- Exploring Abandoned 1700s House
Built in the late 1700s, this colonial stone farm house sits vacant, wide open, and left to decay. Vandals have entered the home tagging every room. Not much history was found on this home, but what I could find is the home is dated 1789. Of course, additions were added onto this home as the years went on. Exploring this house was kind of neat. It seemed like a maze with how rooms were connected. Sad to see it in this condition. Also on the property was a small storage shed and another building which looked to be used as more storage, possibly a studio. Thanks for watching everyone!

Such a beautiful home,but i hate having to see the immature spray paint running everything historical and full of memories
i agree. Not sure why they deface property like that.
Lack of respect and parenting
true
The little scumbags should be made to clean it all off with their tongues.
There should be massive spray paint tax.
Yeah, its annoying when vandals spray paint everything..

+Jan Filbeck I almost cried when I saw how they had defaced those amazing 18th century stones.

I hope you got my other response about the historical farms! If not ask me again!
Jan Filbeck I did get it. Thanks for the information!
Some of these videos make me super angry. Why hasn't some historical society snapped this home and turned it into a working museum? It's in beautiful condition for it's age.
I agree. I get angry when I show up. Makes no sense
HearthCricket maybe…put less…ellipses next…time?
@HearthCricket Just because something doesn't look 18th century doesn't mean it isn't. People then are the same as today and when something was out dated or taken over by a new owner they expand and renovate, it doesn't necessarily get frozen at the time of its build. It could have gotten a face lift in the 1850's and therefore looks 19th century. But if you look closely enough you can see 18th century construction; the windows are deep set meaning that the walls are thick (maybe about 2 and a half feet) and there are a few plank doors that still have thumb-latches on them instead of door knobs and the supporting 'beams' he pointed put were not barked or hewn or planed, they were whole trees as he said, all those things are signs of an early house. You would also have to take into account the history of the area, if we know people settled the area in the 18 century that also stacks the cards for it being so. At the very least it's a very early 19th century house if it is indeed early which seems the case.
This is such a shame, can't someone do something to save this beautiful historical home? I mean it looks like it's not to late to restore this wonderful place! Shame on the County or township for not trying to do something, someone owns this! And those vandals make me sick! No respect at all! What a beautiful piece of History!
So sad that vandals had to tag all the rooms. I would have loved to have lived in such a place. I love old colonial buildings and have often wondered what it would have been like to live in such a house. The tales that home could tell if it could talk! I'm always saddened when such a beautiful house is abandoned and left to decay.
+Nora Dennis I agree. Thanks for watching Nora
I wonder if vandals ever grow up and look back and think, "Was I a moron, or what?"
+roxyfur i sure hope so!
Yes some do...
Yes, many of them do. I keyed a car once when I was a teenager, and I've felt guilty about it . I still think about that and feel disgusted that I would do such a thing.
Many of them end up dead or in jail with graffiti on their skin before such thoughts ever cross their minds
When vandals aren't vandalizing I wonder what the rest of their loser lives are like. Hard to imagine such people having good jobs or much of a future unless some big changes take place. People of that ilk don't realize that when they deface history they're showing disrespect for themselves. Oh, wait a minute: they probably don't have any self-respect to start with. Wouldn't it be interesting to see how the vandals would react if their homes were vandalized.... Those little curving stairways had such small steps; I was thinking that you might have to use a certain foot when you start up or down or else be off-balance or unable to use the stairs at all. Your description below of the staircases as "tight" is an excellent word choice.
+Andrew Brendan very well worded. I completely agree!
+Andrew Brendan There should be stiffer penalties for vandalism in this country.
+Scar Face Some very worthwhile points you've made here. When I see graffiti it looks to me like an expression of inner trouble. At the same time how do you know if I do or don't help people? Are you possibly judging me?
Correct. I do see how I might come across as harsh. I actually am not. I want the best for people and, without going into detail, I prove it by my actions, efforts, relationships and responses to events. What I am is frustrated and exasperated with and angered by people who show so such disrespect, who do things that add ugliness to the world and add nothing good to it. Plenty of people have had a tough time of it and don't do such things as shown in this video. Too some people are just plain mean, nasty and uncaring and are unworthy of respect. I don't understand how people can perform acts of vandalism that can do them no good or give any satisfaction yet keep on doing it.
+Scar Face do you know what? There is never an excuse for vandalism. A lot of kids have a shitty childhood but still don't destroy other peoples property. It's all about having an active brain or not. Vandals don't.
