So sad-- this home should have been on the national registry of historic homes. Vandals suck big time. Thanks for documenting this old beauty before all trace of it was gone.
I really wanted to thank you on your discretion on all your video's that may have obscene graffiti...it is much appreciated ! I really like all your video's and look forward to more of them in the future !
Just gorgeous though - so sad that it's gone - that room with all the shelves in it - a lovely library with a fireplace! - but as you said, the grounds - just breathtaking and so expansive - you're right - it will all be cardboard cutout copy subdivision houses after this or some boxstores. what a sad end to a beautiful historic house and all the trees and loveliness it once had.
The property is so beautiful❤️ Great first Fireplace I saw. Awesome ceiling light in bathroom off of kitchen. WOW on the Storage Spaces Everywhere! Any idea when this was built? The more large trees the Developer would keep would mean more money for each house they put in there. BUT I doubt they will take the time to make plans to maneuver around them for a housing development. Thank you for showing us this Beauty before it’s Gone.
Been binge-watching your videos lately. Hope to see more sometime in the future. Love your narration and watching history in each of your videos. EDIT: I also have to mention how much I appreciate your respect for the places you present. Very admirable. Thanks for sharing these.
I can never understand the mentality of a vandal. SMH. Lovely old home ought to have been preserved. At least, no "development" ought to exist there. We humans destroy and waste so much. Anyway, thanks for showing us this once lovely home.
Thank you for keeping the profanity out of this video. Such a shame that vandals think we all need to see that garbage! I appreciate you for placing decency at the forefront☺
Tiki I'm so happy to see your videos again. Your filming and documentation are best and your narration is always so interesting, So sad to see another historical home being so horrifically vandalized and now demolished. There's no interest in preserving these beautiful homes of the past, and one day, I imagine people will look back and wonder, "Why?"
I read about this several months ago in our local paper. I sent the article to Abandoned SC as I follow him as well. My heart aches when I see the destruction of history like this. The virtual crap they build these days will never last as long as this beauty. The craftsmanship has been lost and that garbage chipboard is in. Don't you just wish you could catch these vandals in action? BTW nice to see a photo of you! :-)
Just wanted to say, my hubs and I, we love your explores! Nice to see a face with the voice. Are you planning to keep exploring? You do an awesome job. Thank you for sharing with us all.
Hello from a neighbor to the South in Western New York. Beautifol building! Thank you for being respectful with the profanity. Vandals seem to have no respect for the beauty of this place. The shelving was amazing! I could see it holding tons of books. That was an old water pump in the basement. Probably used befors any municipal water systems. Thank you for sharing a part of your day with us!
P.S. It appears the last owner was too old to live alone, for whatever reason. Be aware, this happens to too many people who have not left a legal will. Someone did a great job of cleaning out the meaningful items of the last owner. BEAWARE! If you own any property, get a will! Even if your in your in your early 20's. Get your will. Forgive my typo's. Stay safe, everyone!
When I moved to my neighborhood 36 years ago on LI,NY there where lots of small homes with large property,they have since torn them down and built MC MANSIONS close together,the owners go in their garages and you never see them again only when they leave in the morning , we used to have a neighborhood where the kids played together and people at least talked to each other now nothing,VERY SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!
welcome back tiki sure did missed u :) thank you for leaving out bad graffiti on walls /stuff. I'm a mom to some times my daughter looks at videos like this..SPECIAL WHEN I WATCH . keep up good work tiki I'll be waiting.....Susan
I believe the little kitchen like room next to large kitchen was usually called a "butler's kitchen" in these older houses. That house was a beauty!! Such a shame vandals feel it is appropriate to damage property whether it be vacant, abandoned or still lived in.
Great video! Love your work. No bad language, no featuring graffiti, just the right amount of info from you, TikiTrex. Do love your work!!! But oh, soooo sad that vandals make such a disaster of these beautiful homes!!! Makes me sick! Keep up the good work!
Even as the house was, it was still so beautiful. I bet in its day it was loved and well taken care of. It is a sad reality though of these Beautiful homes that could be fixed up being replaced by cookie cutter houses, condominiums, and malls. All for the sake of profit. Thank you for doing this home.
It's always so sad to see these beautiful old houses destroyed. I really appreciate your respect and admiration for the architecture and history. Thank you for documenting and sharing this manor with us.
