    I think its great that you go out and talk to the owner before entering the buildings. Not many people out there these days have that kind of respect. Love the video! Keep it up!

      you only can if the owner lives on site. most abandoned places are ABANDONED. so you can't talk to owners, hence, not many people do!

    • @liamhajek1770
      @liamhajek1770 8 лет назад +7

      I know that. But some of these houses sit on land owned by someone. Its not that hard to enquire about who owns that land and contact them if you can. But of course, thats not always possible :)

    It's encouraging to know that young people like you are interested in treasures like this house from our past. Farming was once a very lucrative business here in the US, and farmers were able to build grand residences like this one. There are many examples here in Virginia that are still in good shape and loved by their owners. They are remnants of a life once lived and a changing economy.

    I have the same light fixtures in my home as I seen there. My home was built in 1922 just South of Jefferson City Missouri. Of course the house could have been built before and wired around the 1920's.

    Great Place -- It is great to see a place that does not have spray paint all over the place. Wonderful old home that
    could be restored. These rooms are so large that you can insulate outside walls by building an additional wall on
    top of the old inside wall with proper insulation.

      Me too! I'd buy it in a heartbeat and pay someone to fix it all up except for the little stuff that I could do, like painting inside and small repair.
      I could really dig living there!

    I remember when they demolished this house. That’s to bad that someone didn’t remodel it. There have been some virginity’s taken in that old house during the 80’s 90’s and early 2000. Lots of stories. This was a high schooler hang out in Adrian Missouri.

    Some farmers buy properties just to expand thier farms. They don't care about any houses or buildings. They just want the land. He inherited this so when the time comes he will tare it down so he doesn't have to pay insurance and taxes on it. I would love to live there and make the yard and house beautiful again.

    @santababy1952 5 лет назад +1

    this house appears to be very solid so the the roof just be in good shape. It's usually water damage that does the house in when the floors get wet and the walls then the decay is accelerated. It is still a good looking house and though it would take a good bit of money the house could be so charming. I love the windows design. Those tanks in the basement was for the furnace. Back in the old days your furnace used oil to keep the heat on. I remember as a kid having one of those tanks in the back of the house outside of our tiny house. We were a family of 6 living in a two bedroom house with one bathroom! I shared a room with my two sisters, my brother lived in the "den" and then my parents of course had their own room but we all got along and had a very happy childhood with great memories having no idea that we were poor.

  • @katieword1806
    @katieword1806 8 лет назад +9

    Based on the general look and layout - especially the woodwork - I'd guess 1900s/1910s? My parents' home in Louisville, KY was built in the 1910s/1920s - the woodworking on the doors, door frames and window frames looks very similar to theirs.
    Love the videos, thanks for sharing all of these beautiful, forgotten locations!

    • @secretweapon3821
      @secretweapon3821 7 лет назад +3

      Katie Word it looks more like the 1920s. cause I have seen a lot of places built like this from the 1920s. including the house I'm currently staying in was built in the 1920s.

  • @sueannskerrattherron2079
    @sueannskerrattherron2079 7 лет назад +4

    Beautiful house. I think 1930 - 1940. It's funny how so many of you urban explorers have the nerves of steel it takes to walk through dark attics and basements alone and yet are afraid of spiders. I have no fear of spiders but I would be too chicken to explore like you do! Thanks for the great video.

  • @MaxZomboni
    @MaxZomboni 8 лет назад +18

    I'm going to say, late 1800s. It just looks really old to me. The multiple fireplaces, makes me think it was originally heated by the fireplaces. Then those very old stem radiators were added sometime later. It looks like the electrical and the plumbing were put in in the 1930s.or 40s. I don't see anything there that looks newer then 1950. The newspapers and magazines in the attic look like they were dumped there in the 1980s. But I think it was probably already abandoned by that time.
    As for the bathrooms having windows, that would be because the windows predate the bathrooms. More then likely a house like this originally had an outhouse. The bathrooms were added sometime after the house was built.

  • @jimwhite3458
    @jimwhite3458 7 лет назад +1

    I bought a similar house near Aylmer, Ontario, Canada in the 1990's. 'Craftsman' style architecture...probably built in the early 1900's judging from the wood trim (doors, windows, etc.) Plumbing & heating may be added in the 1940's - judging from the styles.
    White exterior very similar to my house at the time - mine was built 1915 (?) - and one or
    two owners when I purchased it. Verandahs are 10'6" wide, at least - wonderful for sitting
    out on at anytime.Mine did not have brick columns on porch, nor second floor balcony.
    Enjoyed the video very much - glad to see how it was done, with respect & caring. Jim White

  • @gentry11000

    that is a sturdy well built house! I bet it was built late 1800's. I would love to live in it! if they are just going to let it go why not sell all the woodwork,etc reclamation. or at least board up Windows,check roof etc. awesome video! not many houses like that left in iowa where I live.

