- Hey house lovers and explorers! Thought I would upload a early week bonus video for ya`s. :-)
This beautiful example of the late 40`s/early 50`s is influenced by the art deco/waterfall styles that came back after the 2nd WW. I have known about this place for several years and but recently I took the plunge to go in and explore it. Lots of stuff left behind and questions to be answered.......
Hope you all enjoy, cheers for watching :-)
🌟Oh beauty a bonus extra just tucking myself into bed and then a surprise notification from my best favourite urban explorer! Wow what a house it sure would have been beautiful in it’s prime such a shame it’s left unloved. Thank you so much 😊 ❤🌟x:-)
Bonus video! Hope you enjoy Megan, cheers for the support! :-)
Are we getting spoiled .. two videos this week.
Must have done something good to get this treat. 😂😂
Thus house looks identical to my Grandparents house i grew up in. .. but that was in Glen Falls . Upstate New York.
Not a suburb somewhere in Australia.
Same outside stone and brick. Same Cherizo flooring (my grandfather brother used to do that flooring and showed me how they used to make it. Its brllliant and i still love that flooring look). .
We had a granny flat build on upstairs on our house with a kitchette , bathroom, small lounge room and two bredrooms (for my brother Lex and I).
Anx our bathroom was Green , Aqua and Black with the stand alone wall shower like rhis one. And the deep inset large bath. Our flloor had a Keltie (Mythical Sea Dragon) in the bathroom floor.
But the house was on a small farm lot. (We are Navajo) and we had stables for the horses The big Brick garage for 2 cars ans Grandpas workshop we bever were allowed in. The brick laundry. A Brick sleep out with another kitchenette and bathroom my cousin Dawn lived in with her partner Jill.
The chicken coup, the dog kennels (2) , the vegetable garden. The little shed that the vegtable garden tools lived in.
The 4 Grapevines. And the small orchard of 4 apple trres , a lemon tree and two orange trees. And the two small horse yards for the horses.
We had the Bar with rhe Black leather not the red. And our wallpaper was Black ans Gold not red and gold. And fhe wallpaper was fuzzy. I think they called it flocked paper or something.
We also had my grandfathers buisness across the road . He ran a Gym and Wrestling School.
After my grandparents died. My brother Lex and I lived jn fhe house as we inherited it.
Lex got married. I bought his share of the house and both he and i ran fhe gym ans trained horses.
We were both away on the road working (he and i are professional wrestlers). When we got a call from my cousin that the house was on fire.
By the time it was put out not much was left. ..
And sadly what was left was past saving and had to be pulled down.
My brother and i sold up the Gym and the land and moved our families to Florida.
Where work was better and restarted fhe Gym and Wrestling School in Clearwater Florida. .
I still miss my Grandparents and the house. And its been over 20 yrs the house has been gone. And nearly 25 thar grandpa died. 28 for grandma.
But it felt just like you went into their old house and i was soeing it again.
Only we never let the house look that bad.
Of all the explores that I have seen you do, this one definitely looks like it could be haunted,(if I believed in ghosts). I love all the real wood and the art deco designs and fixtures. It's so strange that people who leave these houses leave personal momentos & photos behind. And I'll never understand why some people have to destroy what they can't have. Poor old beautiful house and poor little old garden. Thank you for the explore!🏚
Definitely alot of residual energy in the place
Definite dark vibe. I usually deliberately add dark music to ones that feel dark. Its last few years I feel were not good in there. Cheers for watching :-)
Seems like a lot of hallways. Loved the Art deco and the red leather on the bar was neat! I was glad when you got out of there though. Usually it seems like the homes were inhabited by people “ just living and doing life”, but this one felt sinister. I was wishing you had a buddy exploring with you! Take care and have a great week! And thanks for the extra explore this week.👍🏻😊
I actually lived in a old home once.
It was definitely Evil Presence there.
Foul odour would come and go. Landlord replaced all the drains and sewer pipes. But the smell kept coming back. Would hear footsteps occasionally. During the middle of the night. Bumping noises. I saw shadows
I decided to move. Out. No bull.