Thank you so much Pam. What a nice long weekend treat!!! Gosh I would have loved to see that home in it's prime. I wonder if all of those built in shelves were full of books at one time. Such a shame Heritage Designation couldn't protect it. The grounds were just lovely and those trees oh my!!! I love your classy voice and dignified narration. You are simply the best at doing what you do! Thank you again!
It is such a beautiful home and the property is gorgeous, the birds are just singing and the pond is so peaceful. I love the patio. The good outweighs the bad in watching these kind of videos but it just breaks my heart to see that gorgeous staircase torn apart, do they not have any beauty in their hearts? Wow! I love all of the shelves and that rounded couch, I could probably fill all of those shelves up! with books and other things. I was not disappointed to see shelves in the basement.:> Thanks for sharing, this was a little rough with all of the nasty stuff but you handled it well.
Thank you for posting ,in my view, it's debatable who are the bigger vandals, those who made that damage that you showed in your video, or the grubby developers who demolished it, and cut down the trees
Hi, Pam! That is a humongous house! I absolutely love it when a driveway or drive through is lined with trees, especially when it's older trees. Thank you so much for showing such a unique and luxurious find! I hope you have a wonderful week! - Alex.
Thank You Pam for another amazing find. I love that house; so beautiful, the landscape is so great. I love the bay windows. The back patio would be perfect, I could live there looking over the landscape, reading books on the patio; then when the mosquitoes started biting I could go to the screened in porch upstairs... that would be a beautiful view from there. The best one I think, this is my favorite but then every time you video at a property, I think it's my favorite lol but then this one I think is really my favorite. They're all my favorite but I really like this one. Thank you so much for taking time to do this for us who can't because we're scared of mold and people that might be hanging out in there somewhere lol
+Robyn L (Missy) Thanks, Robyn! I think they're all my favourite as well, lol. Each of them have their own unique charm about them, it's hard to really pick one. :)
Thank you for posting the link to the newstory about the history of the house, it was nice to see the photos of the house in its glory. I think the owners when they sold it 'presumed' the next owner would respect the place like they did, so sad the the didnt have it registered to protect it before they sold it. That was a grand house, and it perfect shaped in 2009. (The house of shelves, is my favorite now :) )
Pam this is one of my favorite finds so far. I love all the books shelves and storage that house has. I'm sure it was a grand house when people lived in it. I wish they would let habitat for humanity go in and save some of the old wood work, windows and anything that could be used again. Thank you for taking your time and money doing these videos I look forward to each one you do.
+Ken Williamson Thanks for the kind words, Ken. I know they use salvaging crews at other places I have explored, so I hope they did the same here as well. And it's always a pleasure. I'm glad you do enjoy them. :)
House was well built and extremely insulated since you cannot hear the road noises inside the house. Great bones - house was built to last what a shame.
I will never understand what causing destruction does for a vandal. If they were to have their personal items vandalized the way that they destroy others things maybe they'd think twice about coming into someone's home or even these abandoned homes and just ripping them to shreds. Thanks again for the video, I had actually not seen this video when I found your channel. So I had watched almost all of your other videos and refreshed the page and here it is. I'm actually in the middle of watching, but I got so furious that I just had to come and put some words down before the escaped my train of thought. This was such an amazing home. Everything about the architecture of the place I loved. Such a shame for whatever reason it was abandoned and got into this shape. It makes me so very sad. Love your video, thanks so much for showing us these lovely structures.
Thank you for several things... for documenting this house (I know where it stood) for the censoring the graffiti (my kids watch these too) and for your gentle reverence in exploring these places. I've seen photos of when the last couple lived there and it's heartbreaking to think of how much would have gone on there and now it's just gone cookie cutter houses and sidewalks... new trees and plastic now
You are the perfect candidate for these expeditions. Great places, great video work, nice voice, and good content of video and narration. I would probably be tripping over shit and falling down stairs, lol. Anyway good work!
Shelves!! Coming from a family with several professors and being book lovers we have always put shelves into every room in our homes. But this one was super duper: they were built in which I love. Thanks for sharing!
Very sad to see the loss of the beautiful architectural design of these old homes. It was a great video.....thought I couldn't wait for you to upload a new one! :)
You couldn't have said it better Tiki, "all in the name of money". Thank you for sharing this beautiful home with us, so sad to hear that it's been torn down...Shame.
