Stunning Abandoned 130 year old Boarding House Up North in the Mountains

- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- This old house up north in the mountains was built in the late 1800’s originally as a boarding house when the area was much more popular and known for its resorts. Beautiful historic old house with stained glass and tons of incredible old hand carved woodwork as well as architecture. Lots of old details like a stone foundation and a hand carved newel post. As well as some old antiques like an old piano and steamer trunk. The house features a very unique exterior with a gambrel/ second empire mansard roof, which I found very unique. Had never seen a house like it before so I really hope it can be saved and restored. Just glad I was able too document this beautiful old house on film and photographs. Thanks for watching!

This was one large house. I loved seeing all of the beautiful wooden doors that have stood the test of time. For this 81 year old it was a treat to see the appliances in the kitchen, bought back some memories for me as a child growing up. I did notice the tub had different feet vs a claw foot tub. I was thinking as you were filming what in the world did they do to heat those rooms! The wooden floors in the layout pattern was awesome. A shout out to Ruby as the two of you are a great team. Thanks again for all you do to bring us memories of days of old.
That stove needs to be restored that is a treasure.
Those old coal stokers can put out some real heat probably was used to heat that whole upstairs. Only thing is the constant pain in the ass hauling coal up and ashes down.
The old refrigerator looked in prime condition considering its age. Today, a collector would pay good money to recuse it. The old stove has value too; I loved the timer feature on the oven.
Very neat house. I can just imagine it back in the day.....
Thanks Kappy & Ruby🙋
What a beautiful home wish someone would save it
Interesting place!!! I appreciate knowing the feeling that both you & Ruby felt…tells a lot about a place!!! Loved the beautiful staircase, stained glass, piano & trunk…sad to see that they cannot be removed, restored & enjoyed again by someone else 😰😞😢 Also too bad that the old bottles, glassware, door hardware, doors & window casings can’t be saved 😢😞😰 Such timeless treasures lost😰😞😢 The design in the floor was amazing!!! Such craftsmanship went into its creation!!! I’m glad that Ruby was able to accompany you on this explore 👍 Thank you Kappy for sharing this wonderful adventure with us!!! I loved it ❤️💕♥️
Yay, Ruby is back! You guys make a great team!!! Cool old house...I agree, it would be a great B&B, but would probably cost a fortune to fix!
I believe that Kalamazoo stove was made to burn coal. Used to have one kind of like it.
Pantry/storage area was by far the coolest part!
When I was growing up we had a refrigerator just like the first one you showed. I always look forward to your videos. I am 72 years old and I see so many familiar things in these old houses. Brings back so many good memories for me. You always seem to appreciate and have so much respect for all the homes that you video.
That kitchen stove and wallpaper!!! 😍
This is not a house. It’s a boarding house with customers. Care takers provided for the guests. Remembering it’s a boarding house the lay out makes perfect sense.
Kappy! I love this house…mainly because of childhood memories or something! I am 75…and there was a similiar house in my town, a lot of friends lived over the years. It was called the Pennsylvania house, think it was built as a rooming house for the railroad people…anyway …wonderful memories….I hated to see it torn down. the tiny rooms, only big enough for half bed and a dresser…and thank you for looking at newspaper..from a time I was a teenager. Thanks for the memories..from the hills of WV.
This place is an antique lovers dream. It's on a main road not deep in the woods with all this great stuff still in there like the Stained glass windows, iron headboards, steamer trunk, beautiful old stove and refrigerator, bottles, iron wood stove, etc...weird nobody hasn't backed a truck up to this bldg.
The floors, doors and hardware ❤❤❤
That was really great Kappy & Ruby. Still standing, no graffiti,no broken windows, tons of different wallpaper….. I wish those walls could talk. I can only imagine traveling back in the day. We are just a tad spoiled, compared to getting around back then. That trunk didn’t look extremely bad. What a shame that can’t be rescued & restored along with those beautiful stained glass windows. That’s a new one, a ladder into the basement 😂Come on Kap, you should have went down. Kidding. Stay safe
Both are refrigerators and the knob on stove is the oven thermostat! Would love those in my house!
I love the old stove and the floor pattern is awesome. Thank you for sharing this gem.
Hi, Kappy and Ruby! What a cool Dutch Colonial. All that lovely wood...wonder where the original fireplaces were? Must've been cool upstairs, and glacial on the less expensive upper floor! Thanks for the tour!
Old hotel. Super cool.
