Without your filming those wonderful older homes they would just totally dissapear like they never were ever buillt. What a well done job filming. If the homes could talk I bet they would say a quietly , "thank you for still showing that someone still cares about us one last time." Your filming of the older beauties here also make your viewers care & remember them. Thank you Paul for your careing and taking us on your walk-abouts.
Thanks Ruth, I`m really glad I got at least this one out of the 3, the other 2 went down 7 months ago unfortunately....I am glad you guys can still enjoy these homes too even if they are empty of things and furniture. Thanks for watching Ruth and I`m glad you enjoyed :-)
Developers don’t care about the old homes and that makes me mad because a lot of them can be restored that’s why I love watching your videos take care 😊
It is amazing to think that instead of restoring history they smash it down! lol. The dilemmas of cities busting at the seams! And profit mongering! Thanks for watching Country girl mcmahon, glad you are enjoying :-)
Pristine homes like the other two next door just getting knocked down as if a piece of garbage does boggle the mind Sherrie! lol :-) Money and renewal targets talk.......sad Thanks for watching :-)
I know Valerie it is a bit depressing seeing a string of these ones in a row gong down and yes this one is now half torn down.....I saw it yesterday and the interiors were not salvaged......the fireplaces just smashed to bits too........Furious. Usually these things get salvaged. Deadlines wait for no one or nothing it seems Valerie....Thanks for watching :-)
Hey Judith I must admit I have become fond of the 50`s homes too! I really am impressed about the emphasis on large open entertaining rooms and socializing. Glad you connect back to your upbringing with these homes! :-)
Love all the color & the tiles with little pics built in them. Tons of storage. Glad you were able to film it before it's gone, that way it's memory lives forever. Great explore. Thank you.
Strange layout. Some really cool Art Deco. I really hate when urban renewal has to invade residential areas. There is no chance for history to survive. That’s why it’s so important for people like you that take time out of your life to document these lovely homes. Thank you🌺🌺🌺
I found it a bit maze like too Dogsrule53, I think that locked room was another bathroom?? Yep sad to see such nice homes bulldozed and replaced with ugly things, glad you are enjoying these videos and thanks for watching :-)
Heartbreaking!💔 Just heartbreaking to see a lovely, beautiful place just to be leveled! It's almost stomach turning! Such a BEAUTIFUL place!😒😥 Thank you for this. Just sad!😳
Yep Val, thanks for watching as much as you could, it is very sad these homes are just torn down after all the years of impressing people and creating memories! Glad you watched :-)
I live in Adelaide and stumbled across your channel and subscribed immediately :) LOVE to see beautiful old homes in my home town. Thank you so much for keeping their memory alive
Hi Sweety Pie :-) Welcome to the channel, so glad to hear from locals and that you are enjoying these fantastic old homes. They do not make them like this anymore :-) Many more video to come :-)
This is without a doubt, one of my favorite videos that you have made, one of the reasons is because of the music that you use in the beginning of the video, as well as the beautiful old classic workmanship of the old homes. I think that the way that they used to build things is much better then the way that they build things today. So sad to see beautiful old architecture lost from so-called progress. Thank you so much for posting this video and sharing it with us. This is ultimately the video that made me decide to subscribe to your Channel and watch it on regular basis. Great video. Thanks, cheers
Amazing!!! I have walked past a lot of theses homes over the last 35 years and wondered what they looked like inside. I also like to look at abandoned houses and take photo's. Great work mate.Be mindful of asbestos in these old homes. Some of those old lino floors and lino wall tiles had Asbestos in them.
Hey Michael :-) Thanks for stopping bye! Thats awesome you know and have seen these ones, a lot of them still about to be redeveloped too. Keeping my eye on them :-) Glad you like documenting them as well, there are classic 50`s ones iv filmed still standing and abandoned near Kurrulta park shopping center on the others side ;-) Cheers for watching mate :-)
This place was by far one of the most interesting I've seen. I loved the art deco style of the place. That white fireplace was fabulous. Thanks so much for sharing this amazing place with us
Hi Judy thanks for watching and i`m really glad you enjoyed this one too! I did for sure! :-) Unfortunately 3 weeks after this video the whole place got demolished along with all the nice interiors and mantles........what a shame........
Hey Shelley can you imagine the huge parties that went on here! Even day events with the tennis court! Night time dinner parties and dancing in the ballroom! What an era to have lived in, when meeting and mingling with people was the way of life! :-) Thanks for your passion and for watching :-)
How are you? Wow, what a beautiful find, Its a classy 50s house. l like the fireplace. it makes me so sad to see it demolished. The big dance hall is great, and the kitchen. and the usual colours of green and pink. nice garden. what a shame i
Would have been some classy parties thrown here back in the day hey Kathleen :-) Would love to wind back the clock and see it in full swing :-) Yep massive shame it too will be leveled soon. Thanks for watching :-)
Hi Jennifer thanks for stopping bye! Glad you like these ones too! Shame this one is now completely demolished! But I am currently uploading a 1938 Art Deco Duplex which is about to be demo`d! Thanks for watching :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 I would love a kitchen like that! I big dining table and all that cupboard space where you could have a big family gathering and still be able to use the table!!
Huge house and I agree, dual purpose, a home and an eat-in venue of some sort. It's the most colourful house I've seen. As it turns out, a piece of land for one family becomes homes to many. That's what they call progress but I doubt we will look back on the current houses in 70 years' time and say wow, look at the craftsmanship. It's only MDF, pine and fibre cement mostly.
Hey Nessa! Thanks for watching, yep this one has now completely gone! flat dirt block now......Progress for developers hip pocket thats all......The replacement wont last near as long. :-)
Thats a beautiful old home, I love the pink in the kitchen and its so huge, I love the different colours throughout the home, someone had great taste. I would be proud to own a home like this and I feel very sad that it will soon be just a distant memory.
So sad to see these beautiful homes being able demolished! Each one of them filled with its own unique character - from the floors, to the fireplaces, to the colors of the cabinetry. Thanks for sharing. I love your videos.
Thanks Grace I appreciate your support! Very unique indeed, I really like the 50`s era and style of the homes , very happy houses! Glad you are still enjoying Grace, thanks for watching :-)
The fireplaces are gorgeous. The flooring is beautiful. They must have been caterers with that big kitchen. I hope they salvage all the beautiful tile. The plunger adds a nice touch. 😉 I love it!!
Hi Jane! :-) I loved this house and it was devo to see it demolished with all the interiors still in place.......even the mantles ......I will post pics of it sometime. Thanks for watching :-)
Well! I'm speechless. Beautiful place. Filmed beautifully. I really like watching your videos. None of that look at me bullshit, like the other so called Explorers. With respect for the history, and really telling a story and documenting it. keep up the good work ...thanks Indigo for sharing
Thanks for your support Fatiha I really appreciate it :-) I really enjoyed filming this one too! Glad you enjoy the way I do the videos, I like to the the story of the home and what ever else helps illustrate the scenario. :-)
So glad the owners kept the feel of the 50`s even if there were bright colors in those rooms! lol Those fireplaces were my fav haha Thanks for watching Vera :-)
That kitchen with those pastel colors reminded me of a 1950’s ice cream shop, made me smile. Happy vibe in there. Bedroom closets seemed to be an afterthought in 1950’s homes. They were all generally very tiny or nonexistant. In the end, in this case, it’s interesting that some architects in the ‘50’s were nostalgic to bring back the good old days of the 1920’s.
