This one very much reminds me of my grandparents house, less all the kitchens. Built in 1907, they lived in it for almost 50 years. My papa painted, paneled, carpeted, and drop ceiling-d everywhere. The couple that bought it restored it, and invited our family to view it. We all cried - the beauty that he had covered up....the wood floors, the decorative ceilings, the wood trim - stairway - banisters - doors - the fireplace...unbelievable. I was kinda mad that he had covered all of that. Thanks, this brings me back to that! Gorgeous.
Ethan, I think you should look at more of these 100+ year old houses. I love these old houses, they have so much character. I live in a 152 year old house.
They never should have done away with pocket doors! Love those, along with all the ornate ceilings, and those ceiling light carved adornments (the actual term for those escapes me). Great house, such a solid structure.
They didn't do away with pocket doors. We had them put into our home that we built in 1996. They're still available, people just don't use them in construction anymore.
@@dianaspears571 you sorta proved my point, though. Sure, in a custom build they can be sought out and have them installed, but by and large they are no longer a standardized feature when builders are constructing a house.
@@kdfree91 true, ours was a custom build. If more people wanted them, they'd become standardized again. People are opting for large open areas, a separate room for everything is out. Pocket doors solved heating issues in the winter and created big openings for air circulation in warm months. Modern HVAC systems solved these issues. A pocket door today is a matter of personal style - one that I obviously love. We replicated several antique features into our new build to add warmth and charm.
Great old house! Loved the woodwork, stairs, and the kitchen and bathroom ceilings. Awesome! Thanks for showing us around. Great video Ethan.👏👍❤🇺🇸 p.s.- even though those stairs were a hundred years old I noticed they didn't squeak and give with every step. They were built back when carpenters really knew their business and took pride in doing a job well.👍❤🔨
It's pre-1920s. 1900-1915. My first house was built in 1916 and many of the details are extremely similar, even down to the glass on the bookcase, the doorknobs and the railing in the dining room. It's like walking into my old house again...this house is so much better condition than mine was and I was only the 3rd owner. This was definitely redone as 3 separate apartments but the remodel was done wonderfully.
Hi Ethan, I'm glad you and Terry are exploring together. I watched his video also. Just one thing, old houses are darker with smaller rooms and fewer lights. This isn't creepy, they just look sad when there is no light from the windows, no fires in the fireplace and no beautiful old furniture to make them look as grand as they should. This house reminds me of one I used to own. Thanks for sharing!
Another EXCELLENT explore Ethan. Looks like the top floor was modernized and that is probably why it’s not designated an historical landmark. Loved it. Made my Thursday! Can’t wait for the next one. Thanks🍁Again.👍🏻
Really a GREAT find Ethan! A couple of things: the fancy ceilings in the kitchen and 2nd floor bath are probably tin ceilings. I had some in an old house I used to own. Plays havoc with your wifi signal. lol But it's just another detail that gave so much character to old houses that we do't have in newer builds. The back stairway might be servants', but more likely just easier than having to truck all the way to the front of the house when you've forgotten something upstairs. Again - that old house I used to own - made me appreciate some things. I now live in a one story house. lol Thanks for this one Ethan. Def; the best older house you've toured.
Loved this house. I hope it's not being torn down. They don't build houses like this anymore. The older houses were built so much better. They were built to last. Beautiful!
So cool!! That back staircase is definitely a servant's staircase. I grew up in a house that was built in the 1870s and it had one. So glad you got to explore something different - and old!!
Thank-you Ethan and Terry. Old stuff is so fascinating to me. You two work together well and I'm glad you guys go together for this stuff. I feel safer for both of you when you have someone else with you in these old abandoned places. I think the two top floors were apartments and that staircase was the entrance/exit/shared laundry room.
What a nice house. Looks like it's from about 1900-1910. It looks just like my grade school from 1908, with the square banisters, ornate radiators, and wood trim. Those are tin ceilings-- tin panels stuck over the plaster.
