I've always felt the same. The craftsmanship that went into these old homes is beyond belief, sadly a lost art. And to think, they didn't even have the tools we do at this point in time. I grew up between old homes in upstate NY and newer homes.... Always prefer the older ones because they are built to last and build differently...way better than any modern home. Bet they won't withstand the test of time like these old gems.
I so agree with you John. No classic design anymore. The jewels are few and far between. I love when someone can fix up these beautiful homes. What a blessing. Wish I had one to love🥰 🏠
Who would want to live in them? They are too big, and cost a lot to maintain and keep warm. A lot of them are in isolated areas. Look beautiful, but I can't see anyone needed them these days.
I’m from Georgia and their are so many homes that have been abandoned for many many years.Since the pandemic a lot of people venture out on a drive and I hope they will take notice and buy these beautiful homes to restore to their former glory.Great video May God bless you on all your adventures.

This home is one of the most structurally sound homes I've had the pleasure of seeing. It is.a very restorable dwelling and I would love to see it saved. Thank you for letting me explore with you. 🦋
This house should be saved NOW. 200 years They do not make homes like this anymore. If you notice the homes of today they fall apart faster then the older homes.
Old houses are mostly Old Forest Wood, hard or seasoned lumber with oversized frame timbers and No cutting corners! Pity hope somebody comes to the rescue?
My house, according to the appraisal office, was built in 1948, BUT....I have deeds saying it was built in the late 1800's. I agree w/you Sandra...house today are put up too fast n cheap. I bought my house from my "greedy" dad n his 2 sisters, long story there-any who, it's a 7th generation home, the doors are built sturdy....and some still have the original door knobs. Im trying to fix it up for my youngest son.....and NO, I WILL NOT be selling it too him.....he can either stay in it or sale it.....its his free n clear to do with it as he please.
it's truly sad to see a once magnificent home such as this fall into such disrepair. I spent over 40+ years painting Ante-Bellum houses in Milledgeville,Georgia and they were rare works of a loving craftsman of woodworking
I've just discovered your videos and have to thank you for filming stuff at a slower pace and concentrating on the architectural features that matter. Too many people whiz past stuff thinking they are doing the tour right. You do the job properly while also paying attention to your personal safety. Really great. Thank you very much.
I didn't"t see a lot of water damage and the woodwork everywhere is just exquisite! The whole place has an open, light and airy feel to it. I think it"s been abandoned longer than 8 years....there are so many gems of antiquity all through it. Needs some TLC and a lot of "Olde English" wood polish! Great job, Kappy and Zane! Really enjoyed it. 😁
This house is just full of beautiful details. The woodwork and fireplaces are gorgeous as are the windows and the layout. The amount of natural light that it gets is so perfect. This is such a dream to think of back in it’s day. I’d love to be able to turn back time and restore it. I’d love to know it’s history. It’s a little bit of heaven!♥️
I know this house. It's well-documented and was originally built in 1815 and added to and remodeled in 1880 during the Victorian era. It's really sad to see it neglected. Thanks for making the tour!
Thank you, Kappy, for showing us how houses should be built today, with attention to caring for the soul's comforts and not just those of the body. Keep up the great work!
Absolutely beautiful. My grandparents house was very similar to this...sliding wooden doors, a 3 level staircase with gorgeous woodwork, push button light switches, a sitting room at the top of the stairs, a second staircase off the kitchen, huge front porch, I could go on. I am so sad it’s not in the family anymore. You invoked some wonderful memories. Subscribed and thank you so much 😊. ❤️👍❤️
I would love to see Nicole from Rehab Addict get her hands on this! She restores old houses to their former glory. She keeps everything as original to the time period that the house was built in, as possible.
I can’t believe I just saw this comment! Some other videos led me here and I was trying so hard to remember what her show and name was because these remind me of her. I’m terrible with names. Anyway thanks off to watch reruns lol.
This is beautiful. I believe a lot of “blood, sweat and tears “ went into that craftsmanship, as my husband would say. That white mantle in the blue and white room is perfect.😍 Love your videos.
Love your videos/adventures! Tall ceilings were almost a must ( if you could afford them). They were an early attempt at air conditioning in a way. Heat would rise to the top of the ceiling keeping it cooler at the bottom. Tall windows were used to open the top ( not the bottom) to let heat out. They would pull the windows down upstairs to let the heat out that rose from the downstairs. Then they could open the cellar door and let the cool air in to circulate throughout the house. Usually always large shade trees surrounding the homes for shade. People ruin old houses by putting smaller windows and lowering the ceilings thinking they will save on heat, etc., when in fact, they are ruining the natural design of the home to keep them cooler and warmer!
This version is far superior to the previous upload! My wife and I are (still) old house lovers, and have owned and restored or renovated three of them in the 90s-00s. We learned a bunch about the construction when we worked on our 1895 house, one which some would call a mansion (some being like the tax assessor) I still love to look at them, and this house surely has the good bones, well worth restoration. I notice that some previous resident began stripping paint from woodwork. Shows real dedication, as it isn't easily done! Looks like someone else tried some really bright colors of paint inside, probably in the 70s. Apparently the house never had central heat installed. The multiple fireplaces were surely a necessity!
Oh my goodness! This house!!!😍😍 It’s in beautiful condition for its age. That ceiling in one of the first few rooms, the fireplaces and the woodwork😍😍 I really hope someone saves it. Thank you for sharing Kappy!