Hey typing dude that very well explained, I liked the mix of colors in the kitchen too, this home had a mix of thing going on but I really loved the fireplaces again! 20` and the 50`s are great eras for sure! Cheers for watching :-)
Hi Stephanie, thanks for watching and your support! Im glad you are enjoying. I do like to add as much info as avail to help illustrate what is going on. Speak soon :-)
So interesting! I wonder if it was a private club with a dining area that the huge kitchen would have cooked for. The big room with the huge mirrors looks to have been for ballet lessons & maybe a weekly dance floor for couples. The grounds had to have been amazing in their day. Or like you mentionrd, maybe it hosted wedding receptions, private parties, etc.. thanks for a great tour & explore. What I wouldn't give for that size kitchen! Thx again! 😉👍
Hi Marlene, yes a private club or catering business seems to be the favored explanation for this homes other purpose! Such a unique property and would have been quite the scene for social gatherings over the decades! Many options and events as you say too! Shame it will be gone soon! Thanks for for watching Marlene :-)
Wow this one was a beauty I'm not one for a lot of colour but I liked all the different shades wow wow for the Art Deco fireplace the kitchen is every females dream .I think the upper floor was a dance studio with the large mirror's You can't blame the owners wanting to move with a horrible building next door I bet these new buildings won't last as long I really liked this one even the gardens were unique and 50's thank you for finding this house xx
That Kitchen was really huge!!!! There must have been something in the middle surely?? lol Yeaf that block of units aint the best neighbor haha. This must have been quite the social gathering place for many years I could imagine!!! :-) A spot of tennis, then dining.....some wine and head up the the ballroom for some swing and jitterbug! haha Thanks for watching Rosa :-)
Oh that makes me so sick! Greed, greed, greed!! That should be illegal in a nice area like that. Homes here in the 50s are remodeled and sold. They aren't torn down unless it's the slums, then that's another story. Once again Paul your videos are awesome❣ Very nice living room. Oh wow the fireplace in the small bedroom, just gorgeous! Very beautiful on the outside as well. Oh again I'm coveting!! I hope they don't tear that house down. What a place to have grown up in. Holy cow the upstairs! What more can I say. I applaud you👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I wish I could tour with you some time❤ No, not in that way. Lol! I hope you are doing well. I've got my brother watching you now😊 He's the one I told you can build anything. I wish I could send you photos and even news footage of what he's done for the city of Dupage County, Illinois USA. As well as for me and the family. Now he's working on a 800,000$ home. You should see the front doors he made! Those doors are huge! Anyway I hope it's getting warm by you. It was 81° here in sunny Florida.🌞 Oh how I hate the heat, but this is nice weather. Take care now. Loves ya in a good way.💞
Hey Sandra thanks for watching! :-) But the even bigger disappointment is that I drove past this yesterday and the demolition has started and I captured some of it on film and all of the interiors including the fireplaces were not saved! They were just smashing down everything we saw in the video! It looks as though if the deadline is up its up and no time is spent salvaging.......I have seen plenty of other homes get the things salvaged so maybe this one was one of the unfortunate exceptions.......I wish they could just let them be restored and have talented craftsman like your brother details and reproduce the themes needed to do so! Bummer!!!! Been very hot here Sandra, but has cooled a bit and even rain today! Finally lol :-)
This one goes on my top 5 fav list too Angela! :-) Just the overall property was unique but very much a that 50`s time period when entertaining and socializing was the thing to do! Thanks for watching :-)
A great sized property for a young family as there's plenty of room to more. It's a credit to the previous owners for its great condition and amazing cleanliness.
Seems like the owner or owners over the decades stayed pretty true to keeping that period feel Tim. A few bright colors were added here and there though! lol :-)
Oh that pink in the bathroom was what my grandfather used to tile the bathroom when he built the upstairs bathroom. Pink tiles, sink, tub and toilet. Let me tell you I had fun removing those tiles with my aunt when we renovated prior to grandma selling that house. Grandpa was a WWII vet who built the home from the foundation up himself upon his return while working as he did before the war as a Bell phone lineman. Talented man he was. Wow that brings back some memories!
Hey Lex! Soooo many cupboards!!! All empty too! lol Dance studio I totally agree with ya, went passed it today and the roof tiles have been removed so it will be gone very soon. Cheers for watching :-)
amazing intro; and ur camera work & narration just get better & better ! exquisite house, all the best of art deco, inside & out. thanks so much for taking us along on this great explore. i see iv'e missed some of ur latest vids, so i will merrily go & hunt for them now. keep exploring, keep safe & God bless :) :) nancy in ga usa
Thanks for the kind words Nancy, I really enjoy trying to improve and make decent videos! :-) So glad I got this one after missing the other two! I know of another huge Tudor one just sold, will keep close eye on it :-) Glad you are enjoying, speak soon Nancy :-)
This is a crying shame that homes of this character and quality are being destroyed and replaced by places completely lacking in personality. They don’t come more classically 50s than this one. The colour palette is perfectly awful, but also perfectly 50s Deco revival. Especially the coloured bathroom fixtures and tiles...all that is missing is the tinted loo rolls. That really is a huge kitchen by anyone’s standards, even given that there was usually a family table and chairs in there for everyday use. It has been kept in fairly pristine condition all these years and now the Philistines are on their way to knock it all down. That fireplace was superb, with the sculpted carpet...you can visualize a cocktail party in full swing in that room. Beautiful house in every detail, thanks for documenting it before it’s gone forever. These people were living large and house proud that’s for sure. Great job as usual.🖤🇨🇦
Hey Tamarra, cheers for stopping bye! Yep massive shame and today i saw the roof tiles are gone so it will not be long til it is completely leveled.... Haha the colors were many indeed!!!!! Loved the fireplace and at least the nice interior features will be saved. Yep totally can imaging great parties going on in here over the decades! What a time. Thanks for watching :-0
Omg !!! Love the kitchen and the colours 👍 I can’t believe the tiles in the laundry ! How sparkly clean are they !!!! Ama ing house ! Sure is sad that it will be demolished . Unfortunately that’s progress
The tiles were very clean Katrina and I think that laundry may have once been a bathroom as it had the soap dish in the wall? Also I think the locked room may have been a bathroom too. Progress has claimed this unique 50`s property dam it.......Progress lol Thanks for watching :-)
Art Deco! Pedestal sinks are coming back. Now that’s a kitchen! You can sure tell when it was built. Upgraded of course. They might’ve just liked to cook? The doors are gorgeous! The whole house has a air of opulence. The fireplaces are fabulous. The white one is worth a large sum of money. Mother in laws quarters. Or a party room?
