This house really truly was a time capsule. Very authentic, early American, country interior. The entire top floor particularly was a time capsule of early American country. Definitely a collection that you rarely see together in its original settings, especially the upstairs. All the furniture was authentic, the wide floorboards, the chests, the wallpapers, the wide frames around the windows; even that reclining chair upstairs was very rare to see. The white linens on the bed probably handmade, and the sewn together pieces of fabric you found in the chest would have been the top layer of a patchwork quilt, clearly not finished. A shame this house was not saved. I’m glad you got to see it though. if you were ever wondering what it would look like to walk into a western and be invited to an old cowboy’s house, this would be what it looked like. If you were wondering why there were multiple doors in the bedrooms upstairs, they used to make them so you could get a breeze through the entire top floor of the house, and the upstairs wouldn’t get so hot. They used to do this in more southern houses in the US. They are breezeways for airflow. I hope you’re enjoying your trip here in the US, love to see all the old houses in this country. ❤
That was a quilt in the trunk. Back in the old days, women in the community would form a quilting bee. They would get together and bring their scrap cloth materials, they would cut them into various shapes, sew them together to make a beautiful, colorful quilt for the beds. Wonderful video as always. Thank you Leslie and Danny. ❤❤
Nice to see this place hasn’t been vandalized and covered in graffiti. 👍👍 Lesley and Danny!
Hi Lesley and Danny. In America, never assume that a place is completely abandoned no matter what it looks like. The odds are, someone is keeping an eye on it ever now and then, especially if the electricity is still on. Someone IS paying the bill for it each month, or it would be turned off. There is a small charge even if the electricity isn't being used. If the bill goes up, the owner will probably notice and check things out. As for rocking chairs, they are great for getting babies to sleep, for reading a good book, and for just helping yourself take a short rest before getting back to work🙂. The reclining chair probably had a matching foot stool at one time. What you called a barn was probably a garage (for cars and storage) since it was connected to the house. A barn would have been far enough away from the house that smells were not a problem - usually🙂. Just a note: when going through old, abandoned houses in the US during the warmer months, be careful about snakes, especially rattle snakes. They do get inside sometimes. They will usually move away from vibrations (they don't have ears but feel vibrations through the ground or floor). You want to take some heavy steps now and then so you don't sneak up on them. Water Moccasins or Cotton Mouth snakes can be dangerous also, especially in the southern US. They love overgrown, weedy places. So be careful out there, be safe, and have fun.
It's probably bank owned, they usually keep the power on
Copperheads are common in North Carolina and are poisonous. Black racers are common as well but are not poisonous but get pretty big. Be careful walking through tall grass in warm weather! And unlike Canada, if the electricity is on, someone is paying it for sure. Lastly, Americans, especially in the country, own guns. They won’t shoot but it still is unsettling. Great video.
@@terri9261 Every now and then I enjoy watching this type video. It surprises me that we don't hear about these people getting bit by snakes. Hope it stays that way.
Artificial insemenation of cows, livestock
@@terri9261There is no such thing as a poisonous snake.
The Eagle thing upstairs is a fish finder. There is a piece that reads the depth of the water as well as shows various features in the water and on sides and bottom.
I thought that was what it was. I didn't make any kind of post but. yes good job of confirmation for me. I'm getting old. 😂
👍👍
I know in a lot of States the water is left on for safety reasons. But I didn't know they left the electricity on too. I guess it was not consuming much as nobody was living in so they didn't bother about it.
A very neat find. Once again you are so sensitive with the items in the house giving great respect to the people that have passed.
I work for large electric utility I can tell you with 100% confidence no way power would be left on in a house that is abandoned. When the payment stops being received, we send a employee to the home to verify someone is there, or they might be dead. We found several people who have died in their home wasn't until one of our meter guys went to the home and get no answer, they call the police who enter the home find owner had died. Been a few where our guys could smell the body from the door. They had autopay where social security was direct deposit, and account was auto paying.
