The ONLY two search criteria will be homes built before 1920, and 3,000 square feet minimum … nothing else. As in the previous Homes Pictorial, the link to the house (on Zillow) will be given. The link name will be the city. The other data on that line will be; the price, square footage, and year built. My hilarious commentary will be kept to a minimum … I don’t want Admin to lose any more donations.
If you comment, please consider telling us your favorite home, or Top3. (It won’t be easy … pretty much all of these are spectacular in one way or another.)
=============================== =
Alabama
Montgomery / $625,000 / 5,428 sq ft / 1914
Alaska
Only 3 homes for sale built before 1920.
Ketchikan / $499,000 / 3,364 sq ft / 1920
Arizona
Arizona Ghost Town Museum. Includes all the artifacts.
Pearce / $1,100,000 / 3,882 sq ft / 1895
Arkansas
YIKES!! Might as well include a fugly one. Doesn’t look like an 1800 building. On the plus side it has a theater room with leveled seating and a 7 person hot tub.
Bono / $598,000 / 8,538 sq ft / 1800
California
181 properties! Prices range from $135,000,000 to $310,000. I love Queen Anne Victorians, so I went with this one … even though there are far grander homes, like this 1914 Grand French Style Estate Most oddly, out of 40 pictures there was only ONE interior picture!
Coronado / $24,000,000 / 7,446 sq ft / 1887
Colorado
“Redstone Castle”, built for $2m back in 1902 … when that was a significant sum. Current owners spent a small fortune restoring it to as close as original as possible, even down to the furnishings. More HERE.
Carbondale / $16,900,000 / 25,127 sq ft / 1902
Connecticut
243 listings! From $40,000,000 to $215,000 Chose this one because it is really old (1740). George Washington slept here. Really, it was the first time he had sex with Betsy.
Ashford / $349,900 / 3,158 sq ft / 1740
In this bedroom. On that bed. While the British kept a comin’
Delaware
George Washington also slept here. Not with Martha. Someone named Josephine Biden.
Bridgeville / $600,000 / 3,566 sq ft / 1750
In the bathroom.
Florida
Click on this one if nothing else. Someone did a helluva job converting this into a home … and a very modern one at that. Very thick walls and a heavy sturdy roof …. you might become a big SPLAT! in the event of the Rapture.
Key West / $3,999,999 / 4,849 sq ft / 1900
Georgia
If I could afford it, I would move to Savannah in a heartbeat. A quintessential charming Southern town if there ever was one. Love at first sight, for me. But, it’s been over 20 years since I’ve been there … maybe it’s changed.
Savannah / $3,500,000 / 8,000 sq ft / 1911
Hawaii
The only 100 year old property for sale in all of Hawaii. Built by Alfred Hockings, founder of the Honolulu Brewing Company.
Honolulu / $7,300,000 / 5,715 sq ft / 1903
Idaho
We already saw a converted church. How about a converted school!! Great for home-schooling. Lots of bedrooms. Not one picture of the kitchen. ….. “Danger, Will Robinson!”
Alene / $3,000,000 / 8,412 sq ft / 1905
Nice knobs ya got there, Ma’am!!
Illinois
I would sell my first-born son into slavery for a kitchen like this. Gold and bronze leaf ceilings, Venetian plaster, custom painted walls, full slabs of imported natural stone in each bath, and so on. This is the bargain priced home featured. Really.
Hinsdale / $3,499,000 / 12,560 sq ft / 1917
Indiana
Let’s go right to the worst deal. Having lived in IN for 10 years it’s hard for me to believe there’s a $16m dollar house. OK, so you get 22 acres, an island, 1 cottage, 4 cabins, and a partridge in a pear tree. But … $16.5 million? PUH-LEASE!! Not even one interior picture.
Culver / $16,500,000 / 5,734 sq ft / 1880
Iowa
95 listings and hardly a one of them was interesting. This one’s OK. I would rat out Admin to the Covid Injection Squad for a den/study like this.
Cedar Rapids / $579,900 / 6,281 sq ft / 1907
Kansas
Very slim pickings in Kansas also. The owners of this house obviously only bought discontinued paint, or paint that was 90% off. Or, they’re blind.