This one now gone too! The fireplaces were not saved, I watched and filmed them getting demolished.........Angry!!!!! Yes the upstairs would have served all of those purposes I think. Thanks for watching :-)
Hey Beverly :-) Yes the more 50`s homes I see this becomes so obvious and it is great to think about in comparison to the dinky little dwelling that get built now where neighbors do not even know each others names. Thanks for watching :-0
Love love this house !!! The kitchen is a dream ! The art deco fire place is amazing ! It is a shame to demolish such beauty ! Thanks for sharing! N👍🇨🇦
Beautiful old house, that kitchen cabinets very unique, love the 50's art decor designs and the colors, the other two houses were beautiful too,they was loving home and huge land, sadly had been demolished by the developers, the new building modern but can't compared to the old house.
Thanks for watching Ivy :-) This is one of my favorites now, the whole property was amazing and I could image it being a very social and entertaining place with many happy memories over the decades! The modern dinky homes just do not have the character and charm......bloody developers! :-)
Great find Paul! I liked the 2 next to it also. It makes me wonder if this home started as a family home and then sold to someone who added the tennis court, water features and the other building. The kitchen in pink and grey seems way to large for a normal house. But the small green cupboards seem more size appropriate. And the first area to enter. But it also seemed like it wasn't supposed to be there.... I liked the teal bathroom sink, it was so cute and the toilet. Odd to have to travel to the other side of the house just to go to the bathroom. The blue room seemed like a wardrobe room/closet, because that 1 door wouldn't hold anything! I really liked the curved rooms and ceilings. That one inlaid print on the ceiling was so cool. The fireplace was cool, the art deco surround was no match for its tiny counter part in the next room. The tiny fireplace bricks seemed odd with the high gloss. Great explore & glad there weren't any surprises in there!
Hey Wendy thanks for watching! One thing is for certian, this proprty is very unique!! Interesting layout inside, a bit of a maze too! I think the locked room was another bathroom? with the tub I think. Many cool features kept in place to preserve the 50`s feel. Glad I at least got one out of these 3 Wendy , cheers for watching :-)
Yep a fair few others have also said that is a reasonable possibility for this home. It has been completely demolished now unfortunately........Bummer. :-)
Hi Paul! Another exceptional job of both narration and filming my friend!... I love these homes built in the 50's, though I enjoy each one you have filmed, as there is so much history behind them. That is indeed one huge kitchen in that house. I love both the fireplaces, but the white one is my favorite. That room it is in needs a jukebox right next to it-LOL! Oh, neat song you were playing also. I had never heard that one before. Well you enjoy your week, and I'll be looking forward to your next video... Your friend across the "BIG" pond, Chuck
Hey Chuck!!! Yes a juke box cranking it the 50`s classics would be awesome in there! I love the history and wish I could have found some more details on the timeline of this beauty. The kitchen was Huge!!!!! lol Fireplaces were my Fav, the entire property was unique and im glad you enjoyed this one chuck, thought you would :-) Thanks for watching
nice paul like the style of the house with the huge style kitchen which i have never seen before i rent in a private house and the kitchen is nothing compared to what you showed in this video its amazing some houses back in the 50s were huge in size and the old style open fire places art deco as you say are really nice keep them coming paul great job.
This house seemed a bit higgetty piggetty... what a gorgeous fire place Can’t say I really liked this house but it was interesting having a look and the upstairs Indy I was thinking a dance studio too once I saw the huge mirrors.thanks for showing us around and look forward to the next time 👍
Hey Greg, yes a maze like set up I felt while in the middle section! Your correct about the upstairs too I think, very much dance orientated . Shame such a large unique property will become a boring cement building.......Thanks for watching :-)
Lovely home built in the Miami art deco style. Loved it, and the water works were a nice added touch. I wish the place had been maintained better on the outside, but still a great find. You don't find many of these anymore.
Good call Todd :-) I really enjoy this style of home, the outside was indeed a bit ragged and tired , I think it was a lot of money to maintain in later years. Shame it will be gone soon! Thanks for watching :-0
Hey Laura thanks heaps for your support! Really appreciate it. Been very hot and sunny here Laura, hottest on record!!!! Finally rain today!!!!! haha Got another cool little video uploading now :-)
Ohh wow I luv this old beautiful home it has lots of storage and I luv that huge kitchen!! Also luv the fireplaces you definitely don't ever see them like this!! Thank you for saving something about this beautiful place. I think I would have to try and take them couple of tiles that were in the kitchen they were beautiful they are just going to destroy them anyway...thank you very much!!..Not really I wouldn't take what's not mine...I might go up to the people destroying the house and ask them about them...well anyway thank you for sharing your video and I would definitely say 50's !! Love and light! Stay safe
I would not hold it against you for taking the tiles haha :-) Some things deserve to be salvage and loved again. I`m sure I will come across something in my travels that will tempt me! haha. The kitched was ridiculously huge!!!!! so many cupboards....what and how to fill them? lol Thanks for your support again, and for watching :-)
This house would have been gorgeous back in it’s time! I love the Artdeco features, and water feature out back. Ahhhh such a shame and sad to see more lovely homes being demolished. Great vid! 👍🏽
Hey Rachel, thanks for stopping bye! :-) Yep seems the owners who get the money are already thinking about the next big home to buy with that cash!!!!! lol. Shame we lose that period and build quality though.......
No worries, it was my pleasure! 😊 It would be interesting to know what they did with $, but yeah very sad this gem will be lost forever soon. That makes you finding them and your vids even more important, now recorded for history. Let’s hope we don’t lose them all.
Really beautiful place. I'm thinking maybe a country club or something before the end. Definitely a stately home at one time. Such a shame to see all 3 homes gone. At least you have documented the history before it's too late. I love that you respect the home and take care as you explore each one. So many others do not. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos! Cheers until next time Paul!
Hey Lea, a few others have also said private or country club and it does have that more than a home feel to it. Yep I`m glad I at least got this one out of the 3 but i`m sure there will be more......Bittersweet! lol Thanks for your support and watching :-)
Hey Joanna! :-) It sure did look like a club or something for entertaining! These 50`s homes really go all out for the social events! I love it :-) Thanks for watching :-)
Oh lord how mercy......beautiful home!!! These homes can be restored. Now the land developers want to take that one also and make a business out of it. What is the businesses don't make a profit? Those old homes can be restored and sold and or rented out. Please keep posting the videos I love those old homes.
Anita you have raised great questions others are wondering about too. :-) I guess the renewal targets and need to be met and if the local councils decide a daycare center is needed in that area then that may influence the need to demolish existing dwellings, the developers always get their profit but if the business does not then they sell and someone else takes a shot at new biz. Also councils decide where the renewal corridors will be and in Adelaide the target range is homes built before 1960.......This iconic stretch of road links the bay to the city and its filled with homes built before 1960 so there are going to be so many more of these old ones go down. Thanks for watching :-)
I'm so glad you got to document this vintage beauty. At least there will be video to testify to its existence in the future. There are now some websites here in the states that celebrate "vanished past photos memories and videos." Hope you are having a good summer. Our winter here in Michigan has been strange. Last week record lows, wind chill temperatures -40° farenheit, for days in a row and over a foot of snow. This week we'll have temperatures 32 to 40+ degrees with rain.
