That is so horrible to hear :( Such a beautiful place gone that had been standing for so long. Couldn't have been electrical since that was no longer working.
To me says to cover up evidence what do you think JP sometimes in life you've got to think of the negative before you think of the positive please get back
Thank you for the warning about the second dead kitty. Wish I'd been warned about the first. 😭 I'm an avid kitty lover and have 11 kitties myself, couldn't imagine those poor babies being trapped and starving to death. Breaks my heart. 💔
True this was once a beautiful mansion... But trust me, my friends, this was "hell" for the patients. At that time they were heavily, heavily medicated.... The poor children, my heart aches for them... The vibes there are very Dark.....
This is true that back then patients with mental disorders were heavily medicated, that is also a part of history. I think (just my opinion of course) this video was created to see the beauty it contains and the surrounding areas. The stained glass windows are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing the beauty of this mansion.
My thoughts think of the horrible things that must of gone on in this place. I think of the children what they must of gone through .bet this place was no bed of roses to be in. This place. Sad dark place
If they knock this place down. Then they're tearing a piece of history away. What a shame that it's in the shape it's in. A lot more beautiful then today's buildings
If they tear it down I hope they salvage the woodwork and the antiques the spindles on the staircase are beautiful they don't even make that type of paneling anymore wouldn't be surprised if it was Walnut. I'd like to see what's under all that white paint.
Can't help but imagine just how impressive this must have been when it was a private residence. What a shame that it is in such a sad state of disrepair now. Love the gorgeous stained glass and the beautiful mantels for the fireplaces. And the massive main staircase. So much history to be lost.
We have pre civil war mansions in Madison Georgia, Sherman didn't burn this town on his March To The Sea. It's very costly to keep these homes in mint condition, but the city let's the home owners who open up their homes to tourist so many times a year for the tour of homes,are tax exempt. The tour of homes brings in a lot of business and revenue for all the shops and restaurants. Maybe if other cities would make these historical and charge a fee maybe these places could be saved
@@SM-it4ub Lead paint is known to peel. Modern paint cannot use lead because if kids eat the peeled chips, they can die of lead poisoning. Without lead, modern paints don't peel like that.
It would have been nice to see the outside area in more detail & less of the gone off ketchup & depressing peeling paint, but thats just my opinion. Thankyou for sharing.
There are so many places. When we were house hunting 18 yrs ago in South Carolina we saw plantation homes sitting in sub divisions! Some were very restorable. One we looked at even had a 3rd floor ballroom. There were a least 5 fire places. The porch wrapped around the house! I loved it, but it now sat in a rundown neighborhood that had grown up around it. My husband looked like he wanted to run away as fast as he could, probably thinking he'd be in restoration h*ll the remainder of his life!
Imagine if the people who once lived in this beautiful home could come back to see what became of it! How horribly sad they'd be to see this. Sorry, morbid, but I think this way every time I see abandoned places. From the outside, this home is spectacular and what was left, wow, imagine living here and taking this all for granted!
That is one of the the most beautiful ceiling light plates I think I've ever seen at 22:40. Imagine how even more beautiful it was in its heyday. It is so sad that it's probably going to be destroyed at some point if that ceiling caves. PS: I love that you take time and really video as much as you can I hate when other channel's just breeze of an antique item. Thank you for researching and providing background to your viewers. It really does help to pull you in. I have fallen in LOVE with urban exploration this year and can't wait to binge your library of videos! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
One can only imagine the leftover souls that are entombed within these rooms and corridors. Can feel the chill in the air as we speak and hear the creaking of the floorboards, especially in the twisting staircases and yes there are many for sure. Thanks JP Videos for the chance to have traveled with you on this awesome quest.
First of all I would really like to say many many thanks guys for bringing this video to us. I have watched video's of old places but this made me feel quite emotional and sad. Even though it's falling apart, left to the elements and Mother nature, it's still so extremely beautiful. Everything about the place from inside out has still so much character, from the mouth dropping staircase to the stained glass windows, shutter's, wooden mouldings and not forgetting those beautiful, beautiful fireplaces. I'm so stunned that it's all being left in the property. It's not about getting it out to make money, it's about preserving history and the story's of where it all came from. Again thank you guys for filming it, I was glued to the screen with such interest. Wishing you all the very best wishes from Tracey in England x 🌹 x
Would be very nice if they would preserve it instead of letting it decay. I can't believe the things people do to these abandoned places it's disgusting.
I just watched a video done by a couple young guys at this same location. There has been a massive cleanup, both inside and out since their video!! There was a huge amount of trash and styrofoam from the fallen lowered ceilings in their video. There appears to have been work done to stop water damage from continuing, as water dripping off the pipes downstairs and the wood on the staircase was covered with some kind of crud...perhaps even fungus stuff... the front porch was covered in overgrown foliage or even weeds... At the beginning there was a bit more info on the history that said the original owner "charles Baker" I believe was his name, died from mysterious causes shortly after the construction completed in 1890... The Gundry person who bought the property (which was originally a privately owned home and farm), and opened it as an asylum, as well as opening several other facilities in close proximity to this one... sounds kind of sketchy... for some reason. Also, somewhere that I was poking around looking for info on this place a person commented that the Play should go up in flames simply due to all the child abuse that happened during the years it was used for children. He said he still had nightmares about a Mr. Somebody (cant remember the name). Another comment was from somebody who had worked there as a nurse that backed up that statement, as they had trained there for some time and it was not a good place for anybody to be!! I cant remember the exact statement, only know that the statement of child abuse occurring there was backed up by a staff member from that era!! Sooo, it appears there has possibly been some "darkness" looming there from the very beginning when the one who had the home built, died from mysterious causes, shortly after he moved in. It didnt say died from unknown causes...mysterious causes! Anyway, I know the building didnt kill him, but just sayin... There are people showing the place more love in the very recent past then it has seen in many years!! Just do a search on internet for Gundry/Glass asylum and u will find the videos i am referring to. Jp's video showed much more appreciation for the beautiful architecture then others for sure...but kids not only had no idea that it was originally built for private residency by an affluent man, plus there was so much trash and debris throughout the whole mansion...it would have been much more difficult to see what was there at that time. The stain glass ceiling that had the skylight above it was much brighter when they were there! I feel like the place might actually have a 2nd chance for life!! There is also some local program offering free rent to applicants who would be interested in moving in and working on restorations!! Application arre only accepted thru April 12th!! So somebody should go for it!! That info can also be found doing a search on internet!😘
JP, thank you for finding and exploring this magnificent Beauty!! ❤ I can't imagine all the rooms, furnishings, and such amazing architecture of this place. I love the Stairs, the Stained Glass above the Center of the Staircase! And the Beautiful Little Girls Stained Glass Windows in the one room, the Amazing Shutters that would hide in the wall till they were pulled out. Of course, I can't forget the Pocket Doors and all the Tall Doors and Windows, the Beautiful Ornamentation on the ceiling above the Light, and the Colorful Decorative pieces on some of the Walls, and cannot forget the Beautiful Marble Fireplace Mamtles some very Elaborate, ad well as Beautiful Wood Mirrors, too much to talk about. It's just all so Magnificently done!! It had to be a "Grand Lady" in it early years. This has to be my Favorite so far... Thank you for taking your time, and care with showing us this place. God Bless You! ❤💛❤
I kept feeling like I was looking at a land version of the Titanic with all the ornate fireplaces, thick sturdy railings, and stained glass. Amazing! Thank you for sharing!!