Waterville / $229,000 / 3,125 sq ft / 1880
Kentucky
Looks like a horse farm. Gorgeous. Mile long driveway. 10 acres. Lovely landscaping. I just might have to consider Kentucky as my next destination. (If BL doesn’t post for the next coupe of days … just assume he dropped dead at hearing this news.) Helluva good price, all things considered.
Prospect / $2,950,000 / 10,050 sq ft / 1905
Louisiana
Three things come to mind when I think of a Southern Mansion; portico, large porch, long wide steps leading to the front entrance. Add Louisiana to the mix .. then include a swamp … which this property has … as well as the required lush foliage and trees with hangy down thingees.
Houma / $3,100,100 / 8,516 sq ft / 1849
Maine
Question; if you live in Maine, and you’re not on shoreline (or on an island), why even live there? Cuz ya like moose shit? To take a crap, and to be able to look out the window and see the ocean … man, oh man, that’s heaven on earth.
Portland / $6,500,000 / 8,066 sq ft / 1907
Maryland
Hard to believe this is LESS than an hour drive from Filthydelphia!
Elk Mills / $1,650,000 / 17,710 sq ft / 1760
Massachusetts
Cape Cod, naturally. “I live on the water, Jim.” “You mean, near the water, num-nuts“. “I know what I mean douchebag, I live ON the water!” If you’re a guy, please vote thumbs up if you’d consider jacking off a mountain lion with barbed wire in a phone booth just to live here. (The inside is nothing special at all.)
Orleans / $5,999,999 / 3,267 sq ft / 1920
Michigan
Thank you Jeeeesus! I was soooo hoping there would be a property on Mackinaw Island … one of the most gorgeous spots in America. If you ever have the chance to go …. GO!!
Mackinac Island / $5,850,000 / 8,000 sq ft / 1888
Minnesota
“Lake of the Isles” is also known as “Cream Of Wheat Row” … because the founder of that cereal company, and many of his executives built their mansions there.
Prince name-checked Lake of the Isles in one of his songs … “Rock and Roll is Alive (and it Lives in Minneapolis)” … and you’ll hear the line “Sure as the drive around Lake of the Isles is cool I know.”
There was also a very famous line in the movie “The Graduate”
Mr. McGuire: Are you listening?
Benjamin: Yes, I am.
Mr. McGuire: Cream of Wheat.
Benjamin: Exactly how do you mean?
Mr. McGuire: There’s a great future in Cream Of Wheat. Think about it. Will you think about it?
Minneapolis / $3,995,000 / 8,814 sq ft / 1931
Mississippi
“Ormond Plantation” I picked this one because Mississippi and “plantation” go together. And because of all that natural light. (These mansions are often too dark.) Aaaaand, because …. somebody likes beer mugs!! Too funny seeing something so schmaltzy in a joint like that.
Natchez / $2,150,000 / 8,000 sq ft / 1920
Missouri
Might as well pick one shit hole city. Only one picture available.
Saint Louis / $8,765,000 / 13,804 sq ft / 1915
Montana
Only 3 of the 44 listings were true mansions … over 6,ooo sqft. The rest were 100 year old homes on a lot of land. If you like a fucken cow head hanging on your wall, then this house is for you. Me? I can’t stand most of humanity. So, this is my ideal location.
Gallatin Gateway / $899,000 / 5,215 sq ft / 1885
Nebraska
Featuring this as a possible business opportunity for an enterprising and ambitious reader. Really! 83 pictures. From the listing —> “Historic Argo Bed & Breakfast. Placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior. The zoning has been recently changed to residential and is currently a residence and being run as an Air B&B, zoning can be changed back to commercial to run the bars and/or restaurant.” Crofton is a BOOMING town.
Crofton / $750,000 / 10,048 sq ft / 1915
BOOMING, I tell ya!! And only 158 miles to Omaha.
Nevada
Only three for sale. Sure, the one for $15,900,000 in Reno is real real nice. But, I decided to feature at least one home that I could afford. A little paint … a couple trips to Home Depot … and this thing will be a real looker. (No other pics available.)
Pioche / $95,000 / 4,800 sq ft / 1872
New Hampshire
This has got to be the longest damned house I have ever seen. Only five miles from Hardscrabble Farmer’s farm.