I too was wondering about the electricity being on. If he went broke 14 years ago one would think it was turned off for nonpayment.
That gold finish piece of jewelry is representative of the National Rifle Association medal for shooting accuracy.
Hello, I am a fan who lives in South Korea. I participated in the live for a short time last time, thank you for giving me a warm welcome. I feel the infinite emotions of abandoned things while watching your videos. I'm also very curious about what kind of life they are living now after leaving the place. I just leave it to my imagination, but when I look at them, I ironically think of dreams and hopes.
I want to be with your channel for a long time.
Always be healthy and make a lot of good videos. Thank you always lesley!♥
Researching the name and address, it appears that James was born in 1964, making him only 58 now. Another James died, but the sister was Pat, not the brother. It seems he may still be alive but not capable of taking care of the home.
The blanket in the chest upstairs is called a quilt made from colourful squares of fabric.
É um trabalho manual muito bonito, é feito com sobras de pedaços de tecido, aqui no Brasil chamamos de colcha de retalhos, mas também é conhecido como patchwork.
I love to hear that other countries do quilting. I have a cr8b size one my Grandma made from my first grade of school clothes. Sun Bonnet Sue. I'm 82 so guess me and the quilt are antiques almost. I don't have any family left so I don't have anyone to pass it down to, that makes me feel sad.
Artificial insemination is also used for livestock. This man would have to be a physician to do AI on women. The house may have been condemned because of the chimney fire though there’s usually a notice on the house if that happens. Little trucks used to be common in the US. That thing over the bed of the truck is called a shell. It’s not a camper, it’s just for keeping the stuff in the back of the truck dry.
Artificial insemination for animals was my first thought. Some of the current day homesteaders who have You Tube channels use artificial insemination on their animals, usually done by veterinarians, but James must have been licensed to do this for himself and possibly other farmers as well.
@@nellcovington4001 my sister in law’s Father and brother have black Angus’s. They use artificial insemination for some their cattle. They flew a bull to Argentina and made some big money for using this bull to sire several cattle over there. My niece and her husband just had their female dog, insemenated it’s a rare dog, so the male they used was the same type. They are now expecting five pups, which will sell for a very good amount of money. I guess they have to give the owner of the male dog a percentage of each sold. But, him thinking the man was doing women that was funny 😅.
@@Cheetoluv "But, him thinking the man was doing women that was funny 😅."
Yes, It was funny😄.
If it is a farm maybe is for work with cows and not humans 😅
@ 27:04, the beautiful old rocking chair is an antique "sewing rocker" - no arms so the elbows could move freely - rocks to keep circulation moving in the legs - no one sews by hand anymore though - the sewing machine with a cabinet replaced the sewing rocker - it makes me sad to see how corporate farms destroyed the family farm - there is no way to compete with them
I sew by hand!
Only lower cost organic farm but you'll consume most of your products?Can be made profitable though.
@@Micaly279 Me too!
Hi guys, the piece of fabric with many patches is called a quilt "top", eventually the maker was hoping to make a quilt with it. Putting a batting inbetween the layers and a backing put with it all to make a warm comforter/quilt for the family.
worth lots of money!!!
@@kerryharris7751 they sure are! For Leslie and Danny, old quilts are family heirlooms, passed down from generations, just very meaningful. Quilting is still a popular pastime, too. You probably passed some quilt shops in your travels through the US? These shops sell some quilts but mostly sell fabric and other supplies to quilters.
Wallpaper in every room is a dream come true for me personally. It took me 50 years, but I like wallpaper now. And all those older homes have wonderful bathtubs. We women do love a nice warm bath.
34:32 you forgot to check the atic. Theres a door with stairs behind you!