Great find . Very Interesting . Way to cool a house to just let go .I could see a mid 1800s design on the house exterior with that goth gable .
+Abandoned NorthJersey Gotta like that coffin/casket door up top. Maybe I might be wrong on that being a door, but it sure looked like it to me. We don't have that style up here in Ontario Canada much.
+alibabafurball I think even that famous painting with a farmer with a pitchfork has a house like that with a goth window .90 some odd percent of all old housing stock in my town has had window replacement in last 10 years or so .
This place, would in a better world, be a museum. It shows what early americans were able to do with their hearts and hands. The grandness of the woodwork cannot be accomplished easily today. It was very well made and has great historical value to our country, And it is allowed to sit and rot like that. It has not rot like other houses would, though. It was made that well! We need more culture and museums and the like. Why let vandals trash the place? The government is broke, it has too many obligations to make this house a tiny museum. What will we show future generations? Sad, in Norway they have full villages of houses constructed extremely well from hundreds of years ago. We need to do something.
+Tiffany Houchin Sometimes in North America they built grand houses in places that are now so sought after they offer the landowner a lot of money to move. Also I have just recently saw a house get to the point it had to be torn down, due to a family fight over ownership. The house was built in 1879 and was at one time where the head of the church beside it resided. It was a twenty year dispute and the place got so bad they had to tear it down, sad they couldn't get it together. Lots of things can contribute to the death of a house.
Sad. In the end everybody loses.
Wood was *much* better quality in the old days before modern "forest farming".
Such a shame it's rotting away! If I owned it I'd preserve it for future generations.
who will start the bidding!!!!!!!!!! this house is a real treasure
+jmarylastone Yes it is! At least someone could buy it and restore it as a museum, if not, at least someone live in it!
+Kat Henderson i agree still awesome house and still livable .. what a adorable house
+Kat Henderson I would salvage all the wood. Maybe not the trees in the cellar, tho!
only part of this house i want is the stones part . not the wood.
+Susan G A. I'll gladly take the wood off of your hands!
How cool this house was. Pretty sad when children vandalizing and ruining these treasures, long forgotten. Who decided that using spray paint to destroy beautiful things was "cool?" Children that's who, because I would like to think an adult wouldn't do that?
Rebels destroy. There is no age limit.
+Znander Pertander it's also sad, considering the "grown ups" need to be sincere and take responsibility for
themselves.
Yes, blame it all on children. As if adults have never done anything irresponsible in their lives. Not only was this comment very prejudiced, but it was *irresponsible.*
@@1967buickriviera shut up shrek you don't exist in this universe anymore..
Pulling out my checkbook now .. Who do I make this out to? Say this is my dream house is an understatement.
Look at the thickness of those outside walls! Amazing.
So much history left to rot. I wonder why?
+kardro1 it is terrible!
+Abandoned Steve (Historical - Urbex) - Just life. :-)
The people that owned it probably just didn’t have enough family to those care of it. And some people just don't care enough.
Dang that's old. The White House wasn't even finished yet
+SRCVintage Electronics That is a brilliant observation about the house in the video and the White House. I'm very interested in the history of the White House and have several books about it. Your words have really put this house in the video into its context in American history.
Thank you! I read in a textbook that the white house was finished in 1890 and George Washington oversaw the construction but never lived in it
+Andrew Brendan I am sorry Canadians went and burnt the White House, but to be quite frank it was pink and sort of wouldn't go over well now. Well you never know maybe it might go over well, but the pastel colors inside would just look horrible in this day and age lol.
Update: I re read the textbook and I found out that it was actually started in 1892
+SRCVintage Electronics Red coats from BNA burned the White House down in the war of 1812. That is a long time for the rebuild but it shows it is worth it. When I was shown around they have an original corner block that still bears the scars of the fire. Imagine trying to build the building in that manner now how long it would take, or even if you could find the quality craftsmanship to build it.
I wish someone would buy it and fix it up, its a shame to see it so run down.... my parents live in a 1800s home so beautiful!
love to get the spray can monsters and watch them clean it up,,,,nice video
+David Frobel Thanks David
House in good condition just takes a little bit of love and care.
Sad that people have to graffiti old historical places . Such beauty when the world takes over old structures.
+jared jackson I agree. Not sure what goes through their heads
Fantastic job once again Steve. I've only discovered your videos a few weeks ago. Enjoy them. I've looked at other videos by other people and I must say yours are the most tasteful. I've been blessed to live in many older homes, my favorite being a brick used in the underground railroad, built in 1824. I loved the thickness of the walls and windowsills. Another Victorian I lived in had the servants' staircase as well, leading from the dining room up to the second level.