So beautiful....& yet sad. They don’t build them like they used to though. That’s for sure.....I’ll never understand why they let houses like that just slowly rot away.🥺I’m sure because of expenses & what not. But still sad....
Absolutely amazing place. The stain glass windows, the ceilings, the fireplaces, doors, and staircase. Wow! So sad to see it falling to disrepair. Glad you documented it before it is gone though. Thank you!
Very sad place indeed. This is the type of place where greedy wealthy men would dump their wives after planning to start a new life and not divorce. Later children were imprisoned from first wife after she expired. Sadly, the world is wicked this way. Peace freedom to all the empty souls left may they move on now. By the way that is lead based paint be careful when it's think peels that way you know. Please don't wear any clothes in home or around children. Thanks for sharing.
It is so sad to see such a grand place left to rot like that. What an amazing place it must have been. Making it into apartments would ok as long as they didn't change the look of the place by removing or adding walls. This is a amazing video, thank you.
This place was the best, the staircase, all the stained glass and intricate designs in the woodwork let alone all the fancy fireplaces throughout the building. Thanks JP. for taking us on an awesome adventure!
Wow! The workmanship that was put into that staircase is awesome! When was this mansion built. 1800's..maybe earlier. The Gundry Sanitarium was established in 1891.
Just as you were turning into one of the rooms, as always, I wondered what this grand home was like at Christmastime...and there was decorations. Love your enthusiasm!
Thanks! That was astounding! It never ceases to amaze me that such a beautiful building could fall to this state. You cant help but imagine the lives of those who were kept in those rooms.
Velvet d'Amour I feel like the patients would have been better served in more of a hospital type building, and the magnificent building would have been better served by being filled with visitors touring through it like the castles in Europe!! Charging tourists to tour through and or even staying overnight as guests!! Then that place would have gotten the love and appreciation it needed to not fall in to such decay!! I ALMOST wish I hadn't watched this video because it hurts to see how little love humanity showed it, with all it's grandeur!! The original owners appeared to fill the walls and ceilings and windows with the best of the best of art in stained glass, marble work, wood work of epic portions on the staircase and banisters as well as the grand woodwork around the mirrors that used to hang above the fireplaces, the pocket doors that were originally hard oak (I am sure), all rooms would have originally had crown molding of hard wood around the tops and bottoms (that eventually were ruined by painting over them like they did the pocket doors, there also were most certainly awesome natural wood doors on all bedrooms and entrance/exiting doors! Makes me wonder what kind of people built it originally...were they so rich that they didnt care about it when they no longer wanted to live there, or did they lose their fortune and have to sell it to an "institutional" facility for whatever they could get for it? If only the walls could tell us. I morn for the place, and wonder if it ever got the love that all homes deserve to experience!! I felt like it never did or it wouldnt be decaying in just over a century!! I truly pray that someone reclaims all the beautiful things I mentioned and gives them new life somewhere before they too are just wasted!!
WoW WoW WoW!!!!! What a mansion!!!! Thank you for taking us along on this exciting adventure of such a beautiful place. Most of all thank you for documenting the history of this beauty. It saddens me to see such glorious old history go by the wayside of time, but with your dedicated work, it will live on. The fact that it had gas lights and was one of the first places to have a sprinkler system installed when it was built just blows my mind. The fireplaces were magnificent and the shutters and pocket doors, awesome and so ahead of their time. I'll say it again just WoW WoW WoW!!!
Oh. My gosh!!!!! This is just breath taking. The details and the condition of this beauty is amazing!!! I loveee how attentive you are as well. It was a pleasure watching this!! Amazing work 💝
WHAT A MEMORY---I don't have. I meant to comment about those rooms on the third floor with the heavy doors and substantial locks. I suddenly realized, after you'd turned the locking knob, that it was on the *inside* of the door, with the key lock barrel on the outside. I wonder why they were so secure for whoever was inside, not to keep him/her IN, but to keep others OUT? As Pappy used to say, "I don't think I understand what I know about this."
Absolutely stunning, ornate craftsmanship. When pride was taken in building such structures. The marble fireplaces, the wood on the fireplaces, the stained glass all over, especially the ones with the Victorian girls-beautiful!!! Oh, to see it in its original splendor, what a treat that would be. My last favorite, the gorgeous weather vane. Thank you for being so thorough and really taking your time on the smallest detail. And for your overall respect, right down to the poor kitties. You're really a neat guy! 💗 Also, love the drone footage. On another video, I asked how you got your aerial footage. Now I know. 😉
Because that grand old building has a asbestos. It would be impossibly expensive to remove it all. The sprinkler s where in the window cells because they would place candles at the windows.
The historical society would rather no one knew about these old Tartarian buildings. When they were built the people living there were much taller, hence the huge doorways and high ceilings. Then they redid them to look like they were for normal people (our size). They called them sanitariums because they cleaned the people off the land that knew of the old ways and people. Put them where no one would ever see, or talk to them. And if they ever did find someone to talk to the people in charge just say they are crazy, so no one will believe them. After they all die out their truths die out with them. All that is left are these amazing old structures that have been around for ages, begging for someone to find out the truth . Thare are so many of these structures all over the world, and many governments have tried to destroy them, before people start questioning their origins. But many have been left out in the hinterlands that they thought nobody would find. Here is another fine example of the amazing craftsmanship that went into building these old beauties. They also say they were built in the late 1880's, but I believe they are built much earlier than this.
@@OneBlueFroggy In the UK most asylums have been demolished and fancy housing estates built on the land. Funny though, they always leave the water towers alone.
Haven't seen abandoned video's in quite awhile. But to my chagrin the first one to come on is one of yours. And you JP NEVER seem to ever disappoint. Your videos are truly the best. I love the respect you have for these old beautiful places. This is so very important for everyone who enjoys visiting these absolute gorgeous buildings. Thanks for the video. I can only imagine while viewing these mansions the beauty they once were glorified with at one time in history. Keep up the awesome videos. I truly enjoy them!!! :)
It's very upsetting. That first skeleton looks like a dog from the skull shape and teeth. I really hope people didn't leave the pets trapped in there, but it had to be either that, or they were dragged their by a coyote and killed, or stupid teens sacrificed them etc. There just doesn't seem to be a single positive theory for why those animals are there that I can think of, it's very disturbing.