In the 50s and early 60s we had pink refrigerators and turquoise. Then suddenly it all went brown, then white&black then to stainless steel look, which resembles a industrial cafeteria&kitchens. I much prefer adding a little color. No one dares to be different, they all want the same thing when a trend is in! I remember these types things as a child. Another great &interesting video. Thank you so much!! Welcome to America!!Moisture and dampness causes everything to come unglued!There is supposed to be no debtors prison in the USA but he may have been thrown in jail! that was a telephone cassette for voicemail
not just brown (copper), but avocado green and gold, too :) the 70s colors.
don't forget turquoise!@@oldbat4383 Growing up, our neighbors to the left had turquoise kitchen appliances, the family on the right had copper, and we had stainless steel.
Point of interest, someone was there at the end of 2010 which is when the farmer's almanac would have been printed in 2011.
Yes, I noticed that in the bathroom. So the house was not abandoned in 2008 as Lesly thought by the calendar.
Hi Lesley, I'm in Texas and me and my husband enjoy your video's. You have such compassion for what you love about your job. You have so much respect for families items in their homes. We appreciate all your hard work you and Danny do for all of us out here. Have a wonderful week Lesley.❤
Cute wallpaper. Back in style with grandmillenial.
I like that the two of you show such respect to the properties you explore. You two make a great team.
I cannot believe you were in my state! Spectacular ❤
I said “spectacular” in my head in Lesley’s voice 😂
Hi Bros.! I really like this farm house.
The piece of furniture at the end of the bed in the first bedroom looks like a piano stool maybe. The pantry or built in cabinets in the kitchen we do have in the south (maybe just not the ones you've seen). One thing you might not find in parts of the south though is a coat closet. (We don't need them😊).
There is a very wide variety of home styles in the US that is so true. Good luck with your exploring and be safe!
That color a stove used to be called Cooper tone. I'm so happy that they never got any where trying to sue him . I miss my grandfather I always took him everywhere with me when I was in my late teens. He spoke with a thick German accent and my friends would always say what did he say and I would translate English into English without the accent lol. The owner of the house probably got to were he couldn't walk and ended up in a nursing home. Thank you for the interesting video.
The blankets that are in the trunk are called quilts. They are all hand made. I'm from Ohio and our grandparents made this and their mother's ect. Oh and it was fishing strong not a rod or real. But love all the videos you share.❤
The certificate is for a bovine course, Artificial Insemination for cattle breeding, also the owner must have taken quite a big loan against the property, and as most banks are unforgiving about unpaid debt, the farm must have fallen into foreclosure and he was forced out how sad...
The pieces of material sewn together is called a guilt . They never wasted anything at this time and sewn odds ends ends of material to make a blanket . Also they made new ones of new material for a baby blanket or kids with stages of there life’s on it . Some of them have been passed down in families for decades . It’s really a nice way of showing how much you care for the person they are making it for . Good show though !
Wow 14 years and still power working
Unheard of here in the USA. Damn they threaten me with shut off after missing one month payment. 🤣🤣
My electric bill was $277.00 in February. I'm a single person I don't even cook or do laundry....and it was only a small studio. I don't know how my bill got to that amount, there wasn't any back payments overdue in there. I was just about one month. Probably TMI here girls, but had a really hard time getting that much money together. I'm 82....yall know my diet for the month was ramen noodles. 😊😢
An earlier comment said he passed in February. Very recent. The relatives may have the power still on to clear out the house, but who knows.
Great explore, it's in better condition than many houses that have been abandoned for so long. I noticed that although the house seems to have been abandoned, the book in the bathroom was a Farmer's Almanac for 2011. The Almanac is published 2 years in advance so it may have been later than 2008 when James left.
I just love the way you take so much pride and care defining the families who left every behind thank you for sharing it ❤
Your music selection is splendid 🎼🎹
I enjoy your videos. The houses you explore are beautiful. Nice to see you in the United States. We do love our freedom here, you are right.
Thank you and thank you Danny.