Italian family eastern suburbs of Adelaide in the fruit and veg business just a guess
Absolutely beautiful home. Have not seen any exactly like this one before. Something that might be worth trying to get state heritage listed before it too late. They might decline it but never hurts to try. Sometimes council's will put an overlay on them too but depends on how much the council cares about heritage. Not enough people care about heritage in this country, its a disgrace.
Great way to start a Tuesday with a surprise Urbex Indigo video👍🏻
This would of been someone’s dream home back in the day. That pool room and the bar just screams 70s Saturday night cocktails😂
Noisy place to live, however, when you peered through that porthole I knew exactly what road you were on. Iconic building in view😉
What a beautiful home! My granddaughter says that a lone chair in a room is the time-out chair for urbexers who misbehave.
LOL Kate that is gold. I think she may be right! :-)
Pity about the the great hole in the ceiling. Another shame about the loss of art deco houses.
Nice intro man.
Glad you enjoyed it BoneyBoney :-) Thanks for watching
Loved the eerie intro! I would have loved to see this home in its heyday. An unappreciated classical work of art.
I found some real estate pics from 10 years ago showing it all nice and classy and well kept. Will do a shorts video with them :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 We would all love to see them. I know you've shown "before" pics for the houses in the cities, but this would be sooo coool!! But hopefully you will do them on RUclips? This is as far into Social Media as I go...🙀
Bonjour d'Occitanie (France)
Merci pour la visite de cette très belle maison, j'aurais aimé la voir à l'époque de sa construction. Il y a des sections qui sont un peu plus récentes surtout le couloir que vous avez emprunté après la salle de billard. Les corniches, les luminaires étaient très beau Comme la structure "Art Déco" derrière le bar qui est lui aussi magnifique. Les chambres du hauts étaient elles aussi très bien. Personnellement j'aurais mis la chambre parentale dans celle qui avait accès au balcon.
Continuez de nous émerveiller avec ces belles bâtisses
I9 don't know if it was your intro or your first steps in the foyer, but that house has a vibe about it. (and just as I'm typing this you just announced it had a eerie vibe!! ) i would go as far as saying something very bad about that place!! Well i'll keep watching to see how this explore pans out!!
Cheers Heather. Yes a dark vibe. I think its last 5 or so years were not good. I may be wrong. Real estate pics show it was a classy well loved place 10 years ago. Cheers for watching :-)
A house with a public bar (mens and ladies restrooms), is that illegal in Australia?
Maybe they didn't have a license to operate.
That in itself seems wrong somehow to me, maybe that's what gives it it's creepy vibes, unless maybe it was no longer used as a residence.
Someone elsewhere in the comments mentioned a bordello.
@@JohnShinn1960 I have a feeling it was a brothel of some sort. That is the vibe it gives out. I imagine they didn't have a liquor license so yes, i think some pretty illegal things happened here lol
I have a question for you Has anybody answered you when you call out is anybody here?
The red and gold wallpaper behind the bar is exactly the same that my parents had in their house at Seacliff back in mid 70s to early 80's. I will never forget it, didn't like it but seems maybe they added their behind the bar about the same time?? Beautiful home.
Good Morning Paul Hope you are having a great day?When you shown the hole in the roof! Looks to me a part of Air-plane fell off maybe thats why even they left this home someone could have been killed or hospital?Beautiful all away around could have been Madams place for men and woman to you know?. Awesome intro for the beginning of video who knows it very could have haunted place a soul is stuck and dont how to leave.Wonderful explore thanks Paul loved this video .:) take care cheers from Barbie in NWPFL. USA
Yes I agree ..I heard the plane so it's obviously under a runway flight path and things dropping from planes isn't uncommon. We think alike 😉
Nice find mate. Creepy as heck. Looks like a meteorite came through the roof.👍😎🇦🇺
I'm going with something falling from an aeroplane ✈️ as you can hear planes as he's filming . Obviously close to the airport
I always find it incredibly sad when kids’ photos are left behind 😢 Didn’t they matter to the mum? Parents? The report cards show the Bonke Family lived there. The girl’s name was Janet. They possibly emigrated from Canada as there was a British Columbia progress report? (Or at least lived there for a while if the father was posted for work). P.S. that front room with the two porthole windows was gorgeous. I think that was the main bedroom.
Hello, very observant !
We do know more. You are on the right track. ✅️
@@robertmurray8763 thank you ! I wanted to honour the daughter.
