Once Grand 200 year Old Abandoned Federal House Down South *Beautiful Woodwork & Antiques
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- This beautiful old federal house was built in the early 1800’s for one of the more prominent agrarian families in the county. Most likely the house was built between 1820-1830 but couldn’t find a ton of information. The family grew cotton and a variety of other crops. After the civil war the farm was a sharecropping farm for many decades until the early 1930’s. A few of the small old sharecroppers houses still dot the landscape and remain crumbling away nearby. From everything I could find out the house had been vacant since the late 1980’ to 1990’s. In recent years the mantles and some of the ornate woodwork along the porch has been taken. I filmed this house about 5 years ago if you’d like to see the old video I will put link below. Thanks for watching! Like and leave a comment if you enjoyed! Thank you!
This poor old girl. She was basically a conventional farm house back in the day. Looks like people came in long enough to toss stuff to the floor looking for something of value. So sad. Another great video Mr Kappy!!! Thanks for taking me along!
Yeah definitely seems like someone tossed all the things around looking for something! Thank you for the kind words and watching! :)
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 Appreciate you Mr Kappy!
That player piano caught my eye right away. Sad nobody took care of it. Wing & Son made top quality instruments.
We have a player piano just like that one and it still kinda works. You have to help it along once in a while.
It is a player and has a brass sound board...yikes
That Wing & Son player piano was a manual pump player piano: didn't need electricity to play! With a pair of human feet, no Carrington event could silence the music that played off her rolls! What a beauty! The basic two rooms over two rooms with an ell addition. She were a comfortable abode in her time. I agree, that woodwork was nice. She were quite a few steps above plain when they built her, and after two hundred years, she still stands a proud, sturdy structure. TY for the tour, Kappy. The symphony of frogs was a nice touch!
I wish we could build houses like this today. We like everything cheap and fast.
Thanks Kappy for showing that beautiful old house. I hope someone rescues it. It's worth restoring.
Definitely is worth saving! I’d bet the bones of the old portion are great! Thanks for watching!! :)
All that lovely old furniture left to rot. And if I had a dollar for every time Kappy found a piano. Join Kappy on his third visit to this house when it is stripped of its bannister and mantels. Thanks once again for a fun explore!
The old trees that you see on your drive up the drive way are gorgeous.
This was another great find Kappy !! I do enjoy watching your vedios and listening to the history of these great finds.... I think this house was really beautiful back in the day. I can imagine sitting on the front porch and listening to all the sound ds of nature while drinking a cold glass of tea or a hot cup of coffee as the sun sets or rises...
What beautiful furniture that.was left . And the staircase was perfect !!
The wood woodwork and the fireplace mantels were beautiful too !!
To bad the house itself couldn't talk and tell its stories...
Thanks for sharing this house again with us Kappy !!
See you on the your next exploration.
Take care and stay safe out there !!!
Thank you for doing these videos. Sparks a lot of imagination. You see the young ladies of old coming down the stairs for piano practice. Old furniture pieces. Evenings on the front porch. Just quieter times.
Very well said! Especially love when they have minimal updates and remodels! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
I always like the staircase railings in these old Federal style houses. They are a somewhat simple design yet still so elegant. Love your videos and your down-to-earth exploring style. 👍🏻
Agreed on the federal designs! Thank you very much for the kind words and watching!! :)
Some of these antiques could be saved and restored back to new condition. Shame to leave them behind when no one is coming back for them anyway. Thanks for taking us along with you.
Hi Kappy!! Thank you for the revisit to this amazingly beautiful place. Oh if those walls could talk. I can just imagine all the hustle and bustle and the kids running around. That amazing furniture! Oh wow! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!!!
Thank you very much for the kind words and watching!! :)
I love older homes! Thank you for sharing Kappy. That fireplace mantelpiece is probably in a lovey home restored and saved from destruction.🕊️
What a cool house. Reminds me of the house from the TV show The Waltons. Appreciate what you do Kappy!
I adore this! Thank you so much! The history and love!💕 thank you so so much Kappy
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Hopefully someone could restore this old house someday hate to see it get torn down.
That is a Player Piano. The furniture is from 1880 to 1890. The house isn't really not that bad. With the right renovation you make it a very nice and comfortable home to live in.
It’s a shame it’s being neglected. If I had to guess I’d date it to abt 1825. The furniture you commented upon at 6:26 looks like a lot of mass produced waterfall veneer that was often sold in mail order catalogs in the 1920s/30s. My favorite part of this is the elegant staircase. This was a fun explore and I enjoyed the insert photos of your prior visit. Thank you for taking us along!
I think that piano had rules she put in it and it was a player piano. It has foot pedals that you pumped and that’s how it played. Those usually were very good pianos.