What a beautiful house! It's sad to see homes like this abandoned. Thank you for being respectful on your explorations! 😘
Beautiful explore with professional videoing. You guys are so respectful! Really enjoy your journeys. 💜
Love your work
Another fantastic video Lesley! I bet that mansion was beautiful in its early years
Thank you guys for showing this house. I loved the way you described everything, taking and putting things back to their places with such care and respect. The photography is also wonderful. ❤️
Massachusetts is the state that I’m from so this is so interesting for me …thanks Leslie and Danny
What a beautiful bedroom! I can't wait to see this amazing documentary 😍🤩Absolutely fantastic video !!! Enjoy all the old furniture including the recliner, old pictures, and the rooms. 😍Excellent job, Lesely! 😍🤩
But I’m wondering why is that doll not covered with dust? I wonder if someone went through there before he did and also had the electricity turned on for him.
I kept waiting for them to go up to the attic!! The staircase was in the corner of the room with mirror on the door. Great explore, nonetheless ❤
Love watching your shows. I love the way you show the places that you go to cuz I just love seeing things like.
Lovely big old home , great explore thanks Leslie & Danny 💕👏🏻
Amazing find!! Job well done!!
Hi lesly thank you so much for your lovely videos . I really love it❤
Love it again! The medal NRA is National Rifleman's Association, the quilt in the chest was the top someone finished but never got the stuffing called "batting" and bottom material sewn onto. The Eagle piece of technology is a "Fish Finder" for a boat. It tells you how deep the water is and shows you where fish are. The book in the bathroom is something every USA Farmer has in their home! It predicts growing, weather and many things. Alot of Americans get it every year ( me too) to plant and grow and know when storms will occur. Be careful....in America... if the electric is on... someone is still around! It cost the family to pay for it here. Have fun..
Hello Leslie n Danny. Beautiful farm house. Very interesting video like always. Great job. Thank you both😊
Thank you for this show.
Another great find. Bros Of Decay NUMBER 1
Hi guys, I love this old farmhouse. I enjoy watching your videos you guys enjoy what you do.. Keep them coming
Thanks! You and Danny are the best! 🩷💜💙
32.55 blanket is quilt. Most often, in the olden days, sewed together with scrap of fabric. Now a days, new fabric is bought to make quilts.
Your so respectful of these places.Thank you for that
What a nice older house 🏠. It looks very cozy 😊. Thanks for sharing this video 📹 😊. Stay safe 👌 👍 🙏 ❤ 💓 💙
Thankyou you kind sir for all your amazing tours look so forward leslie to your amazing tours love you hugs many
Lesley, thank you for a great tour of the house! To Danny it's wonderful to tag along with him for an awesome adventure. We appreciate your work.
Another awesome video.I love old abandoned houses. Thank you for coming to the United States.
cher monieur tes videos sont tres emouvante touchante et agreable a la foi vous mavez tranportee dans le temps avec nostalgie un retour vers un passe merveilleux merci pour ce partage algeria
@ 34:14 I do believe, that's a depth finder, for fishing.
It shows the depth to the ground, under the boat, and can detect fish between the boat and the ground under it.
loveeeeeeeee seeing all the beautiful things left inside

YES good aftirnoon my friend Bro fo Decay

Greetings from the SW coast of Florida ❤️🇺🇸
Me: drinks myself to death in the kitchen
Bros. of decay: he sat and talked to his family
14:31 The living room looks to be an untouched time capsule.
que casa tan linda que tristeza que acabara asi abandonada y triste
No that is not fire damage it is water seeping in. Fire would have spread to more of the highly flammable paper.
Cant wait for this!!
Awesome house thanks I enjoyed watching
Hello Lesley, I like this video and i love the reclining chair, good luck to your next venture😻
Oh wow, Leslie and Danny in the US, would love to get to meet you both. Love your videos.
Looks amazing 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️
I just love love at all you show you guys are awesome 👍.
Josie from Texas USA
amazing channel i love it
Like your videos of these places just left with everything Iin them that is fantasting
When you talk about knives it is a Sheath, not a holster. Swords have scabbards.