@@robertmurray8763 I also followed up the family name on Google and yes, it would appear from the father's obituary (by all accounts, a very nice and well-liked man) that there may well be family members still in Adelaide. Sometimes small items - such as school reports and photos - may simply have been missed when the house was packed up. It would be a nice gesture if someone, somehow, could return Janet's memorabilia to the family.
This was another great explore, Paul - many thanks.
Fantastic! A weekday explore is a great bonus. Stopped what I was doing when I got the notification and now going to watch it, on this wet and dull day in the UK.
Thanks for the support and for stopping bye LWF :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 My pleasure!
Love the bonus video, thanks Paul 😀
Looking at this house on past sales it was last sold in 2013 and according to their info, built in 1953
Paul would be interested to know that piece of information.
Already know. :-) People are figuring out where it is from an iconic building and flight path :-)
Reeks of ex brothel
hi Paul I would not be surprise that home would have been a boarding house in its time the way there were two toilets and the way it was set out the home in itself was lovely but a shame about the hand basin being smashed but again a beautiful home thank you Paul for this great explore of this art deco home
Urbex Indigo thanks my friend for shring thi video with me this place lolks kinda creepy i wonder was it was left Abandoned for so long i wonder if it is haunted we will never now unless you do some ghost hunting in it . i really enjoyed this video my friend i am from the U.S.A and i will always show you support my friend i gave you a thumbs up and shared you out on my community tab my friend and God Bless and thanks again.
Vandals can't keep anything nice ,just because it's abandoned doesn't give them the right to destroy someone's property. What a bunch of Jerks.
I enjoy finding little clues to your location. I found this one on Google maps, was hoping to get an indication of when it was abandoned. Looking at the historical maps I’d guess around 2018. There’s still flower pots around the front then, plus you found a phone book from around that time.
The sealable beer bottles that are scattered around were probably collected to use for the home brew beer.
Yeah a few obvious clues in this one lol. Oops 😁👍 yeah fairly well maintained up till a few years ago
It looks like it was once quite the home and the area was probably quite different when they built the house. Now it sounds like it’s on a very busy road and on the flight path of an airport. You certainly couldn’t enjoy yourself outside with that racket going on.
The bathroom floor is this home is the same as my house pink Tarrezzo. My house and house next door were both built in 1940. The house next to my house ( has been owned by our our family and i lived-in for 18 months)is Art Deco.
They had a style of their own. Inside and outside the house, it is still Waterfall Art Deco inside ,mainly built-in furniture, and Art Deco Nouveau outside. a lot of the features you're pointing we're found in Art Deco homes. Such as cupboards that can open from two sides. Certainly in Australia. The town where I live is very Art Deco.
such a shame be so beautiful restored
It’s sad that the quality of design and construction of these beautiful homes is forever a thing of the past. Even new homes costing millions don’t come close to possessing the elegance and strength of these wonderful homes!
Sounds like that home is under a flight path to Adelaide airport ..probably something fell from a plane and crashed through the roof ..happens more often than you think ..had a mates car get destroyed by a large bolt that maintenance had left on the plane wing as it took off from perth airport years ago ..as the plane climbed and turned it fell off and absolutely smashed his car .crumpled the front pillar. Anyway theres a theory to contemplate 🙂
Cheers 🍻 urbex caching up always 👍 a great video stay safe stay cool 😎
I bet this house would have been amazing now it’s just unloved
It was Michelle :-) I will make a shorts video wit the real estate pics. Cheers for watching :-)
Great find , but I hope you never get hurt looking at these places.
Before I saw the hole in the roof, I would of said they moved because the road is too noisy. I couldn't live near that main road, I'd fear for my cats.
Bad things happened in that place. It doesn't feel good even just watching.
This is a 1950s home. The wall lights are worth $1000 if you have a pair.
I wonder if it was used as a private club in later days. If it was a home, there wouldn't be signs for ladies and gentlemen. I think you are right about the fixture behind the bar. Think there would have been mirrors in the recessed white spaces. Such a shame that squatters have to trash places. What kind of kicks do they get out of it Don't understand their mentality. Luckily we haven't seen any of this in many of your videos - just natural decay. Anyway, thanks for the bonus video!
