Maybe you have heard some of these comments about houses built in the 1800s and early 1900s: "They never had closets." "Anything that sticks out of the house – like a wing -- was a subsequent addition." "Their only light was from candles or kerosene lamps." These are widespread misconceptions that our distinguished guest, Indianapolis-based architectural historian Benjamin L. Ross of RATIO Architects, plans to dispel when he joins Nelson in-studio. For more than 15 years, Ben Ross has been involved in analyzing, interpreting and planning for the future of historic sites in Indiana and across the country, including well-known historic houses. Some myths about historic houses are so pervasive that they even are repeated to visitors by well-intentioned docents at the sites, Ben says. They include: "The back part of the house is shorter and simpler, so it must be older." "Almost everyone was a homeowner." "Many people lived in one place their entire lives." In some cases, Ben says, the myths distort social history and the way people lived in the 1800s and early 1900s.

In a narrow 3-2 vote, the Sarasota City Commission passed a change to its comprehensive plan that incentivizes construction of workforce apartments along major thoroughfares. The dissenters argue we're giving too much to commercial developers, for too little affordable housing. Ramon Lopez reports. Then: The Florida Supreme Court issued not one, but two rulings about abortion on Monday. We interviewed the CEO of Planned Parenthood Southwest Florida.  Next: Sarasota city commissioners discussed - again - a developer's request to tear down a historical building in downtown, as Ramon Lopez reports. Finally: The Sarasota School Board had a 20-minute session yesterday. But that was preceded by three hours of public comment, plus a protest beforehand. This time, this was in part a response to Bridget Ziegler's suggestion to check the immigration status of students and their families.

Garden designer and professional gardener Alan Mason was a founder member of the Professional Gardeners' Guild. He became chairman 45 years later, taking over from Tony Arnold in September 2022."I avoided being chairman for as long as possible", he says. " I was vice chairman. I had been treasurer. I had been secretary, but it was never my desire to become chairman. It just happened."He has enjoyed the support of the "fabulous team" on the committee around him and says "in the last 12 months particularly there have been some very exciting developments. It's a great place to be at the moment."He talks about the focus for the Guild, which, as with all trade associations, is how to drive up the membership and also how best to serve it. The importance of visiting each others gardens and learning ways to cope with pest and diseases, planting tips and the like from other head gardeners is still key: "There's more information to be gleaned from other head gardeners than there is from Google."He wanted to be a footballer, but while waiting for his break, began a four-year horticultural apprenticeship and studied with the Institute of Groundsmanship and later Askham Bryan College. "I thought I might become a groundsman. Surely I'll get spotted kicking a football at lunchtime. I'll be playing for England in a fortnight. It never happened."After completing his studies he landed the job of head gardener at Bramham Park, a French style garden where in some ways, his learning was just beginning:"I always said I learnt more in the first six months as a head gardener than I had in eight years at college. And that's not meant to be a slur on what they taught me at Askham Bryan. It's just that when you're in position, you have to learn."Castle Howard's Brian Hutchinson formed the Professional Gardeners Guild around this time and Alan was offered the gardener's manager's job at Harewood House which is where he got his TV break when Yorkshire TV started filming there.After leaving Harewood in 1987 he set up a garden design business, got a contract in France, bought a 14th century manor house set in eight and a half acres and decided to create a garden there which Yorkshire TV (later on Channel 4) turned into Le Manoir - "and this was 25 years before Escape to the Chateau".Alan talks about PGG's work with horticultural charity Perennial and how he's looking to make links with other garden organisations including National Trust and Historic Houses.He's also involved with encouraging people into the industry via traineeships in collaboration with English Heritage, Historic and Botanic Gardens Trainee Programme and the MacRobert Trust. "It's so easy just to become an insular little group for head gardeners. And we don't want that at all. We want to be what Brian Hutchinson thought we should be at the very start, great for our own members, learning from each other."Alan talks about his view on pay grades for gardeners, financial pressures and how, post-Covid, many places have replaced professionals with volunteers."What the PGG does is offer a salaries and rates guideline...you can use that guideline to show to your employer...and very often it does help with negotiation."It is a negotiating tool, but it will never be perfect. But it is a great assistance. And I know that other professional bodies look to the PGG for our salaries and rates guideline and use it as a good example. Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, I'm visiting Bucklers Hard on the Beaulieu estate – just a short distance from Palace House, Beulieu Abbey and the National Motor Museum. The first Earl of Sandwich, the branch of the Montagu family which I married into, is known worldwide because he was head of the Admiralty and brought King Charles II back from exile. But it's now wonderful for me to visit Beaulieu and discover the rich maritime links of another branch of the Montagu family. I'll be meeting with the Hon. Mary Montagu-Scott who has a lifelong passion for the maritime history of Beaulieu and is a keen sailor. Mary shows me the replica timber framed shipwrights workshop which she masterminded. And my husband Luke and I will be cheering on our 17 year old son, William as he and Mary set sail on the Beaulieu river.To find out more about Palace House, Beaulieu: https://www.beaulieu.co.ukPlease support the production of American Viscountess and in particular our high production quality of the Historic Houses by becoming a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/americanviscountessHere you'll received all vlogs and Historic House episodes early and ad-free plus behind-the-scenes videos, American Viscountess merchandise and much more!