You did a great job at giving us the feel of the house once was. Barely noticed the graffiti the way that was presented. And there was hints to as how bad it may have really been. Great Explore!
+PrairieDodgers Thank you! Yes, it was the worst I have seen. I've come across a lot of graffiti with just profane talk which is commonplace in these places, but here, It was mainly nasty pornographic sprayed images. I have families who sit down to watch my videos with their children, so I had to keep that audience in mind.
I like the way you said, 'box after box', because houses now have no heart. they are just places for people to be. There was a time when a house was a big part of a family, and it told it's story. Even when no one lived there, you can/could feel history. Stories untold. I've watched all your vids over the last couple of years, well done.
What a beautiful treasure! Makes me so sad to see these elegant structures destroyed. Thank you so much for sharing. It makes me happy when you post a new video! You are the best!
Another great video, thank you. Live the link to the article too, as it shows some pictures of how it used to be, with many books! I did my first exploration of a old abandoned swimming pool, situated on a holiday camp in the UK, I was in their taking photos and I was discovered by two employees of the holiday site and escorted out and security was called. I explained i just wanted to take photos and they found it quite amusing, but I felt awful for the rest of my holiday and very guilty (another employee let me in as told him I was interested and I was so worried he would get told off, even though I told them I found my own way in, I was worried they would check the security tapes and see him let me in) so ever since I'm back to just exploring with you as it's safer and I don't get the horrible guilty feeling I still get when thinking about my summer holiday! So a big thank you, for allowing me do explore safely from my iPad! X
Wow what a beautiful place that once was! It had such great character and styling, very cool house! Too bad it has to be demolished. Great video, Thanks
Thank you so much for your consideration to the people who watch with their grandchildren. I love to watch them with my 6 or old granddaughter. She loves to go exploring with Nana..we call it treasure hunting😁
Such a shame. What a gorgeous house and lovely property. My first thoughts at the start when you were outside was that I felt sorry for the old trees, because developers seem to love taking those down. So sad.
Shame the tress couldn't be protected either. It drives me nuts when people chop down trees willy nilly. My neighbours moved in then quickly chopped down two lovely old trees which gave privacy and noise reduction, I could throttle them :-I
Thank You! Sorry to hear its been demolished the reason they knocked it down it had espestce growing in the walls some people sued over the circumstance.
I am from London, Ontario and would see this beautiful house between the trees while driving down the Fanshawe rd. The history and beauty of the land was amazing. It was disappointing to drive past one day to only see the house was completely gone... I thought maybe someday I'd tour the property as you did. I was hoping to one day see the home being restored, and wondering why the house had been neglected, although the time I was too young to know it had been purchased by developers. A few years ago I watched this video and searched deeper online as to why the house had been taken down, but the property still remains the same after all this time, the trees actually are protected! Such a shame it was too late to save the incredible house, now the property just sits. Love this house, Thank you for sharing!
Tiki, I love your videos. I love exploring abandoned places myself, just rarely ever have the time to do it, so I'll make do with yours for my fix! and as far as you censoring certain images, I don't blame you one bit.
It's such a shame this beautiful house, in its beautiful surroundings, has to be torn down!!! Thank you Tiki for documenting your finds. Much love from the UK :)
Hey Tiki. If I am not mistaken, that rusty tank with the "wheel" was an old water tank & the wheel was part of a pump. Well water was pumped into the tank. Looks like that house was once amazing. Great video. Thanks Tiki.
great job as always Pam, looks to me like the place may have been a library, or some thing similar, was waiting for a new vid from you, what a pleasant surprise this morning to find a new one
Beautiful house and amazing video as usual. Thank you for sharing :) Vandals are a major problem here in Australia too. Its almost Impossible to avoid. Reminds me of the Abandoned School i explored earlier this year.
This is one of the saddest ones I've seen in terms of how well appointed and up to date the house was. Such a gorgeous manor that's in good shape structurally speaking, it's such a shame it got demolished :(
Thanks so much for answering, & so quickly!! I will check it out, for sure!! Just love your videos & always turn them on to everyone! Take care & be safe! God speed
An absolutely beautiful home this was!! I sure wish someone could've saved it! I get so flipping sick of developers demolishing the most beautiful, well-constructed homes in order to replace then with crap that barely stands up for a few years (in comparison to the 200+ y/o homes I mean). Thank you for taking us along on the tour and can't wait for the next one!!! :-)
Wow what an amazing family home that once was. so sad to see beautiful house,s like that being demolished for the sake of money, great out door space and patio area, you can just imagine the kids running and playing outside, so sad. thanks for another great find. keep up the amazing finds .Big hi from cold Scotland.