Maybe it was run as a "Place of relaxation" for a while :-) Then things turned bad. Cheers again LWF :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 :-) I was thinking it may have had other uses! :-) Perhaps raided!
P.S. Hope things are ok with you. It must be the small hours of the morning where you are, so hope all is well.
Some kind of gambling den perhaps , the Greeks liked those
Who did the intro, it didn't sound like you. It wasn't a bad house, just didn't care for the layout.
Hi bluerose 🙂 the intro I used samples from and interview I found and tweaked them to sound more creepy 👍😊
@@urbexindigo5164 Thanks for the answer, you did a good job.
Such and interesting explore of an early 1950s Art Deco home, with the fashionable tiled facade, unique to South Australia, during this particular era. As you enter the home, you are greeted with grand internal architecture, impressive during the 1950s. However, as you enter the back of the property it appears as a rabbit warren, with the narrow passage way, leading outside to the garage and backyard. Great interaction Paul, denoting a creepy vibe. If only the walls could talk, imagine the stories told.
Love the new intro , great find keep them coming. Cheers from Blissfield New Brunswick Canada 😊
Cheers, glad you enjoyed :-) Thanks for the support. Cheers from Adelaide :-)
Well that one had a bit of an unnerving atmosphere. How you keep calm is impressive. I did love those ceilings though, and that bathroom would have been gorgous in its day.
Also cheers for the bonus vid!👍
This is the type of explore I prefer because there is much more to see. Keep up the good work Paul 😊
Monday night special!
Urban explores scare me, love them, but...!?!
Come to Tassie ❤️
Hi Sandra! :-) Yes I will try to soon! Cheers for watching
can always tell when y feeling wary with that tone in your "hello"😁geez u were quick to pick up on that energy eh what.Alot to see here and alot to feel too.thanx for spoiling us this week with 2 vids🙃🥰
Thank you for this unique journey. It is interesting to see how people of means could design and build a home to include so many elegant and expensive details. When you explore the working farm homes of the same age we see just a few details as a refining touch in simple, remote, isolated homes. They stand out more and are more lovely and heart warming to me as they soften the sometimes harsh environment they inhabit. Inside an expensive urban home they feel more obligatory.
So sad to see it destroyed it would have been a beautiful home I was watching poirot load of art deco in that show when I noticed that you had a notification I thought that 'scoincidence I hope they can salvage some of the art deco in the house that like fitting was beautiful
Hi catb :-) Thanks for watching again :-)
That was once a beautiful home. I could see cleaning it up and moving in. In America those homes are long gone.
Another great abandoned house but
at least this one is in a neighborhood
and not out in the middle of the nowhere
but still a great house filled with a lot of
interesting things,Thank You for another
great video of these old abandoned places
Thank You very much.🤠👍
Hi Roger! Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed, my pleasure. Many more to come :-)
@@urbexindigo5164
You are very welcome
have a great week and
until your next video Thank You
very much.🤠👍
One of the school photos looked like it had a board at the front with a year - can anyone see what year it was?
Blurry but the coloured one looks like 1968.
You're right Paul, would've been a grand home in it's day. Still some cool things left to admire. Thank you. Stay safe. ❤
I would have LOVED to have seen this home when she was still loved.
Even though the setup seems a bit odd, all the rooms connect.
Curious on the dates of the school photos.
I really enjoy your content. You do a great job. And your also respectful. During your exploration. If the previous inhabitants of the house have passed on. 👍
If this video was an experiment it,s a good one!
It appears to be a home turned pub.
Thanks for the bonus Paul!
🤠👍
Can I ask what's on the chair at 20:40? I thought they were straps to hold a person down but when I pause and zoom, no.
That house would’ve been very luxurious for the time in the 1950s where most houses back then were the typical post war homes
I wanted to cry when I saw that beautiful pink and black bathroom. Thanks for sharing.
Sup from Kentucky😊
Hi galspaw 😁 cheers from Adelaide 👍
you are to sweet and kind! Love watch and wishing I was there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks for the bonus video, this place was beautiful and very creepy
This house is so creepy and the intro sent shivers up my spine! That said, I can see that the home was once beautiful and well loved. Too bad it is so decayed now and trashed. I loved those bottles! Even if they were destined to hold some home made brew. I love the early week surprise post! Thank you!
