- Hey house lovers and explorers!
Next week I have an epic documentary on a hidden cottage which has the most history by far that I have put in to a video thus the reason it turned in to a Doco :-)
But this weeks video is of 3 homes from 3 distinctively different eras being a bungalow from the 1920`s, a 50`s home with art deco revival themes and the last home a classic late 70`s which is also has a blend of the themes that took hold in the early 80`s.
The first 2 were a bit creepy looking from out and just screamed abandoned come inside if you dare......SO I did haha :-)
Hope you enjoy the walk the explores.
Thanks for watching :-)
Giving a thumbs up before I’ve even watched as I know it will be fantastic as always👍🏽😁
I do the same lol
Wow, thanks Artiii One :-) Thanks for watching and your support!
@@urbexindigo5164 I’m a long time viewer…..I regret not asking you once to explore my Great Grandmothers house that sat on top of a hill on the Maroondah Hwy in Bonnie Doon Vic ( because I know you’re a Vic boy born and bred👍🏽)
But it’s gone now 😭
In the 1950’s It was taken to the top of the hill on the back of a truck, just in time before Brankeet Creek was flooded to make what is now Lake Eildon in the 1950’s….
It was a little cottage that I know you would have loved and documented with pride…..👍🏽
@@artiiione9996 Oh no :-( It would have sat so proudly up on the hill? My Grandfather used to move houses like that at that time also. I would definitely have love to document that old home! bummer :-(
@@urbexindigo5164 maybe your Grandfather helped my Great Grandfather move his house!!! 💪🏼lol
But thanks again for all you do…Your viewers really appreciate it!!!👍🏽🌟
Yes the third house would have a formal living room, and a Den/family room! The first two house’s seemed very “spooky”… Great videos today! Those flowers still blooming at the 3rd house…beautiful!
Wow great finds here mate, haha yeah Grow house for sure-- "Because i randomly love cutting holes in my ceiling and floor for fun" and the miracle silver tape stops the government from listening to my thoughts, hehehe as usual love your vids and looking forward to the next adventure Cheers MM :)
All Great finds...
3rd house beautiful with the flowers.
Loved the "quirky " features.
It was once loved... ☹
The First home has the kind of history you can almost feel the 100 years of occupation in the atmosphere. The Second is barely post war, late 40's those built ins are the tip off. The third is a almost UN-altered 70's form, the indoor/outdoor feel to the common room tells me a lot about the more casual lifestyle of the day. Good finds, good job recording the features. Cheer.
Ouch,thats a bad scratch on your arm,needs ointment. Thanks for the tour. 😀💋🇺🇸
The 3rd home had some nice flowers. I'm fascinated with the bird sounds in your videos,would love to see what they look like. 😀
Just remembering that scratch makes me a little queasy it must hurt like crazy!
First house, I love that they kept the corner cupboard in the bathroom. Didn't like that the original windows were changed.
Second house absolutely my kind of style, loved the metal gates between the garage and back of the house. Also the built in kitchen cupboards and the nautical swinging door, the gorgeous fireplace and Deco features throughout. However Paul you totally missed the "milkdoor" both on the side of the house and inside the kitchen. Not many of these yesteryear features remain in Aussie homes when milk would be delivered.
Third house was great and I'm looking forward to seeing more 70s homes and even 80s homes if possible. Thanks for all your time and efforts as always 🙏
I really like the front porch on first house,the second house the cabinets,the third I like it all the windows ,doors,wallpaper and the looks from the outside as well.You did it again👍❤️🇺🇸
Be careful, there could be homeless people in the house. I was watching another chanel. There was somebody in the house. When these guys were looking around. Also take care of yourself and that cut on your arm.
The third house must have had an enthusiastic gardener living there.The wall paper would not be my choice though, but back in the '70's it was popular.
What a contrast between all three Adelaide suburban houses. The original Bungalow would have been such a lovely spacious family home back in time. Thanks again Paul for an interesting explore.
Incredible the amount of abandoned homes there are in Adelaide.😊😊
One can imagine that first home, with either young lower management or entry-level professionals inhabiting the newly constructed neighborhood reflecting the 'prosperity period' of the early 20th century, the second a bit more affordable for the emerging 'middle class' following the economic downturn that was the Great Depression in the USA as the mid-century mark approached (looks like it was used as a grow operation in recent years judging by the holes in the living and front room ceilings) and finally, middle class prosperity realized and manifested with the final home in the latter half of the last century. One question: is weed legal anywhere in Australia, yet?
