Stunning Grand Forgotten 150 year old Doctors Mansion Up North in New Jersey

- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Beautiful Italianate Mansion built in the late 1800’s around 1865-1870 towards the end of the Civil War. The house has lived many lives and was actually a funeral home in the early 1900’s then eventually became a doctors office which closed its doors around 2007. Sadly this house has some major roof damage and will most likely end up torn down. Sad fate for a beautiful house. Glad to have documented it on film and pictures so it can live on in some way. Thanks for watching

WOW What a stunner. I cannot believe this one has been left to decay. What an absolute shame. Thank you Kappy
It hurts my heart to see this gorgeous home in such a deteriorating state.
Poor house, water in the basement is a death knell. The grey stuff on the upstairs floor where the ceiling collapsed is old insulation. Great video, hi Ruby!
That must have been a beautiful home! I have heard that homes on the coast that would have those towers, they were called widows peaks. After the wife’s husband went to sea, she would go there and watch for his return! Thanks Ruby and Kappy!
Oh Wow! What a beauty 🫶before the remodeling. The outside looks humongous 😮. It would be so cool to hang out in the widow’s peak during a thunderstorm.
I like the way you think!! It did start pouring rain just as we left too! Shame it hadn’t been 10 minutes earlier! Thanks for watching! :)
2007 isn't very long ago. It's amazing how quickly the house has deteriorated.
What an awesome house. Bet it was absolutely beautiful once upon a time.
Agreed! Thank you very much for watching! :)
This is truly a remarkable find. I share in the sentiments of wishing I could have seen it in her glory days.
This was the most amazing house! You did an awesome job finding the beautiful architectural details amid the wierd reno mess. Thx for finding the best wallpaper samples!! Great to have Ruby along we Kappy fans have missed her! Great explore Kappy!!
Wow. What a beauty! I’d love to know the history. I can just imagine back in the day when it probably was the grandest home in the county. Wouldn’t it be something if somebody sent photos to you of this mansion in her original state. My imagination goes wild. How wonderful it wasn’t tagged & destroyed either. Those fireplaces😮. Just stunning
My imagination goes wild too...
I want the same thing! Surely there are pictures somewhere!
Imagine turning a house like that into a funeral home! It was an odd sensation to get caught up in the beauty of the remaining features and then look out of the windows to see modern life right next door. Didn't seem to fit. Nice of you all to be concerned about the cat! 😺
I've been to more than one old house that's been turned into a funeral home.
I can tell you from experience that it will take a VERY LARGE pile of money to fix that house. The house we bought was not in that bad of shape but it has taken lots of money to fix it AND we bought the old stuff to fix it the way it was. We couldn't afford to pay someone so it has been 13 years and we are still not done. Good job on finding this one Kappy !!!!
Wow, what a mysterious beauty. It's a shame it had to get to this condition.
Thank you for filming this beauty before its gone for good. You can almost see what the house may have looked like. The rooms with the small sinks looked like exam rooms. The fireplaces on the second floor I believe are art deco. The very top floor is called a widows walk. The wives would look out to sea waiting for their mariner to return. A lot of times they never made it back, hence the name widows walk. What a gem this was.
What a beautiful old place! Hi Ruby!!!! ☺️ Thanks again for sharing Kappy!!
Wow freaking awesome 👍😎 place kappy weird the new addition falling in and most of the original structure still intact man so sad it was let go to bad all the wood wasn't stained
OMG! ok you two need to claim one of these gorgeous old buildings and get a TV show and renovate it. I will watch your show! I can't believe how awesome this house is. And it's not in the middle of nowhere. I love Ruby's enthusiasm. And Ruby, why didn't you go up the first level back turning staircase? I knew Kappy wouldn't but I expected you to. 😕🙃
I love those steep twisting back staircases 😊
Hi Alice!!! I wish I would’ve, this house was truly a maze! I usually would walk off by myself and poke around a little but I let Kappy lead the way on this one hahah 😅. Thanks for watching!❤
Alicia**
Ruby in the house today! 🤩That was a beautiful place in its day. Shame things like this go to decay. Good find Kap! Take care you two.❤👍
Oh my word!!! Absolutely stunning!! The archways and the transem!!! So beautifully built!! Oh I wish people would put the time and money into these homes and restore their history. That’s why we appreciate you so much Kappy! You put so much hard work and dedication into capturing these homes so they won’t disappear forever. As always, stay safe!! 😊
Couldn’t agree more! Only wish could’ve seen this house before it underwent some of the remodels! Still had a lot of beautiful old details tho! Thank you for the kind words and much appreciated always for watching Melissa!! :)
There is somèthing unsettlling about seeing floorboards CURVING & then taking a dive towards the basement floor.