This is a classic Dutch Colonial style house with three full above ground levels Kappy!... Very Nice Style... 👍⭐😏
Those old wall mounted toilet tanks were huge and held a lot of water. Haven't seen them in use for decades but they sure provided a long and powerful downward flush as I recall. Nice run too. Several of the old porcelain bathroom sinks used to have a depressed bar soap area just above the overflow drain which had a hole in it for the water from the soap to drain out.
Holy Moly I want that stove the green white enamel one!
Aww your girl is with you! That kitchen is a step back in time. The hole in the bathroom floor was to pass extra toilet paper through. The old heating system is cool! I remember those fuses. We used to have a tub like that too. Wow, even an old wringer washer. We had one of those too when I was a younger man. Very cool Kappy!
Urban Exploring With Kappy thanks for sharing this video with me about Stunning Abandoned 130 year old Boarding House Up North in the Mountains it was a really nice old house and i really enjoyed it so much and God Bless.
The old newspaper used to line the closet shelves. I remember those ads back then.
This house must’ve been quite beautiful back it’s day! Wow! The wallpaper and the wood features in the house must’ve been gorgeous back in the day! It’s sad to see how the elements have destroyed it over the decades.
Egad Mack, Martha and Major Hoople have been gone since 1971. (You’re probably not old enough to get the reference)
Amazing to find a place that old that hasn’t been ransacked or vandalized
That stove looks like a nice restoration piece.
Gorgeous! I wish it was my home 🏠
This is James Barrow it's a beautiful house it can be saved instead of demolish it and can be turned to a bed and breakfast
9:03 this is a fuse box with fuses. The floor does not have fire damage, thats just the old finish cracking, I have old furniture that looks like that too.
that date on that newspapper was my first birthday. love your vids kappy.
I want this house SOOOO bad and I've only seen two rooms! Wow. This kind of house is why urbex is my passion..houses in general, they have a life all their own..💎
Now that place could be fixed up as a bread and breakfast too and I can live in a trailer behind it.🙂👍❤️
You literally find some of the best, and oldest houses to show us! Unfortunately, like the others it’s been left to go to waste
Oh so want this place saved
What an amazing old place! That place must have some stories to tell. I am glad you showed the pretty wallpapers.
I'm so glad the vandals haven't destroyed that one. I hope someone gets those gorgeous stained glass windows before it's too late. They would look fantastic on a Craftsman style bungalow or a log cabin. Also that old refrigerator and stove are probably worth some money as well. That stove/oven is actually very pretty. Can't say I've ever seen a "pretty" stove until now.
Great find!
This house has been preserved very well for being so close to a main road.
beautiful would love to fix it up and live there
Oh wow that old fuse box! Our family home had that kind of electricity before our folks upgraded it! I remember unscrewing and old blown fuse & putting in a new one!
Thank u
That record case downstairs is worth A LOT
9:00. Yes, electrical. That's a fuse box before circuit breakers. Fuse would blow, and you had to screw a new one in.
I still have the glass fuses in my house, their getting harder to find, my home was built in 1968, someday I have to get the fuse box updated to breakers!
@@samporter8290 My house had them when we bought it. The insurance company gave me 60 days to upgrade or they would cancel my homeowners policy.
The box under the stairs you found was an old fuse box.
Hey Kappy and Ruby. Great find! Looks like someone is at least going to salvage the doors and trim. Loved the old stove with the timer. The upstairs fuse box was cool too. Lots of great wallpaper. Thanks again for sharing. ✌️
Nice place!... that wasn't any fire damage, it was the years of varnish lifting off the floor boards...needs stripped and redone.
This is so cool!! So awesome that you guys get to do this. How do you find these places and get to go in them? My bf and I have been trying to get into this for years now. This is just beautiful.
I noticed they have taken all the beautiful trim down. Ceiling and floor.
You and Ruby found a gem! Nice to see it as it was left, no vandalism and junk on floor. Would love that kitchen stove and stove on 2nd floor. Looks like someone was stripping the doorframes and doors off but for what purpose? They werent taken so perhaps to remodel and gave up. Maybe it doesnt have a full basement and just partial like a root cellar. If the house appears to be sinking in one area only. Thanks for this great explore Kappy!
Solid hardwood doors, frames, and baseboards are in demand by restorers of older homes.
Hi Ruby! I'd love to have that old cook stove! They are nice to cook with outdoors.
It wound be sweet place to stay if when to a lot place in spring or summer months be place again if had money repair or replace stuff in it
we call them Beakie Birds, for special notices and mail/checks, we have one and use it all the time.
