Awesome content man! I just started my channel and I love watching other peoples content to get some ideas! Ive been doing some filming of abandoned places myself! Keep up the good work!
Wow, that is a really cool house, and you made some good finds! Looks like the people who lived there may have been an old couple who lived out their final years. I’m glad to see this is one of the few homes that hasn’t been vandalized or tagged up with graffiti. As you said, this house could totally be salvaged. I actually like the style of the kitchen sink because people had room to set their dishes and the water could just drain off. Looks like it was all porcelain. One thing I know about is the old knob and tube wiring in the attic, which was popular between the early 1930’s and was discontinued in the late 1940’s to early 50’s. This type of wiring is still being used in one of my rent houses in Texas. The glass “cane” you found looks like it could date back to the 1930’s, as the yellowish brown colored center resembles depression era glass that was produced back then. Maybe it could have been used as a yard ornament or decoration for the home?? You can find out when the house was built and who owned it by doing a public records search with the County Appraiser’s office. I’m also glad you are not posting the addresses publicly. I only wish some of these places could be saved before it’s too late. Obviously, the owners did a very good job with the upkeep judging from the condition of the home.
That panel is just access to the tubs pipes for inspection and maintenance. Andrew walks around like Frankenstein in lead boots. lol It's like in Jurassic Park and the glass of water when the T-Rex is coming. That same kitchen flower wall paper inside the cupboards was in my Grandparents 1967 Glendale camping trailer. 7:02, slot car tracks, cool. 13:51,old hot wheel, super cool. Glass cane could be for a shepherd from a Christmas nativity scene since it was in the attic where such things would be stored. Just a guess and the classic Playboy!!! I have everyone from 1964 to 1995, RIP to the Hef. ;)
Are you from Alton? I’m from Alton and I love the history of the town and I was wondering if you would wanna go on a history tour of the town and maybe I could learn some things or I can teach you some stuff you might have not known about, lmk;)
It looks like a tool to pull down a folding staircase that would lead to a loft or attic. Maybe at one time this house had such a staircase and then it was replaced with the stairs that you used to access the attic. Just a thought. Superb video as always. I really enjoy exploring these places 😎
I would say the sink was from the 50’s because metal was no longer scarce after WW2 was over. Plus the Great Depression was over. The added bonus with metal is mice can’t chew threw it.
I believe that glass thing is a cane🤷♀️ I could be wrong.. Thanks for sharing your video, It amazes me on how many abandoned houses there are in this world..
@@TattooTonyAlton it could also have been used as a support for a large house plant. I am guessing due to the sharp edge at the bottom. I’m curious, did you take the cane home with you? You can show it to an antiques dealer.
You should never wear tennis shoes whilst Urbexing, and, tell him to get a pair of boots with rubber soles, like Bates boots, tactical boots, etc, they are very quiet so you can sneak around w/O being heard!! Good stuff men!
Limestone rock foundation [ up until 1920,] [concrete basement floor - 1920] Youngstown kitchen sink [not original but remodel in late 40's] , coal chute, wooden beams [not rough sawn so late teens/early 20's,] knob and tube wiring pre 1940 so probably original] Fuse panel in basement [remodel post WW II] - - - so my guess is 1920. Well built well maintained until 1960. Not a cheap old home. The brick thing under the porch was a cistern.
Those old newspapers were a look into the past, wasn't it? Very cool!! Thanks for the explore!! Stay safe! Peace, Kim ~
Hello Tony pretty cool home I’m sure it was beautiful back in the day. Maybe from the 50’s . Thank you for sharing have a great weekend 😊

Ya it’s a cane

Thanks for the video see the old tacking paper

Hi all from New Mexico

The access panel was for the pipes of the 🛁 bathtub. *check the medicine cabinets for a razor slot😉
I used too always look for them
@@TattooTonyAlton - I thought so! I'm just grateful that you still upload explores rather than food tasting or something lol