The architectural structures throughout, the beautiful stained glass, intricate wall, corner, and ceiling colors and details, the magnificent TALL ceilings and mirrors are all way too amazing to actually be found in one location! What an amazing find!!
Wow! How sad, I bet this was a truly grand house in its day. Unfortunately, when they get donated as hospitals they are often not kept up and allowed to decay to the point of condemnation.
thank you for this glorious explore. The subtitles of explanations makes it so much interesting and informative. The way you film and explain, I almost feel like I am there. I agree so grand and beautiful! wish there was pictures before it went into disrepair. Look forward to your next explore :)
This is the first time I have watched videos on abandoned mansions and I was just getting ready to exit out, because I had been watching them for 2 hours, when I heard you say you were in Maryland and since I live in Maryland, it definitely caught my attention. I can't tell you how surprised I was when you mentioned Gundry's mansion. I grew up just 3 block from the road that Gundry's is on. I remember it well and was so excited to see the "documentary" that you were doing. It was wonderful to see the inside even though it is in such disrepair. I can now imagine how beautiful it was especially with the staircase and the magnificent stained glass at the top along with the many beautiful fireplaces. Thank you so much for doing this video. Just a note: my husband's great aunt and uncle lived on the property that joined the Gundry property. Their house faced the main road that led into the city, which is also the road I lived on. Again, thank you
I have watched a lot of abandoned videos and this has got to be the BEST one I have seen. Such good quality filming and the detail he likes is the same detail I like so no skipping forward for me. LOVED every minute of this video! GREATNESS!
Kat M Yes there was another one a poor tabby cat looked like it had died around the same time as the black cat and they both obviously belonged to someone as they were wearing collars 😢😢
This is just wild ! I had to watch it twice to try to take it all in ! The craftsmanship is simply amazing. And that massive staircase, too much to mention. I loved it. Any chance you could start a petition to reinstate it to it's former glory? Sad and exciting all at the same time. Sorry for the two kitties. 😒 well , thanks again from Beautiful BC, Canada 🇨🇦
That is one side puppy. Awesome video. I have never seen window blinds like those purple ones. That fireplace is beyond awesome. The person that had that mansion built spared no expense. (OMG you just said the same thing) Beautiful touches. Imagine all that wood use to be paint free....
This place was amazing, can't wait to see your video on it!! I have two sets of video clips from there, I'll probably split my half-hour phone clip into two clips, and still not sure what I'm going to do with my camera footage yet. This is definitely going to be a good one, we spent a lot of time in there filming!!
@@MsDawggysLuckyLife thank you very much and welcome to the channel. I have a passion for anything old, historic, or antique and especially abandoned!! Also I love to follow and film trains at times. Thanks again and enjoy😁
I truly appreciate historic things as well..my channel has 50 subscribers lol but I’m sharing when I can. Thank you as I scanned your videos and subscribed and I’ll be going home to watch them. 👊🏻💯😉
@@MsDawggysLuckyLife that's awesome, enjoy. And if you have videos of old or historic stuff I will check out your channel as well. I'm always looking for new channels to watch, and appreciate everything that people take the time to share
I want a front porch like that one !!! That mansion is truly magnificent.. I would love to see pictures of it when it in it's TRUE glory. I can't get over the wood work on the stairs and fireplaces . Thank you for taking us to places we'd never even known existed .
Kind of makes you wonder why they let places like that go to seed. So much amazing architecture. I hope somebody buries that poor beautiful black cat that passed away.. so sad. :-(
@@lianneh.medaugh9768 A cat is not a person. Animals that die are all around us. Nobody buries them all. I mean you would bury your OWN but I think that poor cat got stuck in there.
And this place does not have restless souls and bratty ghost children. Thanks for the talk and the video. I'm so glad you take the time to really check out homes and their beauty and forgotten belongings. You are appreciated.
Beautiful! Thank you for taking the time to show all of the details of this amazing place! I would much rather watch a video, like yours, that is long but takes the time to show the special aspects of the building than a short one that just rushes through everything. Thank you!
The decorative pieces you are finding on the walls and the ceilings are known as “frieze” sculpture. The can be carved from stone or cast in plaster. The pieces were once standard in homes of the wealthy and to a lesser extent in upper middle class homes at the turn of the century. My grandmother had some that were made of wood and were lovingly painted by her grandmother.
Thank you for sharing these awesome places with us. I would've loved to explore myself, but am disabled. It's great to go through these places with you on your videos. Something I would never be able to experience if not for you. I appreciate you keeping a level of respect for these otherwise forgotten places.
A beautiful home and a great find. It never ceases to amaze me that "whoever" allows these places to rot. Loved it all....except for the kitties...poor things. Thanks JP.
I saw the video footage from one of the other explorers who was with you- Jacob. His was great because you get to see other things not seen in yours (really loved his shots of the five buildings next to the manor). His, got annoying after a while because sometimes he moved around too fast and also he just HAD to read out loud every sign and every piece of paper- almost maddening. Still loved his footage but yours was the best- both helped me get a good sense of this place.
We bought a large house that had been divided into four apartments. There was no greater pleasure than bringing it back into a beloved single family home. So many dividers we had to rip out! We still are not certain of the original floor plan and usage. We believe it was built between 1839-41 judging by the price jump on the deeds.
Beautiful mansion even with some decay - it should be preserved not left to rot ! I was impressed with the wood railings and the old gaslights . Thank you for sharing this awesome video 👍💕
Wow, this is absolutely one of my favorite videos. It is interesting, yet sad to see the condition of what was once a beautiful home, hospital, asylum. Love the drone footage and the accompanying music. Not sure I would be as bold as you and the gang in some of those rooms, but then there is safety in numbers. Thank you for sharing.
The picture before it's decay was beautiful. It's just sickening awful the way it looks now, but that won't stop me from watching👍👍🤗thanks for sharing JP!!
I love the outside stone work. I saw what looked like a drive in area for an ambulance in the back. Love the inside brick walls and floor. Basement was cool. You pass up much of the architectural foundation of the property. It speaks of the age, and how homes and structures were built with great integrity. Not cheap like today’s standards. Fireplace was just amazing.
nice video..it's a real wonder why people let things go so long, I guess maybe there was nobody left in the family that wanted to do anything with this beautiful place.
Your videos are just wonderful. You sincerely have a passion for these old places... not just trying to get likes. And that makes your explorations the absolute best. So fun when you get excited and jazzed about the details! Thank you SO much for giving these old beautiful buildings so much love.
This was a beautiful mansion created with quality materials. I hope, if it must be demolished, that it will be re claimed by people who know the value of it's parts. Thanks, Rik Spector
It takes a lot of skill and patience to dismantle some of the details in a place such as this.Hope they are able to save the stained glass and fireplace surrounds,as well as the moldings and woodwork.