Beautifully filmed as usual - thank you. Your bravery - especially when you filmed the basement is enviable! So sad to see the demolition of another century home - along with such beautiful fir trees. Based on a similar home belonging to distant relatives up north, I'd guess it was built about 1850 . That house still survives (for the time being). Like you, I can't understand what drives vandals to destroy a home, and glad you censored the graffiti - video is much better without it. Wasn't it surprising not to see home-made preserves in the basement? First time Ever!
+Meg Simpson Hi Meg! Thanks so much for the nice comment. I thought the same thing when I saw those empty shelves in the basement. Usually something is always left behind on those even when the main parts of the house are emptied out.
And poof! The house, landscaping, land, history are gone as if they never existed. Such a shame. But an excellent explore as always, Pam. Thank you for documenting this lovely old place.
I felt some anticipation when you made the statement that you'd "missed something"...and you were right. I was waiting to get a look at that upstairs screened in porch. It didn't look like there was a door anywhere in the rooms you looked at (well, that one entire room was blocked out due to the porn graffiti) but I sure had my heart set on seeing that upstairs porch. Out here, in California, there are a lot of screened in porches (Florida rooms, etc) but they are mostly on the ground floor. Its rare to see an upstairs "sleeping porch" and was so looking forward to it. Well, I'm sure there's a lot on your mind when you're in an abandoned place, like who or what might jump out at you, if an angry owner or cops will show up, etc. so it's not that big of a deal. It's more heartbreaking to see a glorious home like this being trashed and ultimately demolished. I don't understand what is wrong with people, so casually eliminating history only to replace it with literal garbage structures that no one is even going to care about when they are torn down in 20 years. So very sad. I don't see why the property owners didn't just restore the house, get it on the national registry then rent it for an ungodly amount of money like they do some houses here...then downsize the lot by selling parcels while saving the original home. It may be about money, but some people let greed make them utterly stupid...apparently. This house didn't have to go and if someone had played it smart, it wouldn't have been demolished. Dumb, greedy jerks!
Pam, you could parlay this into a 'National Geographic' channel series! MORE (pretty please)! Regarding the post before me, I much prefer abandoned houses than hospitals or industry, only because there is a lot more mystique and wonder regarding the families that lived in their sacred homes once upon a time. What was life like for them? Were they happy, or experience tragedy or illness? So many thoughts and questions to ponder as you go through these homes...
+AudiophileTubes LOL! And more you shall receive.:) I agree with you about the houses. I started my last channel with mostly industrial. I was noticing more interest in the houses from my viewers for the very reason you prefer them, so I started concentrating more on the houses while sliding the odd industrial/facility in there to accommodate the ones that prefer those. Thanks for your comment.
Such beautiful, mysterious spaces, destined for demolition... so many of the places I've explored no longer exist, having been torn down or collapsed on their own. Keep documenting them - they won't be here forever.
Love the video. All yours videos I love. Why haven't you been on to share anything in well about over a year or so now. Your the reason I got into watching exploring vids. Very first one I watched was your Nevada ghost town. Come back do more, please? Appreciative viewer danielle =}.
Wow, Thanks for the adventure Pam. I bet that was a beauty back in its day. what a shame the vandals got a hold of it, city vandals are the worst. And wow, whats up with all the shelves....LOL. So glad you were able to film it before demolition!
An excellent video! Thank you for leaving out the profanities you found. At the age of. 66, I've learned all the words. It's a shame all the vandals did not show such interest in biology class. In my high school bio class we had the same idiotic action by our weekend boozers and such! You kept the viewers interest in shelves beyond compare! Thanks for your work. Please be careful in those vacant homes. They're dangerous!
. . Almost looks like they cut a hole into floor of a old tiled bathroom for a stairway into the basement ? . . Towel rack and mirror are still on wall .Maybe at one time only had a outside entrance into basement.
+Kat ヅ That's an excellent theory; it makes a lot of sense. It really was odd to have a mirror up so high and on a stairway at all. The towel rack makes your theory even sensible.