Francestown / $1,250,000 / 7,609 sq ft / 1822
New Jersey
It’s getting late, and I’ve been at this for hours. And I don’t feel like looking thorough 139 listings for something interesting … cuz I hate NJ. I love the dining room. Next!
Madison / $3,895,000 / 7,409 sq ft / 1890
New Mexico
Such a big house …. such a small kitchen. Weird.
Cimarron / $3,400,000 / 9,000 sq ft / 1910
New York
923 listings!! Jeebus, I’ll be here till Christmas. Gotta narrow it down. Decided to go with NYC … the greatest city in the world!! Specifically, Manhattan. I’m gonna pick the most expensive listing. Hey, this is easy!! From the listing —-> “… stunning interior design by Thierry W Despont LLD while making a statement in architectural mastery by Pierre Yves Rochon.” Thierry? And Pierre Yves too??! Well, suck my balls, Cartman, I’m impressed as hell!!! (Noo Yawkers …. pretentious f’en assholes!!!)
Manhattan / $63,000,000 / 13,000 sq ft / 1910
North Carolina
Living on top of a mountain seems like a lovely option.
Blowing Rock / $2,399,000 / 5,111 sq ft / 1919
North Dakota
This picture was taken just moments after several nearby grain elevators exploded.
Devils Lake / $154,900 / 4,086 sq ft / 1909
Ohio
Austrian Peters’ home in England. Please send him some money for furniture.
Marietta / $950,000 / 6,080 sq ft / 1915
Oklahoma
Helluva bargain.
Shawnee / $324,000 / 6,347 sq ft / 1906
Oregon
OK … being poor is really starting to piss me off! lol
Lake Oswego / $5,600,000 / 9,124 sq ft / 1913
Pennsylvania
Jeebus …not again! 447 listings. Hmmm … gonna try to find something near Philly from the 1800s.
Villanova / $2,795,000 / 7,353 sq ft / 1880
Rhode Island
Newport / $6,900,000 / 7,644 sq ft / 1870
South Carolina
Antebellum living at is finest. Been on the market for 274 days. Betting you can joo them down to under a million.
Camden / $1,200,000 / 5,000 sq ft / 1854
South Dakota
Sturgis / $549,000 / 3,476 sq ft / 1892
Tennessee
Gorgeous Italian style with amazing botanical-gardens-like landscaping. And to think this was built just two years after the end of the Civil War …. war of Northern Aggression, whatever. War was good business for somebody!
Nashville / $5,999,999 / 9,664 sq ft / 1867
Texas
“Dubya, if ya can’t getchyer dumbass elected to the White House … build one! We’re Texans, after all.”
Kerrville / $3,800,000 / 13,901 sq ft / 1920
Utah
Tell you what ….. house prices in UT are FREAKING RETARDED. Holy Saint Moroni Macaroni! I’ve seen bigger kitchens in RV’s!! Damned Morons, errrr … Mormons.
Park City / $4,100,000 / 3,009 sq ft / 1888
Vermont
Alrighty, then! Look at the above house … compare it to this one …. and then I dare you to tell me the whole sate of Utah isn’t an overpriced piece of crapola junk. I double-dare ya!!
Swanton / $1,150,000 / 5,947 sq ft / 1880
Virginia
The listing states —-> “After trips to Scotland, the owners fell in love with the game of golf and chose to have their own Private 18 Hole Golf Course built to USGA Standards.” Awww, isn’t that special!
Upperville / $19,500,000 / 6,500 sq ft / 1903
Then they saw the move “My friend Flicka” and got themselves a horse farm.
This is the owner, his wife (mixed marriage), and their four children.
Washington
One thing I’ve always wanted ….. a multi-million dollar house that sits on top of asphalt! “They paved Paradise and put up a parking lot, yeah“. Only in Libtardville, folks!
Seattle / $8,250,000 / 9,970 sq ft / 1902
West Virginia
If you don’t want any of your fatfuk relatives coming over and eating all your food … then this is the house you want.
Wheeling / $249,000 / 4,000 sq ft / 1889
Wisconsin
I’m just not a fan of Wisconsin. At all. So, I’m not going to go with a nice property. I’m going with a very sad one … I’d rather live out of a van. I know why I don’t like Cheeseheads. It’s a petty reason so, I won’t reveal it. I don’t want ya’ll to think less of me than you already do.