I am currently going through chemo and radiation for cancer,,these videos make my downtime more tolerable. I can't thank you enough for the quality of all your videos!💖
Wow. This one by far is my favorite. So much work went into this house and why was it left to rot? So glad it wasn’t graffitied. Love those built-in shutters. Thanks for going in and documenting Jay and co.
Thank you so much for telling the story of a place and giving it, it's dignity and respect back, even if just for a little while. So, thank you! Whatta shame! This is where a state drops the ball, by not funding the upkeep of its mist historical places and just leaving them to rot, very frustrating and disrespectful!
Absolutely wonderful! I'm from that area & did a bit of (ruined homes) exploring as a teen, but never saw woodwork that glorious. If not restoreable, sure hope someone who knows what they're doing goes in & salvages the place. Thank-you JP! (Nice drone work!)
Beautiful Victorian colored, decorative stain glass windows were popular from 1840-1870 and by the 1890's clear etched or clear stained glass windows became the vogue. I would date these stain glass windows around 1860 and quite unique and decorative.
I agree. I don't think those gas lines were original either. The room with those pipes over the much later added dropped ceiling, those pipes would never have been run that way by such architectural artists.
The cloth doll you found was Holly Hobbie. Very popular with girls in the 70's/80's. I had the same one. They made Holly Hobbie everything for awhile...sheets, calendars, plates, books, etc. It was kinda sad seeing the doll. Made me think of the young girls that had to stay there away from their families. Hopefully it brought some happiness to someone. Enjoyed the explore...what a spectacular location! Thanks for what you do.
I love the memorial you made for the cat with the flowers. Y'all did such a great job with this video. You can tell so much about the age of a place by two things (1) number of fireplaces and (2) lack of closets. This house at one time would've had a chifferobe in every room and would've been heated only by those fireplaces. It was a beloved home in it's beginning. I hope that it can still be restored. Thanks guys and gal.
The flowers around the cats were there long before these guys visited. Dan Bell visited this location a while back and noted the dead cats with the flowers.
Robin Beard Dan found them April 27th, so not too long. Stuff doesn’t decompose that fast when not exposed to the elements either. These are in a relatively dry house with no outside carrions, or masses of bugs. The cats are probably very stiff, but they won’t necessarily become zombie-looking for a good while. Dan also confirmed that the flowers are plastic.
Hey JpVideos.... that breaks my heart!!! you could check the cat's collar and can you contact the vet and who owned the cat for chip and let the owner know where is the cat at?? should they take the cat out of the house and bury it in the ground and what better for them to memory!. Also what so beautiful mansion building around the house and what amazing all the way to top from bottom!. I love your shows what is many things like fireplaces and doors like that. I wonder what can you tell me if they put the auction or sell the house or real bad condition around the house? I gave you Two thump up and Keep going!.
that is totally badass. i do the same thing, explore abandon places. i love what you have done here man, preservation of the past. there may not be actual ghosts in there, but the ghosts of the past call out to us who feel and beckon us to help keep their memories alive. thank you so much brother.
This mansion is an architectural masterpiece. Thanks to you it will never be forgotten. As for the stained glass, If the name Louis Comfort Tiffany appears, especially on the large skylight, there you have a small fortune. Many times skylights were covered up for various reasons. Then during restoration rediscovered with the Tiffany signature. Nevertheless, an outstanding example of American craftsmanship.
September 27, 2021 update: this places went up in flames and is no more...
So sad to hear that, another historical piece of architecture that goes up in flames.
What a shame. Glad we have JP's video as a document. I sort of was hoping this place could have been saved.
Arson?
That is so horrible to hear :( Such a beautiful place gone that had been standing for so long. Couldn't have been electrical since that was no longer working.
To me says to cover up evidence what do you think JP sometimes in life you've got to think of the negative before you think of the positive please get back
Thank you for the warning about the second dead kitty. Wish I'd been warned about the first. 😭 I'm an avid kitty lover and have 11 kitties myself, couldn't imagine those poor babies being trapped and starving to death. Breaks my heart. 💔
True this was once a beautiful mansion... But trust me, my friends, this was "hell" for the patients. At that time they were heavily, heavily medicated.... The poor children, my heart aches for them... The vibes there are very Dark.....
This is true that back then patients with mental disorders were heavily medicated, that is also a part of history. I think (just my opinion of course) this video was created to see the beauty it contains and the surrounding areas. The stained glass windows are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing the beauty of this mansion.
My thoughts think of the horrible things that must of gone on in this place. I think of the children what they must of gone through .bet this place was no bed of roses to be in. This place. Sad dark place
Facts
This showed how much DR.Gundy cared about the care and comfort for these women and children. What a beautiful place.
If they knock this place down. Then they're tearing a piece of history away. What a shame that it's in the shape it's in. A lot more beautiful then today's buildings
If they knock it down they should keep the stained glass. Antiques are what many people collect.
If they tear it down I hope they salvage the woodwork and the antiques the spindles on the staircase are beautiful they don't even make that type of paneling anymore wouldn't be surprised if it was Walnut. I'd like to see what's under all that white paint.
this didn’t age well
Can't help but imagine just how impressive this must have been when it was a private residence. What a shame that it is in such a sad state of disrepair now. Love the gorgeous stained glass and the beautiful mantels for the fireplaces. And the massive main staircase. So much history to be lost.
The stained glass and beautiful woodwork is unbelievable!!! Very eery and apocalyptic yet pretty and exquisite!
We have pre civil war mansions in Madison Georgia, Sherman didn't burn this town on his March To The Sea. It's very costly to keep these homes in mint condition, but the city let's the home owners who open up their homes to tourist so many times a year for the tour of homes,are tax exempt. The tour of homes brings in a lot of business and revenue for all the shops and restaurants. Maybe if other cities would make these historical and charge a fee maybe these places could be saved
Why does the paint peal like that?
@@SM-it4ub Lead paint is known to peel. Modern paint cannot use lead because if kids eat the peeled chips, they can die of lead poisoning. Without lead, modern paints don't peel like that.
It would have been nice to see the outside area in more detail & less of the gone off ketchup & depressing peeling paint, but thats just my opinion. Thankyou for sharing.
There are so many places. When we were house hunting 18 yrs ago in South Carolina we saw plantation homes sitting in sub divisions! Some were very restorable. One we looked at even had a 3rd floor ballroom. There were a least 5 fire places. The porch wrapped around the house! I loved it, but it now sat in a rundown neighborhood that had grown up around it.

Imagine if the people who once lived in this beautiful home could come back to see what became of it! How horribly sad they'd be to see this. Sorry, morbid, but I think this way every time I see abandoned places. From the outside, this home is spectacular and what was left, wow, imagine living here and taking this all for granted!
That is one of the the most beautiful ceiling light plates I think I've ever seen at 22:40. Imagine how even more beautiful it was in its heyday. It is so sad that it's probably going to be destroyed at some point if that ceiling caves.