As ALWAYS, you've done an amazing job of covering this this place. Initially, I look forward to hearing that beautiful voice of yours. If your voice is comparable to your appearance, you must be one beautiful woman. I've seen most (if not all) of your videos but I must say. I find this one tops them all! The architectural planning to construct a `maze' like this did indeed take quite a bit of fore thought. I truly enjoy your videos as an urban explorer above all others for the simple fact that you take your time, explaining everything very distinctly as you go along while at the same time, pointing out specific features. Keep up your terrific work. I'll be looking forward to your next `release'. God Bless & take care!!
So sad-- this home should have been on the national registry of historic homes. Vandals suck big time. Thanks for documenting this old beauty before all trace of it was gone.
I really wanted to thank you on your discretion on all your video's that may have obscene graffiti...it is much appreciated ! I really like all your video's and look forward to more of them in the future !
+Michelle Hoffman Your nice comment is much appreciated. Thank you!

+goldmourn so many in built shelves / bookcases - a book lover's dream!
So sad that they are tearing down such a gorgeous house and land. Thanks for another great tour! These videos are so relaxing
+Rebecca My pleasure, Rebecca. Thanks for stopping by.
The property is so beautiful❤️ Great first Fireplace I saw. Awesome ceiling light in bathroom off of kitchen. WOW on the Storage Spaces Everywhere! Any idea when this was built? The more large trees the Developer would keep would mean more money for each house they put in there.

How sad… Thanks for once again taking us with you on on one of your adventures! You're awesome!
That house looked much bigger than what you showed of it.I think you missed the secret rooms behind the bookshelves.
Hello from a neighbor to the South in Western New York. Beautifol building! Thank you for being respectful with the profanity. Vandals seem to have no respect for the beauty of this place.

I really enjoyed being able to see inside this place. Thanks for getting it filmed before it is gone.

That kitchen was insanely big for the rest of the size of the house and rooms! Thank you so much for sharing.
welcome back tiki sure did missed u :) thank you for leaving out bad graffiti on walls /stuff. I'm a mom to some times my daughter looks at videos like this..SPECIAL WHEN I WATCH . keep up good work tiki I'll be waiting.....Susan
+Susan G A. Thank you for the sweet comment, Susan! I appreciate your appreciation, lol! :)
Love all the book shelves. How cozy it must have been, with the fireplace and all. And thanks for sparing us the profanity.
I believe the little kitchen like room next to large kitchen was usually called a "butler's kitchen" in these older houses. That house was a beauty!!
Such a shame vandals feel it is appropriate to damage property whether it be vacant, abandoned or still lived in.
Great find! Loved that old tank in the basement. Great character with the rivets all showing. Thanks for taking the time.
That must have been a beautiful home in it's day. Thanks for all the wonderful videos. You are my favorite explorer on RUclips
Great video! Love your work. No bad language, no featuring graffiti, just the right amount of info from you, TikiTrex. Do love your work!!! But oh, soooo sad that vandals make such a disaster of these beautiful homes!!! Makes me sick! Keep up the good work!

+Jessica Lynn I agree that people should appreciate the history of such a house.
always wanted a home in woods with a pond
+DENNIS N Apparently not everyone wants it as badly.
It's always so sad to see these beautiful old houses destroyed. I really appreciate your respect and admiration for the architecture and history. Thank you for documenting and sharing this manor with us.

I love your vids... I appreciate how slow you go and how you explain what we are seeing... You do a Great job... keep doing what you do 😃
Thank you Pam for another glorious adventure!
love the large post at top of stairs! all old door handles! hope they were saved. thanks for sharing!💜
Hi, Pam! That is a humongous house! I absolutely love it when a driveway or drive through is lined with trees, especially when it's older trees. Thank you so much for showing such a unique and luxurious find! I hope you have a wonderful week! - Alex.

+Gina Diefenbach Thanks, Gina!
Shelves!! Coming from a family with several professors and being book lovers we have always put shelves into every room in our homes. But this one was super duper: they were built in which I love. Thanks for sharing!
First of your videos I've seen. It's a beautiful house n sad to know that it is gone. Such a waste. Great video. I'm subscribing! Hey from Nevada,USA!