All the talk about ornate and beautiful carvings is true this house has lots. Back in the old days people weren't as rushed as they are today and good craftmanship was very much appreciated. People took pride in their work and "stuff" wasn't rushed through and assembly line. I can't imagine living in this palatial mansion and the beautiful clothes the women wore back then. Great video, thank you!
The hardwood floors were unreal.. stairway very nice.. lots of love and attention to detail was given when built.. smaller kitchen..fireplaces were awesome...every room...great explore. Thank you
Thank you for showing the doors, the door knobs ( when they are not new ), the floors, all the wood work, taking your time. Fire places had each their own different ceramic tiles . ( Each room needed a fire place, that was the only heating system ) . Interesting when we can see the old wall paper
Kappy I Love how you take time to share the important decals and designs of this old home. A decade ago my husband and family drove by this place and i always wanted to see the inside to get a feeling how they lived back in time/.Thank you for this wonderful explore and God Bless you .
This is one of the nicest houses you have ever done. I appreciated all the details you included from the carved wood wallpaper hard ware flooring! It was all beautiful and looked like with a pile of money it could be saved! You really foundva gem!!:great video Kappy!
a bit nicer than I thought after the first video...she has lots of life left in her ...some family could easily own her another 200 years with some work.....surprised she isnt on the historical list..keep them coming ....
I love that you appreciate these magnificent old homes ~ I own a Victorian home, built 1889 & have worked hard to try to respect & preserve, the heritage of this beautiful old house.,
The “doorway to nowhere” was probably a door that opened out onto a balcony that has fallen off and been removed. Our 112 yr. old house was built by the owner who lived here for 60 plus years then his second wife and widow lived here another 10 before we bought it from her. There is an “L” shaped balcony and there are two doors that go out onto the balcony...there are 4 doors to the outside downstairs. The man who built this house, when he was 27, was very concerned about fire therefore he made sure you could hopefully escape. The house you are showing has what is called “pier and beam” and looks like it has a basement. Our house is pier and beam, is 4025 sq. ft., two story but there are not too many basements in east Texas...soil is too sandy. Neat old house you are showing.
My husband and I own a home in central Illinois that was built in 1884. It has 4 stories and it to has a door that goes nowhere. It's located off the 2nd story landing of the back staircase used by the servants. Having 5 children and our youngest only 2 years of age when we bought this house, we removed what was left of the rotted staircase when we moved in over 24 yrs ago. The front formal staircase was intact and well taken care of. When you live in a house like this (ascwell as the many you've shown now abandoned on your channel) you come to realize you are but the lastest caretaker for the next generation who will live within these strong walls. You do your best to preserve the original while finding places to put your own stamp of ownership to leave behind. You HAVE to LOVE the house first and foremost and secondly, you have to have a very strong marriage! As weird as this may sound, these old homes will 'speak' to you...While you care for it, it cares for you and those you love. So many BEAUTIFUL abandoned homes... Lost and forgotten with no one to tell their stories of the people who once lived there. So very sad!
Indeed. If not Kappy must go with a truck and start removing things from it before Bulldozes level it .Just the stair case and the fire places would worth few thousand dollars
Thanks for posting this. I agree, it's a beautiful old house, even in it's current state. It's a miracle that the squatters didn't accidentally burn it down. Hopefully with some attention drawn to it, somebody will step up and save it. Good job!
Very interesting and educational video! Thanks for posting. I’ve been interested in Southern plantation houses and mansions for years. As a teenager I worked in tobacco with folks from the South who came north to Canada after their own tobacco was finished for the season. I’ve been taken with the Southern culture and drawls ever since. Cheers!
This is what people should do with their lottery winnings ,not buy fancy expensive cars and new homes . People are forgotten over time ,and no amount of money can fix that , but when a person does something good no matter what statice in life they are ,they will never be forgotten ,especially when they restore a home
A bucket list for me and most likely far fetched is to rebuild my childhood home from the original blueprints...it is a Victorian, still in use but is split into two apartments.
I’d love to have it for myself! I love it. Get all that paint off the fireplace and expose the beautiful wood. It makes me sick when they paint all that old wood Bc it’s either oak or mahogany. It’s beyond me why people would paint over that beautiful wood. It’s usually Bc they don’t realize how valuable the wood is.IS THE HOUSE FOR SALE?
Gorgeous!!! I’d move here in a heart beat! The woodwork is amazing and the fireplaces! You find the most beautiful homes Kappy!! Thanks so very much for sharing! We need to share your talent on other forms of social media. I’d love for you to have your own channel. Stay safe and can’t wait for the next one. 😊
Someone apparently 'sqatted' there. I cannot believe humans can be so filthy and destructive to such a beautiful house. Or allowed to be there. It is such a discrace and so sad.
Gorgeous! Those fireplace mantels! This could be so beautiful again. Wish all those rich people out there would invest in restoration of old houses like these.
Thank you for reloading it! I did the best I could watching the first version and thought it was beautiful, but WOW!! I agree it needs the restoration to be completed! Love it! Thanks again Kappy- John
Such a beautiful home, still in amazingly good shape. To allow this home to further deteriorate is not a good thought. There should be a law where these homes that are abandoned, someone with the financial means to renovate, can move in and restore it and become the owner. I know this sounds crazy, but I just hate seeing these homes going to waste because of noone involved caring enough to save them. This is better than all of these fantastic homes just wasting away and or being left to be vandalized.