PS: I love that you take time and really video as much as you can I hate when other channel's just breeze of an antique item. Thank you for researching and providing background to your viewers. It really does help to pull you in. I have fallen in LOVE with urban exploration this year and can't wait to binge your library of videos! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
One can only imagine the leftover souls that are entombed within these rooms and corridors. Can feel the chill in the air as we speak and hear the creaking of the floorboards, especially in the twisting staircases and yes there are many for sure. Thanks JP Videos for the chance to have traveled with you on this awesome quest.
👍
First of all I would really like to say many many thanks guys for bringing this video to us.
I have watched video's of old places but this made me feel quite emotional and sad.
Even though it's falling apart, left to the elements and Mother nature, it's still so extremely beautiful. Everything about the place from inside out has still so much character, from the mouth dropping staircase to the stained glass windows, shutter's, wooden mouldings and not forgetting those beautiful, beautiful fireplaces.
I'm so stunned that it's all being left in the property. It's not about getting it out to make money, it's about preserving history and the story's of where it all came from.
Again thank you guys for filming it, I was glued to the screen with such interest.
Wishing you all the very best wishes from Tracey in England x 🌹 x
Would be very nice if they would preserve it instead of letting it decay. I can't believe the things people do to these abandoned places it's disgusting.

Interesting place. Yes these places should be preserved.
I just watched a video done by a couple young guys at this same location. There has been a massive cleanup, both inside and out since their video!! There was a huge amount of trash and styrofoam from the fallen lowered ceilings in their video. There appears to have been work done to stop water damage from continuing, as water dripping off the pipes downstairs and the wood on the staircase was covered with some kind of crud...perhaps even fungus stuff... the front porch was covered in overgrown foliage or even weeds...
At the beginning there was a bit more info on the history that said the original owner "charles Baker" I believe was his name, died from mysterious causes shortly after the construction completed in 1890... The Gundry person who bought the property (which was originally a privately owned home and farm), and opened it as an asylum, as well as opening several other facilities in close proximity to this one... sounds kind of sketchy... for some reason.
Also, somewhere that I was poking around looking for info on this place a person commented that the Play should go up in flames simply due to all the child abuse that happened during the years it was used for children. He said he still had nightmares about a Mr. Somebody (cant remember the name). Another comment was from somebody who had worked there as a nurse that backed up that statement, as they had trained there for some time and it was not a good place for anybody to be!! I cant remember the exact statement, only know that the statement of child abuse occurring there was backed up by a staff member from that era!!
Sooo, it appears there has possibly been some "darkness" looming there from the very beginning when the one who had the home built, died from mysterious causes, shortly after he moved in. It didnt say died from unknown causes...mysterious causes! Anyway, I know the building didnt kill him, but just sayin... There are people showing the place more love in the very recent past then it has seen in many years!! Just do a search on internet for Gundry/Glass asylum and u will find the videos i am referring to. Jp's video showed much more appreciation for the beautiful architecture then others for sure...but kids not only had no idea that it was originally built for private residency by an affluent man, plus there was so much trash and debris throughout the whole mansion...it would have been much more difficult to see what was there at that time. The stain glass ceiling that had the skylight above it was much brighter when they were there!
I feel like the place might actually have a 2nd chance for life!!
There is also some local program offering free rent to applicants who would be interested in moving in and working on restorations!! Application arre only accepted thru April 12th!! So somebody should go for it!! That info can also be found doing a search on internet!😘
Ty for all of that. Much appreciated
That's very interesting..
I got the feeling of sadness and pain from the rooms..beauty with darkness.😞
Do you remember what show you saw this on? I would love to see it!
The place has now been burned down.
JP, thank you for finding and exploring this magnificent Beauty!! ❤
I can't imagine all the rooms, furnishings, and such amazing architecture of this place. I love the Stairs, the Stained Glass above the Center of the Staircase! And the Beautiful Little Girls Stained Glass Windows in the one room, the Amazing Shutters that would hide in the wall till they were pulled out. Of course, I can't forget the Pocket Doors and all the Tall Doors and Windows, the Beautiful Ornamentation on the ceiling above the Light, and the Colorful Decorative pieces on some of the Walls, and cannot forget the Beautiful Marble Fireplace Mamtles some very Elaborate, ad well as Beautiful Wood Mirrors, too much to talk about. It's just all so Magnificently done!! It had to be a "Grand Lady" in it early years. This has to be my Favorite so far... Thank you for taking your time, and care with showing us this place. God Bless You! ❤💛❤
You're welcome
I also love the stained glass
I kept feeling like I was looking at a land version of the Titanic with all the ornate fireplaces, thick sturdy railings, and stained glass. Amazing! Thank you for sharing!!
So beautiful....& yet sad. They don’t build them like they used to though. That’s for sure.....I’ll never understand why they let houses like that just slowly rot away.🥺I’m sure because of expenses & what not. But still sad....
What an absolutely amazing find hope they don't knock this place down. Thanks for the tour guys
Absolutely amazing place. The stain glass windows, the ceilings, the fireplaces, doors, and staircase. Wow! So sad to see it falling to disrepair. Glad you documented it before it is gone though. Thank you!
Very sad place indeed. This is the type of place where greedy wealthy men would dump their wives after planning to start a new life and not divorce. Later children were imprisoned from first wife after she expired. Sadly, the world is wicked this way. Peace freedom to all the empty souls left may they move on now. By the way that is lead based paint be careful when it's think peels that way you know. Please don't wear any clothes in home or around children. Thanks for sharing.
It is so sad to see such a grand place left to rot like that. What an amazing place it must have been. Making it into apartments would ok as long as they didn't change the look of the place by removing or adding walls. This is a amazing video, thank you.
This place was the best, the staircase, all the stained glass and intricate designs in the woodwork let alone all the fancy fireplaces throughout the building. Thanks JP. for taking us on an awesome adventure!
Thanks for watching
Wow! The workmanship that was put into that staircase is awesome! When was this mansion built. 1800's..maybe earlier. The Gundry Sanitarium was established in 1891.
It's amazing how fast a house can deteriorate in such a short time..You turn the heat off too a building it's a gonner..Beautiful house😥❤
Just as you were turning into one of the rooms, as always, I wondered what this grand home was like at Christmastime...and there was decorations. Love your enthusiasm!
Enough decorations to do up the whole house lol

Thank you for your amazing videos and I just wanna point out what a beautiful respectful man you are.
Thanks! That was astounding! It never ceases to amaze me that such a beautiful building could fall to this state. You cant help but imagine the lives of those who were kept in those rooms.