Hi Lynne, that makes me happy there are website popping up dedicating to past existence of such things and history. More and more biting the dust and i`m glad explorers are out finding them! :-) Thanks for showing your support and passion to the cause also Lynne! :-)
Wow, that place was huge. Definitely love the fireplaces, the character of the whole place! A real shame not to save this home only to be replaced with a concrete jungle!! And they call this progress? I bet the few remaining home owners aren't pleased to live in a business section now. Thanx
Yes ......so called progress Gerald :-) Very unique property and layout of this old beauty. Yep this stretch will become a very sterile looking hwy which is renown for it`s marvelous old homes..........travesty!!!! Thanks for watching :-)
Sometimes workers will lock their tools in a closet or small room! I used to lock my cleaning supplies in closets ,if I was cleaning on a very large job. Love these last shots of these beautiful old homes!This place was amazing! Thanks for the video!👍🙋🕊️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Very good point L L and I think that room was another bathroom? As the other shower and toilet were jammed in between a sun room and the Kitchen did you notice! lol It was locked with a key so I think your right :-)
Holy Hell ..... I don't think I've ever seen a kitchen that big in a residential house! It definitely wasn't a commercial kitchen as it only had 1 stove & 1 cooktop, & didn't have a dishwasher or enough bench tops. It was just spacious!
Once again, awesome video! Man I love these beautiful vintage 50s homes! I'll so pay you to get those curtains! lol.. seriously though, I love them. Harder to find that stuff here in the U.S.A. That kitchen is SO kick ass! Man what I could do with that! Anyway, keep up the great work! Keep it classy!
Cheers for the support 2brokeguyz! :-) I love these old 50`s more and more now!!! Such a party and socially alive era!!! The curtains I will go back and look at in the video haha, may be worth asking about :-) The kitchen was MASSIVE and colorful, it was like a school training kitchen or for catering dinner parties??? Stay classy too ! Thanks :-)
Huge kitchen beautiful! I could just imagine the people who lived there having big family get together on holidays. Kids running around trying to get a cookie or other sweets!
Awesome house. So much time and hard work went into building these houses. They still had an eye for detail in those days. And that garden, well i liked everything about this tour. The electrical outlets are they still the same now? 5:28 They look funny. I have some travel plugs cause here in Holland we have two round holes. I've seen the rectangular holes but these are not straight like in England, I have not seen a travel plug in the stores here for this one. I love the bathroom tiles that are built into the wall with a hook 4:31 or soapdish 4:40 and toilet roll holder. 4:25 They don't use those annymore, shame. Usually I watch the videos twice. (if they are good and they are :-) The first time all the way and the second time at my own pace to watch everything. So sorry when I write about the small details that seem obvious to someone else. Thanks for the tour, had a great time again watching.
Hey Ellice yes rectangular plug holes are unique to Australia and we have 240volt power also :-) Better get a travel plug for those Ellice, never know hey? :-) I like hearing all about the small details Ellice so please write about all the things you like, :-) I have a feeling the locked room was another bathroom with the tub in it? Glad i got to film here before it goes soon! Thanks for watching :-0
@@urbexindigo5164 I had friends living in London and when I was there for the weekend they showed me a trick. The function of the bottom hole of the socket only allows the other two to open, so if I put a stick or something in the bottom, I can use a dutch narrow plug which is usually on chargers or toilet accessories without an adapter. Just a tip. :-) That does not apply to Australian sockets i think so i'll have to purchase that indeed. I thought the same thing about the locked room.
Really huge kitchen. It gives you the feeling that maybe this was more than a home. Either a wealthy family lived there or perhaps functioned as something else. I love these old style homes especially with that curved touch. So sad to see it go.
Definitely seems to be a function type set up Sally :-) Amazing old place and such a shame it could not be restored and kept.....I can picture it way back in the day full of people partying and enjoying the simpler times. :-)
Hi NewEarthWellness thanks for watching :-) Yes very sad and I saw the roof tile being taking off today while driving passed.....not long til gone.....
It is a very classy era Jacky, and blends really well witht the 50`s era too! Soooo many cupboards Jacky! lol Yes the kitchen was extraordinary too! Thanks for watching :-)
Without your filming those wonderful older homes they would just totally dissapear like they never were ever buillt. What a well done job filming.
If the homes could talk I bet they would say a quietly , "thank you for still showing that someone still cares about us one last time."
Your filming of the older beauties here also make your viewers care & remember them.
Thank you Paul for your careing and taking us on your walk-abouts.
Thanks Ruth, I`m really glad I got at least this one out of the 3, the other 2 went down 7 months ago unfortunately....I am glad you guys can still enjoy these homes too even if they are empty of things and furniture. Thanks for watching Ruth and I`m glad you enjoyed :-)
Developers don’t care about the old homes and that makes me mad because a lot of them can be restored that’s why I love watching your videos take care 😊
It is amazing to think that instead of restoring history they smash it down! lol. The dilemmas of cities busting at the seams! And profit mongering! Thanks for watching Country girl mcmahon, glad you are enjoying :-)
These properties were beautiful. My heart aches seeing them demolished. 😢 good you were there to capture as much as you could.
Hi N L thanks for watching, yes glad to have been able to get this one! Shame I MISSED the other two dam it!!! lol That tudor one was amazing too! :-)

Simply stunning....TYVM for taking us along! 🏘
Glad you enjoyed Pammi, thanks for watching :-0
So sad. Neighborhoods created with care and craftsmanship removed to make way for some cheaply built moneymakers! Thanks for sharing before the fall.
Love all the color & the tiles with little pics built in them. Tons of storage. Glad you were able to film it before it's gone, that way it's memory lives forever. Great explore. Thank you.
Storage was off the charts here Tamara! lol And all empty too! Glad I got it too, shame it will be gone soon! Thanks for watching ;-)

Thank you for showing the few Art Deco homes on the outside, which I totally love.😍
Strange layout. Some really cool Art Deco. I really hate when urban renewal has to invade residential areas. There is no chance for history to survive. That’s why it’s so important for people like you that take time out of your life to document these lovely homes. Thank you🌺🌺🌺

Yep Val, thanks for watching as much as you could, it is very sad these homes are just torn down after all the years of impressing people and creating memories! Glad you watched :-)
I live in Adelaide and stumbled across your channel and subscribed immediately :) LOVE to see beautiful old homes in my home town. Thank you so much for keeping their memory alive
Hi Sweety Pie :-) Welcome to the channel, so glad to hear from locals and that you are enjoying these fantastic old homes. They do not make them like this anymore :-) Many more video to come :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 awesome look forward to it!!!
