4:19 The room off the dining room here is the butler's pantry. He was in charge of everything needed at table - china, crystal/glassware, silver, etc., hence all the built-ins. That long marble counter probably was wood originally and used to stage food before servants brought it in. The sink is merely for quick wash ups if needed. The heavy washing up would be done in the kitchen, while family and guests would have used a washroom elsewhere in the house. Notice how the pantry conveniently opens on the servant's stairs to the attic and also to the kitchen. The top floor rooms would have housed both servants and small, noisy children as both would have been seen and not heard when the house was built. I wonder if this place hasn't had several additions over the years. The entry is simpler in style which says pre-Civil War to me, but that dining room fireplace and in many other rooms were Art Nouveau which is more late 19th to early 20th century. Whether just the mantels were replaced during those years or whole rooms were added I have no idea. Can't believe any of that woodwork was painted originally What a great find and thanks so much for sharing it with us!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
My first thought, upon seeing the marble counter and sink, plus the china and other kinds of cabinets, and all the drawers, was "Butler's pantry!" Never seen one, but have read about them and remember the one from the movie, "How to Murder Your Wife," with Jack Lemmon, Terry-Thomas, and Virna Lisi. I also don't remember seeing a pocket door before, although it it was closed, would we see it at all? With all the "little people's furniture, the place looked like a nursery school, though they were probably much-loved "young'uns."
@The Graham if the first painting was done with oil based paint which I suspect it was and then the second, third layer was done with water based paint it would have peeled off easily with time...
I thought it was funny that he thought that was a bathroom.
What a shame to abandom such a mansion. Love to own such a place!!!!
What a loss this house is going to be. Pure craftmanship again. Absolutely amazing.
My God what a beautiful old house. I can only wish to have the funds to buy and repair a house like this. Thanks Kappy I think its one of your best so far!
Absolutely majestic home! Beautiful.... but why is this allowed to happen? If the owners lost it to the bank, then why don't those worthless institutions keep the home in good repair for resale? This is all so sad. Imagine all the happy family Christmases and births this home has seen in over a century. If walls could talk, just imagine all the history we could learn.
I agree. Nothing is being accomplished by allowing the house to deteriorate. This house is another example of my belief that there could and should be people who could be considered professional house-sitters to look after unoccupied homes, doing some maintenance and providing some security, until a new owner takes over. I think there could be many people who would enjoy living in different locations and who would be good at providing that service while maybe even having another job that could be done online as their laptop could allow for a virtual office. I have no doubt that this could be accomplished.
Laura Ann I always wonder, when I see these of abandoned homes and hear the loud traffic nearby, if the land that was once privately owned was purchased or annexed for the highway to be built and then no one wanted to live that close
About 25 ago, I rented a farmhouse for awhile. The family was renting it because the highway had moved closer to the house, and they moved farther away because they could hear the interstate traffic.I understand they’ve now torn it down because no one was renting it. I think he probably needed the land for crops. But it was an old farm house with all the white plaster walls, hardwood floors, creaky steps, etc. I’d hear coyotes yipping at night 😳 I also had a friend in high school who grew up in the country. Her father built them a new home and let his cattle live in the old one as a barn.
People often aren’t very sentimental.🤷🏻♀️
@@bootsierosenweig9495 So true, that is what happened with a lot of old homes. Government taking land to build Interstate 5 for example. My grandfather was one of those men who had to literally tell little old ladies that they had to leave their homes that had been homesteaded by their ancestors back when it was still part of Oregon territory (built pre-Statehood). It was a difficult job, heartbreaking in many cases. All in the name of progress. I think you're right.
@@andrewbrendan1579 That would be an excellent answer to this problem. Really great idea, it should be done.
It's crazy, someone could claim rights to the property if they lived in it and fixed it up for a few years.
I wish there was a picture of this house in it's prime. Another excellent explore, thank you so much;)
That leaded glass window is a work of art, and is SO worth preserving. The house looks like it may have had some remodeling, with the radiators added for a more 'modern' heat source. It has many modern style doorknobs, but still has ceramic ones also. What a house Kappy, you've been putting out one great video, right after another and your attention to detail is greatly appreciated!