I’m a collector, but also a rescuer of many things. Especially old stuff! Everything in that basement is the type of stuff I live for. I can, and do spend days going thru stuff like that. I adore learning the history of it. I of course do not advocate vandalizing or stealing of any type, but if I came across a place like this, that clearly all of it was a bonded and left to die, I would rescue it all, and find it homes that would appreciate it. I sell online, and this is my favorite thing to do. Find people who will appreciate the abandoned and discarded again. The money is just a bonus. Being able to preserve this incredible history fills my soul! I just rescued an ornate organ, that is 100 years old from going to the landfill this week. I love it, but will find a home that has the space to treasure it. This is a beautiful find of a home guys. I wish I could just visit it :)
This was once one family house...but, there are now 3 apartments......ceilings could be tin metal ceilings from the early 1900s.....basement I'd say original...from early 1900s...did you notice no creaking floors...one solid built house...loved this house...loved this Era of houses, too...great tour as always...stay safe
This Was A Very Cool House! Love the ceilings in this house. Ethan, turn the silver platter over and look in the center of the platter. It will have a silver Smith name and if it is silver plated or SS for Sterling Silver. Thanks for showing us this time capsule. Love going in the old houses, you can feel the history in them.
Wonderful house. Yes, it should be a Heritage house. I would love to restore it. Amazing. Thank you Ethan (and Terry) the ceilings are awesome. Stay safe and blessings. 😁
What's up Ethan! Wow, what a beautiful house. Probably built in the 1800's back when they built a house to last. What lovely woodwork. Looks like it was converted to apartments. Awesome explore! Keep rockin!
Wow! I LOVE this house! I wld grab that up quickly given a chance!! The fact that it is in such amazing shape says a lot for the way craftsmanship used to be!
The basement foundation is the same as the house I grew up; it was built in mid 1800s; but our home had low ceilings. You two left me howling in laughter about the photographs and photography. Excuse me but can you even do 'script'; we learned the Palmer Penmanship Method and everyone could read everyone else's writing. We knew where to put periods, commas, semi-colons [now one needs to have a computer and programs to spellcheck and grammar check. We also had a wider collection of adverbs and adjectives. Sorry to be critical; I've been enjoying your blog. "cool", "crazy", "wow", "incredible"- Ethan, please expand your vocabulary. In brief, I would have been glad to buy it; I really like the tin ceilings. I estimate the house was built in the late 1800s; It was reminiscent of a home our family rented. It does not remind me of a haunted house. That stove pipe cover in the bathroom was for a heater. The tin ceiling is original in the kitchen and the bathroom. That was a very high end build. Back staircase was for servants.
What a great video - you have both given us a beautiful glimpse into the past. I am sure that part of that house must date back to the 1850s! Going by a distant memory of visiting a great uncle's house, I think the doors to that cupboard at the top of the stairs 20:01 was called a dumb waiter - an elevator-cupboard that would send food between floors ( saved the maid from countless trips of walking up and down between the kitchen and dining area on another floor). You both find the most fascinating houses - thank you.
So much history in this one, it was amazing! These era of homes a lot of the times give me the heebie-jeebies, probably from watching to many scary movies 😬, but it is so cool to see the historical stuff like the solid wood doors and the things that are original and in such incredible condition! Enjoyed, thanks!🤘😃🎃✌️
It's so nice to see your video tonight It's so refreshing to see your joyful attitude in your voice... after these 2 days of depression 😪with my mom in the hospital
Hello Ethan this home is absolutely beautiful I love everything in it.I hope they leave it and everything in the basement I hope someone will save it. Thank you for sharing this gorgeous home. Have a great day 😊
I love this house! It looks like they turned it into a triplex. The area where the laundry was would have been the entranceway for the ones upstairs, because you could see where you could close the others off. I think it would’ve been cool to see the whole house before it was divided into apartments. Wonder if they outside had separate staircases to go up? Anyway I love all the wood and the beauty! Those ceilings were insane! Thank you and take care!
Absolutely cool! This house is definitely pre- 1920's. Such solid craftsmanship - when they really built to last! It's historic, and that basement is kinda creepy (I think stone really absorbs energy). It's good to see your respect for each place, but it's so sad to think of all those cool photographs, books, memorabilia getting left to rot. Just like the awesome woodwork, doors, ceilings etc getting torn down 😐
I suspect the house dates early Edwardian (1901-1910) the radiators may have originally been for a coal fired boiler. The wallpaper would indicate that, behind the newer power service. Must have been a large family home before it was changed to suites. The Ceiling in the old Kitchen was I believe, pressed tin. Really sweet old accents everywhere. Reminds me of the house from Home Alone 5, Dead leg the bootleggers country hideaway. Glad you found this one, Ethan
I love that house it is so sad to see beautiful old homes getting torn down, and all the belongings still in the basement very sad!!! Thanks for the video Ethan and company!!