Thanks so much for sharing this with us Tiki. I'm so glad I subbed. All the way from the UK:))))).
+RobbWilliams11 I'm glad you subbed, too! Thanks so much! Cheers from Canada :)
Very sad to see the loss of the beautiful architectural design of these old homes. It was a great video.....thought I couldn't wait for you to upload a new one! :)
+joni griffin Thanks, Joni. :)
You couldn't have said it better Tiki, "all in the name of money". Thank you for sharing this beautiful home with us, so sad to hear that it's been torn down...Shame.
You did a great job at giving us the feel of the house once was. Barely noticed the graffiti the way that was presented. And there was hints to as how bad it may have really been. Great Explore!
+PrairieDodgers Thank you! Yes, it was the worst I have seen. I've come across a lot of graffiti with just profane talk which is commonplace in these places, but here, It was mainly nasty pornographic sprayed images. I have families who sit down to watch my videos with their children, so I had to keep that audience in mind.
TikiTrex, is there a way to bitmap just the offensive images and keep most of the structural info?
wow what a beauty that place is. Pretty large in size. thanks for the tour Tiki
+Abandoned Steve (Historical - Urbex) She did a good job covering the place.
I like the way you said, 'box after box', because houses now have no heart. they are just places for people to be. There was a time when a house was a big part of a family, and it told it's story. Even when no one lived there, you can/could feel history. Stories untold. I've watched all your vids over the last couple of years, well done.
+Joseph Headley Thanks for watching and sticking by me so long, Joseph. It's appreciated. :)
What a beautiful treasure! Makes me so sad to see these elegant structures destroyed. Thank you so much for sharing. It makes me happy when you post a new video! You are the best!
Thanks for the sweet comment, Kathy! It means a lot. :)
Another great video, thank you. Live the link to the article too, as it shows some pictures of how it used to be, with many books! I did my first exploration of a old abandoned swimming pool, situated on a holiday camp in the UK, I was in their taking photos and I was discovered by two employees of the holiday site and escorted out and security was called. I explained i just wanted to take photos and they found it quite amusing, but I felt awful for the rest of my holiday and very guilty (another employee let me in as told him I was interested and I was so worried he would get told off, even though I told them I found my own way in, I was worried they would check the security tapes and see him let me in) so ever since I'm back to just exploring with you as it's safer and I don't get the horrible guilty feeling I still get when thinking about my summer holiday! So a big thank you, for allowing me do explore safely from my iPad! X
Wow what a beautiful place that once was! It had such great character and styling, very cool house! Too bad it has to be demolished. Great video, Thanks
Thank you so much for your consideration to the people who watch with their grandchildren. I love to watch them with my 6 or old granddaughter. She loves to go exploring with Nana..we call it treasure hunting😁
♡
Such a shame. What a gorgeous house and lovely property. My first thoughts at the start when you were outside was that I felt sorry for the old trees, because developers seem to love taking those down. So sad.
that pump you saw was an old piston pump for the water system. it was the type used prior to modern deep well pumps or jet pumps.
Shame the tress couldn't be protected either. It drives me nuts when people chop down trees willy nilly. My neighbours moved in then quickly chopped down two lovely old trees which gave privacy and noise reduction, I could throttle them :-I
Thank you for exploring these abandoned homes. What kind of person would tear up a beautiful staircase such as this ? I wish it were part of my home.
Thank You! Sorry to hear its been demolished the reason they knocked it down it had espestce growing in the walls some people sued over the circumstance.
Whoa. Good thing she was wearing a mask.
I'm so jealous of all the built in's and storage....wow!
I am from London, Ontario and would see this beautiful house between the trees while driving down the Fanshawe rd. The history and beauty of the land was amazing. It was disappointing to drive past one day to only see the house was completely gone... I thought maybe someday I'd tour the property as you did.
I was hoping to one day see the home being restored, and wondering why the house had been neglected, although the time I was too young to know it had been purchased by developers.
A few years ago I watched this video and searched deeper online as to why the house had been taken down, but the property still remains the same after all this time, the trees actually are protected! Such a shame it was too late to save the incredible house, now the property just sits.
Love this house, Thank you for sharing!
Just stumbled onto your channel... first woman explorer I've seen! very good videos and a lot of courage lol.
Tiki, I love your videos. I love exploring abandoned places myself, just rarely ever have the time to do it, so I'll make do with yours for my fix! and as far as you censoring certain images, I don't blame you one bit.