Ettrick / $89,900 / 3,736 sq ft / 1920
Wyoming
As I said in my other homes article … Wyoming really IS God’s Country. 20 acres of heaven facing the Big Horn Mountains and a creek running through the property.
Sheridan / $1,375,000 / 4,074 sq ft / 1920
CLOSING BONUS PICTURE
Many believe this is the most talked about and photographed Victorian house in the United States. It’s located in Eureka, California, and was built in 1884 by William Carson, a lumber baron.
THE END
You’re obsessed, Stucky! (so am I.)
Keep Looking until you find it…..but
You say “obsessed”.
I say …. DEDICATED!
Thank yeeew.
I grew up playing on House Island (the Maine mansion). One side of the island is the private estate, the other if Fort Scammel (active 1808-1898). It’s mostly granite bunkers, but as kids, we loved it.
Your missing out not including houses built in the 20’s. I have a pantry with a hidden release that will swing out the shelving that exposes another set of shelves that are 8″ deep. There is a hidden release on the fireplace that opens the end of the ornate carved fireplace mantle. It came complete with a draw rod to pull items from the back so they could be retrieved. I have a Prohibition house that had numerous secret compartments and hideaways.
I’ll have it done by tomorrow.
Lived in Blowing Rock, NC for 32 years…got tired of the snow several years ago. The house shown is way out of town and not accessible year round. Unless you have a D6 to plow the road.
If the Camden SC house were in South Of Broad Charleston, it’d sell in a week for $3MM+. Average price there is $600-700/sq ft. Ouch
Thanks for a welcome break from the bullshit. Someday may we coax out why you don’t like Wisconsin?
Sure. Today is a good day.
The Wisconsin men’s basketball team have beaten my IU Hoosiers something like 18 out of the last 20 games.
But, IU has a new sheriff in town, the great coach Mike Woodson …. and we’re gonna start shredding those damned Cheeseheads!!
I get it. Looking forward to the Big 10 basketball season.
With regards to football, I have the same disdain for Ohio State.
Stuck, way back in 2007 I sold a house in Petersham MA, which is basically 5 minutes from nowhere.
This was a super cool house, built in 1760 it was the home of Shay’s Rebellion. The barn was built from hemlock, and pre-dated the house.
The house was named The Deer Farm and has a beautiful bronze deer statue in the front.
6213 square feet, it had 11 working fireplaces. Servants quarters still fairly intact on the attic level.
Sadly it’s been “remodeled” over the years and is now for sale again for $870,000 (It sold in 2007 for $500,000 when I had it listed) and has been on the market for almost a year.
At one time this house was on probably over a hundred acres, then whittled down to 15, then 5.66, and now it’s on a paltry 2.95.
The current owners put in a fairly nice in-ground pool and pool house with kitchen, which seems a waste of space to me when you can only use a pool in MA for about 40 seconds the entire year.
This part of the world we have a LOT of houses built before 1900, and many of them are toilet “triple decker” fire traps with balloon framing which is another way of saying “no one gets out alive in the event of a fire”.
The rest are small capes or Colonials, generally 3000 square feet and under. Many of them have been maintained with original features but updated things like electrical and plumbing. The worst ones were gutted and renovated in the 80’s, a wasteland of pink rugs and ugly wall paper.
Anyone moving to New England from pretty much any other part of the country is baffled by so many things when buying a house. I’ll never forget my ex husband being completely stumped when seeing a steam radiator for the first time (He was from Georgia, heat comes from a vent in the wall, and the thought of having a giant tank of oil in the basement seemed downright crazy to him).
I’m from Georgia and have seen plenty of steam radiators . All old schools had them. And oil furnaces were right common, up until a few years ago , when most those that died off weren’t replaced.
Sounds nice. Looks nice too.

WTF,you getting ready to be a realtor?!
You in last listings did not include a Mass. home but you did a N.J. home,jersey is definitely the bigger shit hole of the two!
Nice work Stuckey, it looks like the country is full of overpriced shit right now. And when the boomer variant finally flatness the curve then look out below. The demographics required to sustain such over inflated houses looks to be unsustainable. Unless Uncle Jo decides to just give a house to every “Newcomer” free of charge. Right after they slap a national property tax on everyone to pay for all these flu shots.
