      Me too. It breaks my heart.
      This one in, particular, was/is still SO beautiful. I wish someone would've renovated it, years ago.
      I can't imagine why the owner would just abandon it like that. (never even came back to secure it) I mean, if they didn't want it, why not sell it to someone who will care for it? (while it still had value too) I dont get it! And dont get me started on the idiots that vandalized it. POS!!

    This is one of those places that breaks my heart to see neglected. Someone built this place with love you can see it in the details. I like the different patterns in the brickwork it's unique. The gingerbread and the interior woodwork suggests this was someone with money back when it was built. Sadly most of the woodwork has been painted but could be restored. someone please save this place before it's gone.

      I agree. I wouldn't call this a farm house. It's more of an estate house. There's money behind it. I'm sure it's quite sad sitting there waiting to be occupied again, but it looks to me like it will probably be torn down because of all the structural damage. Deep cracks between the bricks indicate severe foundation damage, and as the presenter says, the floor joists are badly rotted. It would certainly be worthwhile to save the woodwork, brickwork and even some of the very old, thick, old-growth tree harvested floorboards for reuse.

      I did one and when all I really saved when I was done was the frame. Inside and out and foundation was all new . The only thing is that I did over ten years and lived there also . I didn't mortgage the property to do the work,did from pat cheque to pat cheque

    The wainscoting is classically installed- meaning it is right at the bottom sill of the window. This is how it is SUPPOSED to be done. Today's builders etc have NO IDEA and just run it at 36 inches. There are good articles about its history- and goes back to perfect proportions/Fibonacci sequence, and classical Greek/Roman building. My 1870's era Victorian farmhouse is of a similar design.

    The older part of that house exudes charm, character and craftsmanship. You don't see that anymore except in a few old cities like Charleston, SC or New Orleans. And I love the exterior, reminds me of something you'd see in a story book. I bet that house was absolutely stunning in it's hey day, even with all the floral wall paper. I love the front door and the turquoise painted double doors and high ceilings. You don't see houses like this much anymore. I wish they had kept the original character with the cheap looking add ons, which takes away from the house, unfortunately. Somebody with some $$$$ needs to restore that one.

    the strings in the one bedroom are for drying laundry. One of those quick things most people hang over the bath tub. If you noticed it hung right at the window, and over a rad, which obviously was no longer working after that new furnace went in. They're usually hooked up to a big old hot water boiler type furnace. It was not unusual to put more wallpaper over wallpaper. Most was actual paper, not the vinyl stuff like we have now. We peeled 11 layers off the kitchen walls in one house! The staircase definitely says whoever built it was very well off! Looked like it might have been a dairy farm at one time, and those meds in the cupboard almost confirm that. The one with the yellow on the label looked like an injectible multivitamin I've used a lot over the years, and the one of the others looked like Oxy-Tetracyclin. Broad spectrum antibiotic. Probably what the 3rd bottle was too.

    some amazing trim and the home is still easily restorable. Your comment that it would take a fortune to heat is not accurate. Notice that nearly all of the wooden windows also have wooden storms. With a little TLC you can make original windows + storms as good as new double glazed windows - and they look so much better and will last much longer. I know this since I live in a similar Ontario farm house with all original windows and storms. They needed some restoration work, but are now ready for decades of new life.
    At the top of the landing where you mention that you thought there was once a window - was once a door with a small balcony above the first floor doorway.
    This is quite a beautiful house and it could be a great home. Yes, it would be a project, but one well worth it given the exceptional exterior trim, original interior wood work and generous spaces.

    Gee-how much would it cost to move it to VA, I wonder? Haha...buy that lottery ticket!
    Actually glad there wasn’t furniture left. Unless it was Victorian, would have been entirely out of place.

      Kathy Semrau I don’t like wallpaper; I think it’s because my mom had me do so much of it in late 60s early 70s and it looked like what’s in here!!! Haha! Usually I just painted over the wallpaper. It was an old house so it just gave it a more “rustic” feel. Anyway...my daughters room had wallpaper that I thought was original. Nono. We started stripping off what was already in strips and underneath was the real original paper. Beautiful! Dark purple background with little tiny flowers of yellow and blue with green leaves. Even had touches of glittery gold. It was so brilliant it must have had arsenic in it! But really beautiful.

    The "string" is an indoor clothesline for when it's too cold to hang them outside (or when it's raining). People often would put wallpaper over wallpaper. I guess it was easier than having to scrape it all off, and definitely quicker. I remember scraping my mother's dining room years ago. There were 3 layers I scraped off then came a layer of paint over more wallpaper. That was quite the job. Then I had to put up new paper because the walls weren't good enough to paint. The house had been built in 1935.

      Jennifer Jacobs . The remaining chair is for a short woman to stand in to remove upper cabinets contents, and to take breaks while a load of stuff is taken out. It’s a big house. It will cost money to repair but it will be worth much more refinished. Cute with big spaces.
