I was in this house years ago when I worked for the lady who owned it at that time. It was such a beautiful place. I still try to get a look at it when I drive past. My favorite room was the circular one with the painted ceiling. I and the handful of other visitors were given a tour and served dinner. If I remember correctly, I think that our table for dinner was set up in the little yellow room with green trim. I remember it as an enchanted place.
🤔 Wow interesting piece of information…. You probably know what that last room outside was used for and how long ago it was last inhabited … hope you are willing to share?
@@brucebeamon5460I’m not sure. There was an outbuilding we were told had originally been a stable, but we weren’t shown the interior, so I don’t know if that was the building. I think I heard it had burned down, so it was probably a different building. It’s possible they used it as a chapel, but I’d be guessing. It was inhabited about 20- some years ago, maybe close to 30. My son is 27, and I think he was little when I was there.
Lovely Spanish revival gem. It deserves a qualified restoration architect. Whomever takes this project must be prepared to write a check north of several million to do right. Thanks for the tour, Rick.
What a fantastic place! I pray that someone will care enough to preserve this house. Historic homes, especially in the US, are very few and far between. You kept asking why would they do that and I kept echoing...because he could! Thanks for the wonderful explore.
That was a beautiful place and could be again with the proper planning and finances! The artwork was beyond splendid and madness at the same time! For the most part it still looks restorable. Not much vandalism more just natural decay.
Wish you had the history of the house/ family before you filmed. I heard you say it was coming, but it's easier to relate when you have the story behind it - you do a part 2, I will definitely tune in!
Hi Rick, heads up on your findings of old places like this with such detailing and beautiful architecture and high ceilings said to be built in the 1800’s. I think this place was Founded, like so many others around the world. These belong to a Civilization before ours. They were very intelligent and used sacred geometry in many of the buildings that are still standing today. Our History is His Story, not ours. It’s an amazing trip finding our truth.
I did some work for the listing agent back in 2016. That outside room in the back with the collapsed roof was a chapel. Those things you thought were for storage were for confession if I'm not mistaken. Beautiful home. Sad that no one has revived it. Would be a beautiful venue even if someone didn't want to make a home out of it.
The driveway to the house, I could see a horse and buggy traveling down this road going to the house, back in the day! They probably didn't think anything of it, just the route you had to follow --but so pretty!
AMAZING place, so sad it isn’t being saved. What a loss of art, history, never to be seen, loved, again😢 Thank you for documenting this one of kind home.
Just Beautiful! Such detail, the Tiles - Italian maybe? And, the antique, hand painted windows are exquisite! BTW, the round Coke bottle glass, are called Roundels & are hand blown! In today's market rare originals such as those would be very costly! You just can't say enough about this house! Thanks so much for sharing - Think I'm in Love!! 😂😍
wow crazy thing is that the pink flower growing out of the wall 32:57 was one of my favorite parts of the decay taking over but the whole place is a Dimond in the rough
It would be so cool to be able to see pictures of the original furniture and owners in the house, just have to try to imagine. So cool, love the historic structures!
Shame it's been left. I don't know if anyone else noticed but a few times I heard a voice agreeing with Rick, man's voice. Great find thank you for sharing.
This was the first video of yours for me. This place is, by far, the most beautiful abandoned property I’ve seen to date. Rick, I really enjoyed your tour style and your voice. Subbed. Thanks!
Love your voice. The bath rooms were too dark for me. I loved the peacock. I also loved the large wood archway ❤ (McDonalds). I was very surprised that tha kitchen was simple. I've seen homes that had trees linning both sides of a drive. Love❤,Love❤,Love❤. Thanks for the tour. Stay safe,God Bless, Happy New Year.
Several years ago I crocheted a bed afgan: white squares with medium brown strip criss-crossing between each square, and cro heyed a cluster of grapes with leaves and stitched those into each square, so it looks like a Grape vine that grew on a trellis. It's my masterpiece masterpiece. I like purple Grape themes in various kinds of art.
