Before the buzz of a circular saw ever echoed, America’s greatest homes rose from pure muscle, steam, and ingenuity. Join Ken on This House as we trace every marble block, timber beam, and hand-carved flourish that shaped the Gilded Age’s most jaw-dropping mansions, long before power tools hit the jobsite. From horse-drawn derricks to steam-powered hoists, you’ll see how Victorian craftsmanship achieved feats modern crews still admire.