This is without a doubt, one of my favorite videos that you have made, one of the reasons is because of the music that you use in the beginning of the video, as well as the beautiful old classic workmanship of the old homes. I think that the way that they used to build things is much better then the way that they build things today. So sad to see beautiful old architecture lost from so-called progress. Thank you so much for posting this video and sharing it with us. This is ultimately the video that made me decide to subscribe to your Channel and watch it on regular basis. Great video. Thanks, cheers
Very nice! I love that old style of home!
Amazing!!! I have walked past a lot of theses homes over the last 35 years and wondered what they looked like inside. I also like to look at abandoned houses and take photo's. Great work mate.Be mindful of asbestos in these old homes. Some of those old lino floors and lino wall tiles had Asbestos in them.
Hey Michael :-) Thanks for stopping bye! Thats awesome you know and have seen these ones, a lot of them still about to be redeveloped too. Keeping my eye on them :-) Glad you like documenting them as well, there are classic 50`s ones iv filmed still standing and abandoned near Kurrulta park shopping center on the others side ;-) Cheers for watching mate :-)
Beautiful home. Glad you were able to document it before the developers demolished it. Thank you for another great video!
Me too Brittany as I saw the roof tiles were gone off it today when driving passed . Glad you enjoyed seeing it , thanks for watching :-)
Wow a great home. Thanks for preserving history.
Glad you enjoyed Pamela! :-) I am glad I got to document this one! Thanks for watching :-)
This place was by far one of the most interesting I've seen. I loved the art deco style of the place. That white fireplace was fabulous. Thanks so much for sharing this amazing place with us
Hi Judy thanks for watching and i`m really glad you enjoyed this one too! I did for sure! :-) Unfortunately 3 weeks after this video the whole place got demolished along with all the nice interiors and mantles........what a shame........
My dream home.......The kitchen is amazing. The whole place is beautiful. I just wanna cry...
Hey Shelley can you imagine the huge parties that went on here! Even day events with the tennis court! Night time dinner parties and dancing in the ballroom! What an era to have lived in, when meeting and mingling with people was the way of life! :-) Thanks for your passion and for watching :-)
All that storage WOW. I love the Pink bathroom 😍 Kitchen from heaven ❤️ a woman's dream.
The kitchen was extraordinary Vonda!!!! I bet it would be a woman`s dream! :-)
How are you? Wow, what a beautiful find, Its a classy 50s house. l like the fireplace. it makes me so sad to see it demolished. The big dance hall is great, and the kitchen. and the usual colours of green and pink. nice garden. what a shame i
Would have been some classy parties thrown here back in the day hey Kathleen :-) Would love to wind back the clock and see it in full swing :-) Yep massive shame it too will be leveled soon. Thanks for watching :-)
I'm loving these 50's homes that you keep finding! I would love to see what the backyard looked like in it's prime.
Hi Jennifer thanks for stopping bye! Glad you like these ones too! Shame this one is now completely demolished! But I am currently uploading a 1938 Art Deco Duplex which is about to be demo`d! Thanks for watching :-)
So amazing! That kitchen would be a dream kitchen with all the cupboard space and colors!!💖
So that kitchen is not too big???? lol
@@urbexindigo5164 I would love a kitchen like that! I big dining table and all that cupboard space where you could have a big family gathering and still be able to use the table!!
Huge house and I agree, dual purpose, a home and an eat-in venue of some sort. It's the most colourful house I've seen. As it turns out, a piece of land for one family becomes homes to many. That's what they call progress but I doubt we will look back on the current houses in 70 years' time and say wow, look at the craftsmanship. It's only MDF, pine and fibre cement mostly.
Hey Nessa! Thanks for watching, yep this one has now completely gone! flat dirt block now......Progress for developers hip pocket thats all......The replacement wont last near as long. :-)
Thats a beautiful old home, I love the pink in the kitchen and its so huge, I love the different colours throughout the home, someone had great taste. I would be proud to own a home like this and I feel very sad that it will soon be just a distant memory.
Hi Jeanette this one was demolished 2 weeks after I filmed it. Another great old character home gone on ths strip. Thanks for watching :-)
So sad to see these beautiful homes being able demolished! Each one of them filled with its own unique character - from the floors, to the fireplaces, to the colors of the cabinetry. Thanks for sharing. I love your videos.
Thanks Grace I appreciate your support! Very unique indeed, I really like the 50`s era and style of the homes , very happy houses! Glad you are still enjoying Grace, thanks for watching :-)
What a shame.Large families should be living in those beautiful homes.Thank you for sharing with us.Enjoyed very much.
The fireplaces are gorgeous.
The flooring is beautiful.
They must have been caterers with that big kitchen.
I hope they salvage all the beautiful tile.
The plunger adds a nice touch. 😉
I love it!!
Hi Jane! :-) I loved this house and it was devo to see it demolished with all the interiors still in place.......even the mantles ......I will post pics of it sometime. Thanks for watching :-)
OMG. This is a awsome home!!!!!! I LOVE it ....so sad they are going to tear it down 😕
Dam shame indeed Suzie and I saw today they have started removing the roof tiles......Glad you loved it too! Thanks for watching :-)
The pink and green colors. The tiles...wow!
I have never seen art deco fire mantle so kewl!! Great find!!
One of the most stylish ones ive found Olivias, glad you like :-)
Well! I'm speechless. Beautiful place. Filmed beautifully. I really like watching your videos. None of that look at me bullshit, like the other so called Explorers. With respect for the history, and really telling a story and documenting it. keep up the good work ...thanks Indigo for sharing
Thanks for your support Fatiha I really appreciate it :-) I really enjoyed filming this one too! Glad you enjoy the way I do the videos, I like to the the story of the home and what ever else helps illustrate the scenario. :-)
The tiles on the kitchen wall are incredible!
Hi LeAnne thanks for watching. Yes many others have also stated they love those tiles! I loved the one with tthe Kangaroo on it! :-)
Would have been a lovely place back in the day. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure Sarah, thanks for watching and yes a very gran old home for sure! :-)
Such an amazing find with so many original features still in place.
So glad the owners kept the feel of the 50`s even if there were bright colors in those rooms! lol Those fireplaces were my fav haha Thanks for watching Vera :-)
That kitchen with those pastel colors reminded me of a 1950’s ice cream shop, made me smile. Happy vibe in there. Bedroom closets seemed to be an afterthought in 1950’s homes. They were all generally very tiny or nonexistant. In the end, in this case, it’s interesting that some architects in the ‘50’s were nostalgic to bring back the good old days of the 1920’s.
Hey typing dude that very well explained, I liked the mix of colors in the kitchen too, this home had a mix of thing going on but I really loved the fireplaces again! 20` and the 50`s are great eras for sure! Cheers for watching :-)
Hey urbex indigo! You always have great informative videos...Thanks for sharing👍
Hi Stephanie, thanks for watching and your support! Im glad you are enjoying. I do like to add as much info as avail to help illustrate what is going on. Speak soon :-)
Loved the fire place , and all those cupboards in the kitchen , great explore and sad
Hey Caroline is it possible to fill that many cupboards with kitchen things?????? lol :-) Thanks for watching
So interesting! I wonder if it was a private club with a dining area that the huge kitchen would have cooked for. The big room with the huge mirrors looks to have been for ballet lessons & maybe a weekly dance floor for couples. The grounds had to have been amazing in their day. Or like you mentionrd, maybe it hosted wedding receptions, private parties, etc.. thanks for a great tour & explore. What I wouldn't give for that size kitchen!
