Houses with History

Not only education, but entertaining! This crew is fun and joy to watch also. Antique home restorations, history and the designs all in one show is my favorite! My wife and I love watching this show together too. I wish HGTV had more shows like this one. Also it is nice to see them using local artisans, showing how items are made and also recylcing items. The designs are right on point for the period of each house like window restorations, period wainscotting and showing where items came from. There should be more shows like this and less wayfair type shows. The custom antique to period lighting, furniture, accent pieces and more fits right into each design.

Highly enjoyable cast, great locations, entertaining & educational.

I watched all 5 so far. Unlike other reno shows, these folks live and love their area. East coast historical is so much more interesting than other programs about flippers.

Thanks for this series, I love it.

I'm obsessed with this show. Quirky characters but doing amazing work restoring and saving our early American history. I only wish they could save all of them!

Love this show - I greatly admire their efforts to preserve/restore homes and save them from the wrecking ball. I love the quirkiness of the team members, and I love how they are all so enthusiastic and dedicated to each project. The history tidbits are always fascinating, and I'm always impressed how they manage to modernize the homes while honoring the unique past of each. My heart-felt wish is that this show (and 'Restored' / 'Farmhouse Fixer' / 'Stone House Revival' etc.) also inspires others to preserve our nation's heritage. You just don't see the craftsmanship and quality of these historic homes in modern construction. First rate!

The presenters are a little quirky and a lot of fun making this show very enjoyable to watch. All three have a lot of restoration/renovation and historical knowledge, and a love for what they're doing. That, combined with top-notch craftsmanship and little history lessons along the way make this a very unique show and it has become my favorite in the genre. Highly recommended and I'm looking forward to season 2.