Godspeed.
+Chrissy Lee Brown Thank you so much for the kind comment. Glad you enjoy my videos!
I can't believe no one wants to save such a beautiful house. Great video
+Sarah Black Thank you
Excellent Host! The house appears a well built and generally maintained property.
It has vast potential and I hope it attracts a buyer that can care for it as it deserves.
It's an appealing design exterior and interior.
what a shame none cared to preserve this gem. Thanks
Thank you , Steve. These are amazing places to see.
+Flat FlatSpin your welcome. Thanks for watching
That was a great house . Steve I just live your work,thanks for sharing
+Heather Weston Thanks Heather
I love this house. It's in great shape - someone loved it once. Wonderful old house.
Love the timbers, very cool house.
What a cool place and it's just a shame that it's going to waste! Great video Steve!
Excellent Video. Cool house That Stone oven was unusual. Must have been a family that liked there Pizza pies. Thanks for posting.
+AbandonedSC Thanks Jason. I believe they called it a Beehive oven. Pretty common in this area on historical homes
Nice yard love the singing birds
What a beauty!! Actually does not look that bad as far as someone fixing it up, Some floor work/polishing up and paint. Thank you for sharing.
+Bamby S I agree the house is in good shape from some of the ones I use to go in
:o)
Looks like someone was trying to restore it. Alot of the paint that isn't graffiti still looks good and in that huge room, the fans and the windows seem to be new. Too bad they didn't finish. Be nice to see it saved while it's still salvageable.
Wow, I really liked this one! The house was so rustic and the rooms looked very large. Too bad the vandals had to do their dirty work in it! Makes me want to take a can of paint...well I won't say what I'd like to do with it! It's just so senseless to do that to a beautiful old home!! Those butler stairs scare me. Would be a quick trip down for me! Enjoyed this one very much!! Thanks for sharing & Take Care!! :)
+Teala Powell It is a beautiful house
Just FYI, the construction method of using large rough tree trunk beams was used for a LONG time. My house was built in 1923 (Ontario Canada) and it has identical construction for the first floor (logs/beams/diagonal bard board subfloor).
My house is from the mid 1800's and has the full timbers with the bark also, so I agree, it must have been used for a long time.
+sooth15 I too live in Ontario and they used logs for a long time here. My buddy's house is pre 1866 and has the originals still in place, even after it was moved in the 1960's and the 2 rows of logs on the bottom were tossed. It now has a full basement instead of a cold cellar with access through the door in the center of the floor. There was 3 rows of logs on limestone block then the log joists. It gave a crawl space and was probably filled with straw in the winter under the floor. The original cold cellar is still in place up the road about 2 km away as well as some blocks of foundation. No steps
Beautiful house...so sad!. Great video.
+Alex Alí Thank You Alex
amazingly well built house withstood centuries.
What a lovely old house going to waste, Its a shame . Thanks for showing it.
+Ernest Johnson Your welcome. Thanks for watching :)
awesome find.
Great video Steve:)
+Pink Rose Thank You
What a beautiful find!! Would love to have this and fix it up and I mean fix it up. Vandal jerks! I agree, that they must not have enough to do. They should all live on a farm and then they'd have enough to do. No wonder people learned respect back in the days, when there were so many farms! Thank you for this!
It still has potential to be beautiful again! Great video!
Thank you
wow, what a beautiful home that could make for someone. makes for a nice fixer upper! Love your videos.
+Sheri Ward Thank You Sheri!
I really enjoyed much this one and i will explain all the reasons why . Everytime when i can find an abandoned house i also to explore every corner !
+sergio peres Yes this house was really cool. The layout was neat!
+Abandoned Steve (Historical - Urbex) By the way , have you ever known my channel ? I would like to invite you to do it .
I would love to buy this historic piece of property! I'd restore it and move right in!
So sad! Beautiful home.
Im amazed and shocked when i see inside House's. You see all the history, behavior, sanity, maintenance and so on. Shock shock shock.
Looks like that old foundation and basement were beyond repair - for the fifth or sixth time. The floor joists were probably the only thing left that's original. I doubt the stone exterior is even the original. A good clue is the maze-like interior.
Good video as always.
wow!what a beautiful home,and it still could be. I hate to see the vandalism in there,people have no respect. the flooring is still in good shape. and how big it is inside is unbelievable. awesome video steve, 10 thumbs up on this one.thank you for sharing.
+Veronica Morgan Thank so much. Glad you enjoyed it
The house is in surprisingly good shape.