That was one of my most favorite houses you've went in.l can only imagine what it looked like in its prime.its just beautiful. You will not find houses built like that anymore,it was just beautiful. Please be careful in your explores...l sure do love them.
Absolutely beautiful! I could vision coming in the front door, with a warm fire in the fireplace. Wow! Stunning is right on about this place. You've really topped off this one,compared to all the other beautiful homes you have shown us. Very most excellent video Kappy! 10 thumbs up on this one!
This is one gigantic home. Has some hope ,but only if someone has the financial backup and the patience to restore some of the rooms going bad. Entrance of home is gorgeous and outside looks beautiful .
What a gorgeous home! I love it! I want it! I hope someone can refurbish this. Absolutely incredible.
The little room off to the right that had the marble countertop and sink basin was most likely the butlers pantry. The first room was the dining room. Such a great house!
The original kitchen was prob past the butlers pantry (gray marble) and down those stairs. When people moved the kitchen upstairs In these big houses they made them smaller because the owners had staff with modern appliances. And kitchens weren’t the show spaces they are today. You’ve prob seen that before. My mom was a beautician and I would go with her to some fancy homes when she styled the ladies hair. The homes would have these tiny kitchens and a maid. So different from today. Home has some beautiful details and 6-9 fireplaces? Wow. Did notice the closet door to the little surfer room looked pretty modern. Maybe some grandkids moved in? I could ask a million questions. Thanks for the tour. ❤️
Most houses had the kitchens in a building next to the house, as a precaution should it catch on fire the main house wouldn't be damaged.
Yeah, kitchens in 19th century houses are always updates/additions. Kitchen fires were so common (and kitchens created tons of heat) they were never attached to the main house so your house didn't burn down too if there was a kitchen fire.
Sorry I have left multiple coments, but I just cannot fathom why there aren't more 'likes' on this video! You do an outstanding job Kappy. You move the camera slowly for us to see everything, and you point out all the amazing work put into this home. I'm left wondering what is up with the majority of the people who have watched this video, and others like it. Much more appreciation should be shown toward videos like this. Thanks for taking the time to go to all these places and provide us with fantastic videos. You are appreciated.
I really do appreciate that! Thank you very much (: makes it all the more worthwhile knowing that people enjoy it, thank you 👍
Laura Ann, I've said before that I wish I could figure out a way to let people know about his excellent videos. I'm not on any social media, but maybe someone could clue in Dan Bell and/or other good Urbexers.
@@oldenweery7510 Great idea!
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 You're very welcome. To be humbly honest, you are the best urban Explorer on RUclips. 👏🏰
Laura Ann agree. Kappa is one of my urbex faves
So heartbroken 😞 Such a beautiful home destroyed by mold and rot!
Pocket doors 😍 This is my dream home! With a good clean up and a kitchen redo haha. So pretty. Looks like they put all the kids in the attic. That was some funky 90s surfer wallpaper.
Subbed your friend! I'll check them out this evening.
Agreed haha! Thank you Very much for watching!! (:
@@pushmearound As someone who's older than you, I have to let you know that that tacky wallpaper is definitely 80's, lol!
@@SadRahne I was born in the 70s. You could be right but that reminds me of something from saved by the bell lol
@@pushmearound Take it as a compliment 😊 You look much younger.
Saved by the Bell, lol! Yeah, that's some tacky wallpaper.
I know u hear this a lot but it's sad that nobody ever reclaimed this house and it has been left to rot away. Great explore tho. 😍
I must add, that in this country all of our history is allowed to rot away. There are no conservation groups to keep history alive like in Great Britain.
Part of the problem is if it's not a key part of something historical that has happened then no one will step up and save it. Which is so sad. But even if it has historical significance it's not always saved, just left to rot and by the time someone realizes the importance of it, it's usually too late to save.
@@kimmckeever9001 ...pls know Kim, developers have no sentimentals ties to places like this, just tear it down, oh its old, historical, just tear it down. $$$$thats what they see.
Makes me so sad 😞!!!