Velvet d'Amour I feel like the patients would have been better served in more of a hospital type building, and the magnificent building would have been better served by being filled with visitors touring through it like the castles in Europe!! Charging tourists to tour through and or even staying overnight as guests!! Then that place would have gotten the love and appreciation it needed to not fall in to such decay!! I ALMOST wish I hadn't watched this video because it hurts to see how little love humanity showed it, with all it's grandeur!! The original owners appeared to fill the walls and ceilings and windows with the best of the best of art in stained glass, marble work, wood work of epic portions on the staircase and banisters as well as the grand woodwork around the mirrors that used to hang above the fireplaces, the pocket doors that were originally hard oak (I am sure), all rooms would have originally had crown molding of hard wood around the tops and bottoms (that eventually were ruined by painting over them like they did the pocket doors, there also were most certainly awesome natural wood doors on all bedrooms and entrance/exiting doors! Makes me wonder what kind of people built it originally...were they so rich that they didnt care about it when they no longer wanted to live there, or did they lose their fortune and have to sell it to an "institutional" facility for whatever they could get for it? If only the walls could tell us. I morn for the place, and wonder if it ever got the love that all homes deserve to experience!! I felt like it never did or it wouldnt be decaying in just over a century!! I truly pray that someone reclaims all the beautiful things I mentioned and gives them new life somewhere before they too are just wasted!!
WoW WoW WoW!!!!! What a mansion!!!! Thank you for taking us along on this exciting adventure of such a beautiful place. Most of all thank you for documenting the history of this beauty. It saddens me to see such glorious old history go by the wayside of time, but with your dedicated work, it will live on. The fact that it had gas lights and was one of the first places to have a sprinkler system installed when it was built just blows my mind. The fireplaces were magnificent and the shutters and pocket doors, awesome and so ahead of their time. I'll say it again just WoW WoW WoW!!!
Oh. My gosh!!!!! This is just breath taking. The details and the condition of this beauty is amazing!!! I loveee how attentive you are as well. It was a pleasure watching this!! Amazing work 💝
Thank you marie
Impressive JP. One of the best mansions ever documented. Great work & thanks for sharing
WHAT A MEMORY---I don't have. I meant to comment about those rooms on the third floor with the heavy doors and substantial locks. I suddenly realized, after you'd turned the locking knob, that it was on the *inside* of the door, with the key lock barrel on the outside. I wonder why they were so secure for whoever was inside, not to keep him/her IN, but to keep others OUT? As Pappy used to say, "I don't think I understand what I know about this."
Absolutely stunning, ornate craftsmanship. When pride was taken in building such structures.
The marble fireplaces, the wood on the fireplaces, the stained glass all over, especially the ones with the Victorian girls-beautiful!!!
Oh, to see it in its original splendor, what a treat that would be. My last favorite, the gorgeous weather vane.
Thank you for being so thorough and really taking your time on the smallest detail.
And for your overall respect, right down to the poor kitties.
You're really a neat guy! 💗
Also, love the drone footage.
On another video, I asked how you got your aerial footage. Now I know. 😉
Great video. Wonder why the Historical Society hasn't got involved to restore this Grand Old Mansion? It seems to be around Civil War Era.
@@OwlWhite12 : this was possibly one of the industry giant's "camps"; a place to vacation...
Sure alot of Black Mold
Because that grand old building has a asbestos. It would be impossibly expensive to remove it all. The sprinkler s where in the window cells because they would place candles at the windows.
The historical society would rather no one knew about these old Tartarian buildings. When they were built the people living there were much taller, hence the huge doorways and high ceilings. Then they redid them to look like they were for normal people (our size). They called them sanitariums because they cleaned the people off the land that knew of the old ways and people. Put them where no one would ever see, or talk to them. And if they ever did find someone to talk to the people in charge just say they are crazy, so no one will believe them. After they all die out their truths die out with them. All that is left are these amazing old structures that have been around for ages, begging for someone to find out the truth .
Thare are so many of these structures all over the world, and many governments have tried to destroy them, before people start questioning their origins. But many have been left out in the hinterlands that they thought nobody would find.
Here is another fine example of the amazing craftsmanship that went into building these old beauties. They also say they were built in the late 1880's, but I believe they are built much earlier than this.
@@OneBlueFroggy In the UK most asylums have been demolished and fancy housing estates built on the land. Funny though, they always leave the water towers alone.
Haven't seen abandoned video's in quite awhile. But to my chagrin the first one to come on is one of yours. And you JP NEVER seem to ever disappoint. Your videos are truly the best. I love the respect you have for these old beautiful places. This is so very important for everyone who enjoys visiting these absolute gorgeous buildings. Thanks for the video. I can only imagine while viewing these mansions the beauty they once were glorified with at one time in history. Keep up the awesome videos. I truly enjoy them!!! :)
Thanks Tricia
What a shame such a beauty is falling into disrepair. Why do people think they should vandalize places? So sad the cats were trapped and died. :(
I agree, just wish some places could be saved.
It's very upsetting. That first skeleton looks like a dog from the skull shape and teeth. I really hope people didn't leave the pets trapped in there, but it had to be either that, or they were dragged their by a coyote and killed, or stupid teens sacrificed them etc. There just doesn't seem to be a single positive theory for why those animals are there that I can think of, it's very disturbing.
Someone who's knowledgable should salvage the beautiful mantels, stained glass, woodwork, bannisters IF the place is torn down!!
The architectural structures throughout, the beautiful stained glass, intricate wall, corner, and ceiling colors and details, the magnificent TALL ceilings and mirrors are all way too amazing to actually be found in one location! What an amazing find!!
I'm amazed these beautiful properties end up abandoned! What these walls have seen..... truly amazing.
I would love to hear the stories those walls would tell.
Wow! How sad, I bet this was a truly grand house in its day. Unfortunately, when they get donated as hospitals they are often not kept up and allowed to decay to the point of condemnation.
Agreed. This place should have been kept a home.
OMG! I would love to restore this place! LOVE IT! Best of the best you ever shown us!
Spectacular! I got goose bumps at the end with the music and drone footage. Your videos are spot on. Thank you for the journey and respect.
Thanks so much allison
thank you for this glorious explore. The subtitles of explanations makes it so much interesting and informative. The way you film and explain, I almost feel like I am there. I agree so grand and beautiful! wish there was pictures before it went into disrepair. Look forward to your next explore :)
Thanks for watching
This is the first time I have watched videos on abandoned mansions and I was just getting ready to exit out, because I had been watching them for 2 hours, when I heard you say you were in Maryland and since I live in Maryland, it definitely caught my attention. I can't tell you how surprised I was when you mentioned Gundry's mansion. I grew up just 3 block from the road that Gundry's is on. I remember it well and was so excited to see the "documentary" that you were doing. It was wonderful to see the inside even though it is in such disrepair. I can now imagine how beautiful it was especially with the staircase and the magnificent stained glass at the top along with the many beautiful fireplaces. Thank you so much for doing this video. Just a note: my husband's great aunt and uncle lived on the property that joined the Gundry property. Their house faced the main road that led into the city, which is also the road I lived on. Again, thank you
Thanks for watching and commenting
Absolutely beautiful! Great find JP! Thanks for sharing this piece of history
You're welcome susan
I have watched a lot of abandoned videos and this has got to be the BEST one I have seen. Such good quality filming and the detail he likes is the same detail I like so no skipping forward for me. LOVED every minute of this video! GREATNESS!
