HOUSE UPDATE: I'm happy to report that the development plans for this home has changed! Instead of being demolished it appears the home will be incorporated into the new development and used as a office space. Today the property is very active and it looks like someone is living/ maintaining the home until the new development starts!
That's good at least you're trying to save the house, there's going to build condos all around it, and they will all be the same, no style, just like communism, everybody has to live the same, at least they are trying to keep some kind of individuality!!!!
Not only that, but the new homes built are not build with the same standards of the past. Look at all the subdivisions. They're built so quickly and so shoddy. These old homes were built to last and look it. This home is absolutely beautiful. I would love to live in a house like that.
@@OurHumbleHomeschool fr. Demolish this so they can slap up their new cardboard junk house that won’t last past 100 years. No one cars anymore. Now it’s a bunch of underpaid tired workers slapping up houses as a job instead of someone building it for themselves with pride.
@@OurHumbleHomeschool I feel the same way. Especially since the older homes were built better and with character. For sure, homes built now won't last a fraction of the time. I see it myself. Everything is so cheap and poorly done. A shame.
these old homes were built so well that they were built with longevity in mind. with regular maintenance and upkeep, buildings like this are more solid than new construction homes today. part of it was more abundant quality and inexpensive materials, and the fact that labor was cheaper.
Unfortunately, placing a property on the National Historic Properties does not necessarily save it. The owners have the right to do as they please with it. Being listed does give them certain tax advantages and a status symbol of living in an historic home. The best thing for this home would be for a local group of historic preservationists to organize and try to persuade the owners to sell it and not destroy it. Perhaps they can buy it and try and find a buyer.
Putting it on the registry doesn't guarantee saving it. We knew a house that was over 150 years old and had a registry plaque on it but then after the owner sold it somebody bought it and tore it down. Historical value doesn't mean anything in this country, only money does.
As someone who restored historic housing in my town and a hotel they wanted to initially raze it down and I fought for the historical value. It was auctioned off and the new owner decided to buy it after seeing my photos from the original restoration I helped with as the Hotel stood when it was printine in 2000. My heart kept with joy as it was saved and is now the pride of downtown again. I love these kinds of videos. Thank you for sharing. I hope someone saves it too.
What you thought was a dining room is actually the parlor. Yes you started at the front door foyer. The ceilings were so tall to allow cooling breezes to take the heat out through the upper windows.
This is the house they used in the Hallmark movie, A Christmas Visitor. I loved the house in the movie and wondered where it was. It looks gorgeous in the movie!
I watched the beginning of this movie. It was released in 2002…but filming was probably a year or two before. This house was absolutely beautiful. I’ll watch the entire movie later. The outside looks different. Maybe there were additions.
Two kitchen areas - the first one was used as a food prep area and for canning their own food from the garden. Very typical of farm large families. Lots of shelves in large closets to store the canned food. All summer was spent growing and canning their own food to get through winters. Rare to go to town and grocery shop. All food was from the farm.
@jonjarr Since it was used as some type of venue, that kind of kitchen is also used as a food prep area by caterers, no need for a sink or stove, just plate the food and serve. I do wonder about no running water or a stove if it was used for canning food.
That house is amazing it would be a great place for veterans or a woman's shelter or maybe even a retirement home My point is is completely salvageable and needs to be saved not demolished that's crazy it's so beautiful 😢
It’s a total shame that they can’t save this house. It’s so beautiful, but I’m guessing since it’s sold, as just land that the amount of money it would cost to fix the house would be more than it would be to knock it down and build a new one, that’s usually how it works. It’s kind of pathetic to lose the beauty and the history. 😢
My god how can they leave this home to decay or vandalism!! It a work of art and should be cherished and preserved!! Unreal!! The wine storage/ cellar is a look at how grand this home was and what a celebrated place it was for the previous owners! It should be criminal to destroy a place this spectacular!
Oh my days. What a beautiful old historical home. To tear it down for commercial purposes is so very sad. I wish I could afford to restore a place like that. I would love to live in a home like. It is stunning. What a tragedy.
Same. Wish I could buy it. Can you imagine the history? I could get my grown boys to fix it up! The property could be a historical inn, an event space. Other countries have buildings thousands of years old, but in America we are so quick to demolish our much younger historical buildings. So sad.
The first section you were in is absolutely phenomenal. It would be a waste if they don't at least recycle that beautiful wood. Amazing find and thanks for the explore.