Ontario Canada is much worse. They tear down perfectly good homes and old homes. There are many homes here that people with money restore to the home's former glory. Check out the Canadian explorers that are in Ontario. You'll see what I'm talking about.
I always hit the like button even before i watch your videos!! Never dissapointed!
Terri Sparrow same here lol
Me too!!! Always, i already know what to expe t. Never a disappointment!!!! 😊
Me to.
That is an absolutely beautiful house! I am actually sad right now, because it won’t be saved. These houses still had life, you can sense it, passion, class. Now everything is so uniform, and it’s simply just sad. But I guess affordable. Not meant to last.....
The room with the sink looks more like a pantry or serving room.
That is just a freaking shame that such a beautiful, grand old house is left to rot away!!! So beautiful! Excellent video! Thanks for sharing!
This house really had a lot of unique features about it, would love to know some history about it. Great find
This is my dream house! So beautiful n big windows n fireplaces. I'd get rid of the add on. It takes away from the nature of the house. Would take a lot of money to fix it up due to the mold. But man I'm in love! Kappy your amazing! Incredible find. Stay safe and God bless!
This is one big awesome house. I like the gargoyle in the beginning of the video so cool. Fireplaces and mantels are very nice. A little bit of cleanup and repair that house would be ready to move in. Great video Kappy.
Agreed! Would be an awesome and expensive place to fix up! Thank you for watching! (:
@@r-e_mii Thats my thoughts too, beautiful old home, but too much black mold, a lot would have to be removed..pretty much starting from scratch, sadly
A LITTLE CLEAN UP AND REPAIR??? Tons of cleaning, and major repair. However, it's not to far gone that if someone wanted to spend at least half million, could probably be done. That addition thats collapsed, has to be removed, and re enclosed, better make that 750.000 bucks to restore .
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 where was this ? what state?
@@johnfranklin5277 Does your estimation include getting rid (if possible) of All of the Black Mold?
Absolutely stunning house, so much potential!!! Love the pocket doors downstairs and the transom windows on the 2nd floor. What a reno this would be! Thanks for the awesome video.
wow, house had been gorgeous & so love that one chandler. To funny, @ 1:40 said go to the right, then turn camera,
to left, sounds like what I been doing. Great video..
What a beautiful, ornate house that could definitely be saved!! I especially liked the old sink in the one room on the first floor & the vintage 1920s toilet in the first floor bathroom as well.
1:54 parlor doors. Oh this place has it all , what a wonderful house. Thanks Kap , just stunning.
Thanks for watching!
I wonder about the upper rooms. I believe it was an industrial type hand crank paper towel dispenser I saw hanging to the right, just inside the doorway leading me to wonder if a daycare or a doctor's office upstairs? I have seen too many bizarre things on YT so who knows.
I think I've come across your channel before and as I wondered then, I wonder now. Are you always alone when you do these? Please tell us you let someone know where & when you will be "just in case." It doesn't take much. There is a couple who explore and she broke her leg!
I'd seen a lot of comments regarding the wasting of such homes, interstates, etc. In the US, there is "Imminent Domain," a 'law' that can force someone from their home. As a child, I lived in Stamford, CT and my Mama Rita's house was my favorite place to go. A Colonial style home, white with black shutters, a stream/river at the back, lush green grass and a hand cranked clothes line. Christmas Eve was the most exciting. My great aunts and uncles were the children of Italian immigrants while my dad's mother's family were from Ireland.
I finally got back up there after decades, a cousin shocked that I knew where I was even though I was only 8 when we left. It was then that I noticed the road was wide and curved, my Mama Rita's house gone. She was in the way of widening the road. Given "fair value" according to the powers that be, she was forced into a 1br co-op. While this may be the case in some of these old homes, the same powers paid fair value only to later change their minds.
When Disney was looking into Florida (my native state) there were ranchers, farmers, grove owners who did not want to budge. (Walt lived in Kissimmee as a child before going back to Chicago.) When plans failed, they went around the barn to get into another door. Dummy businesses were created and through that deception, the land was acquired. When I was born, there were two area codes, 305 and 813. 904 was added in 1965. 1988 brought 407. Come May, a new area code that will overlay most of the Disney/Daytona (Lake, Seminole, Orange, Osceola and Volusia counties) will bring the 18th area code of 689.