The wood! The pocket doors! The old dining room, with the orange walls, where they bumped out the kitchen, (that's why the light medalian isn't centered) I believe you're right about the basement being older, probably was an older, smaller house there. I prefer to call a 2nd staircase the back stairs, they weren't necessarily for servants, that way in the morning the family could go straight to the kitchen, instead of the whole house. Oh, that silver platter is silver plate, that's why its heavy, base metal, most likely a copper alloy, that's why there's a green strip in it, copper turns green with age. A better silver plate or sterling, would be black without polishing. Yeah, and basements suck lol. Great video again, thanks!
Why isn't a historical society fighting for this house. The pictures and papers in that basement alone should be important. I really liked the tour. Loved the ceilings and doors.
Ethan ..this house was superb , its immaculate...solid quality wood doors...ceilings so cool...loved this one ..excellent 👍..don't build houses like that anymore 🤷♀️...stay safe and well 👍🙏😘
Nice job film this. Basement before 1950 was dirt floors. 1950 they started making basement floors with concrete. In 1950 to 1960 the walls was starting to be made with concrete blocks. Thank you for sharing. This is a awesome home.
Fantastic find! I do wonder why there are so many kitchens... It is a beautiful house and rare to find one with so many original features. I hope somehow it can be saved. It's not like it needs an overhaul. I particularly hate to see a house that was constructed from a time when things weren't prefabricated or thrown up in a quarter (being generous) of the time it actually took to build a house like that. Too bad we can put it in a museum. As always, great job! Take care, stay safe and God bless! xoxo💞Kat
Yes I believe u r right that it might be older. I lived in a house that was way over 100 years old & the basement walls were gravely stone & dirt. Scary, but great place to go for tornados. Had a claw foot tub down there. My dad grow up there & it was very old then. No plumbing or electricity! Grandma cooked on a old wooden stove & the had to bring up water in a bucket to drink & cook with. Laundry was done outside until weather got bad(cold), then the hauled water up from the well & heated it to do laundry once/week, if needed. Same for bathing. They took pride in their workmanship back in those days. Those are hot water radiators. Notice third floor changed to baseboard heaters. They were definitely apartments setup. Great job. Older homes sometime had ceilings made with tin but those ceilings were not originals. Carry on doing a great job discovering & uncovering old treasures. The wood was the BEST in this home!
I love this. It’s got all the same features and architecture that my house has. Mine was built in 1899 so this must be from around that time. The staircase, woodwork, molding, ceilings, and cellar walls look just like mine.
I love this house! I think it may be one of my favs! Thanks for a spectacular tour! The ceiling medallions are very pretty! The whole place is amazing!
The "water heaters" are heat registers. that back staircase was the cook/maid/servant's stairs. They made the master big by knowing a wall down. Those houses if that era had fairly small bedrooms. they obvi made it into apartments, hence the 2nd breaker box. I worked in an 1890's mansion in the Summer in Maine.
Thanks for the gorgeous explore. I loved the features in the ground level, especially that built in china cabinet with the glass door. And the china in the basement with the pictures, so sad it got left h behind. That brown glazed jug with the gold detail took me back to childhood.
Wow what an amazing old house. They certainly don’t make them like that anymore. I could spend hours going through the things in the basement. So interesting. All of the doors and wood moldings and stairs so well made to be in such great shape after at least 100 years. Would be interesting to know about the original owners. Really loved that red wallpaper in the stairs. Wonder if there were any cool things in that old scary barn. Thanks for this fun exploration. Keep safe Ethan.
I really appreciate you showing us the things in this house… I love seeing old history from the homes. Pics, toys, stuff they had in them love this a lot..
Very beautiful house I hate that they will tear it down. When someone could buy it and fix it and live there.... Thank you for sharing your videos stay safe God bless you.
