker's home, until IT was saved in 1976. I'll assume by this same organization.

Michelle B, amen!

william alderman, I didn't know that.

Amen. The U.S. is a young country compared to the rich history of Asia & Europe and I think we need to preserve all the history and our past as much as possible.

Sadly for money

I love that Annapolis and Chestertown MD have homes before the 1900s. They are beautiful even if some of the ones in Chestertown have been used as apartments, the exterior is still beautiful. My mom's a realtor I love going into the old homes. They make me so happy.

Because it can literally cost millions of dollars to restore, preserve, and revitalize old homes by removing mold, fixing wiring, etc. Do you want money taken out of your paycheck to fund every old home in the world? Donate your money to historic societies and you could help.

Everything goes in circles. I can see work of art homes coming back and especially simple automobiles that cost $6000 to make and $12,000 to buy.

The cars may be plastictoday, but today’s engines will last over 300 k mikes , unlike the old cars . The interior in the older cars was shot and after just a few years and falling down and the exterior paint on older cars faded in a few short years . Give me new any day for durability, but for looks I do like the older models . .

You are so right, Cliffedward. A friend just bought a beautiful 1920 house and it so spacious and civilized. So gracious and serene. I could feel that, even in its empty state. It permeated me. People seem to have had respect for themselves in those days. Talk about better times and better people. Contrast it with the tacky, jerry-built MacMansion a cousin lives in. Dear God. Like comparing The Ritz to a Holiday Inn.

cliffedward So true!

And today the architecture people rave over how fantastic these modern houses and Frank Lloyd Wright houses are and I'm looking at pictures of these things and they look like DENTAL OFFICES in a commercial business park or somehting, cold, sterile, nothing but flat ugly concrete and plain glass!

Such loving attention to the most minute detail. Magnificent.

Victorian Sculptures

Beautiful place to get married!

Cool

I never watched the second half of that movie till recently & now sorry I did. Wish I didn't know.

Another Survivor was Senior stewardess Violet Jessop. There is a book about her life called Titanic Survivor by John Maxtone Graham. She retired to Suffolk in UK where she lived out her days. My brother and sister in law bought her cottage in 2009 and absolutely loved it. Book is an interesting read

When I watched the titanic movie at first I LOVED it and I studied all about it and now I cant stop thinking about the people that died and how much people did die the amount of people that died compared to the amount of people is CRAZY mean it doesnt matter that the deck would look crowded I understand it's a huge boat that people paid SO much to get on but like it just doesnt matter

@@eileenbyrne1280 And theres a video about Eva Hart that was on the titanic but the video was about her talking about how it was on the titanic while it was sinking I wasnt really enjoying the video bc it was like a news report on TV and it was recorded and posted on youtube but yeah you should check it out

@@russbeverly7353 Yes I know about Eva Hart too as she was born in Ilford and so was I. Small world

***** No I am taking that from internet research. Just search for Unsinkable Molly Brown and it will be all over the internet of her stories.

***** Are you really saying that all the true stories about her told by survivors is wrong? She was a hero and she tried to save people. Do not dare to destroy her image when survivors have talked of her bravery and compassion. They say she did those things so then she did.

***** It was on every site I have checked dude, unless people messed with every single one then I doubt it, also there is a documentary about Molly Brown that I have watched that tell her story and how survivors had talked about what she did. Look it up, unsinkable Molly Brown documentary

+DJ. FOUR50 - I attended a private vocational school in Denver during the summer of 1994, and the school was virtually right across the street from the Brown Mansion. Some of us took the tour more than once during weekends and the information that King Wacky spoke of was provided on those tours, long before the movie came out. Maggie (as she was then known) wanted everything in her life well documented. She loved the attention. She was a bit of an eccentric, but her heart was in the right place and she appears to have done a LOT of good for not only Titanic survivors, but for the city of Denver as well.