The courtyard was a carriage house… doors and walkway were built wide enough to drive carriages right up to the door for guests to enter the home easily. I looked up this piece of information through the Richard Cawood home website. It must have been a tourist museum for a little while.
at the time 14:52 you say "thats a cool looking clock thats for sure" then theres a voice that said "yes" in agreement to the compliment you gave about the clock. whos voice was that? That home is absolutely fascinating, I love all the colorful artistries, the tile work in the bathrooms, the tiles with printing on them are all imported custom hand painted, individually fired and glazed porcelain tiles.. That last room that is missing the roof I believe it to be a dining banquet room/ballroom and those side cabinets would have been table and chair storage to open the floor for guests to dance and mingle.
Places like this can be renovated and turned in to B&B's as well as event venues. This sort of architecture simply is not created today. It should be preserved.
DUDE! anyone hear the EVP right when he’s leaving the basement it happens at 17:58 . It’s a brief exhale or it says a word. Maybe GO! but it’s independent of him bc he’s talking. Someone CHECK IT OUT AND LET ME KNOW IF IM CRAZY! Start playing at 17:55 and listen close at 17:58.
You're brave! It would be all fun, games and exploration until I heard a creak, LOL. Such a shame it is left to ruin. I am so glad it has not been ransacked or graffitied. What is the story as to why it has not been restored? What state is this in?
It was a fairly big deal when this house was for sale in 2016. I suppose we can assume the buyer underestimated the cost of restoration? What a shame to see a beautiful Italian villa like this one fall into such decay.
BTW Rick the rats love to hide in vines. Thanks for this spectacular exploration of a stunning mansion. I want to know what is in the locked door room. The grapevines...maybe they wanted an Italian vibe. Italian villa
She was for sale in 2016. March if my memory serves. I drove over 6 hours for the open house. The mysterious locked room was locked then & the realtors "had no info" on it & no key. In the side entrance off the kitchen there is a hidden "door" that houses most of the wiring for the house. The dining room had beautiful hardwood floors. There was a plate glass window behind the elevator on the 2nd floor that someone broke out that day. The back portion of the house used to be a 2 story veranda decades ago. Hence the medieval looking castle door, as well as the arched "windows", pillars, & brick floor. The roof is completely missing from the veranda that connects the porto cochere & the Chapel. Yes, it's a chapel. It was intact in 2016, roof & all. To the right of the fireplace was a coat closet, to the left a small restroom. On the outside of the entrance to the Chapel was a beautiful depiction of the Last Supper. Under the still beautiful Mary was the the stoup for Holy Water. There is an apartment above the garage, 2 bed as I recall. In the house, every radiator was covered with a radiator screen & each screen had a scene or item on its face that was indicative to each room & its function (I.E. the dining room radiator covers had a basket of fruit on one side & a basket of bread on the other). As you said, every detail from the luxurious bathroom fixtures to hand painted doors & ceilings, from the iron work to stained glass & beautifully carved beams, from the fireplace to the gardens, & on & on was thought of. The house sold that weekend, so I'm very disheartened that she has been left to nature.
What a fantastic house; it must have looked very impressive when it was first built. That last building you were in was a Chapel and those two rooms on either side of the fireplace were confessionals. I really loved seeing this house; I do have to say though I was not impressed with your skills at filming. You jump around making it hard to get the layout of the house and you sweep too fast; slow down.
Wow, what a unique and beautiful space! This house truly reflects the architectual detail and artisanship of a by gone era. Unique and inspiring and I truly enjoyed your video. PS: What state is this property located?
No reason for any of this? ??? The reason was because he wanted it and could afford it! 🙄. Errrggg! That locked, bolted door up stairs is the elevator MEDITERRANEAN STYLE HOUSE DUDE! ❤
Could that outdoor room have been a chapel & perhaps the small wooden rooms, confessionals? Many old estates had them just for family - Just a thought... 7:37 pm
You should have looked a little longer. Houses like that one tend to have hidden doors to secret rooms. That looks like the kind of house that would have hidden treasure behind the wall. I would love doing stuff like this, but I would want to take the treasures that I find😁. Don't you ever get in trouble with the police for going into these homes, or do you get permission beforehand?
Hey, Rick, were you by yourself here? I only ask because there are a few times in the video when I can hear a distinctly different voice say something. It's never more than a word or two, but it is very clear when it happens.
Man, you could use a class in architecture history. There are so many things that you either improperly name and so many things about houses were constructed then. I love seeing the houses and appreciate your work very much though!