Wow! That looks crazy! I love exploring places like that also!
Love your videos! Thank for all the work that goes into do this. 😍
+Kris West Always a pleasure, Kris. :)
I really enjoy your videos TikiTrx. Thank you!
It's so creepy how, despite being on the edge of a busy road, it is so quiet inside.
+Max Moser (aMAXproduction) Rich people don't want to hear no cars!
+ogggooo Poor people don't either, but there's no choice.
jiggahippo "No" would be synonymous with "any" in this sense.
That's because nobody's inside of it...! Sheesh people
For some people anything that's not the interior of an ikea is "creepy"
lady boywonder It's more the fact that this was someones safest place to them and now it's just rotting.
It's such a shame this beautiful house, in its beautiful surroundings, has to be torn down!!! Thank you Tiki for documenting your finds. Much love from the UK :)
+KoKoPoP Always my pleasure! Cheers from Canada. :)
Hey Tiki. If I am not mistaken, that rusty tank with the "wheel" was an old water tank & the wheel was part of a pump. Well water was pumped into the tank. Looks like that house was once amazing. Great video. Thanks Tiki.
+annie ann Thanks so much, Annie Ann.
It's so gorgeous, I can only imagine how it would looks fixed up!
Beautiful property . Was surprised at how little it was vandalized with all the graffiti . Thank you for another great video .
Even in Canada, money is more important than people and history
That house is so amazing! Thanks for showing it.
Wow what a great find Very large and lots of built-ins they must have loved there books Superb job as always Pam!
Thanks, Jsson!
Thanks again for this Amazing Episode! You should come to Europe some day, A lot of abandoned places around! Very interresting.
+freestylegamers I would love that. Thank you for your comment.
great job as always Pam, looks to me like the place may have been a library, or some thing similar, was waiting for a new vid from you, what a pleasant surprise this morning to find a new one
+RICH DUDDY Thanks so much! I'm glad you were happy to see it.
Beautiful house and amazing video as usual.
Thank you for sharing :)
Vandals are a major problem here in Australia too.
Its almost Impossible to avoid.
Reminds me of the Abandoned School i explored earlier this year.
Thanks :)
This is one of the saddest ones I've seen in terms of how well appointed and up to date the house was. Such a gorgeous manor that's in good shape structurally speaking, it's such a shame it got demolished :(
Thanks so much for answering, & so quickly!! I will check it out, for sure!! Just love your videos & always turn them on to everyone! Take care & be safe! God speed
Glad you found your way out, great explore as always. That staircase!!
+Hollyweeds Thanks. I loved that staircase as well.
An absolutely beautiful home this was!! I sure wish someone could've saved it! I get so flipping sick of developers demolishing the most beautiful, well-constructed homes in order to replace then with crap that barely stands up for a few years (in comparison to the 200+ y/o homes I mean). Thank you for taking us along on the tour and can't wait for the next one!!! :-)
Wow....so happy you got videos of it.
Wow what an amazing family home that once was. so sad to see beautiful house,s like that being demolished for the sake of money, great out door space and patio area, you can just imagine the kids running and playing outside, so sad. thanks for another great find. keep up the amazing finds .Big hi from cold Scotland.
+George Park Hi George. Thanks for your nice comment. Cheers from Canada.
Beautifully filmed as usual - thank you. Your bravery - especially when you filmed the basement is enviable!
So sad to see the demolition of another century home - along with such beautiful fir trees. Based on a similar home belonging to distant relatives up north, I'd guess it was built about 1850 . That house still survives (for the time being).
Like you, I can't understand what drives vandals to destroy a home, and glad you censored the graffiti - video is much better without it.
Wasn't it surprising not to see home-made preserves in the basement? First time Ever!
+Meg Simpson Hi Meg! Thanks so much for the nice comment. I thought the same thing when I saw those empty shelves in the basement. Usually something is always left behind on those even when the main parts of the house are emptied out.
And poof! The house, landscaping, land, history are gone as if they never existed. Such a shame. But an excellent explore as always, Pam. Thank you for documenting this lovely old place.
+Kittydoc90 Thank you, Cristina! When the demo crew is finished, you would never know anything existed there, and they're fast!