Not only is Beaulieu home to the National Motor Museum, but also to the extraordinary ruins of Beaulieu Abbey, which date back to the foundation of the monastery here in the thirteenth century. The more I visit historic houses around Britain, the more I realise how many of them have monastic roots. In this episode, Lord Montagu guides me around some of the surviving buildings and shows me the exquisite wall hangings, stitched by his mother, which chart the history of the abbey. I also explore a hidden part of the Beaulieu estate where the well used by the monks still survives today. And I end my visit at the newly restored ice house – a glimpse back to the days when historic houses functioned more like life in the tv series, Downton Abbey.To find out more about Palace House, Beaulieu: https://www.beaulieu.co.ukPlease support the production of American Viscountess and in particular our high production quality of the Historic Houses by becoming a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/americanviscountessHere you'll received all vlogs and Historic House episodes early and ad-free plus behind-the-scenes videos, American Viscountess merchandise and much more!

In a new series of films, I explore the historic home of Lord Montagu of Beaulieu. In 1952, Beaulieu was one of the first historic houses in Britain to open it's doors to the public - and with the family passion for the motor car at its heart, interest soon grew and the National Motor Museum was born. Today, the collection includes 285 vehicles and thousands of objects relating to the history of motoring. A highlight for me was a visit to the workshops of the museum - where I was able to have a peek under the bonnet of one of the cars that launched the museum - a 1903 De Dion Bouton ... be sure to watch to see what happened when I got behind the wheel!To find out more about Palace House, Beaulieu: https://www.beaulieu.co.ukPlease support the production of American Viscountess and in particular our high production quality of the Historic Houses by becoming a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/americanviscountessHere you'll received all vlogs and Historic House episodes early and ad-free plus behind-the-scenes videos, American Viscountess merchandise and much more!

In the final instalment of my visit to Deene Park, I get stuck in and see all that goes on in preparing for a big wedding by the lake - one of three wedding venues on the estate. These historic houses rely on visitor income, the tours, the events, but weddings are a huge part of that income – which all helps with the restoration and repair, to preserve this part of Britain's heritage. I'll be exploring the beautiful gardens with Charlotte and Robert Brudenell – and seeing how Charlotte has created her own signature rose garden. With some polishing of silver and setting the table for our farewell dinner party – this visit to Deene Park has been a joy from start to finish.To find out more about Deene Park: https://www.deenepark.comPlease support the production of American Viscountess and in particular our high production quality of the Historic Houses by becoming a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/americanviscountessHere you'll received all vlogs and Historic House episodes early and ad-free plus behind-the-scenes videos, American Viscountess merchandise and much more!

The other shoe finally dropped for Congressman Kevin McCarthy after a historic vote on the House floor to remove him as Speaker this week took less than an hour, as opposed to the days it took for him to win over the gavel on the 15th round of voting back in January. As much as the motion to vacate felt abrupt, it has long been threatened by both Democrats and Republicans alike. Republican Strategist and former Deputy Communications Director for former Speaker John Boehner, Mike Ricci shares why he believes Democrats did not bail the Speaker out, speculates the reasoning behind the lack of trust between representatives, and predicts that whoever fills this vacancy will face a multitude of competing priorities. With the future of Republican leadership in the House of Representatives up in the air, what could become of future aid to Ukraine in its fight against Russia? Many Republicans have voiced their opposition to further Ukraine aid in future spending bills, with the issue also driving a wedge between 2024 Presidential Candidates. Former U.S. Ambassador to NATO and Special Representative to Ukraine under former President Trump, Kurt Volker discusses why it is imperative that the U.S. continues aid to Ukraine, what European nations are doing to help with the war effort, and how America's political situation factors into Russian President Vladimir Putin's plans for the war.