That was the best abandoned house tour I've seen. You went slowly through it opening doors and showing details. Your speech was paced. Your emotions were controlled. Loved this video because of your presentation. Most abandoned house video's are rushed and they talk too fast and too excited which shows through them rushing through. Good job. Subscribed.
I'm very happy to hear that they are not demolishing this home, the quality of craftsmanship is insane! If they were to demolish it, I would hope that they would have someone go in and salvage the doors and windows and the lentils and the ceiling moldings. All of those things can't be replaced. Even the hardwood floors are aged so beautifully. Thank you for sharing. It's an amazing property!
Amazing house ..I hope someone restores it. I could see a unique restaurant or B&B. This would have been a good house to play hide -n- seek in as a kid!
I think you'll find the original house is everything before the kitchen. What you called the back porch is actually the original front door. The small white staircase is the original servants/maids staircase. The Victorians did actually paint the woodwork white - they thought it looked more hygenic! Beautiful house - would be a crime to knock it down.
Thank you for commenting on this. I was hoping somebody would correct the assumption that the porch and entrance were the back part of the home. The lovely staircase and opposite parlors also confirm that portion of the house as the front of the home.
@@Jojo-wj8ex I agree, the part he identified as the back porch is the front of the house. Built post civil war at a time pre automobile where the orientation to the road was not an issue.
My husband and I built a home built in the 1750’s. We found everything we needed to bring the home up to date. You can find lights and light switches to match the originals. This home has the same banister’s my home has. Well my daughter bought it and lives in it now. But you can bring an old home back to its original build pretty much.
@@dancingdream2640 sorry. My misprint. We purchased a home that was built sometime in the 1750’s. We refurbished it. We lived there for over 30 yrs. Now my daughter owns and lives in it. At our age we needed a less maintenance challenging home. Thank you for catching my error and for letting me know in a kind way so that I could fix it.
This could be such a wonderful home for someone who has the time to renovate and restore it back to its prime! The flooring is gorgeous… makes me so sad to see it just sitting there unloved.
Sure there is. It's called profit. Think of the Applebee's or Hooters restaurant that would fit on that house's footprint. That's what all developers do.
It looks like they are trying to do a good job of letting it deteriorate to the point that it needs to be demolished. The house is fighting back pretty good though. I would say that the 3 story section was built first and then they kept adding on to the back. When a really old house has a step up to the bathroom, especially on upper floors, it’s so they could run the pipes in. If you were to pull up that floor you would probably see some of the original floor under there. It was weird that so many bedrooms in that section had deadbolts on the doors. That’s not something that you see often in a family home. A locking doorknob yes but a deadbolt? On that many doors? Looks like it had multiple boarders living there. I’ve seen the trapdoor entrance to a basement before and that one doesn’t look like it was visited often. I got the feeling that there was at least one other entrance somewhere because of the wine cellar. Who would want to go through all that to get a bottle of wine? Maybe that’s how they controlled their drinking 😂. Nice house that could still be saved although I don’t know of many families that would need something so large and hard to navigate. You could get lost in that place.
So my theory is that either the stairs to the cellar were originally outside of the house (Servants would have to go get that stuff anyway) and then just built their addition over top of it. My other theory is that there was originally stairs to go down under the original staircase (Which they then blocked off and turned into a little closet) and move them elsewhere. I dunno why you would do that but it's pretty common to stack staircases in almost all homes, old or modern. Though I do think originally the cellar entrance would've been from outside the house as I believe that was more common in that time period. And also they clearly blocked off the servants entrance in the upper levels with their renos.... No way it would've been separate because having servants go up the main staircase to get up to the bedrooms was a no-no. It's why they had a separate staircase going from the kitchen up to their bedrooms, but there for sure would've been a door to get to the family's end of the bedrooms so they could do their general housekeeping and such up there. It's weird the way the renovations blocked certain stuff off, etc. But does make you think it was not a single family home by the time people left it... Must've been some kind of communal place or something.
I lived in a house in Indiana as a kid that was built in 1835. it was such a cool house. 1 foot thick brick walls and still had a slate roof and big red barn.
Looks like a vintage doll house ❤ It's a shame they abandoned this beautiful property.. I really hope they protect this historic heritage! It's rare finding houses that have been frozen in time- Gorgeous! Thank you for the adventure!