@@Sean72_ No, it wasn't built by slave owners. First of all, Queen Ann homes didn't even exist when there was slavery. They were built from the 1880s to about 1910. The date mentioned in this video is incorrect. This home was probably owned by a successful businessman or professional. Queen Ann homes were far more popular in the northern states than the southern states.
Each fireplace is custom and beautiful. Only way they stayed warm then, so needed in every room! I so hope someone does. I had a friend but a 3 story, 150 year old house and redo it. Just the remodel was over 1 million, but it was breathaking. Had a kitchen on two floors when I saw it before anything done. 🧡
This place is lovely and has the potential to be that way again. I love the walk around porch and all the original woodwork. That floor was great. Thank you for sharing and you have a great day
Everyone please smash that like button and leave a comment to show Kappy we appreciate his hard work. Absolutely stunning house that I hope gets fixed up. Also amazing that after 200 yrs, nothing on the stairs woodwork was broken or damaged.
What a fantastic tour of a fabulous mansion!! Loving everything about it! I do hope that loving arms will wrap her up tight, and care her well!! I can see smiling faces!
I am so glad you showed this house! I have eyeballed that house since I was a kid. It had a dumb waiter in I back in the 90s. I have always wondered what it looked like inside now that it's been abandoned! Thanks for sharing!
Could that have been the summer kitchen below the house? My hubby just found an enamel door knob that was on his great grandma’s house before and made it into the gear shift knob on our truck! We love it lol! The fireplaces were absolutely gorgeous! I really hope someone will restore this house! Thank you so much for reposting this video I was soooo bummed yesterday when I couldn’t watch! You’re my favorite explorer!
I think you’re right. The kitchens used to be separate from the house, or in the basement level. That huge fireplace would have been where they cooked.
Found the house and pulled this info. Incase you missed it the address was on the glass above the front door. Pretty easy to locate from there. Located at: 208 Adams Street, Sparta, Ga. The original structure, built in 1820, was a plantation-plain house on a high basement. Bought by Edmund Pendleton in 1853, the house was expanded to accomodate his large family. After its purchase by R.A. Graves in 1880, the house was altered to its present Victorian style. The house features bay windows with octagonal spires on the one-room-deep second story, and a one-story wraparound veranda with turned posts. Decorative brackets at the top of the posts create a series of arches. The railing enclosing the veranda features a unique geometrical pattern. A projecting pediment with fan motif marks the entrance to the veranda. Slide annotated: "Sparta, Georgia." Date of structure: 1820.
Its so heartbreaking to see such a beautiful home in such a sad condition :o( The woodwork on the staircase is spectacular!! I would buy this in a heartbeat and restore it.
I just started to watch abandon houses. My daughter bought me an I phone & I am learning how to use it. I live in Canada 🇨🇦 & have seen many a house come down, that shouldn’t have. I love older houses Victoria & other types. That house is beautiful. It probably was liveable & would have made a nice house for a family. I have trouble understanding why when someone bought this house & didn’t want to live in it, why they just didn’t rent the house out. Money every month & have someone keeping up with repairs & landscaping. I loved 🥰 the parquet floors & how each room had it’s own fireplace. The reading room would have been excellent for children’s reading time. This is the first house I have seen. I watch on my iPhone most times. I watch the paranormal stories with my daughter, on her TV. Keep on doing what you do, documenting places that won’t be there because of progress.
Thank you for reposting this video with the lighting issues fixed. It was definitely worth watching again! This is one house that, with the right owner and a decent amount of money, could be returned to its glory days. If that ever happens, I hope you get the chance to go back and revisit it.
Very gorgeous house! It saddens me that squatters appear to have overran the place. I do hope someone can restore it and save it. It's a relic for sure. It might be too much house for one person, but I could see it turned into a bed and breakfast. Looks like whoever built it was well off financially. It reminds me of the Old House from the 60's tv show, Dark Shadows. And why the image of late actor Jonathan Frid as Barnabas and Willie Loomis (John Karlan) moving in and reeking havoc, I haven't an idea why. I guess the spookiness, and dust, cobwebs just reminds me of my favorite show. It looks like an ideal filming location for a creepy old house movie, and/ or remake of a vampire classic movie. 😊
Man what I wouldn't give to be able to restore this beauty and turn it into a small bed and breakfast! Wow! Can't you imagine living in such a beautiful, just absolutely stunning home!? It's something I could never even dream of! It's such an absolute shame that the previous owners didn't CHERISH this jewel! I can't imagine the lengths I would go through to restore this beauty!
What a wonderful old house! Love all the cool details like the inlaid floor, the pocket doors, all those beautiful fireplaces, the excellent woodwork! True craftsmanship! I hate seeing lovely old houses like this go to seed; if I had the $$$, I'd buy this baby & restore it to its former glory.
Beautiful house, I hope it gets restored too!, it deserves it. This one is my favorite of all the old homes that you've shown us, or just feels like home. Thanks for sharing 😊🏡🏤🌹
It must have had a remodel during victorian times. There was both eastlake and victorian wood trimming in this home. It hurts my soul to see such a charming place go into such disrepair while not offering it for sale.
the Victorian work was done in the 1880s and the last restoration work was from the late 1980s to the early 1990s, it was the last time the outside and a lot of the inside was painted. It's held up pretty well considering.