Absolutely awesome!!! Gorgeous old home with a gorgeous old basement!!! Sad that the owner’s haven’t saved their personal pictures & treasured items😰😢😞 In such great shape!!! You can tell that it was lovingly taken great care of, probably in the same family, for all of those years!!! The wood features around & including the doors, windows were in immaculate shape!!! I wish the historical society would render this on its registry & restore it to original for tours or just preservation purpose’s!!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful adventure with us Ethan! I truly loved it!!!👍🙏❤️
Hiya Ethan - Great explore! Yeah... That house looks to have been built between 1900 and about 1920... It's got a lot of "Craftsman" character to it. It's amazing that most of the woodwork is still wearing it's original finish! Those extra kitchens and bathrooms were usually put in during World War II, because a lot of families took in boarders to make up some extra money. There was probably a Wartime Production Plant somewhere near that home, making it a convenient place for a worker to live. Oh... About silver- If you come across some old Sterling, you'll know it when you see it... It usually gets dull and blackens a bit with exposure. Turn the piece over and look for Hallmarks on the bottom... Usually between three to five or more little rectangles stamped into the metal in a row. There'll be tiny pictures like say a lion or other animal in one, a another picture in the next, maybe a letter or two in the next... These told of who/where/when the piece was made. And Sterling items are relatively light in weight. Cheers
I feel the same way, The house needs to be saved Not knocked down. Those kitchen ceilings are absolutely gorgeous. Cooper ceilings I think. I'd make it one house again. Even with the 2 kitchens. 3 floor kitchen would have to go. What a shame. Thank you very much for sharing this gem with us.
3 things that I always like to see people do on these abandon homes videos.... -Checking for electricity -Checking for running water -Opening refrigerators and freezers
Amazing 👏 I'm in awe. I googled Starflex camera and it was one of Kodak 1st cameras and launched in 1957. Thanks for this amazing video and nostalgia ❤️
I love, love, love this home. The memories and the residual energy left behind would be amazing to see, but it saddens me to think that now you have revealed this home that others will come in and vandalize it.
@@flocaine people in the area will recognize the home. It happens alot. Then the little thugs go in and trash the place. I'm not saying it happens every time but it happens.
@@barbaraross1127 sadly Barbara, that’s already happening there, as I live across the street. - I won’t reveal the address either. It’s being broken into almost constantly. I heard glass smashing over there at about 2am last week when I went out for a cigarette. It was occupied until just recently but I never met anyone that lived there so I have no idea what the status of ownership is currently. I do know that everything on THAT side of the street is designated farm land so I doubt it’s going to be “developed”. I’m curious to see what will happen to it as well.
What a beautiful house! Love the pockets doors and the skeleton key doorknobs! Love the wooden stairs they were in great shape! Great video! Also loved the old pictures in the basement t.
I lived in a home built in 1888 in Michigan and it was built by an architect for his family. The whole house was built out of oak and had two staircases just like this one. It wasn't uncommon to have multiple staircases in turn of the century homes, especially the large family homes. I wouldn't assume that everyone had a maid. I do, however, believe that at some point this home was turned into an apartment building...also common with large older homes. No surprises here as far as I can see...it seems very typical to me in so many ways. But I'm glad that you're enjoying it. Also, they boarded it up with particle board rather than plywood; plywood is very expensive vs the particle board.
You know that I most like about this video is you, it reminds me of the excitement in you seeing the 80's Miami Vice style House. That was fun to watch.
My assessment, from experience, is that this house had the surrounding property purchased to develop a new community, but the owners opted to retain the house and immediate yard so that when the neighborhood is built, it will once again be occupied and integrated into the new community. I have seen this countless times, where the house is in fact "on hold" while the new development is constructed around it.
I live across the street from this house. Sadly it’s getting vandalized on an almost daily basis now. Went out for a cigarette last week at about 2am and heard glass smashing over there. Every morning it’s a 50/50 chance the doors will be broken open again. It’s not just vandals, old wooden doors, fixtures, old oak bannisters are worth money so that attracts thieves as well. Also coyotes live in the tree area beside the house. I see/hear them all the time. I did enjoy watching the video, though. It was interesting to finally see the inside.
My grandparents had a house like this with an apartment upstairs that wasn't entirely shut off from the rest of the house. My aunt lived there before she got married when I was a little girl. Many different family members lived in it over the years, including my parents for a summer when they were newlyweds.