My family had one in our house when I was young and it was a source of great entertainment. That was back when there was hardly any TV. We had a little round TV and hardly ever watched it.
A very nice place land amd all.👍❤️
Wow 😲 awesome 😎💯 explore kappy I'm glad there was no vandalism you never showed the front door or the ceilings
I believe the front door wasn’t original sorry about that! Thank you very much for watching! :)
Such a pretty place. Love that mantle you zoomed in on Kappy. I know it’s stealing to take anything from abandoned property.But who would you ask if you wanted to reuse something/buy something? I just hate seeing beautiful antiques, mantles etc sit there & waste away. But it definitely is stealing. Such a conundrum 🤦🏻♀️Thanks Kappy. Stay safe
In my mind I could see that space at the head of the stairs as being a great place for kids to play quietly or read. The only thing that would make it better would be a 2nd story balcony. :)
That was a upright grand player piano. I hate when people leave those old pianos to go to the ruins. Someone would have loved to have that piano.
What a beauty!
There is still beauty in the old girl! She has seen better day’s! Awesome video Kappy. ❤️👍🤘
Very true! Thank you so much for the kind words and watching! :)
4:41 So good to know the fireplace surround and mantle were used in a home which showed its beauty and wasn’t surrounded by decay.
Awesome! Love the staircase. I wish someone had saved the old furniture. It would have made a cool Bed & Breakfast if maintained.
This hous is wonderful❤.Thanks
I would love to sit on that porch and just enjoy nature. What a beautiful house ! Thank you Kappy
Well said! Me too! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
These beautiful old homes have so much "Charm" compared to the newer homes of today. I would say that the China Buffet in the dining room is around vintage 1920's 1930"s you are right on target with the years, great video very enjoyable! 😄
I wanted to see your ninja skills jumping up to the attic. LOL Good one mate!
For being 200 yrs old it still has some good bones and savable qualities. That sewing machine is from the late 50- early 60s. I seen an old can opener in the kitchen from the 70's not so sure about the furniture but thinking turn of the century. Have a great day and safe travels
Sunday morning, breakfast with Kappy and old - antique-vintage. 😅 Very nice! Thank youuuu 😊
Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Hey there's a ladder in that out building! Attic access 😉 but seriously there doesn't look in bad shape. Someone save this house!
I really love the simpler, more basic adornment of the Federal period. I guess I really like all styles, it's kind of like having many different sorts of people at a party. I'm going to check out your previous visit to this house later. Your videos are always great.
Hey Kappy, maybe I'm just seeing things, but it looks like you've got an alien face starring up at you from the floor, just below the window, @ 5:46!
The two old furniture pieces at 6:36 both have melon bulb legs. Tudor or Elizabethan revivals probably 1890's to 1930's. I'd speculate the earlier end of the range. Three old Pepsi bottles, "No Coke, Pepsi".
love the video, the sound of the leaves crushing under your feet, from yorkshire granny uk
My pre-Rev English ancestors used to live in New Bern, on the coast not too far from where he's at.
Thank you Kappy! You always see the beautiful details no matter how much decay surrounds it. A fine quality. Now I am inspired to do some more spring cleaning…because, apparently, maintenance is everything!😂
Yes; thank you for inspiring me. ☺️😅👍
Love this old farmhouse and I miss the frogs sound winter here in New York yet ty
Would be a decent home to restore...........
This old home is definitely in fine shape for it's age & should be restored. Love the wide floorboards! Some of that furniture looked to be mid 1800s! Again thanks for the tour & looking forward to the next one!😊
Sad to see these old houses languishing for lack of love. So many people with money just don't care.
Love the little trunk room upstairs with bedroom areas. ❤
Another grand old lady, so sad people just left it. This lady could tell stories about days gone by. Thank you for showing us these amazing finds of our history of homes of days long ago.
That wizard sewing machine is being sold online from anywhere of 100 to 200 bucks. they were made for only a couple years by western auto. From what i read they are excellent machines and run very quiet. solid metal too.
Its a shame that people do not see the value in the items left behind. i love antiques and would love the old vanity upstairs in that house. Only thing is is i do not see the mirror. Not sure if it was on the floor behind it. I miss going to abandoned properties and nosing around like you do. I probably would have brought the pepsi bottles home with me. I love pepsi stuff and its harder to find than coke stuff.
really enjoyed that I loved the history in all your videos thx
Love the old style screen door😊
Ham radio guys would like the tower
Good one Kappy 👍
Thank you for watching! :)
There are still a few of this style around my area. People tend to live in the additions and close off the old fronts. Not sure why. Lack of or poor electrical maybe. The Kerosun box brought back memories. Everyone had those back in the day. We sure did. Got cold in winter in old homes. Loved the sound of the frogs. My dad called them peepers. Thanks for sharing. ❤
Too funny! My mom’s always called them spring peepers since I was a kid! Thank you very much for watching and the kind words!! :)
If people knew the whole history of this house it would be revered as a local treasure. Our country was only a couple of generations in and this building was witness to that and everything since. There are countless stories in those walls.
