Enjoyable tours of turn of the 20th century homes of the rich

I fondly reflect back on this series which ran from 1994-1998 or 1999. It included tours of homes of the rich in the early 1900's during the so-called "gilded age". Includes stories of the builders / owners and photos of some of those involved in their construction. It also provides input on the subsequent and current uses of the homes. Also included is commentary from well-known architects and home designers on the home designs to aid in understanding how they were built, etc. This series also serves as an invitation to visit some of the homes which are currently still existing.

Plan to purchase the video set to keep.

Please bring America's Castles back

A&E pulled America's Castles from its programming schedule effective April 2007. Although the series stopped production in 1999, the episodes are still timely and interesting. The photography is beautiful and the content interesting and informative. The series also focused some episodes on Castles outside the United States. Entire episodes were devoted to Scottish and English castles. The programs were a travelogue cum architectural refresher course. I believe the content was so compelling that it convinced vacationers and day-trippers to take the road less traveled and visit these beautiful vestiges of days gone by. The series also featured America's Christmas Castles, a superbly produced pageant of castles decorated for the holiday season. I really miss this show. Anyone else feel the same way? Mel Starr