Needs The property brothers for those old homes
Amazing place! I'm not one for changing original structures, but hey I guess it's good to put them to use and extend their lives a little. At least the good doc used it. Hopefully he or she had a successful practice. I love cats! I have one. Her name is Mia. Great tour guys, thanks!
Tragic, just tragic that this amazing house was left to die. 😢
I really enjoyed this one. Thanks for bringing Ruby along I like it when she's with you. Some of these houses you go into are old as the hills and the firm believer in having someone with you just in case. See you on the next one. Thanks
There are so many people with the money to restore these beautiful houses, yet they will not donate a dime toward historic preservation. They instead build huge McMansions out of glued up wood chips, and spend on expensive cars that will be nothing but trouble.
It is a shame to see these special houses unloved. That place was built with love.
So many adorable traditional remnants, like the dolphin head below the scroll on one of the fireplaces.
Kappy,I so appreciate all these places you bring us to.ThankYou!!!
The city should fix the old part--the house up especially. How interesting!!!
Hey Ruby! Glad you’re with Kappy today. You put a spring in his step and he sounds so happy when you are around. 💗😊
Hi Cindy!!!! He’s definitely sounds more excited when he’s got someone to share the experience with I’ve noticed ❤
I love how you show the extended view and the short view great filmmaking
Ohh please please someone buy this house and fix it up. It’s sooo beautiful.
Beautiful house. I love all of it. I do love the textured glass windows and the turret.
This one is worth saving, it would take a month of gutting it down to frame, “20 dumpsters “. Then surgically cut it apart into crane size pieces. Label everything, then truck it off to a new home and reassemble this old growth forest - the lead paint and all the plumbing.
Great to see this decadent labyrinth of a beautiful place what an explore to search through there, and hopefully you bring back some goodies for the kitty that was roaming around🐈⬛ And Ruby is great on the explore, how ever, she was coughing some, Hoping she’s alright. Masks are a good idea to bring along on some treks like this. You’re a perfect team, and I just caught this a year later,Wah! Take care Sweeties 💖👍❣️✅
We are no longer together, it’s just me now, I’m sorry about that, I’d take the videos down but the houses are more important than the end of a relationship! Thanks for watching
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 It’s fine, relating can have difficulties, that’s life in a nut shell.But so happy to see your videos, I cherish them,and I’m happy that you’re busy caring for your relatives, that’s commendably admirable,Stay Strong 💪 many of us love your connections with history as it’s important to give respects to everyone that tried to hold on to making a life somewhere, and some more simple than others but that’s our human family, and when there’s these gems that you find that are holding up to the test of time,that’s like us we go through a lot but keep ⭐️✅👍🥳😁
Wow!! I wouldn't have minded going to the Doctors office back in it's prime, u just know it was spectacular,love the French doors!!So much history and living done in that house.I don't know why some of these houses arent historically preserved,what a waste!Thanks kappy,great find
This house would have beautiful when it was first built. Sadly for whatever reason it became a funeral home? That explains the basement and all the rooms down there. Then a doctors office? Where they started blocking off main features of the house. Poor thing now it just sits there abandoned and falling down. Thanks for sharing some pretty amazing features though. Have a great day
Wow, what a beautiful old relic, would have been so imposing in it's time, now surrounded with ugly new buildings, makes me so sad it's come to this when the most amazing architectural treasures are being lost forever. Thanks Kappy and Ruby for this very interesting explore. Hope the resident cat is finding lots of mice to eat.
The stunning tiled fireplace at 3:30! And the privacy glass in the door at 16:00. Gorgeous. what a beautiful old home.