How weird am I to still remember my phone # from age 10?
This is a nice home & no graffiti. Someone could restore this place! The attic was nice!
Black mold in the house from leaky roof makes it dangerous to remodel.
@@jax-zm1bb Right...It's a tear down . You could build a duplicate for less than the cost of fixing .
@@anngetts5869 you cant build a duplicate, this is built with materials, and craftsmanship that no longer exists.
I can just imagine having Christmas there, it being beautifully decorated, & my guests arriving to the bough covered roaring fireplace! If only....!
I love it when homes have 3 floors there’s something magical about it
Wonderful house! You can tell who ever lived there cared. I agree, a little clean up (well, maybe more than just "a little") and it could be beautiful again. Not too much traffic noise either. Another good job Kappy.
What you called the first kitchen was called a butlers pantry. They would store fancy dishes and silver there. Clean up after fancy parties. They are usually closer to the kitchen. Thanks for sharing. This one made me kinda of sad. I'm sure in the beginning someone might have been able to save it. You said the upstairs was nasty.....I have seen you crawl over much worse. What made it bad?
It is so sad to see these once "Grand Ladies" go to ruin. I wish some one would buy them and refurbish and bring them back to their glorious state that they once were.
A beautiful bright sunny day, and all the furniture has arrived and is in place. I can imagine a little girl of the era skipping into the front door with her dolly in hand and brothers and sister running wildly through their new home. Daddy and Mother are right behind grinning from ear to ear. Mother then saying, "What a perfect house, I could live here forever".
Beautiful old Mansion, Could and Should be Saved!...Stay Safe..Great Work..
This is not a mansion, its a high quality, large home. With some expensive features. But NOT a mansion.
@@johnfranklin5277 And? So What?
I was surprised the kitchen wasn’t nicer but it had beautiful windows. Some little girl probably loved that pink bedroom with the lovely fireplace. I just discovered your channel last night and I’m totally hooked! Thanks for sharing all these amazing old homes with us!
I love this house this is your best explore! Too bad it will just rot away. So many nice touches in this house. Wow Kappy you always find the best places. Thank you for taking me along with you today!
What an interesting place. The "Fresco" on top of the fireplace still preserves good colors, at a glance it seems to be some kind of jazz group. It's amazing ❤
Wow wow wow!!! And why why why?!!, I will never understand the lost historic beauty and craftsmanship that's left to decay. Some people do not know how very lucky they are to own such a piece of history. I love this home. Thank you again for another great video.
Wow, just wow, you have outdone yourself on this one Kappy, Just gorgeous!!! I could live in this one!
Thank you once again!
Nice Great Find Kappy!... 👍 I love these big three story mansions... I would've loved to have seen the basement tho... and it's a shame that this once upon a time beauty had to be abandoned and fell into such despair!... 😢
For future reference, the "wash room" off the dining room is actually called a ' butler's pantry. The room next to the kitchen would have been used as a study or den.
That was beautiful!! The staircase, the fireplaces in every room, the servants quarters in the attic, the round window in the downstairs bath, the wallpaper, & the 2 lights over most of the fireplaces. The pocket door, to your left, when you first enter, the jazz picture. So much to love on this one. Only thing that bothered me was the kitchen, way too small for that house. Wish I could buy & renovate it. Awesome explore!!
amazing, beautiful, and grand mansion, a great find, thanking for taking me along on this tour, you had me laughing when you seemed worried about the vultures, I dont think they will harm you, but they are ghastly looking creatures, so I can understand why someone would be afraid of them. I am looking forward to your next video. I like all of your videos.