BTW, the baby photo... There is no way a baby that age would sit quietly sit still long enough for that photo to be taken. In the Victorian age people took pictures of their deceased relatives, as a rememberance. I couldn't see the baby clearly, so I don't know in that picture. But it might be that.
i've been in my current location for 27yrs.. there's a very old abandoned place down the road from me, have never seen a car, people, nothing, but the porch light has been on day and night for the past 27yrs, and i'll bet anyone a donut it's been on way longer than that... it's so strange 🤔
So sad, somebody's life and memories are going to be lost to vandals. I have already started giving our family memories to our children and grandchildren so our life won't be something to go through and destroyed. Not creepy Ethan, awesome history! Has not been empty long. If I lived in Canada I would do a search for ownership, make an offer and turn the 3rd floor into the master living quarters with some remodel.
A very nice retro mansion all the way.I also wish they would take care of this house and let it live on into the future.This house was built for wealthy families for sure,people with servants and money.Was there a basement are in this house?? Ethan Minnie-thanks for another vintage housetour,stay safe and have a nice weekend.
Ethan you are an old soul. I'm 66 years old and you as I love all these old homes with a lot of character. Yes it could be haunted being that old I'm sure more than 1 has died there. Sorry for all the (old) words. Thanks sweetie.
I absolutely love the way you guys are in hammered with all the old stuff and respecting it and thinking it's gorgeous and cuz it is I think it's great
What a find! Several generations possibly lived there over the years. I would estimate the build date to be late 1880s and was built on to as the family grew and needed more space. They likely had money with many of the details. The tin ceilings! Eventually someone added electricity and indoor plumbing. There are so many treasures. It's horrible it is set to be torn down. The memories those walls hold.
Amazing explore as always! I believe the Paranormal does exist...working in an empty house one summer showed my friend and I that. Creepiest feeling basement I've ever been in. If anyone has ever experienced the feeling of being watched knows what I'm talking about.
I am totally shocked that all that stuff has not been stolen with the door open to basement and lights can be turned on. Very interesting stuff and sad no family kept the pictures. Amazing house❤ ❤️ love it ❤❤ shocking it hasn't been vandalized.

Thank-you Ethan and Terry. Old stuff is so fascinating to me. You two work together well and I'm glad you guys go together for this stuff. I feel safer for both of you when you have someone else with you in these old abandoned places.
I think the two top floors were apartments and that staircase was the entrance/exit/shared laundry room.
Really enjoyed this. I like how you show the entire houses and not just parts.
What a nice house. Looks like it's from about 1900-1910. It looks just like my grade school from 1908, with the square banisters, ornate radiators, and wood trim. Those are tin ceilings-- tin panels stuck over the plaster.

Great house Ethan and wonderful find Terry what a awesome piece of history 👍🇦🇺
Hello Ethan this home is absolutely beautiful I love everything in it.I hope they leave it and everything in the basement I hope someone will save it. Thank you for sharing this gorgeous home. Have a great day 😊
Hello from palm 🌴 springs!
Loved that house!! Way cool!
Thanks for sharing 👍 😊
I love this house! It looks like they turned it into a triplex. The area where the laundry was would have been the entranceway for the ones upstairs, because you could see where you could close the others off. I think it would’ve been cool to see the whole house before it was divided into apartments. Wonder if they outside had separate staircases to go up? Anyway I love all the wood and the beauty! Those ceilings were insane! Thank you and take care!
What's up Ethan?! Wow wow wow ... this house!!!! The WOOD!!! Just beautiful just beautiful ... tfs!!
Absolutely cool! This house is definitely pre- 1920's. Such solid craftsmanship - when they really built to last! It's historic, and that basement is kinda creepy (I think stone really absorbs energy). It's good to see your respect for each place, but it's so sad to think of all those cool photographs, books, memorabilia getting left to rot. Just like the awesome woodwork, doors, ceilings etc getting torn down 😐
I suspect the house dates early Edwardian (1901-1910) the radiators may have originally been for a coal fired boiler. The wallpaper would indicate that, behind the newer power service. Must have been a large family home before it was changed to suites. The Ceiling in the old Kitchen was I believe, pressed tin. Really sweet old accents everywhere. Reminds me of the house from Home Alone 5, Dead leg the bootleggers country hideaway. Glad you found this one, Ethan
I love that house it is so sad to see beautiful old homes getting torn down, and all the belongings still in the basement very sad!!! Thanks for the video Ethan and company!!