I must start off with a big thank you from 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦. I have fallen in love with watching these videos. I have been laid up for awhile and just happened to find this site. Thank you to the young man showing us some lovely homes from Australia. I’m so glad you have so much knowledge about the houses and able to articulate so well. It’s all very informative. I love movies and tv shows from down under. Thank you again. Cheers
You are so welcome Dachsey10 :-) And welcome to the channel. I love finding and showing these homes to you guys. I have a 2 hour special coming this weekend about a hidden cottage I found along with all the family history :-)
I loved the '70s house and the kitchen in the second house.
Brilliant job, as always, Paul. You sounded like you had a bit of a cold? My fave was the first home...Love the history. Third home had a lovely garden. Keep well......
The Art Deco hall arch in the 2nd house, is very late 1940's. The 1970's house front door leadlights is an old fashioned amber glass from the early 1900's & still in use today / the other amber glass patterns you often see in your adventures, are from the 1960's /1970's = the circles (Amber Bullion) & the triangles (Amber Losenged), both had their heyday in the mid 1960's to the mid 1970's.(Bullion & Losenged patterns also came in clear /white + green)
The pink Pepto-Bismol walls in the big room and the bright yellow in the room next to it are kinda startling in the first house😯. Loved the kitchen in the second, and wish the flowers in the yard of the third house could be saved. I have a cousin who lives in Australia / Hawaii. She and her family came back to US for business and to visit the relatives. I was telling them about your videos of Adelaide and the oldest daughter said “that’s where I was born”! So I said they should watch Urbex Indigo. 💖💖😊
1st house wasn't much.
2nd house, loved the deep green bath and that pink light fitting.
3rd house it was the living and family rooms.
Aw! Your poor arm! Ouch!
As always, fascinating explore!
#3 was great!!!! Why don't they build them to last?? They cost twice as much but you get less than half the quality ,What did you you do to your arm. It looks painful!!
The corner fireplace is wonderful.
All three interesting homes for different reasons. I really liked the back yard of the last house with the blooming pink flowers. Also, the small tree that was staked to help it grow straight. A person that enjoyed gardening must have lived there💚
Good morning Paul, another great explore,these houses had their own interesting features the second one ,that kitchen and those doors ,they were perfect for a movie I enjoyed so much this explore , thank you for a great Sunday morning , always Here to support you 🤗 From a Frenchy in Australia 🇫🇷🇦🇺👍👍👍👍
G,Day Paul Metters made heaps of stove and also WindMills in the day for farm water etc lovely homes as always...cheers
The first 2 were nice houses but had a cracking problem with some unwanted guests, the third one was nice but a tad too modern, they all had some nice features tho.
I really love the large lots, and the smaller homes. There is so much you can do with all that land. Something I've never asked you about, Paul- what are the covenence like, there? The HOA's? Do they change with transfer of ownership? In so many of your video's I see chickencoops' and other animal cages, and I keep meaning to ask you about it. Oh, and you almost had it- "til that last bird, lol. SMH...- SDK
I always wonder if one day in your comments someone says “ I used to live in that house”.
I loved the 70s house as it reminded me of visiting friends houses when I was a school kid. The 70s house could definitely be restored and lived in. Thanks for your exploration.
It has happened twice now Julie! :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 That’s amazing.
My favorite weekend video!!
You're the best, I love the respect you show for these old homes...
They also definitely prove how boring my 70's rectangle is. 😉
Not that many houses like yours here in central California....
That's one helluva scrape on your arm!!
Here we go ,, back from Adelaide n three weeks worth to watch ,, awesome.
Enjoy mate! I have an epic doco on an old cottage next week too! :-)
LOVE that last house and garden. The arch around the bath was beautiful :)
Enjoyed watching this. I really liked the first home, the second one is doomed sadly and the third one had aspects I liked with the garden, the bath was too low otherwise a cool house. Thanks Paul :)
would be happy to give you locations to 3 houses next to one another, went exploring there today
All of them where Nice.
Looked like bloody foot prints in the hallway, in I think 2nd home
Great videos 👍 amazing how you come across grow houses 🏘️. The amber glass from the sixties and seventies and the carpets at that time ..shag carpeting ..ha ,ha ,and they did get into the Spanish look ..sixties and seventies were good times.