@@TarynsTime I was just about to comment this. My Victorian was built in 1883 and the door knobs he commented were from 1910, were actually from the 1880's. My house is full of them. You can see a lot of French influence in the fixtures throughout. I have the same window trim and a lot of the wood trim in my house. The fireplaces in my house are not as ornate as this house was. This house was really built with love for someone.
I just love places like that with those big windows and wrap around porches the floors with the designs in them and the grand staircase and always the fire places.
This home is so beautiful. I love everything about it the staircase,the wooden shutters, fireplaces, servants staircase,rap around porch,pocket doors. I could go on and on. The doorknobs,windows, I would love to have the money to fix it and live there. Thanks for sharing this video.

@@nancysmith1432 Well, if you have a device. FreeCycle is where people give items. If it can still be used, Clothes, bookbags etc. You can ask for boxed food if anyone has extras in their house no one is eating. Crackers etc. So you can look in offers or ask for a Wanted. See which town you are in. Select that one or one close by to it. As of now there are porch pick-ups. It is over e-mail, but you can give a number for communication. Careful with anything suspicious on there. It's not much, but only thing I thought of from being far away from ya. You can pass that down to your grand daughters. Make sure you have your log-in to e-mail and account info. As long as you can charge and connect. Anyone curious it's worldwide and donation run. It's considered a charity.
Good gracious...what a Grand old beautiful lady. My dream is to get one of these neglected ladies and restore original. Shame someone painted that fireplace and woodworking.
I love the outside architecture of this house. Absolutely my favorite. The carved wood molding and hardware is beautiful. I hope that this beautiful home will be restored.
Wow this house is just amazing. I can imagine what it was like in its day. It's in amazing shape for how old it is. Thank you for exploring and sharing. ❤
This is such a gorgeous house, even in its rundown state! It's a shame that someone is using it as their personal junk storage space! Somebody needs to buy this house and restore it to its former glory. It would make a REALLY nice bed and breakfast place!
I reuploaded it purely for all the people who said it was too bright, hope you enjoy, this video has been a headache too try and get right for everyone just beyond frustrating
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 Many of us know it takes hours and hours of hard work putting these videos out and we appreciate your quality work. I hope you are able to get something back for all your effort, traveling, filming & editing!! You are one of the best videographers out there in Urbexland!
This house looks Victorian in every way way. It doesn't look 200 years old unless it was expanded on the shell of a 200 year old house. Looks like it was once well maintained and renovated in it's day...definitely worth saving.
By far the best part of urbexing is the history, and my god you have documented some history. That home was/is beautiful. I'm surprised its still standing and not ruined by graffiti!
Wow ... now THIS place is worth the investment of the restoration! Hope someone gets diligently on that ... These old Queen Anne Vic's are gorgeous! Thanks for the vid Kappy 🙋
This upload looked perfect on my iPhone 🤩 What a grand old house. I love the paint scheme on the exterior. It reminds me of the Painted Ladies houses in San Francisco. Lovely woodwork. She’s a beaut, inside and out. I hope someone saves her.
Why would they do that? Are you saying they should go in and steal it? At some point someone was in there stripping the paint off the woodwork. Whether or not they are still working on it, it appears someone owns it and had plans of restoring it. Maybe the person working on it died and their family owns it. But if you rip out the floor and staircase, you might as well tear the whole house down.
@@babybunny1967 often when homes are being demolished or abandoned, legitimate salvage companies will pay for the salvage rights to a home. They then go in and remove anything that their company can resell or reuse on another property. I would rather see that happen than all these beautiful floors just crumble with time.
@@sharondinwiddie308 people don’t seem to realize no one with money is buying a house in a depressed area. I agree it should be salvaged. All these old houses in disrepair have plenty of salvage in them.
I love this house and all the excellent craftsmanship. It should be illegal to abuse and abandon a work of art, which this house truly is. I especially love the inlaid floors in the entry all. I can't begin to imagine the hours it took to design and install that floor. I wish I could clean it and wax it back to it's original beauty.
As an accomplished craftsman with both power and hand tools I feel I have a greater appreciation of homes like this. It pains me deeply to see fine homes like this wasting away.

Thank you, Kappy, for showing us how houses should be built today, with attention to caring for the soul's comforts and not just those of the body. Keep up the great work!
Absolutely beautiful. My grandparents house was very similar to this...sliding wooden doors, a 3 level staircase with gorgeous woodwork, push button light switches, a sitting room at the top of the stairs, a second staircase off the kitchen, huge front porch, I could go on. I am so sad it’s not in the family anymore. You invoked some wonderful memories. Subscribed and thank you so much 😊. ❤️👍❤️
I believe the sliding doors are referred to as "pocket doors." My Mom had some in an old victorian home she redided in. I love these style of homes.

I would love to see Nicole from Rehab Addict get her hands on this! She restores old houses to their former glory. She keeps everything as original to the time period that the house was built in, as possible.
LOVE HER...I DO SAME THINGS...
Diana L....-Call her.
Yes she would be perfect 👌
Exactly! Would love to see it renovated!
I can’t believe I just saw this comment! Some other videos led me here and I was trying so hard to remember what her show and name was because these remind me of her. I’m terrible with names. Anyway thanks off to watch reruns lol.