The wood! The pocket doors! The old dining room, with the orange walls, where they bumped out the kitchen, (that's why the light medalian isn't centered) I believe you're right about the basement being older, probably was an older, smaller house there. I prefer to call a 2nd staircase the back stairs, they weren't necessarily for servants, that way in the morning the family could go straight to the kitchen, instead of the whole house. Oh, that silver platter is silver plate, that's why its heavy, base metal, most likely a copper alloy, that's why there's a green strip in it, copper turns green with age. A better silver plate or sterling, would be black without polishing. Yeah, and basements suck lol. Great video again, thanks!
Nathan thank you for this tour, that house was amazing!!, the wood work is out of this world, why would they demolish that beautiful house.
Why isn't a historical society fighting for this house. The pictures and papers in that basement alone should be important. I really liked the tour. Loved the ceilings and doors.
I LOVE the enclosed winding staircase!!!!! Made my whole day!! I hope you walk up(or down) them later in the video!
Ethan ..this house was superb , its immaculate...solid quality wood doors...ceilings so cool...loved this one ..excellent 👍..don't build houses like that anymore 🤷♀️...stay safe and well 👍🙏😘
Nice job film this. Basement before 1950 was dirt floors. 1950 they started making basement floors with concrete. In 1950 to 1960 the walls was starting to be made with concrete blocks. Thank you for sharing. This is a awesome home.
Fantastic find! I do wonder why there are so many kitchens... It is a beautiful house and rare to find one with so many original features. I hope somehow it can be saved. It's not like it needs an overhaul. I particularly hate to see a house that was constructed from a time when things weren't prefabricated or thrown up in a quarter (being generous) of the time it actually took to build a house like that. Too bad we can put it in a museum. As always, great job! Take care, stay safe and God bless! xoxo💞Kat
Yes I believe u r right that it might be older. I lived in a house that was way over 100 years old & the basement walls were gravely stone & dirt. Scary, but great place to go for tornados. Had a claw foot tub down there. My dad grow up there & it was very old then. No plumbing or electricity! Grandma cooked on a old wooden stove & the had to bring up water in a bucket to drink & cook with. Laundry was done outside until weather got bad(cold), then the hauled water up from the well & heated it to do laundry once/week, if needed. Same for bathing. They took pride in their workmanship back in those days. Those are hot water radiators. Notice third floor changed to baseboard heaters. They were definitely apartments setup. Great job. Older homes sometime had ceilings made with tin but those ceilings were not originals. Carry on doing a great job discovering & uncovering old treasures. The wood was the BEST in this home!
I love this. It’s got all the same features and architecture that my house has. Mine was built in 1899 so this must be from around that time. The staircase, woodwork, molding, ceilings, and cellar walls look just like mine.
I love this house! I think it may be one of my favs! Thanks for a spectacular tour! The ceiling medallions are very pretty! The whole place is amazing!
The "water heaters" are heat registers. that back staircase was the cook/maid/servant's stairs. They made the master big by knowing a wall down. Those houses if that era had fairly small bedrooms. they obvi made it into apartments, hence the 2nd breaker box. I worked in an 1890's mansion in the Summer in Maine.
Excellent! Thank you for exploring!! I am in awe. Gorgeous 😍
This is the coolest house yet!
A little Arts and Crafts style. The wood work is spectacular!
Thanks for the gorgeous explore. I loved the features in the ground level, especially that built in china cabinet with the glass door. And the china in the basement with the pictures, so sad it got left h behind. That brown glazed jug with the gold detail took me back to childhood.
Wow what an amazing old house. They certainly don’t make them like that anymore. I could spend hours going through the things in the basement. So interesting. All of the doors and wood moldings and stairs so well made to be in such great shape after at least 100 years. Would be interesting to know about the original owners. Really loved that red wallpaper in the stairs. Wonder if there were any cool things in that old scary barn. Thanks for this fun exploration. Keep safe Ethan.
Love this house!!! Nice big rooms, the woodwork is not ruined with paint!! Thanks for taking us along!!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖
That is a beautiful home. It makes me sad that it is being torn down.
Great job Ethan
I really appreciate you showing us the things in this house… I love seeing old history from the homes. Pics, toys, stuff they had in them love this a lot..