Thx again! 😉👍
Hi Marlene, yes a private club or catering business seems to be the favored explanation for this homes other purpose! Such a unique property and would have been quite the scene for social gatherings over the decades! Many options and events as you say too! Shame it will be gone soon! Thanks for for watching Marlene :-)
Thank you!!!
My pleasure Lori, thanks for watching :-)
Wow this one was a beauty I'm not one for a lot of colour but I liked all the different shades wow wow for the Art Deco fireplace the kitchen is every females dream .I think the upper floor was a dance studio with the large mirror's You can't blame the owners wanting to move with a horrible building next door I bet these new buildings won't last as long I really liked this one even the gardens were unique and 50's thank you for finding this house xx
That Kitchen was really huge!!!! There must have been something in the middle surely?? lol Yeaf that block of units aint the best neighbor haha. This must have been quite the social gathering place for many years I could imagine!!! :-) A spot of tennis, then dining.....some wine and head up the the ballroom for some swing and jitterbug! haha Thanks for watching Rosa :-)
Oh that makes me so sick! Greed, greed, greed!! That should be illegal in a nice area like that. Homes here in the 50s are remodeled and sold. They aren't torn down unless it's the slums, then that's another story.
Once again Paul your videos are awesome❣ Very nice living room. Oh wow the fireplace in the small bedroom, just gorgeous! Very beautiful on the outside as well. Oh again I'm coveting!!
I hope they don't tear that house down.
What a place to have grown up in.
Holy cow the upstairs! What more can I say. I applaud you👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I wish I could tour with you some time❤ No, not in that way. Lol!
I hope you are doing well. I've got my brother watching you now😊 He's the one I told you can build anything. I wish I could send you photos and even news footage of what he's done for the city of Dupage County, Illinois USA. As well as for me and the family. Now he's working on a 800,000$ home. You should see the front doors he made! Those doors are huge!
Anyway I hope it's getting warm by you. It was 81° here in sunny Florida.🌞 Oh how I hate the heat, but this is nice weather.
Take care now. Loves ya in a good way.💞
Hey Sandra thanks for watching! :-) But the even bigger disappointment is that I drove past this yesterday and the demolition has started and I captured some of it on film and all of the interiors including the fireplaces were not saved! They were just smashing down everything we saw in the video! It looks as though if the deadline is up its up and no time is spent salvaging.......I have seen plenty of other homes get the things salvaged so maybe this one was one of the unfortunate exceptions.......I wish they could just let them be restored and have talented craftsman like your brother details and reproduce the themes needed to do so! Bummer!!!!
Been very hot here Sandra, but has cooled a bit and even rain today! Finally lol :-)
Brings tears to your eyes, what a beautiful huge place, great work, keep exploring x
All the memories and good times in this place going to bite the dust too! Thanks for watching again Jacqueline :-)
This has to be one of my favorites 😍💖. Keep up the good work and amazing finds
This one goes on my top 5 fav list too Angela! :-) Just the overall property was unique but very much a that 50`s time period when entertaining and socializing was the thing to do! Thanks for watching :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 your welcome.
A great sized property for a young family as there's plenty of room to more. It's a credit to the previous owners for its great condition and amazing cleanliness.
Seems like the owner or owners over the decades stayed pretty true to keeping that period feel Tim. A few bright colors were added here and there though! lol :-)
Oh that pink in the bathroom was what my grandfather used to tile the bathroom when he built the upstairs bathroom. Pink tiles, sink, tub and toilet. Let me tell you I had fun removing those tiles with my aunt when we renovated prior to grandma selling that house. Grandpa was a WWII vet who built the home from the foundation up himself upon his return while working as he did before the war as a Bell phone lineman. Talented man he was. Wow that brings back some memories!
Beautiful fireplaces! And I like the exhaust fan in every room to help with the heat
Loved those scenic tiles in the kitchen, I would have popped those out!
Haha Bayla, yes others have expressed the same for those tiles! I did like the one with the Kangaroo in it! :-)
Hey there..have been too sick to get to watch your videos. I miss them. I am going to watch some tonight to cheer me up
Hey Sandy sorry to hear you have bee unwell. Hope you feel better and enjoy the videos! Speak again soon! :-)
This house is so great. I love all the pastels. I love everything about it. I think someone definitely taught dance upstairs.
Hey Lex! Soooo many cupboards!!! All empty too! lol Dance studio I totally agree with ya, went passed it today and the roof tiles have been removed so it will be gone very soon. Cheers for watching :-)
Huge house love the music u put on for each vedio great explore
Glad you enjoyed this one Velma! I had fun putting the music and clips together, such a nice home! :-)
amazing intro; and ur camera work & narration just get better & better ! exquisite house, all the best of art deco, inside & out. thanks so much for taking us along on this great explore. i see iv'e missed some of ur latest vids, so i will merrily go & hunt for them now. keep exploring, keep safe & God bless :) :) nancy in ga usa
Thanks for the kind words Nancy, I really enjoy trying to improve and make decent videos! :-) So glad I got this one after missing the other two! I know of another huge Tudor one just sold, will keep close eye on it :-) Glad you are enjoying, speak soon Nancy :-)
some really cool 50s stuff in this old home
This is a crying shame that homes of this character and quality are being destroyed and replaced by places completely lacking in personality. They don’t come more classically 50s than this one. The colour palette is perfectly awful, but also perfectly 50s Deco revival. Especially the coloured bathroom fixtures and tiles...all that is missing is the tinted loo rolls.
That really is a huge kitchen by anyone’s standards, even given that there was usually a family table and chairs in there for everyday use. It has been kept in fairly pristine condition all these years and now the Philistines are on their way to knock it all down.
That fireplace was superb, with the sculpted carpet...you can visualize a cocktail party in full swing in that room. Beautiful house in every detail, thanks for documenting it before it’s gone forever. These people were living large and house proud that’s for sure. Great job as usual.🖤🇨🇦
Hey Tamarra, cheers for stopping bye! Yep massive shame and today i saw the roof tiles are gone so it will not be long til it is completely leveled....
Haha the colors were many indeed!!!!! Loved the fireplace and at least the nice interior features will be saved. Yep totally can imaging great parties going on in here over the decades! What a time. Thanks for watching :-0
Omg !!! Love the kitchen and the colours 👍 I can’t believe the tiles in the laundry ! How sparkly clean are they !!!! Ama ing house !
Sure is sad that it will be demolished . Unfortunately that’s progress
The tiles were very clean Katrina and I think that laundry may have once been a bathroom as it had the soap dish in the wall? Also I think the locked room may have been a bathroom too. Progress has claimed this unique 50`s property dam it.......Progress lol Thanks for watching :-)
What a beauty the fireplace is beautiful
Best one fireplace I think I have seen along with one from last week! Cheers for watching Wilma :-)
Art Deco! Pedestal sinks are coming back. Now that’s a kitchen! You can sure tell when it was built. Upgraded of course. They might’ve just liked to cook? The doors are gorgeous! The whole house has a air of opulence. The fireplaces are fabulous. The white one is worth a large sum of money. Mother in laws quarters. Or a party room?