I love that you show the close up shots of all the architectural details, the trim, the hardware, the wallpaper. Very enjoyable video!
This is beautiful. I believe a lot of “blood, sweat and tears “ went into that craftsmanship, as my husband would say. That white mantle in the blue and white room is perfect.😍 Love your videos.
Love your videos/adventures! Tall ceilings were almost a must ( if you could afford them). They were an early attempt at air conditioning in a way. Heat would rise to the top of the ceiling keeping it cooler at the bottom. Tall windows were used to open the top ( not the bottom) to let heat out. They would pull the windows down upstairs to let the heat out that rose from the downstairs. Then they could open the cellar door and let the cool air in to circulate throughout the house. Usually always large shade trees surrounding the homes for shade. People ruin old houses by putting smaller windows and lowering the ceilings thinking they will save on heat, etc., when in fact, they are ruining the natural design of the home to keep them cooler and warmer!
Did I miss, was there a bathroom? I did see the toilet and built in sink on the second floor, no tub.
This version is far superior to the previous upload! My wife and I are (still) old house lovers, and have owned and restored or renovated three of them in the 90s-00s. We learned a bunch about the construction when we worked on our 1895 house, one which some would call a mansion (some being like the tax assessor) I still love to look at them, and this house surely has the good bones, well worth restoration. I notice that some previous resident began stripping paint from woodwork. Shows real dedication, as it isn't easily done! Looks like someone else tried some really bright colors of paint inside, probably in the 70s. Apparently the house never had central heat installed. The multiple fireplaces were surely a necessity!
Oh my goodness! This house!!!😍😍 It’s in beautiful condition for its age. That ceiling in one of the first few rooms, the fireplaces and the woodwork😍😍 I really hope someone saves it.
Thank you for sharing Kappy!
All the talk about ornate and beautiful carvings is true this house has lots. Back in the old days people weren't as rushed as they are today and good craftmanship was very much appreciated. People took pride in their work and "stuff" wasn't rushed through and assembly line. I can't imagine living in this palatial mansion and the beautiful clothes the women wore back then. Great video, thank you!
The hardwood floors were unreal.. stairway very nice.. lots of love and attention to detail was given when built.. smaller kitchen..fireplaces were awesome...every room...great explore. Thank you
Thank you for showing the doors, the door knobs ( when they are not new ), the floors, all the wood work, taking your time. Fire places had each their own different ceramic tiles . ( Each room needed a fire place, that was the only heating system ) . Interesting when we can see the old wall paper
Oh I hope someone restores this place! I can't believe places so amazing get abandoned!!! Thanks Kappy for showing this to us
Thank you for reposting this, Kappy! I was so bummed I couldn’t see it yesterday!
Me too!! Thank you Kappy
This one made me happy. Shes grand. Still has her fretwork. And still has HOPE, Most of all ❤️. Great job Kappy, I LOVE HER😍🥰😘
Kappy I Love how you take time to share the important decals and designs of this old home. A decade ago my husband and family drove by this place and i always wanted to see the inside to get a feeling how they lived back in time/.Thank you for this wonderful explore and God Bless you .
This is one of the nicest houses you have ever done. I appreciated all the details you included from the carved wood wallpaper hard ware flooring! It was all beautiful and looked like with a pile of money it could be saved! You really foundva gem!!:great video Kappy!
a bit nicer than I thought after the first video...she has lots of life left in her ...some family could easily own her another 200 years with some work.....surprised she isnt on the historical list..keep them coming ....
This home is gorgeous! The true craftsmanship is why it has withstood time. Too bad no one has restored this house. Great find!
Light quality much better now. THANK YOU! And yes I agree w others-- Someone please save this house!
I love that you appreciate these magnificent old homes ~ I own a Victorian home, built 1889 & have worked hard to try to respect & preserve, the heritage of this beautiful old house.,
The “doorway to nowhere” was probably a door that opened out onto a balcony that has fallen off and been removed. Our 112 yr. old house was built by the owner who lived here for 60 plus years then his second wife and widow lived here another 10 before we bought it from her. There is an “L” shaped balcony and there are two doors that go out onto the balcony...there are 4 doors to the outside downstairs. The man who built this house, when he was 27, was very concerned about fire therefore he made sure you could hopefully escape. The house you are showing has what is called “pier and beam” and looks like it has a basement. Our house is pier and beam, is 4025 sq. ft., two story but there are not too many basements in east Texas...soil is too sandy. Neat old house you are showing.
My husband and I own a home in central Illinois that was built in 1884. It has 4 stories and it to has a door that goes nowhere.
It's located off the 2nd story landing of the back staircase used by the servants. Having 5 children and our youngest only 2 years of age when we bought this house, we removed what was left of the rotted staircase when we moved in over 24 yrs ago. The front formal staircase was intact and well taken care of.
When you live in a house like this (ascwell as the many you've shown now abandoned on your channel) you come to realize you are but the lastest caretaker for the next generation who will live within these strong walls. You do your best to preserve the original while finding places to put your own stamp of ownership to leave behind. You HAVE to LOVE the house first and foremost and secondly, you have to have a very strong marriage!
As weird as this may sound, these old homes will 'speak' to you...While you care for it, it cares for you and those you love.