Wait did she really get told to shut up and sit down? I thought that was just in the movie

Houses today are certainly NOT sturdier. For one, new homes build today use cheap plywood to start. There's not much to modern homes today that are built to last more than 50 years. I study architecture as a hobby and know a bit about building, coming from a family of builders. My grandfather build 4 homes for my family since the 40's. The last house we lived in build in 1959 was completely built out of cedar and thick beams that interlock. There is no cheap wood in the house or compressed wood board. The only downside to Victorians is plastered walls, but the framework is usually a lot more sturdy than standards today. Another good example is colonial period. Thicker beams with wooden peg (nails) that can pretty well withstand a small hurricane. I've seen a lot more of both types of houses with ample examples of sturdier than now architecture. Why do you think these homes are still standing after 130+ years? Because they were made to last, unlike cheap design today. Cookie cutter glorified cardboard boxes..

Scarlett's ASMR I was told the builders rush through it. My parents house was built in 60s or 70s and is good.

I agree.

I never saw that movie. I will look it up.

​@@susannaCdonovan23such a shame, Susanna. It's a must watch

Pave paradise and put up a parking lot -__-

Yeah, demolish it just for a parking lot :( Why?

Minds are on money honey!

Hailey Williams ikr? Who does that?

They are called progressive liberals Idiots is what they are

silver Sun ditto

silver Sun -I saw it as a child and I developed my first real crush on Harve Presnell! Omg! I must have been 9 or 10, but when I heard him sing “I’ll Never Say No” to Molly? I was in LOVE! 😍

Please! Can we stop associating Debbie Reynolds' role of Molly Brown with the Real life Maggie Brown?

Yup

@@oltedders no

Just a thought but do you have a Veterans Post close by ? Maybe they could help you. I'm a Vet & help out at my Salvation Army core. The DAV normally he's disabled Vets, but they or Vet biker group might help you out. I wish you lots of luck & many blessings. Say a prayer & then don't give up!

In PA, historical homes are not permitted to be torn down.

Your cat is beautiful, Karen!

Karen Wesley maybe one day

April T. Wouldn't that be amazing.

It is cosy. People often mistakenly call such houses "mansions" like the ones the Vanderbilts put up in Newport. But this house was just considered a large place built by and for wealthy people and families. You can see many like it all over Denver and especially in an area called "Five Points" where they were once very desirable for the bourgeoisie of that era. They have survived as that part of Denver declined and has not been considered a desirable place to live for 75 or more years. Hopefully gentrification will bring those houses and the neighborhood back.

You mean, cozy ?

Neat. Who was your grandmother?

+Missditabomb - Well assuming all Titanic stories are/were true, how many 12yr old females lived & went on to have children who had children so lacking in pride about their grandmother that they would write of her in such a way when they themselves would have to be close to being a 40yr-old woman (or man) themselves.

Joanne cott .....yes, well what was your grandmother's name sweetie? Please

her first name was Ella Rowe but the family says she was under another name due to father abuse. she was on her way to live with a family. she was around 12 I believe. she survived the Titanic but died at age 32 when she gave birth to my mom...

Joanne cott Interesting. I have a book with the names of all survivors and all casualties. There could not have been that many 12-year-old females aboard. This is worth investigating.

And she looked a lot like her too. Good casting.

And looked liked her too!

Yea

@@moldyapplesauce9328 I'll get you all the photos you want but for enjoyment not for proof what an insult

Your very lucky✋☺️

Lucky...please do some photo of hause if can and send me for email....shoubra34@azet.sk

I love seeing old homes like this in their original form.

She was a woman ahead of her time.

YOU THINK BECAUSE IT'S IN A MOVIE IT'S TRUE..YOU NUTS

Camille Coopersmith Its more people, not Moore!

@@Ken-ue9ny Read something about Titanic story and you will find that Molly Brown really existed.

Yes ...watching in uk ...xx

Yes, watching in Australia

Brooke Dayson yes watching in Nova Scotia !

Me too!

Yes in Canada loving it. Sad the ship sank off the Canadian coast

Absolutely

or Blessed Be even.

pheanix69 my name is Molly Brown

bless it be

pheanix69 Blessed be...

Randomly awesome 786. OMG that's creepy

Yup

Joshua Daniel Dichoso I love history. no matter how big or small being preserved..Take it Easy.

I'm shocked that a bunch of teenagers even care about historical houses

kennita whitehead ...I thought it was just me.😳But yes,she was so captivating to listen to.Go figure

They have fantastic tour guides at this place. All are Volunteers who have an intense love of Margret and her life.

Kennita Whitehead Me too!

I thought so too! I didn’t want her to stop & wished the video was longer. Very clear speaking voice.

How so ........