Thank you Steve.
+SandyzSerious Your welcome!
gorgeous inside
This is just beautiful!! Everything about this house is just amazing. I wish so bad that they would just give these houses away if someone would be willing to fix it up. So sad to let it just go to waste! :(. I also love how you don't talk through out the whole thing! Love it ! New subscriber
This was amazing Steve! They don't make them like that anymore! What a beautiful house with an awesome setting! Too bad about the damned taggers! No respect for nothing! Thanks for taking us along!
+licks n kicks Thank you and you are very well correct!
As a stone mason here in N.C., it's especially sad to see a stone house empty..lots of work t place those stone back in the 1700's.. Man if you could ever get a quick tour of the rock work, this subscriber would be appreciative..
+John Hoyle I will keep that in mind for my next one!
Welcome back Steve. 3:11 what a Big adorable add on room love the ceiling whole house A-1 . I'm so surprised no one claim it yet . . Wish i could. great video Steve.......WAS YOU ALONE? '' 4:08 i heard a kid/older person there.''
Must have been a really nice home at one time. Love the brick oven. Bread baked in there would be excellent.
+darlene bailey Those old style kitchens are great to see
gotta be haunted.......
And it creepy 😨😨
Pretty area I must indeed say.
Wow, nice find! What a shame vandals got a hold of it. Thanks for the adventure Steve
+jim ogle Thanks Jim
oh my what a lovely house it must have been those good old days.. most attractive place is those narrow stairways.. I feel so sorry for the the poor butler and the people who had to carry stuff up and down those stairways.. why in the world would any one build them so narrow.. i bet all the people who work in that house must be pretty thin to climb up and down in them.. do you have any idea why they abandoned such a lovely place? and what that sound that comes like a drum rolling ? Im glad this time you didn't go alone.. its looks pretty dark and spooky in there, specially the attic.. great house... great history it must have had.. unfortunately the story of this house has come to an end unless some one rescue and restore it..
+asankaw1 yes I know. I could only imagine the amount of people who fell down those stairs
It’s nice that someone took even a little action and covered the windows
I'm in love!
What an amazing find!!!!!!!!! So we'll-built and maintained that I would love to purchase it... Wouldn't take much (mostly removal of moronic 'tags'), and it would be completely ready to move in! I'm very curious as to how the meter was still running...
What great coverage of a once-beautiful historic home. Too bad those taggers couldn't be caught, then made to clean up their 'artwork'. Nearby where I live, a number of homes were expropriated for a toll highway - as soon as the owners moved out, the vandals moved in.
Those beams (trees) in the basement were really impressive, as was the rest of the home - Thank you for sharing this one - amazing photography and - beautiful photos at the end.
+Meg Simpson Thank You!
I appreciated the way you tried to capture some details without to much of that very unfortunate vandalism. Great job
+Rodney King Thank you!
This old house is a gem. I've seen houses in europe and this one I'd buy if I could afford it.
That is so cool I would love to restore it to its former glory and live in it . It is so sad to see vandalism in this beautiful bit of history
this is my favorite house that I seen on your channel so far. Its disappointing to see all the graffiti, but I feel that it's just a marker of time. there are so many vandals and graffiti artists, that it just becomes part of the aging process for the structure. its amazing to see the layers of time in this house. (the basement with the tree trunks, the newer addition to the house, and then the graffiti.)
+Tessa Smith Thank you. I rank this house second. My all time favorite is the 1818 house. It on my channel if you have not seen it
what was that pot that you built a fire underneath?...i couldn't figure it out, whether it was for washing clothes, or boiling to make sugar/maple or something? At 4:04 & 4:12?
good job!
Thank you
It looks like someone had attempted to start a remodel on this place then stopped. Newer electrical in some spot in the house. that Meter is digital and looks pretty new. And some if the electrical in the basement looked pretty new. almost like it was installed yesterday. haha
This house is beautiful, I would love to see it with some renovation .
Great old house! I'd love to own it and restore it. I'd add a few modern convinces, that would be hidden away from sight.
Look at all that ornate gingerbread that vandals just messed up...Some of the features look like they were added later, and the rest, of course, was done for modern-day habitation...Looks like a well-built house, tree trunk beams and all...I like the second tight winding staircase in the back which were usually present in houses built back in those times...It would cost you a small fortune to even attempt to construct a structure like that today...Sad...
So beautiful of a old house to see! To bad it had to be spray painted by people who do not respect others belongings and property ! really love getting tours through these places on your channel & others who take the time to document these fine old structures for future generations to see & enjoy learning about how people lived in our past! Thanks for sharing as always a great video!