This one now gone too! The fireplaces were not saved, I watched and filmed them getting demolished.........Angry!!!!! Yes the upstairs would have served all of those purposes I think. Thanks for watching :-)
The decade where home and home entertainment......were king.
Hey Beverly :-) Yes the more 50`s homes I see this becomes so obvious and it is great to think about in comparison to the dinky little dwelling that get built now where neighbors do not even know each others names. Thanks for watching :-0
Love love this house !!! The kitchen is a dream ! The art deco fire place is amazing ! It is a shame to demolish such beauty ! Thanks for sharing! N👍🇨🇦
Beautiful old house, that kitchen cabinets very unique, love the 50's art decor designs and the colors, the other two houses were beautiful too,they was loving home and huge land, sadly had been demolished by the developers, the new building modern but can't compared to the old house.
Thanks for watching Ivy :-) This is one of my favorites now, the whole property was amazing and I could image it being a very social and entertaining place with many happy memories over the decades! The modern dinky homes just do not have the character and charm......bloody developers! :-)
The tiny room with the huge fireplace is the winter salon. :)
How wonderful it would have been to have seen this home in it’s heyday.
Another great find, the 50's style is my favorite. Thanks for the video
My pleasure Billy! Glad you enjoyed, I love these ones too! Thanks for checking it out! :-)
Great find Paul! I liked the 2 next to it also. It makes me wonder if this home started as a family home and then sold to someone who added the tennis court, water features and the other building. The kitchen in pink and grey seems way to large for a normal house. But the small green cupboards seem more size appropriate. And the first area to enter. But it also seemed like it wasn't supposed to be there.... I liked the teal bathroom sink, it was so cute and the toilet. Odd to have to travel to the other side of the house just to go to the bathroom. The blue room seemed like a wardrobe room/closet, because that 1 door wouldn't hold anything! I really liked the curved rooms and ceilings. That one inlaid print on the ceiling was so cool. The fireplace was cool, the art deco surround was no match for its tiny counter part in the next room. The tiny fireplace bricks seemed odd with the high gloss. Great explore & glad there weren't any surprises in there!
Hey Wendy thanks for watching! One thing is for certian, this proprty is very unique!! Interesting layout inside, a bit of a maze too! I think the locked room was another bathroom? with the tub I think. Many cool features kept in place to preserve the 50`s feel. Glad I at least got one out of these 3 Wendy , cheers for watching :-)
What an incredible building! Maybe the kitchen was built for catering? Thanks for sharing this incredible place before it's gone.
Yep a fair few others have also said that is a reasonable possibility for this home. It has been completely demolished now unfortunately........Bummer. :-)
Hi Paul! Another exceptional job of both narration and filming my friend!... I love these homes built in the 50's, though I enjoy each one you have filmed, as there is so much history behind them. That is indeed one huge kitchen in that house. I love both the fireplaces, but the white one is my favorite. That room it is in needs a jukebox right next to it-LOL! Oh, neat song you were playing also. I had never heard that one before. Well you enjoy your week, and I'll be looking forward to your next video... Your friend across the "BIG" pond, Chuck
Hey Chuck!!! Yes a juke box cranking it the 50`s classics would be awesome in there! I love the history and wish I could have found some more details on the timeline of this beauty. The kitchen was Huge!!!!! lol Fireplaces were my Fav, the entire property was unique and im glad you enjoyed this one chuck, thought you would :-) Thanks for watching
nice paul like the style of the house with the huge style kitchen which i have never seen before i rent in a private house and the kitchen is nothing compared to what you showed in this video its amazing some houses back in the 50s were huge in size and the old style open fire places art deco as you say are really nice keep them coming paul great job.
This house seemed a bit higgetty piggetty... what a gorgeous fire place
Can’t say I really liked this house but it was interesting having a look and the upstairs Indy I was thinking a dance studio too once I saw the huge mirrors.thanks for showing us around and look forward to the next time 👍
Hey Greg, yes a maze like set up I felt while in the middle section! Your correct about the upstairs too I think, very much dance orientated . Shame such a large unique property will become a boring cement building.......Thanks for watching :-)
Lovely home built in the Miami art deco style. Loved it, and the water works were a nice added touch. I wish the place had been maintained better on the outside, but still a great find. You don't find many of these anymore.
Good call Todd :-) I really enjoy this style of home, the outside was indeed a bit ragged and tired , I think it was a lot of money to maintain in later years. Shame it will be gone soon! Thanks for watching :-0
I love your videos. Definitely my favorite. I love sunny Australia.😎
Hey Laura thanks heaps for your support! Really appreciate it. Been very hot and sunny here Laura, hottest on record!!!! Finally rain today!!!!! haha Got another cool little video uploading now :-)
That mantle! Incredible. 👍👏
awesome find really enjoyed watching, I still think it was a boarding place, mayb kitchen being so large, nice in its days
Definitely seems to be more than a home Heather, wish I found some old info on its history! :-)
Hell yeah, the awesome art deco fire place in one room. This place is big. Community/catering business use?, going by the massive kitchen.
I think so too William. Definitely a function or gathering place at some point. :-)
Thank you for the explore. A great home but sad.
Glad you enjoyed this one Michele, yes very grand old place, sad to see it gone soon! :-)
Ohh wow I luv this old beautiful home it has lots of storage and I luv that huge kitchen!! Also luv the fireplaces you definitely don't ever see them like this!! Thank you for saving something about this beautiful place. I think I would have to try and take them couple of tiles that were in the kitchen they were beautiful they are just going to destroy them anyway...thank you very much!!..Not really I wouldn't take what's not mine...I might go up to the people destroying the house and ask them about them...well anyway thank you for sharing your video and I would definitely say 50's !! Love and light! Stay safe
I would not hold it against you for taking the tiles haha :-) Some things deserve to be salvage and loved again. I`m sure I will come across something in my travels that will tempt me! haha. The kitched was ridiculously huge!!!!! so many cupboards....what and how to fill them? lol Thanks for your support again, and for watching :-)
yeah I would say 50,s lovely old place and massive thank you
Classic 50`s :-) glad you enjoyed it Kim and thanks for stopping bye! :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 always like to show my support
This house would have been gorgeous back in it’s time! I love the Artdeco features, and water feature out back. Ahhhh such a shame and sad to see more lovely homes being demolished. Great vid! 👍🏽
Hey Rachel, thanks for stopping bye! :-) Yep seems the owners who get the money are already thinking about the next big home to buy with that cash!!!!! lol. Shame we lose that period and build quality though.......
No worries, it was my pleasure! 😊 It would be interesting to know what they did with $, but yeah very sad this gem will be lost forever soon. That makes you finding them and your vids even more important, now recorded for history. Let’s hope we don’t lose them all.
