In the 1950's they tore down the big homes along the main street in Danville, IL. for urban renewal. I vaguely remember it.

Open the Stein Hart! Yes from MA

I would have loved to have visited the breakers but without a Vanderbilt decendant living init loses its appeal.

THANK YOU for highlighting my home, Massachusetts! My heart! 😊

my inlaws were headed to the coconut grove, the night of the fire, but the car would not start.....sadly, many of their friends perished that night...

I haven't been in over 30 years, I guess it's time to go back. I'm eagerly awaiting the re-opening of Scotty's castle in Death Valley.

Bramble has been demolished

Is is not 'Steinway Hall' rather than 'Steinert Hall'?

The entire Castle region should be Greenbelted for posterity it is the Heart of Americas Holy Land and saw it all through the ryes and the membrance of the inhabitants that inspired us to this day! Needs to be captured on film and all recorded remembrance. A True Historic Masterpiece! Even used in Hollywood movies ! 😊

Yes attic treasures great new uses!😊

THE PINK HOUSE IS MY FAVORITE, BUT IT IS SO CLOSE TO POPULATION, IT SEEMS LIKE.

Interesting, but your clickbait of JFK Jr is misleading! He never lived in a mega mansion like these. He had a loft apartment in NYC, lived at Red Gate Farm, his late mother's home on Martha's Vineyard which is modest compared to these abandoned homes and he inherited initially, the president's home at the Kennedy Compound near where I've lived on the Cape!

Bramble hill was destined to be destroyed once a LLC took it. So sad.

Didn't know they had graffiti back then.

I am a native of Massachusetts, and I'm really surprised that Elm Bank in Dover is not on this list. The grounds are run by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, but the mansion is derelict. It was built for Alice Cheney (her father was a founder of American Express) and her husband, and it was designed by Carrere and Hastings with the Olmstead Brothers doing the gardens. Several years ago the first floor was cosmetically touched up for the interior filming of the movie "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past."

COMMENT: Are you a native of Massachusetts, or New England - and which of these abandoned buildings do you believe is the most impressive?

I grew up in Western North Carolina in Asheville and my family knew the family that owns it now I have been in places on the inside most of the public never sees. It is unbelievable with the downstairs bowling alley dungeon and Miles of tunnels running underground.

Fascinating video, Thanks. I visited San Simeon twice in the late 1990's - did two different tours. I was attracted mostly because of Citizen Kane. The TV series Deadwood included among its main characters the gold-greedy psychotic supervillain Hearst, who was as were some other characters, based on real people. This guy was William Randolf Hearst's grandfather apparently. I found the place to be fascinating and, knowing a bit about the history of the place, kind of tragic and creepy. Hearst was after all that era's Rupert Murdoch. He built the place as an attempt to create a kind of pre-packaged aristocracy for himself. His many wealthy celebrity guests, shuttled up from Hollywood, considered him a desperate fool. Welles got too close to the bone - Hearst Castle was still infamous in 1941 when Kane was made. Ridiculed yet again and furious at Welles, Hearst tried to buy the negatives of Kane in order to destroy them, but he obviously failed. IMHO, San Simeon/Hearst Castle was and is a vast fascinating folly, a kitsch monument to delusional plutocratic hubris.

Loved this castle

If the entail on property ended in 1925 how do a few great families manage to keep the title and the estate together?

Marrying wisely has been a good strategy for acquiring assets, holding on to them for this long is the challenge.

Amazing Estates and Mansions, it's a wonder how the family retained the wealth and are able to maintain the Mansions, Gardens and Estates 👌

very nice chunk of information

Most rich family's fail to raise the kids to make even more money. The Rothchild's pulled it off and now have so much money .

I am a decedent of some of the Dukes or Norfolk so it is on the gemological tour should I ever go to England again.

Thank you for a very informative video.

How about a video on Alnwick Castle?

I truly enjoyed this episode. As an American, episodes such as this, are my way of visiting places I might not ever get to visit.

COMMENT: Which iconic British castle would you like us to feature next on this channel?

I did visited the Hearst Castle in 1975, It looked great back then.

Augustus ''Pew gin'' not Poogen Love the video with so much detail from all your research

Can you imagine the capers watching this and reminiscing the good ol days of respectable crime. Antique restoration here, just north of Boston.

The Kennedy's aren't considered old money in Massachusetts.

Many years ago I read a romance book based on the life of Bess of Hardwick. Even if only a part of it is true she still was an inspiring woman. A determined woman.

We visited the castle on our honeymoon in 1978. The parking was $5, and the ticket for the ground level tour was $10 per person. We thought that was high, but worth the experience.

No one cares about others' history. They've cared about themselves.

World over best buildings are destroyed for roads and other reason that make way for modern ideas of design etc.

Such a shame that they didn’t keep the old Gothic structure, which is one of a kind and history passed down through the ages. Instead, they made a box shaped concrete, stamped pad mansion that everybody else has.

We had a repair shop in Aptos California, where we had contact with many state park employees, they would tell stories of the closed years, while they were posted at Herst Castle they would have swim party BBQs, swimming in the Gretchen pool and jumping off the lions head into the pool, boys will be boys

I'm a proud member of the Hearst Castle Foundation. It's really one of the biggest world wide art collections in one place. All open to the public for their enjoyment and education.

I have visited Hearst Castle 6 times. I loved it every time. I was just there in 2023. I could go there every year, it's lots of fun, I would recommend to go and see it if you've never been.