So many BEAUTIFUL abandoned homes... Lost and forgotten with no one to tell their stories of the people who once lived there. So very sad!
I just adore how much you appreciate the gorgeous architecture from the 1800’s. 👍👍
OMGosh this home HAS TO BE RESTORED!
Indeed.
If not Kappy must go with a truck and start removing things from it before Bulldozes level it .Just the stair case and the fire places would worth few thousand dollars
somebody save this house
Thanks for posting this. I agree, it's a beautiful old house, even in it's current state. It's a miracle that the squatters didn't accidentally burn it down. Hopefully with some attention drawn to it, somebody will step up and save it. Good job!
Very interesting and educational video! Thanks for posting. I’ve been interested in Southern plantation houses and mansions for years. As a teenager I worked in tobacco with folks from the South who came north to Canada after their own tobacco was finished for the season. I’ve been taken with the Southern culture and drawls ever since. Cheers!
This is what people should do with their lottery winnings ,not buy fancy expensive cars and new homes . People are forgotten over time ,and no amount of money can fix that , but when a person does something good no matter what statice in life they are ,they will never be forgotten ,especially when they restore a home
With my luck it would be haunted. Lol
@@The3289691 COOL! AS LONG AS THE SPIRITS ARE FRIENDLY....LOL
Yes. Nicely said.
**status**
A bucket list for me and most likely far fetched is to rebuild my childhood home from the original blueprints...it is a Victorian, still in use but is split into two apartments.
That house restored would be a beautiful Bed and Breakfast.
baates motel!
I’d love to have it for myself! I love it. Get all that paint off the fireplace and expose the beautiful wood. It makes me sick when they paint all that old wood Bc it’s either oak or mahogany. It’s beyond me why people would paint over that beautiful wood. It’s usually Bc they don’t realize how valuable the wood is.IS THE HOUSE FOR SALE?
@@Mxmom121 it isn't listed for sale according to Zillow.

It sure would

We need to share your talent on other forms of social media. I’d love for you to have your own channel. Stay safe and can’t wait for the next one. 😊
As a carpenter i wish more people could afford wood work like this. Big business killed that.
Someone apparently 'sqatted' there. I cannot believe humans can be so filthy and destructive to such a beautiful house. Or allowed to be there. It is such a discrace and so sad.
My thoughts exactly! Such filthy pigs.
Agree
You'd be surprised, there are some pretty filthy people that have no respect for their own life. Sad but true
google: 208 Adams Street Sparta GA
There's a Facebook page that states someone died there.
I'm sure they weren't allowed to be there. They just took advantage of it's abandonment.
Gorgeous! Those fireplace mantels! This could be so beautiful again. Wish all those rich people out there would invest in restoration of old houses like these.
Thank you for reloading it! I did the best I could watching the first version and thought it was beautiful, but WOW!! I agree it needs the restoration to be completed! Love it! Thanks again Kappy- John
Such a beautiful home, still in amazingly good shape. To allow this home to further deteriorate is not a good thought. There should be a law where these homes that are abandoned, someone with the financial means to renovate, can move in and restore it and become the owner. I know this sounds crazy, but I just hate seeing these homes going to waste because of noone involved caring enough to save them. This is better than all of these fantastic homes just wasting away and or being left to be vandalized.
This house was built by someone of great wealth. All those details did not come cheap, even 200 years ago.
@charleskra...you are right..people then did really good work
@@mustangsally5051 it's known as pride in their workmanship. Something mostly lost anymore
yeah, slave owners!
@@Sean72_ No, it wasn't built by slave owners. First of all, Queen Ann homes didn't even exist when there was slavery. They were built from the 1880s to about 1910. The date mentioned in this video is incorrect. This home was probably owned by a successful businessman or professional. Queen Ann homes were far more popular in the northern states than the southern states.
@@bmfilmnut I've been waiting for someone to correct the time period! You are right. Maybe he said that by mistake 🤷♀️
Each fireplace is custom and beautiful. Only way they stayed warm then, so needed in every room! I so hope someone does. I had a friend but a 3 story, 150 year old house and redo it. Just the remodel was over 1 million, but it was breathaking. Had a kitchen on two floors when I saw it before anything done. 🧡
This place is lovely and has the potential to be that way again. I love the walk around porch and all the original woodwork. That floor was great. Thank you for sharing and you have a great day
Love those pocket doors. Had to watch again. And the parquet floor is stunning. 💯💫💫💫💫
This beautiful house needs to be seen by the perfect person with a budget to handle along with the knowledge... 🏰
Everyone please smash that like button and leave a comment to show Kappy we appreciate his hard work. Absolutely stunning house that I hope gets fixed up. Also amazing that after 200 yrs, nothing on the stairs woodwork was broken or damaged.
What a fantastic tour of a fabulous mansion!! Loving everything about it! I do hope that loving arms will wrap her up tight, and care her well!! I can see smiling faces!
I am so glad you showed this house! I have eyeballed that house since I was a kid. It had a dumb waiter in I back in the 90s. I have always wondered what it looked like inside now that it's been abandoned! Thanks for sharing!
Kappy! Thank you for the reload! This is a jaw dropping home! Keep being awesome! 👍❤️😊
Could that have been the summer kitchen below the house? My hubby just found an enamel door knob that was on his great grandma’s house before and made it into the gear shift knob on our truck! We love it lol! The fireplaces were absolutely gorgeous! I really hope someone will restore this house! Thank you so much for reposting this video I was soooo bummed yesterday when I couldn’t watch! You’re my favorite explorer!