You had me at the porch, really. It's a freaking work of art. HIIIIII Ruby and Kappy. Missed ya'll while I was gone. But look at this goodie that waited for me when I got back. ;) Gorgeous fireplace. I do hate it to see when they've lowered the ceilings. But I get it, it's for the offices and patient's. Maybe regulations? That high ceiling is gorgeous in old houses. Lots of mold looks like in some places. The stair railing and bannisters are gorgeous. That second fireplace is gorgeous, and I see bricks peeking out at me. That transom is killer. That patterned glass is interesting, and pretty. I'm guessing this was meant as a Dr. Clinic, and that remodeling proved too expensive and too difficult. Maybe second floor was like you said, a sort of hospital/long term care. OOOOH that 3rd fireplace. This was definitely meant to be a clinical setting, regardless of what it actually ended up being. I can see shades of medical all throughout this place. It's definitely a mixed bag this house.
It just seems like it should be a crime to let history fall apart. Very heart breaking!
wow ... That house was so grand in its day. The bannister that curved to the rt at 2nd floor is def a result of a rennovation..because - The house I grew up in was almost identical. That was freaky to see.... Annnd the documents on the second floor wit the red lettering? I believe the DR also delivered those to students in schools. I remember getting them.
Absolutely beautiful,I was imagining it in its hey day., Fireplaces,etc, wonderful to have visited doctor there, what an atmosphere,inside and out
Its hard to believe how this place fell into so much ruin in just a little over a decade
Wow! What a house! I gotta tell ya when you were on first floor walking around and I heard that floor cracking it made me jump! And that basement totally gave me the creeps! Nothing good down there. It would be cool to see a picture of it in its earliest days.
Lol, hey guys I got news for you. This was not a doctors office. It was a funeral home. I'm 62 years old now and I grew up not too far from this house which was a funeral home back in the 60s and 70s. And yes it was beautiful back in it's heyday. Thanks for going inside. I was always wondering what became of it. ✌
Great explore! I'm amazed it's not more trashed given its location in a city center; wow¡
Thankyou for sharing.
We had a built in cabinet like the apartment we lived in before we bought our home it was in the bathroom and so handy for putting stuff in loved it.. the apartment building was super old guessing about 1920. Anna In Ohio
She was a beauty.
Video just starting but wanted to say HI RUBY!
Hi Lisa!!!!❤
If walls could talk & this one, having been Doctor's office with addition, would lead to book. Just Horrid, that not been kept updated, esp the roof.
Hiii... Im watch from Indonesia..
Nice to meet ur channel
Nice
It’s too bad an architectural salvager doesn’t come in and save some of those priceless things like the fireplace mantles,that antique frosted glass, the antique tub, doors, molding, etc, etc!
Super looking place. Would have been very impressive when new.
I heard her coughing. FYI, when black mold is present, that is a way of knowing. Not good to be walking through there, with nothing covering your face. Just a little FYI😌💁🏾♀️
Boy they really did a job on that beautiful mansion. What a shame. They changed the fireplace tiles too. ☹ Not a murder hornet, those things are massive.
What a big beautiful structure. Be careful of bat and bird poop if disturbed the dust can do bad things same with mice and rat poop and pee if disturbed and inhaled : ( , but I think I could go through big buildings forever :)))))
Real Nice Find Kappy!... Would've been nice if it was saved, but I think it still can be... 👍😏
Agreed! Thank you for watching! :)
I've no patron subscriptions, but I would subscribe to yours!!!
The Dr's sure messed that house up. Wish I could have seen it before- beautiful. That's insulation on the 3rd floor where the roof caved in.
I know I said what I said on the other home but this one here I think I would start on it first if I could buy it!!!🙂👍❤️
It's just looks like someone set a big bomb off in that place. Even though it's just natural decay .it's too bad it couldn't be saved for someone else to use .
Good one
Is that on the national register. Like holy moly I'd restore it and knock the back half off.
Shocked its still standing
WOW !!! 🥰
Heat Risses them tall ceilings it would take a lot of energy to heat.