  • @HauntedRamblings
    @HauntedRamblings 4 года назад +4

    What a beautiful old house.. Im judging by the fireplace and woodwork.. Late 1800s maybe 1900 possibly 1910?? Not much farther.. Oil tanks to feed the furnace... I wish i could find places like that to explore in my neck of the woods in missouri!

      lorisue2 you are correct. They are very docile wasp, they almost never sting. When I was younger I’d actually handle them with my bare hand and I never got stung. They call them mud dobber because they dob the mud together like a bird to make their nests.

  • @Jesses001
    @Jesses001 8 лет назад +7

    That was a REALLY nice house. It is a shame it was left for so long. I think you are right though. With a lot of money and time, that house could be restored. It is not all water damaged and messed up like some places. It would take so very much work though. Rather large house too. A good size family could live comfortably there.

    Ive always been around mud daubers, they're always getting into my house, I just lead them back out, I have never been stung.
    Mud daubers do not defend their nests. In fact, open pipe mud dauber stings are fairly rare. These insects are typically considered nuisance pests, and are actually beneficial as they help control spiders. Maybe that's why so many because of the amount of webs.
    Very cool explore. Thanks.

  • @janwarriner5037
    @janwarriner5037 6 лет назад +6

    The house appears to have been built around 1900. Back then they built things to last and it has. Wish we could've seen more..shed/barn and other features of the house. I like your editing format but no need to curse. You can believe "that old lady" did a lot of work on this property and the grounds/vegetable gardening, etc.the outside water pump prob had not been primed for a long time. It prob still produced water. Will check you out again .

  • @janramey9811
    @janramey9811 7 лет назад +6

    Well done. Loved your intro piece with the slow pans and music. My guess on the house's age would be early 1900's. Fantastic brick work on the fireplaces. Nice woodwork, great porches, and the attic would make a great master suite or Media room. Also liked the rear hall entrance. I've never seen one like that and it is interesting how it goes down to the basement. The tanks are for oil for the heating system. The original owner must have been a wealthy farmer. Did the owner mention why he wasn't living there and why he let it get so rundown? I live in the Arkansas Ozarks and if it were here I would love to buy and restore it!

    The tanks in the basement are for fuei oil. There is probably oil in them now. Don't know why but when people quit using coal they switched to oil. It burns really hot and puts off a lot of heat. But the furnace may have ran on oil but it also could of been used for steam heat. Combination of the two for one.

    A puzzle! Small lower parlor rooms side by side, but no sliding doors, no large central hall. Egg & dart detail on mantels (later?)I I guess before 1880, with later modification. Civil War era exterior. Perhaps jars in basement were preserves on shelves? Don't recall a kitchen, will review.Thanks for posting, great video. Hope no-one else knows this location!

  • @sooth15

    Those tanks in the basement are the heating system. That was when heating oil which is nothing more than off road diesel like what you would put in to a tractor was dirt cheap and a great heating source. It's still common in colder climates where the house is not near natural gas service.

    @andrewbrendan1579 8 лет назад +8

    I'm casting another vote that the house was built in the early 1900's. Too I think the bathrooms, at least the one upstairs, was not put in later but part of the original design. The building in back identified as a barn looks like it may have started out as a house. My guess is that the owner prospered, built a new house and re-purposed the old one. The big house is on a farm but is too grand to be a farmhouse; it could have been built in an upper-class neighborhood in town.

  • @813lem

    It was probably wishful thinking, but I thought I saw vinyl siding on part of it, that would certainly help if someone wants to restore this house. There were a lot of nice parts of the house but my favorite was the second floor balcony. Loved it!
    I think you were trying to figure out what the machine in the basement was (I forgot the number), if you were that's an old washing machine. Good video!

    Judging from the architectural features in the house, I don't think it's any older than early 20th century. It does look like the structure is still pretty solid, despite being exposed to the elements. Just curious - what was that ambient noise?

    Missouri is a great place to live if you are one who loves the peaceful countryside. Just stay away from places like K.C., St. Louis and Springfield. The rest is small towns and serene living.

    The front door looks like my old house had built in 1880 but electricity didn't come till late 1920s and in door bathrooms for most farm houses till after 1947

    Please fix it up and sell it! Too good of shape to be demolished. Looks like 1920's, My house is from 1920's and has same bathroom fixtures.