I think you’re right. The kitchens used to be separate from the house, or in the basement level. That huge fireplace would have been where they cooked.
Found the house and pulled this info. Incase you missed it the address was on the glass above the front door. Pretty easy to locate from there.
Located at: 208 Adams Street, Sparta, Ga.
The original structure, built in 1820, was a plantation-plain house on a high basement. Bought by Edmund Pendleton in 1853, the house was expanded to accomodate his large family. After its purchase by R.A. Graves in 1880, the house was altered to its present Victorian style. The house features bay windows with octagonal spires on the one-room-deep second story, and a one-story wraparound veranda with turned posts. Decorative brackets at the top of the posts create a series of arches. The railing enclosing the veranda features a unique geometrical pattern. A projecting pediment with fan motif marks the entrance to the veranda.
Slide annotated: "Sparta, Georgia."
Date of structure: 1820.
Thank you 🌹
I tried that address on Bing and Zillow but it doesn't pull up anything.
Nevermind. I found it. Thanks.
I was going to say, the details are late 1880's early 1900 style. Thanks for posting this info.
Thank you so much for sharing your information, this is an amazing home.
Its so heartbreaking to see such a beautiful home in such a sad condition :o( The woodwork on the staircase is spectacular!! I would buy this in a heartbeat and restore it.
I just started to watch abandon houses. My daughter bought me an I phone & I am learning how to use it. I live in Canada 🇨🇦 & have seen many a house come down, that shouldn’t have. I love older houses Victoria & other types. That house is beautiful. It probably was liveable & would have made a nice house for a family. I have trouble understanding why when someone bought this house & didn’t want to live in it, why they just didn’t rent the house out. Money every month & have someone keeping up with repairs & landscaping. I loved 🥰 the parquet floors & how each room had it’s own fireplace. The reading room would have been excellent for children’s reading time. This is the first house I have seen. I watch on my iPhone most times. I watch the paranormal stories with my daughter, on her TV. Keep on doing what you do, documenting places that won’t be there because of progress.
Thank you for reposting this video with the lighting issues fixed. It was definitely worth watching again! This is one house that, with the right owner and a decent amount of money, could be returned to its glory days. If that ever happens, I hope you get the chance to go back and revisit it.
Very gorgeous house! It saddens me that squatters appear to have overran the place. I do hope someone can restore it and save it. It's a relic for sure. It might be too much house for one person, but I could see it turned into a bed and breakfast. Looks like whoever built it was well off financially. It reminds me of the Old House from the 60's tv show, Dark Shadows. And why the image of late actor Jonathan Frid as Barnabas and Willie Loomis (John Karlan) moving in and reeking havoc, I haven't an idea why. I guess the spookiness, and dust, cobwebs just reminds me of my favorite show. It looks like an ideal filming location for a creepy old house movie, and/ or remake of a vampire classic movie. 😊
Man what I wouldn't give to be able to restore this beauty and turn it into a small bed and breakfast! Wow! Can't you imagine living in such a beautiful, just absolutely stunning home!? It's something I could never even dream of! It's such an absolute shame that the previous owners didn't CHERISH this jewel! I can't imagine the lengths I would go through to restore this beauty!
What a wonderful old house! Love all the cool details like the inlaid floor, the pocket doors, all those beautiful fireplaces, the excellent woodwork! True craftsmanship! I hate seeing lovely old houses like this go to seed; if I had the $$$, I'd buy this baby & restore it to its former glory.
Beautiful home with beautiful fireplaces!!! Hope it can be saved !!! Thanks Kappy !!!!
Thank you Kappy! Love your work and your respect for the old and forgotten! Please be safe wherever you film!
Beautiful house, I hope it gets restored too!, it deserves it. This one is my favorite of all the old homes that you've shown us, or just feels like home. Thanks for sharing 😊🏡🏤🌹
It must have had a remodel during victorian times. There was both eastlake and victorian wood trimming in this home. It hurts my soul to see such a charming place go into such disrepair while not offering it for sale.
Exactly! The house was built in 1815 and then had a huge remodel in the late 1800’s and given the Victorian front and expanded on for a growing family
I was thinking that too. My little daughter has an entire Eastlake bedroom set. ❤️so rare that I hear that term.
True!!
the Victorian work was done in the 1880s and the last restoration work was from the late 1980s to the early 1990s, it was the last time the outside and a lot of the inside was painted. It's held up pretty well considering.
@@TarynsTime I was just about to comment this. My Victorian was built in 1883 and the door knobs he commented were from 1910, were actually from the 1880's. My house is full of them. You can see a lot of French influence in the fixtures throughout. I have the same window trim and a lot of the wood trim in my house. The fireplaces in my house are not as ornate as this house was. This house was really built with love for someone.
I just love places like that with those big windows and wrap around porches the floors with the designs in them and the grand staircase and always the fire places.
This home is so beautiful. I love everything about it the staircase,the wooden shutters, fireplaces, servants staircase,rap around porch,pocket doors. I could go on and on. The doorknobs,windows, I would love to have the money to fix it and live there. Thanks for sharing this video.
Everything they built 200 years ago is better than anything we build today. Thy put do much effort into detail. We build boxes of cheep wood.