+Lynn Moore Thanks so much Lynn for the kind comment :)
Too many families are homeless...and the thought of the number of abandoned homes neglected or forgotten - not being occupied to shelter people is truly sad 😞
With the house being so old it could have some paranormal activity there. Ya never know.
I've been seeing and hearing that on some of his videos. I would not own haunted property unless I drive out these demons first, then I can declare the property "clean." :)
what a nice architecture way back in year 1700's. love this house! looks like its abandoned just several years ago :)
how many years do you think this was abandoned?
1700's?? Farmhouse? Was more like a mansion.. elegant. Those vandals , someone needs to catch them & paybacktime.. Looks like someone sure keeps the yard up nice.
With those tree beams, & age, looks like perfect place for Historical society to step in & save..
Great video, Steve, Thank You..
+ndog2005 Thank You
When I win the lottery I'm buying one of the homes and rebuilding it. I'm 64...it's just a dream...lol!
That hall/deck inside is huge you could put a basketball court there. Steve @4:08 to @4:14 I hear a little girl and another gentlemen, were others there ? Great video as always!
I heard it too
That was amazing Steve! Thx! Those narrow stairs were obviously for the servants. Back in the day the mortality rate among servants was high because of situations like this. They would fall and break something and die. Servants back then were expendable. This was a house that was meant to stand the test of time the way it was construction. You don't know the exact date, or do you of the house being built. It's over 200 years old. Amazing. Thx for your time and effort in the making of this superb video. Good job!
+licksnkicks Thank You. Yea those stairs were the worst I have seen. I have been in a few houses that had stairs like that, but not that slim
im glad that you have a disclaimer .
I see you found my wall doodles. Just kidding. Or am I? Bwa haw haw haw..
It makes me so sad. Although I am not actually that old, it's clear to me that today's youth has no concept of how imperative it is for our world to preserve it's history. These idiots don't realize that with every shake of their paint can, every flick of their wrist, they are killing part of what makes us relevant as humans. We are so deeply defined by the past in so many ways. It is a part of each and every one of us. No technology, or anything with which we regularly interact with for that matter, came to be without hundreds and thousands of others before it. Inventors and architects, builders and scientists. Countless hours of trial and error. And every time they deface and destroy, they are ruining a part of the past, and because of that, part of our future.
+FireCracker3240 I completely 100% agree
Yes it's sad, but it's the sign of the times.
What pretty sounding birds in the background
Beautiful old house. The scum who tagged it should spend several years on a chain gang.
Want! I really hope someone saves this one!
I live in a house built in 1825 right down the street from the famed Dickinson homestead. We have a late 1700's-1940's landfill in the woods behind our house. There was no trash pick up back then, people burned and buried their garbage. I've found a plethora of artifacts/treasures there in. But, metal detecting on the property and in the woods is an insane concept just because its SO littered not only with awesome things, but also a ton of "junk" square nails, bottle caps and pull-tabs from beers and sodas over the decades. Coolest things found: clay pipes, eye glasses, cigarette cases, automotive decals, countless bottles and cold cream jars, (blue glass and one in the shape of George Washington!), fountain pens, clay grain storage bins, porcelain license plates, lamps, bullets, coins, jewelry, porcelain and clay plates, porcelain jam jars, toys and dolls, and porcelain figurines, the list goes on. Total time capsule.
That was a cool house! I really liked that big room with the barn style ceiling. It was awesome. It's a shame what those people did. That bathtub in there was in amazing shape! Those things are like 1,000 dollars! I'm surprised nobody ever took that out of there.
very nice job Steve!! Love this place! :-) this house is badass! I hate the graffiti and every damn room though!!
Thank you
How beautiful this must have been in its day! All the graffiti makes me feel hateful. Wish there was a pill for stupid. Thanks for bringing this historical house to us Steve :)
+Janett Richardi Now that would be nice
Where is this farm at I would love to get some info on it.
How did you find what year it was biult?
I'd love to have that kitchen. I'd possibly just kill for a kitchen like that with none of this modern day crap.
Beautiful house and beautifully recorded.
I wonder would those little nob heads spray their own homes like that! The craftsmanship that went into those gorgeous doors and those little thugs ruin them in a space of a few seconds. Why!!
Many thanks again for sharing. Peace and blessings from Ireland 🇮🇪
I love this house. I'd like to find out where it is and look into purchasing it to refurbish and live in.
What a shame that such a historical house like that should be destroyed.
Sad. This house is pretty cool.