Looks like the luxury rooms were on the third floor.
The carpenter's locks on all of those doors are worth a lot too... can't believe it's all intact! That bubbling on the floor looks like someone put a stain on that wasn't meant for the floor. Someone took all of the door and floor trim though :(
Not sure where this place is, or what the area is zoned for, but… I’m seeing this place gutted into an open floor plan and making into a bar / restaurant / live music type venue. Not sure if the location would support that kind of endeavor, but that’s a cool building… or maybe an Air B&B.
KAPPS MAH-MAN! 🤗
Neat old place.
The bubbling on the floor isn't from fire. Age and temp changes
The ceiling in that room needs a little attention.👍
all the doors in that home are worth more then the house itself, resell
I'd live there
The boards in that room looked like bed slats.
The floor design is called log cabin design,very used by quilters making log cabin quilts.
what a beautiful house to let go to waste it is just shameful
As usual another great video I'm glad that your girlfriend is with you but awesome video as always like the old fashioned stove very nice
La casa por los sanitarios y electrodomésticos fue habitada hasta la década del 40', parece
We're is this house...it amazing
could have been a boarding house for War Veterans. there's one here in The LA harbor area. but it's not as old. 1908 or so.
You wonder how a really strong thunderstorm couldn't bring that down
As with many of the places you go there is a load of salvageable material
Cool place! What state is it in?
You both did not fall thru the floor so it's in pretty good shape
Ohh yeah! That place definitely has some strong energy! Not necessarily bad, but it wouldn't surprise me if ya'll weren't actually alone, if you know what I mean. lol Very cool place though! Would make a kick ass house.
Where would you find this place
There are a few people who invest money into fixing up old houses, but not nearly enough.
The roof must have a lot of leaks to have so much water damage inside.
coal burner stove, got one too!
Bathroom needs a little work too👍
NICE TO GET LOST IN TIME!
Fuse box under the stairs….
Yep 60s.
It looks like somebody started to gut it for renovation but backed out of it because the cost of restoring it was to much
Incredible place! Always sad to see them falling apart!
Nice house,needs roof repaired and mold removed,also shoring up the floors from the basement,people do it every day.house is fixable ,good bones
Imagine being a weary traveler in the 1800's, this must have been a sight for tired eyes. The porch was probably a wrap around that had room for several chairs/swings. There likely was a large dining table that could seat several guests, and most meals were probably served buffet style at the table. The piano in the large parlor would have been a source of nightly entertainment, there may have been a sing-a-long every night. The fact that those stained glass windows are still intact after 200+ years is amazing, thanks Ruby & Kappy see you next week!
Well said !! Great observations! Can almost imagine it as it were a hundred years ago! Thank you very much for the kind words and watching!! :)
Dain you were probably born in there lol
Lmao
@@katedaphne4495 At what?
@@bubblesangel555
Not sure
My roommate uses my tablet sometimes
He can be a wack
This old home is beautiful, and cleaned out. That icebox was spotless, lots and lots of antiques. If walls could talk. Lot's of memories. I love it. Kappy and Ruby for all y'all do. You both are amazing.❤️💙
The antiques were very cool! I was shocked too see them! Much appreciated for that and the kind words! Thank you! Glad you enjoy! :)
The place def deserves to be restored. The rooms are really too small for a bed and breakfast but wouldn't take much imagination to put it back in a useful state for say a small guest lodge or even a seasonal retreat of sorts in the summers and lodge hunters during the hunting seasons. It does have a money making potential.
@@kyledonatto1779 I think u want to take all the antiques and good stuff.u don’t need to go there just watch the video and be happy dude.
Nice to see an old house that wasn't renovated at any point and still has a lot of old things in it. Those toilets were from the 1920's-30's, they are for sale online for around $1000. I thought that old dark pantry was awesome, probably the most original part of the house along with the kitchen. I would love to have seen a closer look at the old dishes and stuff.
Well, unfortunately they lowered the ceiling and covered the downstairs wall with cheap panelling. Most of the rooms were empty. There were very few antiques remaining in this boarding house.
@@wendycrawford1792 as expected for an abandoned house. Lol I didn't expect to see anything at all . There were actually quite a few items there that I would have thought were already taken out . Wherever this is , it is a hidden gem . No graffiti, no kids breaking everything.. I wish all abandoned places were this nice . But , kids ruin everything.. they destroy everything that doesn't belong to them .
Me too!