Very beautiful house I hate that they will tear it down. When someone could buy it and fix it and live there.... Thank you for sharing your videos stay safe God bless you.
Absolutely awesome!!! Gorgeous old home with a gorgeous old basement!!! Sad that the owner’s haven’t saved their personal pictures & treasured items😰😢😞 In such great shape!!! You can tell that it was lovingly taken great care of, probably in the same family, for all of those years!!! The wood features around & including the doors, windows were in immaculate shape!!! I wish the historical society would render this on its registry & restore it to original for tours or just preservation purpose’s!!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful adventure with us Ethan! I truly loved it!!!👍🙏❤️
Hiya Ethan -
Great explore!
Yeah... That house looks to have been built between 1900 and about 1920... It's got a lot of "Craftsman" character to it.
It's amazing that most of the woodwork is still wearing it's original finish!
Those extra kitchens and bathrooms were usually put in during World War II, because a lot of families took in boarders to make up some extra money.
There was probably a Wartime Production Plant somewhere near that home, making it a convenient place for a worker to live.
Oh... About silver-
If you come across some old Sterling, you'll know it when you see it... It usually gets dull and blackens a bit with exposure.
Turn the piece over and look for Hallmarks on the bottom... Usually between three to five or more little rectangles stamped into the metal in a row.
There'll be tiny pictures like say a lion or other animal in one, a another picture in the next, maybe a letter or two in the next... These told of who/where/when the piece was made.
And Sterling items are relatively light in weight.
Cheers
I feel the same way, The house needs to be saved Not knocked down. Those kitchen ceilings are absolutely gorgeous. Cooper ceilings I think. I'd make it one house again. Even with the 2 kitchens. 3 floor kitchen would have to go. What a shame. Thank you very much for sharing this gem with us.
3 things that I always like to see people do on these abandon homes videos....
-Checking for electricity
-Checking for running water
-Opening refrigerators and freezers
LOVE this awesome house!! I'm with you, idk how they can tear that down just unbelievable. Love, hugs & God Bless you 💕💕
Amazing 👏 I'm in awe. I googled Starflex camera and it was one of Kodak 1st cameras and launched in 1957. Thanks for this amazing video and nostalgia ❤️
I'm surprised how good of shape that house is in. Thanks for the video.
I love, love, love this home. The memories and the residual energy left behind would be amazing to see, but it saddens me to think that now you have revealed this home that others will come in and vandalize it.
How? They don’t know the address
@@flocaine people in the area will recognize the home. It happens alot. Then the little thugs go in and trash the place. I'm not saying it happens every time but it happens.
@@barbaraross1127 sadly Barbara, that’s already happening there, as I live across the street. - I won’t reveal the address either. It’s being broken into almost constantly. I heard glass smashing over there at about 2am last week when I went out for a cigarette. It was occupied until just recently but I never met anyone that lived there so I have no idea what the status of ownership is currently. I do know that everything on THAT side of the street is designated farm land so I doubt it’s going to be “developed”. I’m curious to see what will happen to it as well.
What a beautiful house! Love the pockets doors and the skeleton key doorknobs! Love the wooden stairs they were in great shape! Great video! Also loved the old pictures in the basement t.
I lived in a home built in 1888 in Michigan and it was built by an architect for his family. The whole house was built out of oak and had two staircases just like this one. It wasn't uncommon to have multiple staircases in turn of the century homes, especially the large family homes. I wouldn't assume that everyone had a maid. I do, however, believe that at some point this home was turned into an apartment building...also common with large older homes. No surprises here as far as I can see...it seems very typical to me in so many ways. But I'm glad that you're enjoying it. Also, they boarded it up with particle board rather than plywood; plywood is very expensive vs the particle board.
You know that I most like about this video is you, it reminds me of the excitement in you seeing the 80's Miami Vice style House. That was fun to watch.
What a beautiful home! A little sprucing up and you could live there!
My assessment, from experience, is that this house had the surrounding property purchased to develop a new community, but the owners opted to retain the house and immediate yard so that when the neighborhood is built, it will once again be occupied and integrated into the new community. I have seen this countless times, where the house is in fact "on hold" while the new development is constructed around it.
This would make an excellent art studio!! Love this house!!