Thank you 😊
Wow nice facades love the grill work and the old style doors I agree definitely a grow room in the second house your a good detective! All the holes in the ceiling were a giveaway, nice bathroom shame about the basin rotten idiots can’t understand it. Shame about the termites. The third house is beautiful love the facade and the garden 🪴 I’d say that stove would have cooked many good meals in its time very spacious maybe a large family would have lived there. Thank you, looking forward to the next video/explore wherever that takes us :-) :-)
The woodwork and floors in the first house was beautiful!
Yep I have to agree there Mini`s Girl :-) Thanks for watching
These gorgeous old homes are time capsules. There survivors. Sad to see them in that state
The low tub was called a garden tub or sunken tub. The first house was spooky. Had some bad mojo. The second looked like it was a cute place at one time. I liked the 70s house. You can have the 70s wallpaper though. The seventies appliances gave a lot of average homes a great upgrade. My mom had a fifties kitchen but the new appliances gave her glam. Too bad when they tear down they displace the wildlife that's probably made that their home for many years.
Wow all those houses look spooky. Great explore 😍😍😍😍
3rd house was my favorite, I loved it,
was just the neighbour hacking up a lung... lol... thats a decent cut on your arm! poor bugger..
Haha. Yeah the scratch is from a barbed wire fence earlier in the year :-)
A really interesting mix of different style of houses over the years, each one had parts I liked and then got the shudders with the wallpaper in the seventies house, I think I like that one the best. Arched doorways were also very popular as well and that led a bit to the open plan style that can in later. Great video take care, that scratch must of hurt xxx
Love the first bungalow, some really nice features and absolutely loved the kitchen cabinet in the second house 🥰
Good Sunday morning
As per usual another great video
Think the first house could be restored to its former glory
But I bet developers will fix them right up to be concrete eyesores 😊🇦🇺
I ❤this channel so much, it just keeps getting better. Thank you for all your amazing work Urbex Indigo. I really liked the spaciousness of 1st house and the wooden door/window frames, reminded me of the 1920s art deco homes but sadly they were not original. The spacious entrance was impressive imo as were the big cracks in the walls 😉. The second house had seen better days 🤐. The 3rd house had a homely feel. I really loved the garden and yard, the big open rooms and the cosy kitchen with range hood...also that heater was nice...would have scrubbed up well with some love BUT sadly it's not meant to be.
Hi Annie! :-) Thanks so much, I am glad you are enjoying the channel. Many more videos to come :-)
I loved the first house and if it was renovated back to its former glory it would be an amazing home ... I would be more than happy to purchase it ... more great content and I love the longer videos ... I hope you realise just how much we all appreciate the dedication and time you put in each of your downloads ... please continue to stay safe out there dear man.
Another awesome video as always, and I always give 👍 enjoy all of your videos. Can’t wait for the next one have a great day 😊
Thanks! You too Crystal Thanks for watching :-)
Is there a reason why so many homes have cracks in walls? Love your videos . I watch all of them and love seeing your country.
Hi Sara :-) Adelaide sits on reactive clay type soil which expands and contracts with the seasons which caused the foundations to move. The early homes were not built to counter that problem well.
love the build in in the kitchen on the second one
Great explore on the old houses 🏘️😀. Love the 3rd house the best 👌 take care 😍💕🙂❤💗
That is a nasty scratch on your arm ... do take care!
They were all nice homes in very different ways, my favorite was the second one, love Art Deco and that door with the port hole from the kitchen had a vintage Diner feel. Too bad it was turned into a grow house, but was left less damaged than most of them you have found. Oh that bird, he seemed a bit miffed, lol.
Hi Evelyn :-) Glad you like the 2nd home too! Cheers for watching :-)
Floral fiasco,Neolithic 🤪😜
Do you ever walk into a house and you get that feeling the house was not loved, ever? Also, is it now “winter” in Australia?
i get that vibe some times. i feel it when i see it in the energy.
We've just moved to Spring in Oz ... from September 1st. For us, Summer arrives on December 1st.
Love the kitchen in the 2nd house
that first house with the mustard toilet I have a mustard bath and those same little brown floor tiles
Pretty cool Kim, i have never seen that color before :-)
do you have an email address?
Love this video buddy ❤
05:32 I like the pink wall
Great triple tour! Scratch on your arm looks wicked!
Fatally floral. You made me laugh at that. I really liked that second house. I do wonder how you manage to find all the grow houses though. I could imagine how that house might have looked in its heyday. I think it would have been beautiful. Thanks for another great explore.