Thank you for showing us this house. It's absolutely gorgeous. Can you imagine being a kid and living in this house? It would be so much fun playing hide and seek here!
It should be moved and restored. It’s beautiful. It has a history I’m sure, needs to be preserved as so many others do if possible. It’s sad to see homes of this age to be demolished. 😢
The valances over the doors are amazing. In the time it was built its crazy to think that the woodwork would have been all hand carved. Love this home, such a shame to destroy it. I give anything to live in a home this grand
Omg if they want the land to be business they could still leave this!!! How cool would it be to have sort of an antique mall in that place? Antiques, arts, books, musical instruments… I hope they keep it 😢
6:06 transoms 7:44 central vacuum (?) 9:00 sitting room 13:45 Butlers pantry 15:20 wedding / reception venue - I love this idea! 21:00 kids room (young - ish3-7) 32:00 guitar holders 38:00 musty & moldy, pls wear a mask for protection(n-95)! Thank you so much for panning speed just right; plus, you stop & focus on the things I want to see. I wish you would pause and show out of each of the windows for a moment - especially with those gorgeous views - I love to imaging I’m back in time 150 years ago. Also, I’m in San Diego, California so no lush views like those here. What state was that in? Great find; thank you!!
Such a beautiful house. It is a crime to let it rot. The floors alone are magnificent. It really deserves to be lived in or used to some,purpose. It speaks quality. Please, pleease use it. Don 't let it die.
It's such a shame. You can tell what was original because of the lasting craftsmanship! The additions are deteriorating much more faster that the original. Such a beautiful home! Love the pocket doors!!❤
What an amazing home,, I’m lost for words, I bought a new home in 1997.. never was like this home,, hope someone watches this video , takes over it, my goodness she’s sooo bueatiful 🦋🙏🏼🌷❣️
My family restored a 150.00 yr old farm house. The barn had pegs connecting the beams and frame work. The wood they used was cucumber wood, hard as iron. The house still had the old gas lighting plumbing. I never pulled off so much lath and horse hair plaster in my life. The worst was stripping off all eight layers of enameled paint, every color of the rainbow. Was very glad when we finished it.
The first room you went into would have been the parlour - where they would entertain guests . The pocket doors would open to the smaller dining room. You'd have the doors closed so the servants could prepare the dinner table and the doors would be opened when dinner was served. The formal part of the house is a mirror image of my Victorian - though this is upscaled from my home. And like my home originally - no connection between servants and owners portion of the house. That possible explains why the two door ways to the sun port. There may have been a wall between the two. It's too bad the addition was so poorly built. It's likely the primary reason why this is slated for demo. You'd have to tear off all the newer addition then start renovating from there.
I think the first room from the 2nd stairway where you said "massive coat hooks"...were guitar hooks so you can hang guitars on the wall. :) Awesome house!
What an amazing home. I can never comprehend why people often paint over the original colored brown woodwork and trim. Or even the bricks on the fireplace. It ruins the whole aesthetics of a home of this age. The land developers appear to be purchasing up all the large acres of land in Canada (with beautiful vintage homes on them)to be used for building condos, apartment complexes, etc. Due to lack of affordable housing for the low income. So it's awesome that explorers like yourself are documenting them for the future generations. My only HUGE negative is when a majority of the explorers find an opened window, rather than go ahead and shut it, most of them look out it and walk away, leaving it opened. Which allows birds to fly in and stray animals, often just to meet their demise, also allows rain in, which creates mold, causing faster decaying of the pad. Please close the windows in these abandoned places. But, it could potentially save an innocent bird or animal from a painful demise. I believe what appeared to be a kitchen with no sink may have at one time been the kitchen. Now probably more of a chef area for the preparation of food for larger parties. And the newer kitchen was then placed in that back area. What to do with ALL the rooms in a house so large?? Invent new ways to use extra rooms. Which is nuts!! Just to show your wealth!! Then you die and leave all those materialistic belongings behind so rust, thieves and Mother Nature can eventually take what is hers. Thank you, Noah, for sharing this extraordinary pad. Dream on! Dream on!! P€ac€~n~£0v€
Kitchen sink under butcher block counter, hinge flip. Go back and L👀K. Nastily painted white stair steps that bled into the bottom of rails. 😧 Once a very stunning home that obviously no one took w them.😁
This house is gorgeous! It could be restored & become a historic house. It could maybe be turned into a bed & breakfast place. I sincerely hope they don't demolish it.