In this third instalment of American Viscountess at Deans Court, I explore the beautifully decorated interiors – from the splendour of the Georgian period to the colourful brushwork of the 1930s. And just a short walk from the house is a 1930s squash court and garage which have been transformed into a shop and café.

Vermont's oldest synagogue has been sold — and its new owner plans to turn it into a food hall and apartments. The nearly 140-year-old brick synagogue in Burlington's Old North End served as an important center for the city's Jewish community for decades. Now deteriorating physically, with its congregation mostly dwindled away, it has been sold to an entrepreneur who plans to redevelop the building.Host Sam Gale Rosen toured the historic building with the new owner and visited the nearby, newer synagogue that has now acquired many of the historic artifacts from the older location.On this episode of The Deeper Dig, we talk about the history at play, what's planned for the building and what happens when a space for spirituality becomes something else.

In this episode, I'm visiting Bucklers Hard on the Beaulieu estate – just a short distance from Palace House, Beulieu Abbey and the National Motor Museum. The first Earl of Sandwich, the branch of the Montagu family which I married into, is known worldwide because he was head of the Admiralty and brought King Charles II back from exile. But it's now wonderful for me to visit Beaulieu and discover the rich maritime links of another branch of the Montagu family. I'll be meeting with the Hon. Mary Montagu-Scott who has a lifelong passion for the maritime history of Beaulieu and is a keen sailor. Mary shows me the replica timber framed shipwrights workshop which she masterminded. And my husband Luke and I will be cheering on our 17 year old son, William as he and Mary set sail on the Beaulieu river.To find out more about Palace House, Beaulieu: https://www.beaulieu.co.ukPlease support the production of American Viscountess and in particular our high production quality of the Historic Houses by becoming a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/americanviscountessHere you'll received all vlogs and Historic House episodes early and ad-free plus behind-the-scenes videos, American Viscountess merchandise and much more!

The New-York Historical Society's Center for Women's History is pleased to partner with the ITPS (Institute for Thomas Paine Studies) at Iona University for the third season of their podcast, Public History in a Virtual Age. In the first half of the season, co-hosts Dr. Kellen Heniford, historical consultant and formerly of the ITPS, and Jeanne Gutierrez, Curatorial Scholar in Women's History, will interview curators, educators, and scholars at the New-York Historical Society to explore the many ways in which New York's first museum presents women's history and gender history to the public. The second half of the season will focus specifically on how public historians in and around New York City address the history of women who are underrepresented in museum and archival collections, with a focus on enslaved women, Indigenous women, and immigrant women.This episodes guest, Meredith Horsford, is the Executive Director at Historic House Trust of NYC and Director of Historic Houses at the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation.

This week I am joined by guest, Sarah Somerville, Visitor Services Officer at at the historic Shaw House in West Berkshire, England, to delve deep into the how, what, why and who of the fashion-focused exhibition ‘Dressed for Shaw' currently held at Shaw House. Dressed for Shaw, an exhibition exploring the key moments in Shaw House's history through clothes, delves into the more personal stories and secrets of those who energized the House over the last 400 years. Through period dress, from the Farthingale's of the 1580's, to the breeches of the 1640's, frills of the 1730's, and the weathered wool of the 19th century - this exhibition works to better understand how these items shaped the history of Shaw House. Shaw House is one of the best-preserved Elizabethan mansions in England, and over the centuries has welcomed royalty, seen action during the Civil War, housed soldiers during World War Il and schooled generations of local children and has a rich and fascinating history: and it's fashions are no stranger.

Settling into November now, this week on Cultivating Place we're in conversation with three members of the horticultural team at Filoli, a historic house and 16 acres cultivated garden in Woodside, California, where they are striving toward environmental and cultural practices to generously pay their long history of privilege forward. Just in time for the generous season in front of us. At Filoli, gardeners are striving to meet the social and environmental moment in the best ways possible—ever adapting and evolving to experiment, include, reinterpret, and contribute more and more positively. They think not only about what to plant when but about why these spaces matter and what they have to teach us.  Jim Salyards is the Director of the garden at Filoli, Kate Nowell is the production gardens manager, and Haley O'Connor is Filoli's formal gardens manager. They are all with us this week to speak and share more on just these topics. Listen in! Cultivating Place now has a donate button! We thank you so much for listening over the years and we hope you'll support Cultivating Place. We can't thank you enough for making it possible for this young program to grow even more of these types of conversations.