I think people were just a lot healthier back when this house was built. There is no way they could heat a house like that and it be comfortable, even if there was no worry about the heating bill. I've lived in I grew up in old houses, not as big as this, but still hard to heat and as hard as we tried we were still cold in the winter. There was no such thing as insulation.
What a damn shame.😢
A Lot of the damage we see through you and sometimes Ruby, is peeling paint. This damage will occur on any oil painted original covered up with early water based paint. Oil and water don't mix. (Now new paints have been invented).
I would love to explore an old mansion a Lucky you. ! Just concerned you don't fall thru the floors. A bit scary.
in the upstairs, right after you said "some1s gonna be mad about painting of the old wallpaper" there was a whisper that said "get. out."....any1 else hear it?
Enormous House
Would be cool to know who built that magnificent house before the city was built up around it...
As much as I love old houses, even deteriorating ones, this place just gives me the creeps, like it was used for the mentally ill, or something (I don't want to use "insane asylum")
It would make a great law office if restored. Too bad it's in a crappy location because it would make a great private home too.
Magnificent buildings and homes, meant to last, unfortunately went out of “vogue” and the “disposables”, as in everything ,
arrived. (As a sign of prosperity?)
We will never see the like of the old builds again. If they must come down, PLEASE, someone with vision and a lot of space carefully disassemble them and store everything you can. If it’s old does not mean disposable.
Good work you have for us to see, but it can really depress some of us.
These tours make me wish I were Samantha Stephens, I'd twitch my nose and restore these homes, or I'd just settle for a magic wand.
Amazing! What town is this?
The home is beautiful. The remodel destroyed its beauty.
I was hoping that the upstairs was still original. As if the doctor and his family lived up there. But clearly this was turned into a clinic of some sort.
Time for someone to go in and buy them all 1 by 1 and make them a business!!! 🙂👍❤️
Almost all the aged houses in your videos would be much better shape if only the roof would last then interior would be saved.
Is the house still standing? Such a shame if it was torn down
Great place for a horror movie.
At one time beautiful.
It appears it may have been used as an ancillary medical facility for the local hospital. They are responsible for letting it rot.
Just imagine what it would cost a month to heat that joker. OMG
Why is there Always junk on the floors of these houses?
Love the secret staircase!
Everything looks dry rotted and ready to collapse. This would be a money pit to restore.
They painted everything white! I wish we could see the OG place!!! The white gives it a weird vibe
A very nice old place too bad the roof is very bad.
Ruby says, "First."
Maybe it was a rehab house.
We had thought about that as well! Definitely a possibility! Thanks for watching! :)
I wonder how it got into such shambles and decay.
Hey Kappy and Ruby! What a massive place! Would love to see the original layout before it got chopped up. Still many awesome features. Be careful on those sketchy floors. Thanks for the look at this amazing place. Stay safe! ✌️
I wish we could have seen this before the doctors got to it. She was once magnificent.
True that! Was actually a funeral home before this so it’s lived a few lives! Thank you very much for watching! :)
I wondered funeral home too after seeing a few things.
How can you tell it is a female house? I must have missed that part.
You said it, Maureen! She was, and still is, a sight to behold! Wish we could have seen her in her prime!
@@fishmongers All beautiful structures, boats and the like are female!
Awwww, I love that Ruby was so concerned with the cat. I would be the same way. ☺️. I also share her love of old wallpaper 😂
Some may not like it, but I love it when old houses are used for doctors’ offices. My old doctor’s was one. Just enough changed to be functional. The waiting room was in the front parlor with a fireplace. The kitchen was actually their lab. The bathroom was 1940s still with the tub. Old creaky hardwood floors. It was awesome. He passed but the building is still being used. Prob from 1880s or 90s. Check your DM. ❤
My doctors office was the same way. I always loved it. The original den was the waiting room. There were large pillars and built ins between the living room and the den. I still remember the stairs creaking as they went up and down from the offices upstairs.
It's such a shame to see a beautiful house go to waste it was still active in 2007 why didn't they keep up the maintenance it's a beautiful house it could have became a beautiful apartment building or somebody is nice mansion beautiful
Another GREAT find Kappy! I love when Ruby said "Hey" to us in the beginning! She sounds so sweet! Always looking forward to your next one!