BTW there was a sink in the first kitchen looking area with the wood island. It's hidden under the wood . Great house to play hide and seek in .also there's a wine caller way down in the basement that has a cool bottle of wine from 1867. There's also a hidden room just outside the pink room with the clouds. It's behind the paneling.
1st and only person like that I actually subscribed to that show's off these little gem's...Voice is calm and collected, not over exaggerated and spastic as many are (they don't get they don't have to act like that to get people interested in their channel or excited to watch), Let alone doesn't rush us through seeing every corner of the place and show's us what is behind each door so we get the full picture. Let alone no crazy long and annoying intro, nor did you need some stupid catch phrase some of these guys do that annoy. Great Job in letting us in and leaving us with no question's behind.
I come from Northern Europe where we have houses far far older than this, and they are kept up and protected! We love history,and would never demolish such a special place. Of course the money has to come from somewhere, I get that,but it’s SO worth it!!
Also those heavy duty hooks in the upper room were for musical instruments - guitars I believe. All that lovely hardwood flooring and the decorative corbels and gingerbread trim are all worth salvaging. I hope whomever takes the building down will do it in the proper and respectful manner the old 'lady' deserves
This historic property should be restored and preserved, not demolished. Protecting historic architecture for posterity is a worthy endeavor. I really hope it is not swept away enitirely.
HOUSE UPDATE: I'm happy to report that the development plans for this home has changed!
Instead of being demolished it appears the home will be incorporated into the new development and used as a office space.
Today the property is very active and it looks like someone is living/ maintaining the home until the new development starts!
@NoahNowhere thanks for the update. So happy that it's been saved!
Great news. It’s beautiful
How could anyone consider tearing down this GEM ?
🏦🏦🏦
You'd have to be Soul-less .
That's good at least you're trying to save the house, there's going to build condos all around it, and they will all be the same, no style, just like communism, everybody has to live the same, at least they are trying to keep some kind of individuality!!!!
Thank you for whim ever saved this home
Beautiful home. I'm so sick of people wanting to tear down the old stuff and build boring and ugly businesses and homes. We should preserve the past
Not only that, but the new homes built are not build with the same standards of the past. Look at all the subdivisions. They're built so quickly and so shoddy. These old homes were built to last and look it. This home is absolutely beautiful. I would love to live in a house like that.
These old homes beat absolutely any at all.being built today. Homes today will be gone in 100 years.
@@OurHumbleHomeschool fr. Demolish this so they can slap up their new cardboard junk house that won’t last past 100 years. No one cars anymore. Now it’s a bunch of underpaid tired workers slapping up houses as a job instead of someone building it for themselves with pride.
@@OurHumbleHomeschool I feel the same way. Especially since the older homes were built better and with character.
For sure, homes built now won't last a fraction of the time. I see it myself. Everything is so cheap and poorly done. A shame.
these old homes were built so well that they were built with longevity in mind. with regular maintenance and upkeep, buildings like this are more solid than new construction homes today.
part of it was more abundant quality and inexpensive materials, and the fact that labor was cheaper.
SOMEONE….ANYONE, PLEASE REGISTER THIS HOME AS A “HISTORIC PROPERTY”!!!!
How do you do that?
I agree this is beautiful and it looks like it’s still savable.
We're is this home?
Unfortunately, placing a property on the National Historic Properties does not necessarily save it. The owners have the right to do as they please with it.

That's a perfect idea, a place to rent out. Weddings , receptions, anniversary parties, etc.
I hope they don't demolish it or let it decay. It's such an amazing house
Have you ever come across anything that scared you silly?
Unfortunately, this gorgeous home is toast. It’s sickening!
There is not one house built today that will be around in 150 years!
@debbieflaherty1975 high population = poor quality houses. There's simply too many people living in this country.
THEY? Who’s money are you going to spend?

This is an amazing home! OH the possibilities, Inn or B&B, event center or just someone with a passion to restore it to it's original glory.
Blame the owners, they want the money, and don’t care about it’s historical history.
Beautiful home. Such a shame it could be torn down. Wish someone would save it.
almost 150 years old? it's been around for 5-7 generations. it's beautiful.
I lived in a house in Indiana as a kid that was built in 1835. it was such a cool house. 1 foot thick brick walls and still had a slate roof and big red barn.
LOOKS LIKE A BEAUTIFUL CAKE WITH ELEGANT TRIMMED FROSTING.