I had only a vague idea where Pearce AZ was even having driven through there a time or two. If I liked punishing myself living that close to the border I would pick Bisbee. Now that is a helluva town.
Not another hooman dwelling in sight. I like it!!
Bisbee / $275,000 / 2080 sqft / 2004

Really … it’s a lovely looking town.
Thats a nice SW style. It looks a ways away from the action of downtown. As nice as that style house is I can say for certain I will never have a flat roof again, hated the maintenance and they always eventually leak. They are usually brick or adobe which makes for a cool bullet-proof doom-stead.
Having now lived in a small town > 5k for going on ten years I probably won’t ever go back to big city liven. Always wanted to live in Bisbee since I was a kid. Not many places in Az have basements but a lot of those buildings on Main Street do. Unbelievable amount of history there. You’re only about half hour from Tombstone. If you ever get out this way I will show you some cool shit amigo.
If you don’t mind being murdered by diversity, Savannah is a great place to live.
The 20 something son of a friend of my wife’s was just found robbed and murdered there. River street is a dangerous place. The local news is full of vibrant attack stories. I know of one personally.
https://www.areavibes.com/savannah-ga/crime/
Savannah crime rates are 41% higher than the national average Violent crimes in Savannah are 16% higher than the national average In Savannah you have a 1 in 29 chance of becoming a victim of crime Savannah is safer than 19% of the cities in the United States
You fucken wet rag!!!
🙂
Savannah is too expensive Stucky, unless you just won the lottery. It’s hot as hell there and sticky, beautiful but sticky.
The beaches suck.
Lived in metro Savannah from 89′ to 2000. Way too ‘vibrant.’ And you can’t really call it a Southern town anymore than Charleston. Filled with affluent Yankees (Urbanites).
Not much diversity here. You’re welcome.

Asking for a friend.
Check out Ante-Bellum Vicksburg for Mansions. I have an entire book on this subject. Some are still unfinished because the carpenters went North in search of work after and during the War of Northern Aggression.

I have to comment that this has to be the most unscientific of sampling methodology I’ve ever seen, but it kind of interesting to scroll through.
St. Louis is a shithole getting shitholier.
Mags- I can’t imagine anyone moving to St. Louis, they may have to start paying people to move there. 🙂
Uhhh …. what the HELL are you talking about??
Did I mention The Science anywhere? Did I make any claims about this being a serious study of real estate? Or, is it just a fun look at various hundred year old homes throughout the USA?
You want science? Go send Fauchi an email.
Most of those places are museums. Imagine the staff required
Stucky- I hope you do move to KY, I asked you to come visit a while back. You would LOVE it here, all my NY and NJ clients love this place. They would not consider going back to Yankeeland…….no way.
There are so many fine 100 y/o mansions here and you picked that green ugly thing, yuk. Why not use the Harrodsburg home with the big columns again, I actually know that house well even before your last pictorial.
Come on down Stuck, we will welcome you with open arms my friend. We may have battled for years but in real life we could be great pals.
PS- Prospect is very near my burb home and I have many clients in that area, now that is a place for you to consider, lots of transplanted Yankees with money.
Umm, you’re looking at the wrong picture. You’re looking at Kansas. The KY pic is the next one …. a gorgeous white structure with 3 chimneys and beautiful landscaping.
I will absolutely keep you in mind for assistance re KY when the search to leave this shithole gets serious.
We have battled?? Not how I see it. We’ve had a few spirited conversations, that’s all, buddy … we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
If Stuck has threatened to kick your ass or show up at your house with a shotgun, you haven’t battled. …skirmished maybe..
HaHA Flash….. You are correct. Come to KY Flash and the three of us can rule the world (from the front porch, cough).
Shit Stucky, you know I am blind. I saw the white house built 1905, somehow got sidetracked that the green house was in the KY offerings.
Will there be corn squeezins involved ?
Absolutely Flash, the best in the world.
1. Arizona house/museum
2. Portland
3. Michigan Mackinac Island looks like a dream
Hey! At least one person gave us their favorites!!
