00:00This is a renovation story 200 years in the making.
00:07When I bought this house, it struck a nerve because here was a gay black man owning a
00:16plantation style home saying that we can include ourselves where they have worked so hard to
00:23exclude us.
00:26The house was built in 1820 when slavery was still legal in many U.S. states.
00:33There are rooms in this home I would not have been able to step into.
00:39How beautiful that we actually get to wake up this space.
00:44That's life to me.
00:49I am Robert Hartwell.
00:50I'm a Broadway performer, educator, entrepreneur, and this is my White House.
00:57The house had been on the market for years.
01:00Everyone would see the sheer amount of work and be scared to death.
01:07When I walked in, I knew that I had found home.
01:09I want you to step into this space like your crown has been straightened.
01:15Robert has never renovated a house.
01:17I don't think he knew what he was getting into.
01:19You literally have a river running through your home.
01:22That's frightening.
01:24This column is rotten.
01:25It needs to come down.
01:27It's very expensive.
01:28$40,000.
01:29$60,000.
01:30I started to get mad.
01:31That's when I was like, I'm getting over this finish line and don't mess with me.
01:38I'm really going to be living my best life in this house.
01:42Come on.
01:43I'm not calling this bedroom a master because there ain't no master here.
01:50It's about drenching the place in color.
01:52Are you freaking kidding me?
01:55Wow.
01:56When people come in, they realize I am royalty and I deserve to be here.