I live in Adelaide also and there are a lot of grow houses I suspect. You only have to go for a walk through suburban streets of an evening and can smell the strong scent of 'plants' from certain homes lol
I enjoyed your video, like ALWAYS! Liked the cool, hanging lamp shade and the port hole in the door. Thank you. Please stay safe, take care, God bless you. Have a nice evening.
One thing I've noticed about Australia--every house has a designated laundry. Why didn't they think of that in the U.S..? All our older homes left that out and you have to fit it in where ever you can--basement, bathrooms, kitchen, etc. Dah! Were your houses all designed by women?(:
Loving the bungalow....she could be quite a beautiful home someday. With the wood trims, floorboards, doors shes got so much more life in her id say!
The second property held more promise than the outside suggested, apart from the fact that it had been used as a grow house the original 50's kitchen was a great find and I am very pleased that you got to document this, also in this house the original colour of the bathroom was great to see. The 70's house was a good capture of a time period, the arches are so typical, just one favour to ask: please could you hold the camera still for a couple of seconds on any patterns that you come across eg the wall paper in this particular case. I love to examine any patterns and often go back to freeze frame them so that I can pick up the detail. Many thanks Paul great video as I have come to expect from you.
Disappointing Paul we wait all week to see your next explore every Sunday have a relaxing day off
I know this question has probably been asked 100's of times. Why are the doorknobs so high on the doors?
Great question Lab rat and I will do a video on this as it gets asked a bit. In short the door handles were all on the low side of the doors up until about 1915 when the trend went to the higher side. At least here in Australia :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 Some say it was a trend to have the handles high and others say it was to stop children from opening the doors. It started in Federation houses and those built before World War II. That's all I know about it.
@@laineb8018 yep the federation era stopped using the old cast iron rim locks low placed on the doors and went with the higher placed mortice locks that slotted inside the actual doors. :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 thank you for your quick response. Your hallways are much wider as well. I like that idea alot.
Love the third home, so much great wall paper!! Thanks for the explores 🙂
Glad you like them Janelle :-) Thanks for watching
I'm imagining walking up, opening your eyes and the first thing you see is that wallpaper!!! Someone was once well proud of that choice. Funny how tastes change over time. I'm sure they'll be hating on our black fixtures of the moment one day. Paul, you need to fill us in on the scratch. 😳 Great videos as usual 👌👌👌
Hi Sarah! :-) Firstly the scratch happened earlier this year getting through a fence to a country explore haha, I have had these ones on file for a while. Yes that wall paper was...........saying something but it was too loud to hear haha :-)
Thanks for the reply, I'm sure the explore was worth the injury ...although painful.
What suburb was this ?
❤️🌹
I have to say that the second one was my favorite, even if they were growing the devil’s lettuce there. That kitchen is what was my favorite. I love the built in cabinets. Was that a milk door I saw on the outside wall of the kitchen under the fancy cupboard? I imagine they had milk delivery there at one time like we did. It looked like there was a water filtration system up on the wall of the laundry that the growers probably installed to help remove any chlorine or minerals from the city water. Have they not legalized pot there yet?
I loved this video! It was an interesting progression of houses on a timeline and I liked them all, overlooking the obvious flaws, of course.
The first house must have been a very cozy family home. Fixed up, it could still be very nice if the foundation isn’t an issue. The addition on the back was a little dicey, but perhaps that could either be removed or given better finishes. I’m usually not a fan of replacement windows, especially aluminum, but those were actually attractive and the bigger windows were pleasant.
The poor second home! Definitely post-war 40’s based on the kitchen. It’s a shame what happened to it. It looks like it was loved until an elderly owner died - probably someone who lived there for most of the life of the home - and then it suffered. That kitchen was fantastic, though! The cabinets and that built-in wall cupboard were amazing!! And the gorgeous green in the bathroom...
The last house could easily be made back into a very livable home. It’s got a nice layout and the exterior is lovely with the gardens, though it could do with some nicer garage doors!
Thanks for bringing us the homes you do. It’s a surprise every week! Love your channel!!
Hi Lucinda! :-) Glad you are enjoying these old homes and I enjoyed reading your assessment of them! Thanks for watching and I have many more videos to come! :-)
That music is so scary to me.It is perfect for these videos
I live in the US. I would like to see what a modern home in Australia looks like.