Very cool find. To bad it was let go so long. Plus it had a lot of black mold. It just goes to show you that the add on was not as well built as the original part of the house
I'm really hooked on your videos lol!!! So therefore, I Love Them! 😊 You've really come along with these and I'm going to try an do a little exploring of my own when it get's warmer out. I do have a question if you get to read this. Have you ever had someone comment on your videos as to it being recognized or ever lived in the places that you find? Keep up the good work and I definitely appreciate what you do and the places that you find. 😊
Great video....its great that you let us have a good look. Beautiful house with a good clean up and a few renos. I would love to live in a house like this...
Absolutely stunning. The entrance hall and staircase is still very welcoming.
I wonder why the owners left that painting. Such a shame, as often is with abandoned houses, that its being allowed to fall into ruin.
Just seen in comments that your name is Kappy.
Very chilled out presentation 🤔 commentary. Thanks very much 😊
Kappy , did you notice in the room w the white fireplace mantle and the children’s blackboard, the brickwork on the fireplace itself was slanted on top left and right. That was the design of the bricks. You don’t see that often!
So far it is a most beautiful outside and inside place we’ve seen in a long time? Maybe But,ears Pantry off of children’s room where the chalk board was.
Here again there is some little evidence of someone trying to fix it up. Doggone Money Problems again! People just don’t realize how much it takes!!
From what we can see, that was more of a complete 3rd floor than an attic! Great video and beautiful place!
I wonder if you ever search the address on Google Earth and see any older pics of it occupied? With the pocket doors and ceiling roses and all those built in the just don't make em like they used to. Imagine how stunning this would have been for Christmas!
Another great video! This house was amazing. Love all the fireplaces and archways. Thank you.
Just recently discovered your channel and subscribed. Truly appreciate that you never swear in your videos, a rarity on RUclips anymore unfortunately. With your seeming interest and respect for history and architecture, I think you would enjoy taking some courses on the subjects to enhance your ability to identify and understand the different styles and eras that you encounter. Kudos to you, my good man! Totally enjoying your channel and sensitive and respectful spirit.
Imagine if the house was bought and restored years back.. how awesome for boarding people. So much space all the rooms had fireplaces. even the closet had one! I loved the oval window in the downstairs. Such detail. Can you fathom the beautiful glass chandeliers still hanging perfectly.. and the massive fixed leaded glass window..Yikes! well as those mantels ( I would leave them alone..chippy paint most awesome thing ever!). Even the bricks were placed in a fan like pattern under the mantles. That place is crazy sweet... Loved it. Thanks a bunch for sharing a place with us we could not see otherwise... peace.. and pocket doors!!!
P.S where was the water coming from? I would have tried to shut it off. One room above I saw a puddle of water . on the oak floor... Was the water on do you think?
Thank you! Love the time you spend going slowly, giving us time to see the details of this beautiful home. Great job. ❤️
Wow! This was an outstanding home. What a blessing the vandals hadn't destroyed it. Thanks so much.
Such a beautiful old house going to ruin, the mantles in here are so intricate. Looks like it can still be saved, hopefully one day it will. Great job here Kappy.
Another beautiful one! I too could just imagine it being restored. It is for the most part structurally sound. It is so huge though that I can’t see one family needing that much space. Thanks for sharing!
Beware of black mold. The spores are in the air you are breathing and the lead paint is toxic too. We love your videos! Please wear protective masks before you get very sick. We want you to be safe and keep producing these wonderful tours.
Thank you! Have definitely been thinking more about getting a mask or respirator, have started having breathing problems over the past year
LOL you said what I was thinking that the one closet looks like a out house. Really beautiful house Kappy. To bad someone wouldn't come along and restore it.
Wow that house was absolutely gorgeous I hope someone will see the beauty in it and restore it to its former glory it’s sad to see it sit and rot what a shame. Thank you so much kappa for sharing this beautiful house with us please keep the videos coming
Poor house. I'm sure there were some happy memories made in that home. Thank you for showing it to us.
Cute kid's furniture and painting. Chandeliers look valuable and round windows and stained glass windows
I'm not positive but as I've been learning more about the architectural history of American houses but I think this house or parts of it may be a Colonial Revival or Georgian Revival from the late 1800's or very early 1900's when older styles were popular again. Whatever the date or dates: what a house!---Looks like another example of the equation of too much house + too much need for work + much expense + not enough people willing to take over the place = an abandoned house going to waste.---Looks like someone gave up on or forgot about the last of the packing-up.---Someone, please save the chandeliers and fireplaces and staircase window and other fittings before nature and vandals get to them.