YOU’RE RELATED TO MOLLY? you are the luckiest person ever!

Yes how so?

I say,,,,GO FOR IT!!! Make your dresses & have fun ! Nothing wrong in being creative. I love to make doll houses & the little people for the houses. (With lighting ) I made a working 'movie theater' , of course the 'theater screen' was a DVD player. You make 'ground' & the little cars are on it, like the old drive in movies. There's a snack bar building. You have to slip out the DVD player & put the disk in, turn it on then slip it back under the ground & you just see the screen. I've made a pretty penny from selling them from time to time. Does that make me crazy? If so, it also makes me very happy.

FINALLY! lolol Someone mentions the whole reason I even came to watch this video! :-) JUST watched the movie last month, ONLY 50 years since the very first time! :-) Those dresses!!!! And, just Debbie Reynolds ... so perfect, such a voice, SUCH an entertainer!

I've never seen the old movie and your description makes me want to! ☺️

honey go for it! Our life is our imagination

@@christyg2977 you really should! It'll grab you at the very beginning and it won't let go until you're bawling at the end 😂❤️

HOW do you get to be a tour guide at a museum? do you have to to school for that?

Hailey Williams I think you can search it on the internet “how to become a tour guide”

Uvuvwevwevwe Onyetenyevwe Ugwemubwem Ossas oh my hun. Is that really your name. If so that's frkn awesome hun.

@@Khloe_dancer_model I became one after one semester in curatorship at a small museum in Alaska! My major was anthropology but I wanted to apply it, get paid for it! This was in the days long before there even WAS an "Applied Anthropology" degree available. :-)

I just wish they would talked about who's furniture is in the house if they sold it all once Molly died.

Karuminu2 I'm willing to bet Molly Brown was into the cougar thing.

Karuminu2 she was

Karumin

Forget that! Lusitania was a way more important ship than Titanic!

Karuminu2 meh she gave them money 💰 to let the titanic life boat 🚣 and left

Some ways, some how we are becoming history too.Some days close my friend

that was most likely edited out by the post. The information is included on the tour.

Translated? What other language did she speak?

I do recall the mention of women's rights...

not the only country. homes in japan typical lose all value by 20 years (or thereabouts) . they are then demolished and new ones built.

tigergreg8 .

Civilizations have been tearing down buildings that no longer seem useful for millenia. Just look at how many abandoned castles there are in Europe. And the UK has torn down hundreds of old manor houses in the last century or so, to make way for entire streets of more modest homes.

Nice homely house , would love to visit but a bit far away from Essex UK -- ( looks a bit like Norman Bates house ! 😨

Hippie Dachshunds Thank You!!! They didn't call her that until after she had died

True!!! Just nicknamed that for the musical.

all of that is addressed on the tour. They even have the Debbie Reynolds movie playing on a loop off the back porch with other memorabilia from the musical & movie.

+Scott Spiro I put that up in a bathroom I restored. It's a heavy pressed paper and rather easy to install. It just takes patience. Once you paint it, I guess it could be mistaken for leather. It was a bit pricey, but not much more than regular wallpaper.

It's pronounced as all one word not like the narrator pronounced it.

Gordon Hearn

It reminds me of the Lincrusta wallpaper used in the Winchester house in San Jose. Mrs. Winchester used only the best in her home, strange as it was. Tiffany glass, beautiful multi wood parquet floors, the tour is fascinating.

@@gordonhearn2193 Today it is more affordable. A century ago, just like newly introduced linoleum, it was quite costly and considered a luxury item. Many things we have so cheaply available today were long ago very expensive indulgences. It makes a person think of how far we have come over all the years. I do wish tour guides would elaborate just a little more on such things as so many of today's generation have no concept of such things.

I truly don’t understand why people find having two separate bedrooms so unusual!

If you want to be together, just pick a room! But no two people sleep alike. Room temperature etc. etc. Therefore I think we should all be able to rest, in what is comfortable for us!

+Petronius Arbiter II -- On second viewing, it looks like at least one of the sphinxes is still there, clearly visible at 5:28 but better viewing angle would let you see the wings?

william alderman so glad they saved her home. she was a icon of this nation.

Never heard of her

@@skyelark155 Watch "Self Made" on Netflix. It's about her life. She was an amazing lady!!!