Aww renee... thanks so much for the kind words. Nice to know we like the same things.
Great video J.P. - such a cool, humble guy, not egotistical at all.
Some of the features are very English, maybe an English architect.
Poor kitties 🐱
Thanks amanda
Amanda Owen was there more than one kitty? OMG, I hope not!!!
Kat M Yes there was another one a poor tabby cat looked like it had died around the same time as the black cat and they both obviously belonged to someone as they were wearing collars 😢😢
This is probably the biggest building I've ever seen go into. It's a Shame its left to rot.
That's huge ! I bet it was beautiful back in the days. Very sad, it was left to riot. I would love to see it brought back to its glory days.
Wow that place was huge but thank you so much for showing it to us
This is just wild ! I had to watch it twice to try to take it all in ! The craftsmanship is simply amazing. And that massive staircase, too much to mention. I loved it. Any chance you could start a petition to reinstate it to it's former glory? Sad and exciting all at the same time. Sorry for the two kitties. 😒 well , thanks again from Beautiful BC, Canada 🇨🇦
WOW..... Must of been beautiful in its TIME!! The pocket doors are Awesome! Huge....
Love your videos! This is one of the best I've seen! I love that you give history about the property if you're aware of it.
Thanks alicia
That is one side puppy. Awesome video. I have never seen window blinds like those purple ones. That fireplace is beyond awesome. The person that had that mansion built spared no expense. (OMG you just said the same thing) Beautiful touches. Imagine all that wood use to be paint free....
It was a real gem back in the day.
This place was amazing, can't wait to see your video on it!! I have two sets of video clips from there, I'll probably split my half-hour phone clip into two clips, and still not sure what I'm going to do with my camera footage yet.
This is definitely going to be a good one, we spent a lot of time in there filming!!
Awesome!
Just subscribed to you too! 😉👏🏻👏🏻
@@MsDawggysLuckyLife thank you very much and welcome to the channel. I have a passion for anything old, historic, or antique and especially abandoned!!
Also I love to follow and film trains at times.
Thanks again and enjoy😁
I truly appreciate historic things as well..my channel has 50 subscribers lol but I’m sharing when I can. Thank you as I scanned your videos and subscribed and I’ll be going home to watch them. 👊🏻💯😉
@@MsDawggysLuckyLife that's awesome, enjoy. And if you have videos of old or historic stuff I will check out your channel as well. I'm always looking for new channels to watch, and appreciate everything that people take the time to share
Your walkthrough and video were perfect. you treat the viewer as though we were there with you. Thank you so much. Can't wait to see more!
Thanks j
The stairs go up! From Ghostbusters... Awesome explore!! Beautiful house, beautiful architecture.
You got it
:)
Stairs also go down ! Maybe thats a dif movie.
I want a front porch like that one !!! That mansion is truly magnificent.. I would love to see pictures of it when it in it's TRUE glory. I can't get over the wood work on the stairs and fireplaces . Thank you for taking us to places we'd never even known existed .
😊
Kind of makes you wonder why they let places like that go to seed. So much amazing architecture. I hope somebody buries that poor beautiful black cat that passed away.. so sad. :-(
Yes, plzz bury that poor beautiful cat, needs respect...
The kitty no longer cares. I mean it's not going to know if it's buried or not.
@@lianneh.medaugh9768 A cat is not a person. Animals that die are all around us. Nobody buries them all. I mean you would bury your OWN but I think that poor cat got stuck in there.
Asbestos and Lead paint is the primary reason. It would cost a fortune to remove it!!
And this place does not have restless souls and bratty ghost children. Thanks for the talk and the video. I'm so glad you take the time to really check out homes and their beauty and forgotten belongings. You are appreciated.
Your videos just get better & better.
The edits are spot on!
How many hours did the edits take you to complete?
Really cool!
Too many hours, but it was worth it.
Such amazing architecture. A salvager's dream. Thank you for the tour. It is odd that there were two very recently deceased kitties inside 🤷
Poor babies.
Beautiful! Thank you for taking the time to show all of the details of this amazing place! I would much rather watch a video, like yours, that is long but takes the time to show the special aspects of the building than a short one that just rushes through everything. Thank you!
You're welcome stacie
Beautiful home! My heart goes out to the cats...I am such an animal lover.
Those windows are amazing
The decorative pieces you are finding on the walls and the ceilings are known as “frieze” sculpture. The can be carved from stone or cast in plaster. The pieces were once standard in homes of the wealthy and to a lesser extent in upper middle class homes at the turn of the century. My grandmother had some that were made of wood and were lovingly painted by her grandmother.
Thank you for sharing these awesome places with us. I would've loved to explore myself, but am disabled. It's great to go through these places with you on your videos. Something I would never be able to experience if not for you. I appreciate you keeping a level of respect for these otherwise forgotten places.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
Absolutely the nicest place you've explored yet. The woodwork, fireplaces, etc., were amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks diana
A beautiful home and a great find. It never ceases to amaze me that "whoever" allows these places to rot. Loved it all....except for the kitties...poor things. Thanks JP.
Totally freakin' AWESOME!!!!!!! The endless design of this place is mind boggling. 30 years ago I would have attempted refurbishing this place.
What a shame that it no longer exists
I am a firm believer in keeping this historic buildings
I saw the video footage from one of the other explorers who was with you- Jacob. His was great because you get to see other things not seen in yours (really loved his shots of the five buildings next to the manor). His, got annoying after a while because sometimes he moved around too fast and also he just HAD to read out loud every sign and every piece of paper- almost maddening. Still loved his footage but yours was the best- both helped me get a good sense of this place.
That's the whole reason for collaborating at locations. You get to see something different in everyones video. Thanks for watching and commenting.
It's to bad this place wasn't keptup and made into apartments. Sad to see this beauty go.
It is but this is what we live for the natural decay is so epic!!!!
That would have been nice Susan.
We bought a large house that had been divided into four apartments. There was no greater pleasure than bringing it back into a beloved single family home. So many dividers we had to rip out! We still are not certain of the original floor plan and usage. We believe it was built between 1839-41 judging by the price jump on the deeds.
Beautiful mansion even with some decay - it should be preserved not left to rot !
I was impressed with the wood railings and the old gaslights .
Thank you for sharing this awesome video 👍💕
Amazing drone footage, especially paired with the music. I loved seeing this glorious house!
Wow, this is absolutely one of my favorite videos. It is interesting, yet sad to see the condition of what was once a beautiful home, hospital, asylum. Love the drone footage and the accompanying music. Not sure I would be as bold as you and the gang in some of those rooms, but then there is safety in numbers. Thank you for sharing.