This house is absolutely amazing. I swear I’ve had dreams with houses that look like this.
Can you please keep us posted on tnis property. It deserves to be saved. Does anyone know where it is. Perhaos making it known may help save it.
The craftsmanship of this Victorian place is shear beauty. ❤Thanks for showing. 😊
Oh how I'd love to own that house, beautiful, I'm so intrigued with those old homes, their detail and just everything about them! Thank you!
Looks like a vintage doll house ❤ It's a shame they abandoned this beautiful property.. I really hope they protect this historic heritage! It's rare finding houses that have been frozen in time- Gorgeous! Thank you for the adventure!
That really should be saved as a heritage house! Amazing home. 😍
Thank you for showing us this house. It's absolutely gorgeous. Can you imagine being a kid and living in this house? It would be so much fun playing hide and seek here!
Should never be demolished. I’ll move in ❤
This is why I love America. I would love to just travel America and find abandoned beauty’s like this
It should be moved and restored. It’s beautiful. It has a history I’m sure, needs to be preserved as so many others do if possible. It’s sad to see homes of this age to be demolished. 😢
The valances over the doors are amazing. In the time it was built its crazy to think that the woodwork would have been all hand carved. Love this home, such a shame to destroy it. I give anything to live in a home this grand
Omg if they want the land to be business they could still leave this!!! How cool would it be to have sort of an antique mall in that place? Antiques, arts, books, musical instruments… I hope they keep it 😢
That would be a damn shame to tear that place down. It would take some money but it could be restored. Beautiful home.
Isn't it sad how at one time all the quality construction and craftsmanship was once standard and abundant but now is considered rare and extravagant.
I have constant fantasies of winning the mega millions lotto and then buying and restoring all of these magnificent beauties.

Thank you so much for panning speed just right; plus, you stop & focus on the things I want to see.
I wish you would pause and show out of each of the windows for a moment - especially with those gorgeous views - I love to imaging I’m back in time 150 years ago. Also, I’m in San Diego, California so no lush views like those here.
What state was that in?
Great find; thank you!!
Those windows look Italianate stlye
You have made one of the best abandoned mansion videos ever. Thank you for the tour 👍
I sure hope someone can get this home protected from destruction and renovate as a historical landmark. It's very stunning and beautiful.
Can you imagine trying to dust the dust bunnies in the corners of those high ceilings 😮. Beautiful homes back in the day. Masterpieces!
Such a beautiful house. It is a crime to let it rot. The floors alone are magnificent. It really deserves to be lived in or used to some,purpose. It speaks quality. Please, pleease use it. Don 't let it die.
The "sun room" was the mud room. It's used to keep dirty shoes and wet jackets from messing up the rest of the house.
From the outside it looks like an adorable dollhouse! ❤
Nobody knows what have to until lost it . What a beautiful house I hope the city preserve that gem.
This house is absolutely beautiful! It also has my favorite colors on it!
This is gorgeous!!!! Can't believe no one will save it! Totally renovate it as a event center with a wine cellar!
All that white paint kills me! The wood underneath it probably soooooo beautiful. Stripping it would take me a lifetime!
Absolutely beautiful and stunning house. What a shame that it wasn’t taken care of. Such a waste. Love this place
this is the first time I have set all the way through one of these good job!!!
Thanks Lori!
Noah, you created an awesome video of this precious treasure from the past.
Thank you for sharing…
Omg it kills me to see this home abandoned and sold.. omg its insainely beautiful!!!
It's such a shame. You can tell what was original because of the lasting craftsmanship! The additions are deteriorating much more faster that the original.
Such a beautiful home! Love the pocket doors!!❤
What an amazing home,, I’m lost for words, I bought a new home in 1997.. never was like this home,, hope someone watches this video , takes over it, my goodness she’s sooo bueatiful 🦋🙏🏼🌷❣️
I think the basement staircase in the kitchen was a outside walkin before the addition was built
My family restored a 150.00 yr old farm house. The barn had pegs connecting the beams and frame work. The wood they used was cucumber wood, hard as iron. The house still had the old gas lighting plumbing. I never pulled off so much lath and horse hair plaster in my life. The worst was stripping off all eight layers of enameled paint, every color of the rainbow. Was very glad when we finished it.