They still create 3 tears chandeliers bigger than that. lighting stores. Here in Connecticut there's a special store for custom made she and a layer single in the walls ceilings. I bought a pair on Amazon and had plugs putting them so I can plug them anywhere's in the house I want.You'd be surprised all the designs they make chandeliers from victorian days to modern times. They can even add plugs so you can take them when you leave. Again I learned all this stuff from flipping houses. Restoration. I bought a couple of shoes in a Tag sale And had plugs put on so I could put it anywhere in the house I want.
I was checking the comments to see if anyone else heard this and then i saw your comment. Kinda creepy if you ask me haha. i wonder if Rick noticed this too. ( at 30:29 you hear another yes.)
@@VampiweenI replayed that part, and I heard it too...and I stopped watching after I heard it not because I don't like the content, I'm afraid I might notice something else on the video, yeah it's absolutely creepy.
From the looks of it that may have been a chapel where the roof caved in. It feels like a place of worship and you said the owner’s funeral was in that house maybe it was in the chapel.
Dont do it, the vines find their way into cracks and crevices and will ruin the structure, not always but mostly. Thats why my house doesnt have them. I was talked out of it bectof that
🌸Jaecy from California here… does anyone know what The Liverpool Historical Society is doing w/ this property ? If it’s being Sold and if so… how much ? I don’t live anywhere near there, but I would Hope that the would restore it for tours like Hearst Castle 🥳🎉

It seems like it’s Rick saying ‘yes’ assuming it occurred during his editing process.
No , it was a family chapel , no ball room with saint Mary and Jesus !!! Just think about that , those wooden boxes were for confessions !!!
E Liverpool was known for their pottery. I wonder if the tile was made locally
Places like this can be renovated and turned in to B&B's as well as event venues. This sort of architecture simply is not created today. It should be preserved.
It was magical. Wish i could save it.
The 20s painted tiles, the stained glass windows beautiful.

Me, that mansion is really haunted, me and a couple of my friends went and explored it, it’s freaking terrifying in there, but so so beautiful
Tiles on the ceiling in the upstairs bathroom? WOW! Never seen that before! Opulence seems to be the name of the game!

Ahhhh good catch . I never thought of that .
Vines on a house can cause bugs and mildew in the house .
That door had heavy lock on it, probably the elevator entrance
The last house in the courtyard with the Stained glass , Jesus carving above the door and the Mary statue has all the hallmarks of a Chapel.
It’s a shame that the treasures here couldn’t be auctioned or repurposed so the beauty could be enjoyed by several people.
Vines growing on walls are not an asset. They take over and rot the wood underneath
Ya unfortunately
How did you get in?
Wondering the same thing. You ever find out? I haven't tried yet but I live 20 min away.
How did you get inside?
It was open
Black n white tile in the entry way……..
what a creepy looking house
Marble tile entry
That chandelier in the entry is not original to the house and isn’t even an antique fixture; however everything else is spectacular!
10 min mark the darn battfield 1 song haha
Broooooo
Dont do it, the vines find their way into cracks and crevices and will ruin the structure, not always but mostly. Thats why my house doesnt have them. I was talked out of it bectof that
As beautiful as they are I agree unfortunately.
This place is really, really nice architecture,I'd just like to know why all of these beautiful houses are not lived in? Do they ever tell you??
Elevator?
I was watching a programme about celebrities who can't sell their mansions in America
Unless that creeper is taken off the walls, that house will decay very quickly, give it year at most.
The vines may look good but they totally can destroy a building if not kept
Jmmy 500👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
It was the slave qw
Those are window weights, to open and close
What happened to him
The bolted door could be the elevator
I have no idea but I'm curious now.
❤❤❤❤❤
That chandelier at the beginning has led bulbs in it. I'm just now watching but it must not have been abandoned for that long?
I think the property may have a caretaker that comes by every so often, but it doesn't have power which doesn't make any sense to change the bulbs. 💡
@@RangerRickTV yeah probably. I also seen one of those spiral type bulbs. Always disliked those lol. Thanks for the reply.
That Spanish style roof is definitely a one off style of roof that is expensive 💸 to fix or replace the whole thing
Ya I forgot to mention Spanish style. But yes very much Spanish.
@@RangerRickTV the thing is why some one has not bought it and fixed it up that is a nice looking place to get and live in
💞
I'm so disappointed. That kitchen does not reflect the rest of the mansion.
It looks more modern.