Yay finally a new one so hard to get your new utubes
So sad to see the house and belongings to rott😢 In the 60th and 70th we had such chairs in Germany named Lazer Chair. Maybe they where coming from the states? i crew up in bavaria where the US Army where as Allied. The pic of James remember me of a Guy i feelt in love as a teenager😊
Great vidéo bravo 👍👍👍😺😺😺👋👋👋👋
É um lugar extraordinário, mas é triste não saber exatamente o que aconteceu com a família que matava aí e com James, tudo tão lindo, fico triste com todas as lembranças que deixam para trás. Parabéns pelo vídeo maravilhoso. Um forte abraço para vocês.
I somehow lost touch with this channel for a good while. Starting this video and seeing you in the states has me stoked af.
I luv ur Explorations...🙋🏻😊🕊️🍀🎶😘
Thanks guys! I’m with you Danny...O don’t like the cold either. Luckily California is warm most of the time.
Thank you gays from bros of. Decay……❤❤
Gays,? I think you mean "Guys"
Hi Lesley and Danny.
The place looks like an old Omish house. Beautiful.
Insemination is use on cow farms but its typically used for blood line in Race Horses. They use it so the Mare doesn't get her coat marred up.
Horse showing purposes.
We americans love rocking our babys in rocking chairs.😊
I was kinda dissapointed the you didnt go up to the 3 floor. I seen the stairs in the boys room right after you were talking about that Eagle thing on the bed. I enjoyed the tour. Thanks for sharing.
Could not be Amish....it has electricity.
May be Mennonite ?
@@bextar6365 possibly
@@bextar6365Mennonites wouldn’t have images of Christ and they wouldn’t display images of Mary either. That artwork is Roman Catholic.
@@sarahd5341 BINGO !!! !!
I enjoy your interesting videos. Greetings from Finland.
Hi, we love you guys. That is a camper shell on the back of the truck.
Excelente,me encanta,y el cámara 🎥 Dany lo graba todo fenomenal
wow so cool old house i goggle 34:24 said it was afishing thing look for them in water ty for video
so many treasures...
Hello everybody🤗Nice location🏚😍Lovely greetings from germany to you🤗😘😘
I really enjoy your videos, as I've noted before! That car is a Volkswagen Rabbit pickup (the US VW Rabbit was based on the European-market Volkswagen Golf). I can't recall for sure, but I think the pickup truck version might have been exclusive to our part of the world, while the passenger car configurations were more widely available (as the Golf in most places and the Rabbit in North America). In the mid 1980's when I was in college in the state of Washington, my roommate had a light blue Volkswagen pickup similarly equipped with a canopy over the bed like the one in this video. I have fond memories of running around our college town in that truck!
Thanks 💋
Amo seus vídeos Lesley. Sou sua fã do Brasil.
Would love to see you both in Canada 🍁 ❤
the Doll room ... BTFL !!!!!! sooo beautyfullllll !!!!!!
That’s where I’m from Massachusetts and I miss it everyday
Love your car hart jacket,Lesley. Very American. Greatly enjoy your perspective and the respectful treatment of the home.
Really awesome 😎💯 explore that old place is cool 😎👍 I don't know how you do it finding better places in America than American explorers do
I had to laugh when you were in the kitchen. It looked like the kitchen I had back in the 70's! I had an identical electric stove, same color and my oven looked about like that. lol! The built in cupboards etc. were the same. The quilt in the trunk was sad to see. Someone went to a lot of work to sew all those pieces together. Never finished. I was surprised to see that the electricity was still on too. Unusual!
Bros, FYI - @ 11:25 Eastern is a company that specializes in artificial breeding of cows on farms. Love the channel Leslie and Danny. Very cool. 😎👍🏻👍🏻
Hi from California. Haven’t seen one of those sweepers since the 70s lol my mom had one.
Cool find. That Volkswagen here in South Africa we call it a bakkie 😅