@@wendycrawford1792 The grand prize antique itself is the entire property and hotel. It would be a fabulous summer lodge to run & take in vacationing guests... I stayed in a place much like that in upstate New Hampshire kind of a remote area. The lodge had just opened & advertised for hunters. There was a one large hand carved bar in the downstairs and a dining area whereas I got to meet other hunters and we sort of all met got along and hunted a spot together. I got a huge deer that 1st year thanks to this older guy inviting me into his party made up of him his two sons and a two grand sons. By the end of the week it was almost like we were all a family and we still get together and hunt there. its the atmosphere the place is kept extremely clean and it is kept a pleasant warm temp so after hunting all day and warm shower the warm downstairs atmosphere the huge old fireplace & antiques all over just wins you over keeps me coming back when I can afford to leave my life and go. Meeting my old friends there is also another part of all of it... The memories we have of each other sharing our past years pictures instead of FB and crap we print the pictures and toss em around to each other.
The dropped ceilings and wood stripping aren't even close to original. That stained glass room gives me a 70s vibe.
Bet this place was buzzing with life and activity back in it's prime !! Imagine the people coming and going in and out if only the walls could tell us there stories . I bet this was a real Gem to see in her time . That big old coal/wood stove upstairs was cool to see !! The stained glass was pretty !! Really neat video Kappy !!
Well said! Couldn’t agree more! Would’ve loved to have seen this place 100 years ago! Thank you very much for the kind words and watching! :)
i was just watching and enjoying the video and when you opened the cabinet and the shelf paper was an old newspaper, i was excited to see the date...... it is my exact birthday!! Wha? kind of freaked me out. I was amazed at the beautiful doors and woodwork, flooring etc. so cool!
Really interesting explore. Someone removed all the baseboard, door frames, and doors with hardware. Yet all that beautiful stained glass remains! No one’s broken them , or graffitied up the walls.
That original kitchen complete with antique stove and appliances was amazingly intact and really cool! I do have a suggestion though: that kitchen sink was really special but you barely showed a glimpse of it from across the room. I have a fascination with vintage sinks, appliances, toilets and fixtures, but you rarely give us a close look at them. In the future could you make it a point to give us a better look at those items? And go into the bathrooms and pan around to show the sinks and toilets. Would be much appreciated! Thanks! I also noticed most of the baseboard trim, doorframes and doors had been removed, but seemed to be just stacked up in other rooms. Wonder what that was about?
PS...I noticed you didn't close the lid over the piano keys or close the cupboard where the old newspaper was. Would be nice to see those things closed to protect them. I really enjoy your videos & always look forward to them!
Wonderful video!! But I agree with regard to the kitchen sink and having a closer look at it! I was also fascinated by what appeared to be a sink in the adjoining pantry. Those were the days when nobody cared if the drainpipes were vented; "S" traps all the way. I would have loved to see a close up of that...never have seen anything like that before!
LOL you're not the only one that loves old kitchen and bathroom fixtures. Unfortunately, Kappy doesn't focus on those things very much. He missed the antique toilet on the second floor that was to the right of the bathroom with the tub and sink. I started to collect old fixtures hoping one day to use them. I have about 10 amazing complete toilets from the 1920s and before, that are like new, as well as 10 or 11 sinks of all sorts. They'll probably get dumped when I drop dead.
The word stunning doesn’t do this home justice. The stained glass is gorgeous and the woodwork! Laaaaawd just let me hit the lotto! Lol! I don’t know how you find out about these amazing places Kappy but we’re sure glad that you do and that you share them with us. You never disappoint! Thanks Kappy and as always, stay safe and I can’t wait for the next amazing find! ❤️
Couldn’t agree more! Such a unique house inside and out! Thank you so much always for the kind words, makes me happy to hear you enjoy still! Thanks Melissa!! :)
I hope someone who will love it is able to save it.
APPLIANCES WERE HEAVYDUTY MADE!
The wood floors are so beautiful, someone could take the floors out and make lots of money. It's. a shame no one could fix this beautiful old home up to it's beautiful self. It would take a ton of money to do it, just like Kappy said earlier.❤️
Def early turn of the century with that flooring.
I wish I could turn it in to a boarding house again, making affordable housing for folks..it sure is big enough ❤
Loved this house. The old stove and frig in the kitchen I want them for my house. This house still has alot to say. Great job speaking for her
Agreed beautiful antiques! Thank you for the kind words and watching! :)
Oh and I want to say hello and hi to Ruby she's very nice young lady I'm hoping she will do more videos with you
Hi William! I hope you’re having a wonderful holiday season 😊 much Love to you and your family -Ruby☀️