What a quaint yet stunning staircase ❤ she appears to have good bones thanks for another wonderful video
Wow! And still standing. How about the wagon wheel chandelier in the foyer? I wonder too how old the furniture was downstairs. I don't see how you resist not taking things... I know that's stealing!!!, but still. That sewing machine would just have to come home with me🤣🤣🥰
Yes please add the older link as well. I want to see the differences.
Nice house, but no bathroom upstairs. Good size rooms.
Nice touch with the before and after 😊
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you for watching!! :)
I absolutely love what you do, but please measure out at least one room so we know how large that space really is. You do an excellent job of getting everything, I can't wait to see more of your videos, thanks in advance 0:00
3:54 THE FLOORING! Show the flooring regardless if it is carpet/rug, wood, and especially in the closets where flooring changes are not likely to change.
thank you for the video
Thank you for watching!! :)
wow awesome again LOVED THE OLD FURNITURE AND NICK NACKS TO i plan on going to yellow dog this summer
Sup from Kentucky
beautiful house pretty furniture in it😊
It's still beautiful.
Good morning Kappy! Thanx 4 another great vid. Interesting wagon wheel light fixture on the ceiling by the front door! What a great house. Stay safe out there.
Hey Kappy. I love how the bottom of all the windows are molded out with a panel-so pretty. Cool explore as always! Thanks & have a happy weekend!
The place a mess but you can see the beauty. I would love to see the makeover. 😊
Could be beautiful again. I would want central heating & cooling, modern plumbing & electric, & other modern conveniences. I would remove as many walls as could so the kitchen, living, & dining room could all be open to each other. Basically I like open floor plan.
Beautiful house...u find the good ones kappy.
Great house. I hate that people take things
5:04 I want to see what is under that decayed carpet, or an area where it isn’t decayed, and shows the carpet’s original beauty.
I want that goose on the mantle. It goes with my gosh cookie jars.
What a waste of such amazing craftsmanship. How could someone just trash a house like this? Smh
Have you done videos of the houses you show at the end of each episode? I am very impressed with your work, keep on keeping on! Thank you, Kappy.
All upcoming videos! Will be out in next few weeks! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
I see you came to my state
Good evening, Kappy! Things are going better for me and I'm learning how to live by myself again. Thanks for all the good thoughts and kind words.
This is a pretty house, though many of its details have been removed, its beauty lingers. It's sad to think of the people quite likely enslaved in and by the people who lived here. Sadly, sharecropping was little more than legalized slavery. Thank the good LORD that that system no longer exists in our country.
That IS beautiful millwork on the trim of this place. It's sad to think of someone coming in to harvest the lovely details of this lovely old lady. I can only hope that the person who ravaged her was her owner and not a stranger.
I think you're spot on with your dates for that furniture, Kappy! You've come a long way, my friend, and become more knowledgeable than you know! I'm very proud of you!
Spring peepers! Those tiny little frogs are little larger than your thumbnail, but in numbers, they can be heard for miles!
Spring is coming to East Tennessee, though we will have our Easter cold snap tonight, on the very eve of Resurrection Day itself!
I've never heard of a Wizard sewing machine. Oh, the mantles are so lovely!
Those spindles on the stair rails are so delicate! They give you a glimpse into the thoughts of the original owners.
Well, you saved the worst for last on this one. Sheesh, somebody was looking for valuables and were not in the least careful. I'm trying to imagine this gentle belle of a house as she once was. She's survived the ravages of war and the incessant march of time. It's sad that she's been forgotten and will probably return to the rich Carolina earth from which she rose. How sad!
She reminds me of the Family Home in the Walton's, somehow. I only hope her memories are joyful and sweet.
Thanks for a great explore, my friend! It was a pleasure, as always. Much love from chilly Tennessee, B
B.,
I very much enjoyed reading your prose.
You should consider writing/typing a memoir of your life experiences.👍
I, too, have been on my own since my 59-yr.-old fiancé, of 16 yrs. (both of us too afraid to marry) passed from Covid, in 2021.
I agree with you about the delightful details Kappy captured, however my greatest pleasure is when he gets close-ups of fine doorknobs, and other metalwork.
The happy birds, and frogs, and rain are supremely gratifying.

Thank you so much for your kind words! Kappy and I go back a long ways...he said once that he thinks I should go with him on explores. I am a historical nut when it comes to houses, especially those from this antebellum period.