Really beautiful place. I'm thinking maybe a country club or something before the end. Definitely a stately home at one time. Such a shame to see all 3 homes gone. At least you have documented the history before it's too late. I love that you respect the home and take care as you explore each one. So many others do not. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos! Cheers until next time Paul!
Hey Lea, a few others have also said private or country club and it does have that more than a home feel to it. Yep I`m glad I at least got this one out of the 3 but i`m sure there will be more......Bittersweet! lol Thanks for your support and watching :-)
Awesome loved the kitchen huge looked like a private club .
Hey Joanna! :-) It sure did look like a club or something for entertaining! These 50`s homes really go all out for the social events! I love it :-) Thanks for watching :-)
Oh lord how mercy......beautiful home!!! These homes can be restored. Now the land developers want to take that one also and make a business out of it. What is the businesses don't make a profit? Those old homes can be restored and sold and or rented out. Please keep posting the videos I love those old homes.
Anita you have raised great questions others are wondering about too. :-) I guess the renewal targets and need to be met and if the local councils decide a daycare center is needed in that area then that may influence the need to demolish existing dwellings, the developers always get their profit but if the business does not then they sell and someone else takes a shot at new biz. Also councils decide where the renewal corridors will be and in Adelaide the target range is homes built before 1960.......This iconic stretch of road links the bay to the city and its filled with homes built before 1960 so there are going to be so many more of these old ones go down. Thanks for watching :-)
I'm so glad you got to document this vintage beauty. At least there will be video to testify to its existence in the future. There are now some websites here in the states that celebrate "vanished past photos memories and videos." Hope you are having a good summer. Our winter here in Michigan has been strange. Last week record lows, wind chill temperatures -40° farenheit, for days in a row and over a foot of snow. This week we'll have temperatures 32 to 40+ degrees with rain.
Hi Lynne, that makes me happy there are website popping up dedicating to past existence of such things and history. More and more biting the dust and i`m glad explorers are out finding them! :-) Thanks for showing your support and passion to the cause also Lynne! :-)
Great video. Its s shame they are tearing down these beautiful homes.
Glad you enjoyed Jenny :-) It is indeed a real shame this one be lost too soon! :-)
Wow, that place was huge. Definitely love the fireplaces, the character of the whole place! A real shame not to save this home only to be replaced with a concrete jungle!! And they call this progress? I bet the few remaining home owners aren't pleased to live in a business section now. Thanx
Yes ......so called progress Gerald :-) Very unique property and layout of this old beauty. Yep this stretch will become a very sterile looking hwy which is renown for it`s marvelous old homes..........travesty!!!! Thanks for watching :-)
Nice yard with the bridge
Sometimes workers will lock their tools in a closet or small room! I used to lock my cleaning supplies in closets ,if I was cleaning on a very large job. Love these last shots of these beautiful old homes!This place was amazing! Thanks for the video!👍🙋🕊️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Very good point L L and I think that room was another bathroom? As the other shower and toilet were jammed in between a sun room and the Kitchen did you notice! lol It was locked with a key so I think your right :-)
Holy Hell ..... I don't think I've ever seen a kitchen that big in a residential house! It definitely wasn't a commercial kitchen as it only had 1 stove & 1 cooktop, & didn't have a dishwasher or enough bench tops. It was just spacious!
Love the kitchen bathroom just loved the lot
Once again, awesome video! Man I love these beautiful vintage 50s homes! I'll so pay you to get those curtains! lol.. seriously though, I love them. Harder to find that stuff here in the U.S.A. That kitchen is SO kick ass! Man what I could do with that! Anyway, keep up the great work! Keep it classy!
Cheers for the support 2brokeguyz! :-) I love these old 50`s more and more now!!! Such a party and socially alive era!!! The curtains I will go back and look at in the video haha, may be worth asking about :-) The kitchen was MASSIVE and colorful, it was like a school training kitchen or for catering dinner parties??? Stay classy too ! Thanks :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 Maybe a Dancing Chef?
:O HOLY CRAP. SAD TO SEE THIS ONE GO. I would get lost in the kitchen!! That was my first thought too - a dance school.
Hey Sharon, thanks for watching, yes the Kitchen is also big enough for a second dance floor! Shame to see this unique property go!
Huge kitchen beautiful! I could just imagine the people who lived there having big family get together on holidays. Kids running around trying to get a cookie or other sweets!
Glad you love this one Deb!!! :-) It is completely demolished now!!!!!!!! So sad! So many memories in those walls now in dust. Thanks for watching :-)
Awesome house. So much time and hard work went into building these houses. They still had an eye for detail in those days. And that garden, well i liked everything about this tour. The electrical outlets are they still the same now? 5:28 They look funny. I have some travel plugs cause here in Holland we have two round holes. I've seen the rectangular holes but these are not straight like in England, I have not seen a travel plug in the stores here for this one. I love the bathroom tiles that are built into the wall with a hook 4:31 or soapdish 4:40 and toilet roll holder. 4:25 They don't use those annymore, shame. Usually I watch the videos twice. (if they are good and they are :-) The first time all the way and the second time at my own pace to watch everything. So sorry when I write about the small details that seem obvious to someone else. Thanks for the tour, had a great time again watching.
Hey Ellice yes rectangular plug holes are unique to Australia and we have 240volt power also :-) Better get a travel plug for those Ellice, never know hey? :-) I like hearing all about the small details Ellice so please write about all the things you like, :-) I have a feeling the locked room was another bathroom with the tub in it? Glad i got to film here before it goes soon! Thanks for watching :-0
@@urbexindigo5164 I had friends living in London and when I was there for the weekend they showed me a trick. The function of the bottom hole of the socket only allows the other two to open, so if I put a stick or something in the bottom, I can use a dutch narrow plug which is usually on chargers or toilet accessories without an adapter. Just a tip. :-) That does not apply to Australian sockets i think so i'll have to purchase that indeed. I thought the same thing about the locked room.
wow Awesome wish i had a Big Kitchen like that 😢😢
And 1 million cupboards to store things in LL LeLacheur :-) Thanks for watching
Really huge kitchen. It gives you the feeling that maybe this was more than a home. Either a wealthy family lived there or perhaps functioned as something else. I love these old style homes especially with that curved touch. So sad to see it go.
Definitely seems to be a function type set up Sally :-) Amazing old place and such a shame it could not be restored and kept.....I can picture it way back in the day full of people partying and enjoying the simpler times. :-)
Was a gorgeous home, great vid bro.
Thanks for watching mate, glad you enjoyed :-)
Beautiful house, sad to see it destroyed.
Hi NewEarthWellness thanks for watching :-) Yes very sad and I saw the roof tile being taking off today while driving passed.....not long til gone.....
I really love the art-deco period. I'm sure I should have been born then.
All the storage places in that house were to die for. My kind of abode 🤗
It is a very classy era Jacky, and blends really well witht the 50`s era too! Soooo many cupboards Jacky! lol Yes the kitchen was extraordinary too! Thanks for watching :-)