This was a great location, inside and out.
I absolutely love the architecture of this place. Truly amazing!
One of the best ive seen.
Amazing and fascinating! I like how you’re always so respectful of the places you go. Thank you!
Stained glass and a wrap around porch, this is stunning!!! 😍
Heck of a find. Top 3 best mansions for me.
It is pretty awesome
I love wrap a round porches. They're the best
The picture before it's decay was beautiful. It's just sickening awful the way it looks now, but that won't stop me from watching👍👍🤗thanks for sharing JP!!
Thanks jane
I bet in its day the house and grounds were absolutely stunning!!! Thank you for the tour, very interesting!!
I love the outside stone work. I saw what looked like a drive in area for an ambulance in the back. Love the inside brick walls and floor. Basement was cool. You pass up much of the architectural foundation of the property. It speaks of the age, and how homes and structures were built with great integrity. Not cheap like today’s standards. Fireplace was just amazing.
nice video..it's a real wonder why people let things go so long, I guess maybe there was nobody left in the family that wanted to do anything with this beautiful place.
Your videos are just wonderful. You sincerely have a passion for these old places... not just trying to get likes. And that makes your explorations the absolute best. So fun when you get excited and jazzed about the details! Thank you SO much for giving these old beautiful buildings so much love.
Glad you enjoy them
This was a beautiful mansion created with quality materials.
I hope, if it must be demolished, that it will be re claimed by people who know the value of it's parts.
Thanks,
Rik Spector
It was a thumbs up! :)
It takes a lot of skill and patience to dismantle some of the details in a place such as this.Hope they are able to save the stained glass and fireplace surrounds,as well as the moldings and woodwork.
Build 1702
Really love the close ups of the wood work and the marble fireplaces. Drone footage was cool too! Thanks to you and the rest of the explorers!
Thanks for watching
I am currently going through chemo and radiation for cancer,,these videos make my downtime more tolerable. I can't thank you enough for the quality of all your videos!💖
What a great find well have to watch this more than once to catch it all . Thanks for sharing.
Wow. This one by far is my favorite. So much work went into this house and why was it left to rot? So glad it wasn’t graffitied. Love those built-in shutters. Thanks for going in and documenting Jay and co.
...well not too much graffiti
Thanks for checking it out
Thank you so much for telling the story of a place and giving it, it's dignity and respect back, even if just for a little while. So, thank you! Whatta shame! This is where a state drops the ball, by not funding the upkeep of its mist historical places and just leaving them to rot, very frustrating and disrespectful!
Absolutely wonderful! I'm from that area & did a bit of (ruined homes) exploring as a teen, but never saw woodwork that glorious. If not restoreable, sure hope someone who knows what they're doing goes in & salvages the place. Thank-you JP! (Nice drone work!)
Glad you enjoyed it
I was surprised to see the Holly Hobby doll, had Holly Hobby stationary in the 1970s. Thank you for the video!
Poor Cat, that's heartbreaking 😢 💔 😞 you should have looked for a tag on the collar. The owner would want to know. Not knowing is worse.
Beautiful Victorian colored, decorative stain glass windows were popular from 1840-1870 and by the 1890's clear etched or clear stained glass windows became the vogue. I would date these stain glass windows around 1860 and quite unique and decorative.
I agree. I don't think those gas lines were original either. The room with those pipes over the much later added dropped ceiling, those pipes would never have been run that way by such architectural artists.
I love the details you shown us in this find. Love your video's keep up the great work!
Did you guys check the collar of the dead cat to see if there's a tag with an owners number? Poor thing 😔
But also, such a cool building!
We didnt check. We arent the first ones to discover it as someone put flowers around them.
@@JPVideos81 unless it was some sicko that killed them .. you know what they say about serial killers as kids
I would of looked at the collar for a tag to see if there was the owners number, poor fur baby RIP
The cloth doll you found was Holly Hobbie. Very popular with girls in the 70's/80's. I had the same one. They made Holly Hobbie everything for awhile...sheets, calendars, plates, books, etc. It was kinda sad seeing the doll. Made me think of the young girls that had to stay there away from their families. Hopefully it brought some happiness to someone. Enjoyed the explore...what a spectacular location! Thanks for what you do.
Would love to meet you in Gatlinburg. Message me on fb or email me. Links are in description.
These built-in shutters amazing I always wanted interior shutters when I owned a home
12:58 INCORRECT! The proper term is "Dutch door" in America. They're only called 'stable doors' in England.
Wow how beautiful outside photo. Would love to have seen photos of when was first built !
Me too!
I love the memorial you made for the cat with the flowers. Y'all did such a great job with this video. You can tell so much about the age of a place by two things (1) number of fireplaces and (2) lack of closets. This house at one time would've had a chifferobe in every room and would've been heated only by those fireplaces. It was a beloved home in it's beginning. I hope that it can still be restored. Thanks guys and gal.
The flowers around the cats were there long before these guys visited. Dan Bell visited this location a while back and noted the dead cats with the flowers.
@@Harkwit That must've been some dead cat to have kept from decomposing in that period of time. Maybe it was a fake dead cat. Fake flowers too.
Robin Beard Dan found them April 27th, so not too long. Stuff doesn’t decompose that fast when not exposed to the elements either. These are in a relatively dry house with no outside carrions, or masses of bugs. The cats are probably very stiff, but they won’t necessarily become zombie-looking for a good while.
Dan also confirmed that the flowers are plastic.
@@Harkwit Thanks for the info
Oldis good You oughta check out dan bell’s coverage of this place, there was a lot more creepy stuff going on than we realize!
Hey JpVideos.... that breaks my heart!!! you could check the cat's collar and can you contact the vet and who owned the cat for chip and let the owner know where is the cat at?? should they take the cat out of the house and bury it in the ground and what better for them to memory!. Also what so beautiful mansion building around the house and what amazing all the way to top from bottom!. I love your shows what is many things like fireplaces and doors like that. I wonder what can you tell me if they put the auction or sell the house or real bad condition around the house? I gave you Two thump up and Keep going!.
that is totally badass. i do the same thing, explore abandon places. i love what you have done here man, preservation of the past. there may not be actual ghosts in there, but the ghosts of the past call out to us who feel and beckon us to help keep their memories alive. thank you so much brother.
Thanks for checking it out
This mansion is an architectural masterpiece. Thanks to you it will never be forgotten. As for the stained glass, If the name Louis Comfort Tiffany appears, especially on the large skylight, there you have a small fortune. Many times skylights were covered up for various reasons. Then during restoration rediscovered with the Tiffany signature. Nevertheless, an outstanding example of American craftsmanship.
The stain glass, fold out shutters and the the weather vane . Topping this beautiful mansion. Loved it. Thank you , great tour.