Completely agree with you! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment! 👍 I really appreciate it!!
I only said the early 1800s part because it’s real property info said it was built in 1850 but I agree! Thank you!
The transoms and pocket doors are worth saving.
I sure hope someone would buy it and fix it up❤👍❤
What a neat house. And it wasn't full of trash, people trash like old magazines and books and VHS tapes piles of cloths. So cool. Great video. Oh, why didn't you check and see if Toby was home.
I always enjoy your videos Kappy ! Thank you for taking the time to do this , and taking us along! 🏠
Oh they are just such beautiful memories of our past. LOVE these old homes..
Beautiful home sad to see it left when it could be restored. I was picturing lots of people enjoying this home as you made your tour through it.Such a shame.Awesome video Kappy
I am amazed that no one has salvaged some of the finishings from this house. The chandeliers, the fireplaces, the marble and granite, the stained glass could all be salvaged and used for other buildings. What a waste. The home must have been absolutely beautiful during its heyday.
I so agree! At least some of the beauty and elegance could be salvaged! It's the only way to remember a grand old house once it's gone! At least some of the furnishings can continue on if they are saved in time!
Are you promoting STEALING the items you mentioned? The valuable parts of the home, its JEWELRY, Should only be removed once demolition of the property has been decided. If you go in and remove the things that still make it beautiful. Not only are you stealing, but make it even more likely no one will want to buy and restore it. Don't worry, nobody going to bulldoze the place without removing the good stuff.
@@johnfranklin5277, Of course, I do not condone stealing. I would hope that whoever owns the home would take such things and either sell them or give them to someone who would put them to good use. That's what salvaging means.
So sad that these homes are abandoned. There was is so much history. Thanks for sharing the tours of these beautiful homes
WOW such a beautiful house.Incredible features like those lovely arched windows and gorgeous fireplaces. Such a shame...Thank you Kappy
Great job on your video of the grand mansion. Enjoyed looking at the details of the intire home.. Ty👏👏
EARTH ANGEL😇 Grand old home on beautiful property! Some parts look restorable, Why abandoned! Mold? Servants stairs lead to their living quarters. Grand fireplaces in downstairs living quarters are to impress; people didn’t really “entertain” or eat,or pay social visits to one in their bedrooms, therefore no need to spend extra money on a fancy fireplace!!!🤔 One is a “summer” kitchen. Nice “pocket” doors; low hanging light is because it hung over a dining room table!, curtains still hanging,no graffiti,archways; all these extras meant they had some money.👍😷😍👍
Wow! What a magnificent house! A fabulous grand entry way when you see the beautiful staircase and big fireplace. I spotted that incredible chandelier in the room to the right of the foyer. It's hard to believe that this beautiful home was abandoned. What a find. Thank you Kappy for sharing. One of the best!
This was a really gorgeous home! I wonder why it is in this ruined condition? I think that first "bathroom" with the long marble counter and sink was a butler's pantry (I didn't see a toilet in there). Back when the evening meal was a fancy affair, a butler's pantry provided a spot between the kitchen and dining room for the servers to arrange plates and such before carrying them into the dining room table. I have never seen such a huge set of pocket doors, and the arches throughout the house were really lovely. Archways like those, and the columns and swags with flowers on the fancier mantels, are a style called Palladian that was popular in the States by the late 1700's and remained popular for colonial style homes and public buildings into the early twentieth century. So sad to see this home falling apart like this...it's a real shame.
Large Pink bedroom with a beautiful fireplace . I can only imagine how beautiful it looked when it was furnished.
Crushing the mansion game yet again! Such a shame another house will be destroyed.
Beautiful home needs to be saved! Thanks for showing🙂
I really like this house. That chandelier in the one room was gorgeous. The one fireplace upstairs was really nice too and the blue flowered wallpaper upstairs was pretty too and looked in good shape. Thanks for sharing
new sub here going thru and watching your old videos this was awesome what a house shame to go to waste i will be checking out all your videos so glad i found you great work!!