I live across the street from this house. Sadly it’s getting vandalized on an almost daily basis now. Went out for a cigarette last week at about 2am and heard glass smashing over there. Every morning it’s a 50/50 chance the doors will be broken open again. It’s not just vandals, old wooden doors, fixtures, old oak bannisters are worth money so that attracts thieves as well. Also coyotes live in the tree area beside the house. I see/hear them all the time. I did enjoy watching the video, though. It was interesting to finally see the inside.
That makes me sad that it is getting vandalized.
My grandparents had a house like this with an apartment upstairs that wasn't entirely shut off from the rest of the house. My aunt lived there before she got married when I was a little girl. Many different family members lived in it over the years, including my parents for a summer when they were newlyweds.
There's GOT to be a legit way to contact the owner and rescue all the good crap inside these joints.
One of my favorite of all the houses you’ve videoed. I just can’t believe that it will be torn down. Such a waste.
Lived in a house in Chicago built in the 20's many similarities. Nice video guys!
What a beautiful house. Thanks for the tour. I hope they don't destroy it. One of a kind
That house looks like it has some historical history ❤️lurking.
Thank You Ethen, for another great adventure !!
I love this era in housing! Love the kitchen and bathroom ceilings!!
BTW, the baby photo... There is no way a baby that age would sit quietly sit still long enough for that photo to be taken. In the Victorian age people took pictures of their deceased relatives, as a rememberance. I couldn't see the baby clearly, so I don't know in that picture. But it might be that.
hi ethan i hope they restore the house a lot of history there.. really enjoy all the houses that found ...keep them coming
i've been in my current location for 27yrs.. there's a very old abandoned place down the road from me, have never seen a car, people, nothing, but the porch light has been on day and night for the past 27yrs, and i'll bet anyone a donut it's been on way longer than that... it's so strange 🤔
I really appreciate you and Terry I live in Pennsylvania and I am checking often for you both to have new videos thank you
So sad, somebody's life and memories are going to be lost to vandals. I have already started giving our family memories to our children and grandchildren so our life won't be something to go through and destroyed.
Not creepy Ethan, awesome history! Has not been empty long. If I lived in Canada I would do a search for ownership, make an offer and turn the 3rd floor into the master living quarters with some remodel.
A very nice retro mansion all the way.I also wish they would take care of this house and let it live on into the future.This house was built for wealthy families for sure,people with servants and money.Was there a basement are in this house??
Ethan Minnie-thanks for another vintage housetour,stay safe and have a nice weekend.
Ethan you are an old soul. I'm 66 years old and you as I love all these old homes with a lot of character. Yes it could be haunted being that old I'm sure more than 1 has died there. Sorry for all the (old) words. Thanks sweetie.
Amazing that just the solid wooden doors are worth a fortune today. Call salvage !
I absolutely love the way you guys are in hammered with all the old stuff and respecting it and thinking it's gorgeous and cuz it is I think it's great
It's older than me. Looks better though. Awesome find.
I loved it. The wood is fabulous
Did I hear right, house scheduled to be torn down? Those ceilings alone, kitchen, bath, Gorgeous..
Great video, even Subscribed..
What a find! Several generations possibly lived there over the years. I would estimate the build date to be late 1880s and was built on to as the family grew and needed more space. They likely had money with many of the details. The tin ceilings! Eventually someone added electricity and indoor plumbing.
There are so many treasures. It's horrible it is set to be torn down. The memories those walls hold.
Wow this is amazing that the power is still on and it been abandoned for a long time
Amazing explore as always! I believe the Paranormal does exist...working in an empty house one summer showed my friend and I that. Creepiest feeling basement I've ever been in. If anyone has ever experienced the feeling of being watched knows what I'm talking about.
Oh wow Ethan I really enjoyed this one keep them coming ❤❤❤ stay safe love ya
I've been to Boldt Castle. Beautiful. Homes were so much more interesting in the past. It is fun to watch you appreciate them. 😊
WOW!!!! I want to move in right now, the place is awesome ❤
I am totally shocked that all that stuff has not been stolen with the door open to basement and lights can be turned on. Very interesting stuff and sad no family kept the pictures. Amazing house❤ ❤️ love it ❤❤ shocking it hasn't been vandalized.
Love this house. Guess someone was going to try to rent out each level but it still has so much potential.
Good 😊 afternoon ❤️🌻🤗, awesome thank you