I am, as a matter of fact, a retired technical writer for a federal contractor, spending my career writing technical manuals for various branches.
I'm sorry to hear about your fiance'. I lost my husband to dementia a little over four weeks ago. Kappy has been on of my biggest supporters in that unwinnable fight, God love him! I have cheered him and taken joy in watching him mature and learn. He's come a long way in a short time and is truly a budding authority.
I am glad to hear from you and welcome further messages, if you wish. I love to hear from other Kappy fans!
By the way, as I've lost track of the passage of days, I believed a sign saying this was Easter. Learned, on this bright and glorious spring morning, that it's NEXT WEEK! 🤭🥴
@@ittybittykittymama7582 I’m glad things are going better! As always I appreciate your fantastic observations and insightful comments! Could definitely use your knowledge with me on my explores!😅 thank you very much for the kind words always and watching!! :)
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773
Maybe when you get down here in God's country, I'll join you! 😊. There's a group of brave explorers hereabouts who post photos on our neighborhood app every week. Some of their 'finds' are just crying out to be filmed! Come on down! 😅
So sorry to hear about the Key Bridge disaster in your home state. Praying for the families of the missing and lost. The missing men are all Latino immigrants and many of them cannot even float, much less swim! Such a tragedy. Love to you, as always, my dear friend.
@@WhenImBackInChicagoI'm a lover of old farmhouse sinks, so Kappy indulges me once in a while. I like the old doorknobs, especially the white ceramic ones. They remind me of my granny's house. One day I'll tell you the tale of how her house was moved out of the way of a proposed road by mule team!
Have great weekend! Becca ❤
Sad people trash it! Must have a maintained roof to still be standing! Beautiful
Love when you go back and visit these places, I always see something new and it's like visiting a friend. The old nails above the mantlepiece, probably for hanging Christmas stockings, are so sweet. Beautiful windows, staircase, mantlepieces and woodwork. I love Federal & Colonial style homes, they're so elegant and just ooze history. And they're full of the energy of generations of happy homeowners. I wonder if the beautiful bride in the photo by the sewing machine sewed her own dress with that machine. Thanks as always for your videos, they help me recenter after a long work week. Take care out there!
My mom had a sewing machine just like the one, except it was gray.
So much trash..that house was very beautiful ,it's sad
Beautiful houses thanx for bringing that to us
That player piano is worth 1000s depending on the condition and if it can be restored. Looks like someone took the kitchen sink, too.
Thank you for your explorations!
Wow how interesting!! Shocked it’s left! Thanks for sharing the info and watching!! :)
I hear those peepers! Thanks for the ride along! 😊
The abandoned ones are really interesting. I also explore them here in the Philippines, sir
Great video! Looks like the house is worth restoring. Good bones.
Such a great place,! I thought I saw this the first time you went here so I did a double check and indeed I did see it. Kinda gives you an idea as to how long I've been following your channel. It's a great old place and just as good the second time around. I don't know how you find these great old places but I just love that you do. Another great adventure Kappy. Thanks for the adventures and as always I look forward to the next. 🤠👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I appreciate how long you’ve been watching!! Thanks for sticking around and exploring with me all these years!! Really means a lot to me! I’m glad you enjoy!! Thank you very much!! :)
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 You can bet that I'll be watching all your videos and I truly appreciate your adventures. 🤠👍
That upright
piano is antique
it’s to bad kids
destroyed it.
mid 1920s department store furniture , looked ok in its day but not well made , cheap walnut veneer and stained Base wood . Many families at this time bought this type of furniture , and gave the sharecroppers the old fashioned , now antique and valuable
Thanks for showing this house. Great find. The furniture in the dining room is really cool. If you take off the veneers it might still be salvageable. Ugly paneling on the walls. Hard to imagine there was a time when real wood planks covered walls of homes.
I like this house a whole lot. Although that bathroom situation presents a problem. I dont know ow about the furniture left behind but Iiked that too. Must have been a really nice place to live. Thanks, Kappy
Very nice, Kappy-love Federal style houses. The house and big trees out front sort of reminded me of Rosedown Plantation in Louisiana. Thanks, and see you next week!
Nice
Love your videos. I just hate seeing these great old places packed with junk, whoever moved out last could have at least gone through stuff and donated or thrown it out. Hate graffiti too.
4:37 That other picture looks like mantle was a piece of tree round. Maybe even a half and why they took it unfortunately.
L❤ve the house this house could make a nice vacation to get away from anything thats been going in this country great video kappy happy Easter.
5:36 the original internet.
Wow!!!!
That panelling on the first floor looked 60ish to me.
Another great video kappy. Keep up the great work 👍
I'm surprised the antenna tower is still standing,
9:37 “Holy Cow”. Jeez Louise!
Drinking game