1. Mass. —- half the house ON the the water!
2. California Queen Ann
3. Montana —- far, far, far away from other hoomans
No cats though.

I love these posts, real eye candy. Spectacular photos of some of them, others, meh, but a really interesting view of styles and regional differences.
Nice.
Thank you for all your work, but it just confirms that it’s time to “eat the rich.” ;0
Another engaging post. I was surprised by how few of them I actually liked. If I had to pick one, I’d go with the Lake Oswego (Oregon) house. But on a different lake. And in another state. And for a lot less $$$.
Bucket of cold water time.
Matthew 19:24
And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
Jeebus Aitch!! You just can’t help yourself, really. A Bible verse for EVERYTHING. When you watched “Debbie Does Dallas” what popped up? Bible verse, I mean.
Naturally, you couldn’t pick a positive uplifting verse. You had to go for a downer.
Jesus talked about MANSIONS in heaven. You could have mentioned that instead. Here’s mine ….
Then again …..
Not money or stuff but the love of money/stuff is the root of all evil.
Where your treasure is your heart is also.
How does one have 9,000 sq ft. and a nook for a kitchen. Some people are insane.
SS- The entire TBP community should pool their money and buy a YUUUUGE mansion on a private island. We could all live there in harmony as long as we are in separate wings. 🙂
We’d meet in the courtyard every morning and do battle all day.
All being hungry and drunk before bed.
Except for maybe HSF.
Somebody would bring in a cat and AxerageJoe would kill him upon arrival.
Stucky would sleep with a knight’s sword and GNL with his glock.
I’d be stuck in the basement cranking out matériel de guerre for like, ever.
Sounds about right Machinist….. 🙂
Maine, Wyoming, Kansas… to many really…
The important things, to me, would be the space to grow… and the ease of posting signs warning that trespassers are now in range, about a 1/2 mile out.
As of this moment, there are 10 homes For Sale at $100,000,000 or more in the USA!USA!USA!. I don’t want to make a separate thread. Plus, this will help get this article to 57.
Going from least to most ….
$100,000,000 / Belair, CA / 41,000 sqft
Full-size basketball court … 75-foot indoor lap pool, a sauna, steam room, and gym … 36-seat home theater, wine cellars, and a recording studio …..
multilevel patios, infinity pool and spa, …. eight bedrooms, 21 bathrooms, and a 20-car garage.
Wondering WHY there are nearly three times the number of bathrooms than bedrooms. Do uber wealthy people not have the ability to retain themselves or are they like a typical 4 yr old who waits until the very last minute and needs a bathroom like NOW… Do shrubbery count as bathrooms??
Gonna stop at posting just one hundred million dollar home.
Completing my Homes Trilogy … next one —> most expensive homes for sale per state. Should be ready for tomorrow. I’m already on the “M”s.
Kitchens were not part of an abode.
The bonus picture is stupid, ridiculous and this is a seriously funny article. Thanks, Stucky.
Been there, that was their summer house. After everybody drops dead from the vax, all of us holdouts could move in the Biltmore Estate. There is a winery on the property. “Winning”
Yes, there are lots of whiners there.
That’s twice now that you did the shithole St Louis. KC is also a shithole, just a bit less of a shithole, minutely. Like milligrams. However lookee here in Liberty Mo (not terrible), under a million.

This Classic Greek Revival, 26 room, 8 bedroom mansion, built by Mayor Alvan Lightburne in 1848, is a 3-story home with walkout basement. The 2-story portico with lower veranda overlooks the side yard and in-ground pool. With approximately 8000 square feet of living space, it’s one of the largest and oldest restored Antebellum mansions in the Kansas City area. Oak flooring overlays original pine wood. 24 exterior walls and 18 interior walls of handmade brick, 12′ ceilings, wide doorways & tall windows give testament to quality workmanship.

IIRC, Liberty is home to William Jewell College, which used to be a good place to get a liberal arts education if one were so inclined. Not too far away is a quaint town on the Missouri River-Platte City. Still a slice of what Americana used to be. Probably has a couple of nice old houses without huge asking prices. Jesse James and his gang used to roam the area.
Indiana: you obviously missed the metal storage shed, size 8′ x’10’, Monkey Ward, circa 1972. Adds untold amounts of value to the property.