What a beautiful grand lady she was in her day.. the banks should at least sell it for restoration pieces for people who are trying to restore these old homes..
Makes me sad these once beautiful houses are decayed and wasting away.
I can just imagine how beautiful this home once was.
The washroom is actually a butlers pantry. They were typically off the dining room near the kitchen for storage of plates, glassware, flatware, etc. and as a staging area for food service. The small staircase would have been for servants.
I’d love to buy that place!
I love the details on the mantels! How sad it is all abandoned!
Kappy you have excelled yourself yet again every video you show to us is different small houses by streams house over caves of water... you must spend hours finding and filming { believe me buddy we are all immensely grateful to you OK this house i lost count the amount of bathrooms closets i think maybe the owners of this house had servants / butler and housekeeper.. it so big imagine trying to keep a house this size in order on their own impossible date wise about late 1890s early 1900s to 1910... windows are sash-cord two pane basically you could either open upper window or lower depending on how hot or windy the weather was outdoors... we had the same in our farm in Utah {{ i can tell you they were terrible in the winter darn draft came through cost of hearing was astronomic :- you needed a small forest of logs to keep warm ... doorknobs are 1930s the other think i noticed is cupboard space for linen bed and kitchen towelling every room is designed for easy living in the 1900s to 1940s Kappy magic show my friend thanks ................Ed
That place is gorgeous. It could easily be brought back to life. I live on the west coast I never see abandoned homes where im at.
What a beautiful home. The pocket doors and fireplace mantels were amazing. Why on earth would anyone walk away from this? This house still could be saved. What a waste. Great find Kappy, as always be careful and be safe.
Man, I love that hallway, downstairs, with the staircase, archways and fireplace, to boot!
That housse is absolutely beautiful! Will someone pleae jump in and buy that house so that it can be restored and loved as it should be!
It’s a shame for this beautiful home to be left to ruin away..it must have been very elegant when it was lived in 😀
That chandelier in the room to the right is gorgeous!!
Such a beautiful old home. It's a pity that it's just being left for the vultures to nest in. So much work went into this home. One of my favorite features were the beautiful pocket doors leading from the entry to the dining room and study. And the lovely leaded glass on the landing is a grand statement that the original owners were well to do, without being overtly grandiose. Those fireplaces are gorgeous. Even through all the layers of peeling paint, you can see the craftsmanship in the details throughout this once magnificent home. You captured it perfectly. Thank you so much for sharing this remarkable piece of history.
So glad I found your site this evening, I’ve viewed eleven old homes already! Like all of us here I have always wanted to know how these old homes were laid out, finishwork, and so much more. Keep exploring & sharing. 👍
What a stunning find! Makes me sad that this gorgeous home will probably be bulldozed eventually. So many wonderful architectural beauties. Too many to comment on. Loved it!!
Thanks again for another great video and find! I have to laugh though, you seem to find a vulture in every house you go in !!!
I love the fireplaces in all the rooms.
What a waste of a beautiful house. Thank you so much for the video it was amazing to watch you always make the best videos👍👏👏😊
What a huge but strange house, love that window. Lots of bathrooms must of had lots of kids. Some nice decorating in some of the rooms. Good find Kappy.
Wow 😲 Kappy! Such a beautiful ‘antique’ home. I can only imagine how it was back then & yes, such a waste! Why didn’t the banks keep it up instead of letting nature reclaim it? I guess we’ll never know. Anyway, thank you 🙏🏻 my friend for sharing....I’m in awe. Blessings & Loving 🥰 Hugs 🤗 from your FAMZ in NC.
Wow. The potential of a once beautiful home.
Surely that badly rotted part was a newer addition. It is crazy how the original still looks great where as the newer is just completely rotten. Thank you for taking your time to show this. Always like your explores. Love that oval bathroom window.
Wow don't u just love this house, needs lots of love and care, I wish we had houses like this in England 🇬🇧. Keep up the good work x