I felt some anticipation when you made the statement that you'd "missed something"...and you were right. I was waiting to get a look at that upstairs screened in porch. It didn't look like there was a door anywhere in the rooms you looked at (well, that one entire room was blocked out due to the porn graffiti) but I sure had my heart set on seeing that upstairs porch. Out here, in California, there are a lot of screened in porches (Florida rooms, etc) but they are mostly on the ground floor. Its rare to see an upstairs "sleeping porch" and was so looking forward to it. Well, I'm sure there's a lot on your mind when you're in an abandoned place, like who or what might jump out at you, if an angry owner or cops will show up, etc. so it's not that big of a deal. It's more heartbreaking to see a glorious home like this being trashed and ultimately demolished. I don't understand what is wrong with people, so casually eliminating history only to replace it with literal garbage structures that no one is even going to care about when they are torn down in 20 years. So very sad. I don't see why the property owners didn't just restore the house, get it on the national registry then rent it for an ungodly amount of money like they do some houses here...then downsize the lot by selling parcels while saving the original home. It may be about money, but some people let greed make them utterly stupid...apparently. This house didn't have to go and if someone had played it smart, it wouldn't have been demolished. Dumb, greedy jerks!
Pam, you could parlay this into a 'National Geographic' channel series! MORE (pretty please)! Regarding the post before me, I much prefer abandoned houses than hospitals or industry, only because there is a lot more mystique and wonder regarding the families that lived in their sacred homes once upon a time. What was life like for them? Were they happy, or experience tragedy or illness? So many thoughts and questions to ponder as you go through these homes...
+AudiophileTubes LOL! And more you shall receive.:) I agree with you about the houses. I started my last channel with mostly industrial. I was noticing more interest in the houses from my viewers for the very reason you prefer them, so I started concentrating more on the houses while sliding the odd industrial/facility in there to accommodate the ones that prefer those. Thanks for your comment.
Such beautiful, mysterious spaces, destined for demolition... so many of the places I've explored no longer exist, having been torn down or collapsed on their own. Keep documenting them - they won't be here forever.
Love the video. All yours videos I love. Why haven't you been on to share anything in well about over a year or so now. Your the reason I got into watching exploring vids. Very first one I watched was your Nevada ghost town. Come back do more, please? Appreciative viewer danielle =}.
Wow, Thanks for the adventure Pam. I bet that was a beauty back in its day. what a shame the vandals got a hold of it, city vandals are the worst. And wow, whats up with all the shelves....LOL. So glad you were able to film it before demolition!
+jim ogle You're welcome, Jim! I was glad I got there just in time as well. Take care!
I watched this two years ago, and I came back to watch once more and mash the like button.
Beautifully done once again THANKS!!
What happened to this channel? No uploads in over a year? WE MISS YOU!!
An excellent video! Thank you for leaving out the profanities you found. At the age of. 66, I've learned all the words. It's a shame all the vandals did not show such interest in biology class. In my high school bio class we had the same idiotic action by our weekend boozers and such! You kept the viewers interest in shelves beyond compare! Thanks for your work. Please be careful in those vacant homes. They're dangerous!
Another great shooting TikiTrex, beautiful property!
Thank you for sharing.
+Oswald Maravalhas de Menezes Neto Thanks, Oswald!
. . Almost looks like they cut a hole into floor of a old tiled bathroom for a stairway into the basement ? . .
Towel rack and mirror are still on wall .Maybe at one time only had a outside entrance into basement.
+Kat ヅ That's an excellent theory; it makes a lot of sense. It really was odd to have a mirror up so high and on a stairway at all. The towel rack makes your theory even sensible.
+Kat ヅ I thought the exact same thing. Love those vinyl tiles!
As ALWAYS, you've done an amazing job of covering this this place. Initially, I look forward to hearing that beautiful voice of yours. If your voice is comparable to your appearance, you must be one beautiful woman. I've seen most (if not all) of your videos but I must say. I find this one tops them all! The architectural planning to construct a `maze' like this did indeed take quite a bit of fore thought. I truly enjoy your videos as an urban explorer above all others for the simple fact that you take your time, explaining everything very distinctly as you go along while at the same time, pointing out specific features. Keep up your terrific work. I'll be looking forward to your next `release'. God Bless & take care!!
+Donald Rutman Thanks so much for the sweet comment, Donald. Much appreciated. :)