Why in the world hasn't someone snatched this beauty up?
Cause a lot of people don't like work
@@nancysmith1432 then why don’t you buy it and fix it up?

@@nancysmith1432 Well, if you have a device. FreeCycle is where people give items. If it can still be used, Clothes, bookbags etc. You can ask for boxed food if anyone has extras in their house no one is eating. Crackers etc. So you can look in offers or ask for a Wanted. See which town you are in. Select that one or one close by to it. As of now there are porch pick-ups. It is over e-mail, but you can give a number for communication. Careful with anything suspicious on there. It's not much, but only thing I thought of from being far away from ya. You can pass that down to your grand daughters. Make sure you have your log-in to e-mail and account info. As long as you can charge and connect. Anyone curious it's worldwide and donation run. It's considered a charity.
Location where there are no jobs any more. It would have to be someone wealthy that has that kind of interest.
Good gracious...what a Grand old beautiful lady. My dream is to get one of these neglected ladies and restore original. Shame someone painted that fireplace and woodworking.
I love the outside architecture of this house. Absolutely my favorite. The carved wood molding and hardware is beautiful. I hope that this beautiful home will be restored.

I hope and pray someone someone rescues this beautiful old house! Nicole Curtis where are you?? Love those pocket doors!
How could I get please

@@craigetheridge4257 Remember where? As in where was the town ya live in? I want to see it on the maps of Google.
What was the strangest thing you encountered in your house visits.?
That house was built by a real craftsman with all that beautiful wood carving in it. I really hope someone restores it
That was cool!!! I loved the design of it.. I kept thinking a captain for a ship designed it. So beautiful thank you for sharing.
I would LOVE to get my hands on this one for a restore. SO PRETTY! Love all the woodwork!
This is such a gorgeous house, even in its rundown state! It's a shame that someone is using it as their personal junk storage space! Somebody needs to buy this house and restore it to its former glory. It would make a REALLY nice bed and breakfast place!
So glad you were able to reload. Much better. Very interesting house. Looks like it had a significant Victoria remodel. Still gorgeous.

This house looks Victorian in every way way. It doesn't look 200 years old unless it was expanded on the shell of a 200 year old house. Looks like it was once well maintained and renovated in it's day...definitely worth saving.
Try reading the video description before commenting.
Look at the work that was involved in building this place. Fantastic.
By far the best part of urbexing is the history, and my god you have documented some history. That home was/is beautiful. I'm surprised its still standing and not ruined by graffiti!
Thanks Kappy! This was worth the wait. Great find and well documented.
Glad it worked for you this time hallelujah
This house in in my home town close to macon Ga it was a beautiful in th 90 hope someone fix it up.
What a absolutely beautiful house. Just loved all that wood work and hardware. ✅👌
Oh WOW! Love your videos and enthusiasm, Kappy! Just incredible.
Wow ... now THIS place is worth the investment of the restoration! Hope someone gets diligently on that ...
These old Queen Anne Vic's are gorgeous!
Thanks for the vid Kappy 🙋
What a beautiful house. 😍 lots of gorgeous woodwork.
This upload looked perfect on my iPhone 🤩 What a grand old house. I love the paint scheme on the exterior. It reminds me of the Painted Ladies houses in San Francisco. Lovely woodwork. She’s a beaut, inside and out. I hope someone saves her.
That's my dream home, gorgeous. Totally renovated of course.
Wow!! This place is beautiful!! I would love to refurbish and live in it. They don't make things the way they used to.
I just found your site. I love the 1890s and early 1900 style of home. You have done an amazing job. I wish you were on TV!!
Exquisite! So much incredible woodwork. Definitely would be worth saving. Thank you so much for the tour!
The foyer floor was incredible. I can’t imagine that a salvage company wouldn’t come in here and repurpose the floors, staircase and railings.
Why would they do that? Are you saying they should go in and steal it? At some point someone was in there stripping the paint off the woodwork. Whether or not they are still working on it, it appears someone owns it and had plans of restoring it. Maybe the person working on it died and their family owns it.
But if you rip out the floor and staircase, you might as well tear the whole house down.
@@babybunny1967 often when homes are being demolished or abandoned, legitimate salvage companies will pay for the salvage rights to a home. They then go in and remove anything that their company can resell or reuse on another property. I would rather see that happen than all these beautiful floors just crumble with time.
P
Yall are paining me saying something about tearing bits and pieces out of the house for scrap.
@@sharondinwiddie308 people don’t seem to realize no one with money is buying a house in a depressed area. I agree it should be salvaged. All these old houses in disrepair have plenty of salvage in them.
This house can be saved. What a shame to tear it down.
I'm thinking developers if there's property with it.
Massive $$$ to do it though - needs to be moved
@@MTknitter22 Yeah. Cost a fortune to restore !
The “doorway to nowhere” was probably a doorway to an outside porch. Very common to have those on the 2nd and 3rd story back in those days.
Yes, a sleeping porch.
Loved the video it would be amazing to see it back in it's glory again. Loved the fireplaces in every single room plus being all different styles.
I love this house and all the excellent craftsmanship. It should be illegal to abuse and abandon a work of art, which this house truly is. I especially love the inlaid floors in the entry all. I can't begin to imagine the hours it took to design and install that floor. I wish I could clean it and wax it back to it's original beauty.