The first room you went into would have been the parlour - where they would entertain guests . The pocket doors would open to the smaller dining room. You'd have the doors closed so the servants could prepare the dinner table and the doors would be opened when dinner was served. The formal part of the house is a mirror image of my Victorian - though this is upscaled from my home.
And like my home originally - no connection between servants and owners portion of the house. That possible explains why the two door ways to the sun port. There may have been a wall between the two. It's too bad the addition was so poorly built. It's likely the primary reason why this is slated for demo. You'd have to tear off all the newer addition then start renovating from there.
BEAUTIFUL HOME ONCE AND COULD BE AGAIN !!!!
That room was an audio studio. The Velcro held the acoustic tiles.
That house is absolutely breathtaking.
I think the first room from the 2nd stairway where you said "massive coat hooks"...were guitar hooks so you can hang guitars on the wall. :) Awesome house!
That house is beautiful. It still looks as if it could still be livable.
I hope the city does steps in + doesn't allow them to tear down this beautiful heritage home!
That's a Gorgeous House!! Thank You for the house tour!!!
What an amazing home. I can never comprehend why people often paint over the original colored brown woodwork and trim. Or even the bricks on the fireplace. It ruins the whole aesthetics of a home of this age.
The land developers appear to be purchasing up all the large acres of land in Canada (with beautiful vintage homes on them)to be used for building condos, apartment complexes, etc. Due to lack of affordable housing for the low income. So it's awesome that explorers like yourself are documenting them for the future generations.
My only HUGE negative is when a majority of the explorers find an opened window, rather than go ahead and shut it, most of them look out it and walk away, leaving it opened. Which allows birds to fly in and stray animals, often just to meet their demise, also allows rain in, which creates mold, causing faster decaying of the pad. Please close the windows in these abandoned places. But, it could potentially save an innocent bird or animal from a painful demise.
I believe what appeared to be a kitchen with no sink may have at one time been the kitchen. Now probably more of a chef area for the preparation of food for larger parties. And the newer kitchen was then placed in that back area. What to do with ALL the rooms in a house so large?? Invent new ways to use extra rooms. Which is nuts!! Just to show your wealth!! Then you die and leave all those materialistic belongings behind so rust, thieves and Mother Nature can eventually take what is hers.
Thank you, Noah, for sharing this extraordinary pad. Dream on! Dream on!!

Kitchen sink under butcher block counter, hinge flip. Go back and L👀K.
Nastily painted white stair steps that bled into the bottom of rails. 😧
Once a very stunning home that obviously no one took w them.😁
This house is gorgeous! It could be restored & become a historic house. It could maybe be turned into a bed & breakfast place. I sincerely hope they don't demolish it.
I love everything about this house!! Glad to hear its not being torn down! Those velvet parts oner the curtains is a valance.
It just baffles me that they'd want to demolish that house.
This home is beautiful! Before they tear it down, its big enough to make 4 homes out of it!!
BTW there was a sink in the first kitchen looking area with the wood island. It's hidden under the wood . Great house to play hide and seek in .also there's a wine caller way down in the basement that has a cool bottle of wine from 1867. There's also a hidden room just outside the pink room with the clouds. It's behind the paneling.
1st and only person like that I actually subscribed to that show's off these little gem's...Voice is calm and collected, not over exaggerated and spastic as many are (they don't get they don't have to act like that to get people interested in their channel or excited to watch), Let alone doesn't rush us through seeing every corner of the place and show's us what is behind each door so we get the full picture. Let alone no crazy long and annoying intro, nor did you need some stupid catch phrase some of these guys do that annoy. Great Job in letting us in and leaving us with no question's behind.
Great job Noah 🎉❤
I enjoyed walking thru this amazing old home
I come from Northern Europe where we have houses far far older than this, and they are kept up and protected! We love history,and would never demolish such a special place. Of course the money has to come from somewhere, I get that,but it’s SO worth it!!
Also those heavy duty hooks in the upper room were for musical instruments - guitars I believe. All that lovely hardwood flooring and the decorative corbels and gingerbread trim are all worth salvaging. I hope whomever takes the building down will do it in the proper and respectful manner the old 'lady' deserves
This home needs to be registered as
a historic home. It has so much history.
That house has so much potential ❤️
It’s beautiful. Sad they let a beautiful home go down like that.
This historic property should be restored and preserved, not demolished. Protecting historic architecture for posterity is a worthy endeavor. I really hope it is not swept away enitirely.