Ooooohh that intro is very "Rob Zombie". Thats a compliment btw 🙃
Cheers Kaylaryan :-) Compliment appreciated! :-) Thanks for watching
Drove past this place in a a taxi a couple of nights ago on the way to the airport, and it looked like it's gone. Only had one and a half hours sleep so I could of been hallucinating!
wonder how the beautiful fittings from these homes could be rescued. We are such a throw away society
Loved the intro to this one. Bit spooky in parts. Beautiful evening view out of the portal
Paul has that place been demolished since u filmed it as it would have been beautiful in it's day
Awesome new vidéo I love it 👍👍🏘🏘😺😺👋👋👋
Cool, a weekday video. Yes, this place would have looked so great before it was trashed, and squatters got hold of it. People can be such pigs, hey. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, MM :)
Glad you enjoyed it MM, yes I may do a shorts video with the real estate ;ics form 10 years ago. Very classy and well looked after :-)
@urbexindigo5164 loving it, always keen to view. Cheers, MM :)
Oooh Well that was spooky.
The amount of deka in that place is unbelievable
Why am I thinking this house was used as a brothel?
hardwear lights doors mantels ♥️♥️
How Long Ago Was This Filmed?
always their the mirore hung ther spaz cool
Man I give you credit Paul 🥺 my ❤️ would have been racing going in there. The feeling would have been the same as putting a million dollars on a race horse😆great find again very interesting 👍 ya must carry Pepper spray for protection.cant wait for the next installment 👍😃
I imagined this place back in the day. I'm betting it was an amazing place. I luv the pink and black bathroom and I don't even care for pink. Cheers Paul, another good find!! 💜☮️
The intro was appropriate that place is creepy
Wow that intro was pretty freaky
I'm sure it was a beautiful home back in the days. Such a shame to see the decay.Thanks for another awesome video.Greetings from Germany.
Thank u for sharing😊
Eerie house but I love the red leather bar.
Spooky and sad.
its fckn dark
Creepy House
Creepy House
railing wow
Where is this
Such a shame
WOW .. thank you for this. How amazing! Mysterious, haunting... with so many unanswered questions about it's history and 'demise'. I have to say I agree with all points that your other subscriber (vickisawyer) mentioned. Be careful as you walk through these wondrous places, we need your point of view and respect for the past. Thank you again.
Great video Paul thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it guys. And I am sure will both will soon :-)
A real spooky atmospheric "feel" to this one!
Glad you were brave enough to venture inside on dusk/darkness. There's no way in the world I would've gone in to explore.
What a beautiful old house. The stories those walls could tell! Speaking of walls, that red brocade wallpaper in the bar was the same as we had in our dining room in the 60's. Ours was gold (where the red was) and beige. Those class photos were the same as ours here in Canada. Cheers and thanks for sharing parts of Oz with us. 🇨🇦
Love this art deco explore! Thanks so much for sharing. I always enjoy your explores. I always feel like I learn something new.❤🎉
What a beauty this must have been.I like the wall papers and the Bar the most.Tha k you👍🇺🇸❤️
Old farm houses my very favourite. Knowing this may eventually got demolished is sad. Thank you Paul once again 🙌
Hello Paul, Thank you for sharing this art deco home with us. Sad that homes are treated badly, damaged, and left in these conditions. That's why it will be torn down.
I will never understand squatters. They seek refuge they find a place then when they get there they completely trash it.
Beautiful find! I love art deco.
what a shame, you can really tell this was a gorgeous house before it was let go to rot. I just can't wrap my head around how people can let a home go like that. Thank you for another great video!!
Can see it would have been a beautiful home, but now it gives such creepy vibes!
Not just from the trashing.
Great video, Paul. Im sure this Art Deco would have been a beautiful home in its time. Would have been a wealthy person to build such a big home like that in the 40s.
I only just got to finish it I had a visitor for the past 3 hours oh my god I could see the beauty in it was incredible😢😢😢😢
This home looks like it would have been beautiful back in it's day. With all the darkness and shadows around, there is certainly a spooky feel to it.
I appreciate the beautiful interior features. It is a shame when squatters bust up the place. Thanks for another great find.
