  • Thanks for watching built sometime between 1850-1860 from what I could find out, lots of pretty architecture still left inside and outside. Huge wraparound front porch in a rural area down south

      Tonya Perry - you have it spot on right. I think the reason we are so attracted to old houses is because of the history. I live in a semi-detached cottage in Sydney Australia, and did research at our land titles office into every person who had owned my house since it was built in 1929. Also through our local library with their resident historian. I traced back to the original land owner in the 1800s, the beginning of white settlement in Australia. I now have a complete history to pass on to future owners.

    GORGEOUS house. I'm pleasantly surprised that something that old has still somehow managed to hold up remarkably well - no collapsed ceiling, walls, or anything of that sort which you'd normally find in other abandoned homes that were made more recently. If it is unclaimed, then I really hope that someone will jump in to save it before it does sustain any kind of significant damage. For it's age and condition, it's a real gem!

    Oh what a house plan to duplicate, the entry foyer was unique with access to the parlor on right and living room on left with a possible access to the dining room. There were other rooms on 1st level which is questionable what they were used for. A kitchen/pantry/food storage as well as an area for washing laundry could have been in another building close to house (by now torn down) and managed by servants, cooks, maids. On the property there had to be a well (source of water for bathing and cooking). The out house (toilet) after so many years may have been torn down. Love the layout of the second level with the enormous hall way and the front porch was such a beauty. I have to look at this video one more time. Thanks Kappy for sharing.

I don’t know about the kitchen but they may never have put a bathroom in. They may have still had an outhouse. This is a very early house. The massive fireplaces help give the age away. I would bet any money that those are all original paint colours. Except for the windows, everything looks as it would have looked originally. The mantel place trim was very simple and primitive. This house is so beautiful in its simplicity and the setting is a dream.

Lanterns hanging on the veranda, ballgowns swirling around on an al fresco dance floor. Ladies sipping punch & gents making eyes at them, awaiting a chance to talk to the ones they felt keen on. Old folks tucking into a feast while laughing at the youngsters. Thank you so much for sharing this old place that could again look so full of colour & bright lives. If only. If only.

    Great video, Kappy. Wonder where the outhouse and kitchen were located? Interesting to note the place has been rudimentary wiring for electricity. I've also noted that fireplaces evolved from wood to coal burning with stoves. The hearths in some rooms had been closed up with masonry, then a round hole provided for a metal flue to attach to a chimney and iron heating stove (now missing in the house).
    Coal became available for heating as railroads spread in the post Civil War reconstruction era in the South in the 1870's. It was cleaner and took less effort to use than wood.

I love the colors of the fireplaces and woodwork in the bedrooms. They would have called them just that, the yellow bedroom, the green bedroom, ect. The summer kitchen I could see out back. Probably no indoor plumbing so this house hasn’t been occupied for quite a long time. Looks like there was a small balcony upstairs because it looks like a door opening in the center rather than a window. That would have topped off the beauty of the front of the house with that exquisite front porch! Excellent find and video Kappy!! Thanks and stay safe out there!!

    Don't want to nitpick, but to me that architecture looks more like around 1880's. Or it may have started out earlier as an Italianate house and then they added that porch and Queen Anne Victorian details at a later date, around 1880 to 1900.

    I like looking at these old houses and imagining how they looked originally. It’s easy to romanticize how neat it would be to live in them, but they were not built for modern comfort.
    Growing up, my neighbor friend had an old house like many of these and I have to tell you, it was miserable to live in. It was either cold or hot. High ceilings helped in the summer, but they closed off most of the house in the winter and lived in a small area that they could somewhat keep warm. It was drafty, creaky, inconvenient, and had lots of issues. They would have had to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to make it comfortable to live in.
    Newer home designs benefit from advances in technology and building practices. These old houses may have workmanship that you rarely find in newer homes, but there is a trade off. I would not want to live in most of these old homes, even if renovated. Nice to look at but, I like my central heat and air, modern kitchenand baths and if you’re going to make the old home over, doesn’t that kind of take away from the reason why these homes seem so charming?
