- Beautiful old farm house with huge holes in the roof. Sadly was moved from town in hopes of being saved but the plans never came too fruition. This old house was built in the mid 19th century around 1855. Lots of incredible old features like the old doors and fireplaces. Really sad but beautiful old home, unfortunately never found a way too basement since the stairs were totally gone. Did make it up too the attic though! Thank you for watching!

I always think about the people who build these magnificent old homes.....those craftsmen are long gone but what they achieved is still around....incredible.
Just a Huge Thank you for exact my thought, the builders gone & house still existing, well in this case, barely;
Not dissing on modern carpenters, but old timers that had no power tools look like pro wrestlers.
I have a bucket of key hole covers and other hardware…I would always take off doors before home demos, just kept them all…That was a decent one on front door. Edit.. gotta love all the huge bedrooms!
Thank you Kappy, because of you, you bring us into this bygone era of unique beautiful homes with amazing craftsmanship, built with pride and loved. You feed our imagination, thank you.
The windows in the upstairs bathroom are magnificent! Imagine soaking in a tub looking at that view! wow! Great find Kappy!
The view from the bathroom was cool, wasn't it?
I can't imagine moving a house that size without modern machinery, must have been a lengthy, massive project. Shame the roof leaked like that must have been beautiful at one time. That one upstairs room was almost perfect while the rest of the house falls down around it. That bathroom though, that view was amazing. Thanks, Kappy
Assuming it was moved in the late 1980s/90s and not the late 1880s/90s, they would have had modern machinery then
@@user-s1o3nr532 Still a huge project
@@user-randi1987 yes indeed whether it was moved on a truck or diss assembled I’m not sure but would’ve been expensive I’d bet!
@@user-randi1987 thank you very much for watching! :)
So sad that someone loved the house so much to spend the money to move it. One can only assume the owner died and the family had no desire to keep it up. A great video and such a beautiful house once loved! Than you..
I would imagine that the large living room with two fireplaces was originally two separate parlors since since there are two arched entrances from the front hallway into that room. This house has a wonderful feel to it. Radiator heat must have been added at some point along with the two bathrooms. And that upstairs bathroom is a gem.
Can’t understand why someone would have this huge house moved and then abandon it. Makes no sense.
Perhaps the owner passed and the person who inherited it was financially unable to care for it. A large house like this requires a lot of money to maintain.
I agree with you Kappy, if the roof would have been replaced that house would be perfect today.
When craftsmanship was an art not just a job!!!
How very true!!!
This was once a grand old house. What a shame. It's last completely now. I love theses once beautiful places. 😍
How in the world did they move a house that big? Laaaaawd! This was definitely a stunning home back in the day. I love the fireplaces in the upstairs bedrooms. Thanks Kappy for another beautiful find! Please be safe. 😊
I wondered that too! I was told it was moved back in the late 80’s to early 90’s. Thank you for watching and the kind words always Melissa! :)
They used a system of logs under the house. As it would roll they would keep shuttling the logs to the keep it moving.
I saw a light house being moved using a similar technique.
In the 1800s they raised whole city blocks in order to plumb under them. They used hydraulic lifts for that. It is amazing what was built back then. How man men labored and died doing it, too.
As someone from a family of housemovers: no problem. Moved much, much bigger buildings than that. It's a simple procedure. Look up Wolf Movers for videos.
So sad to see such a lovely old house treated like this, kind of reminds you of how some old people are treated.
When I was a kid I had a bed like that metal one only it was a full size. And that Attic. It could have been it's own room it was so big. Very nice. Thank you for the tour.
The upstairs bathroom with huge windows was gorgeous!
Fascinating history on this house, I'll bet that whomever paid to move this home must have owned the field it was moved to, probably had plans to live in it. Most likely circumstances prevented that from happening maybe someone died or got sick and couldn't finish the property, sad to see it was left to rot for 40 years. It was a beautiful home at one time and a great layout on lovely open field.
Love to know what happened. Theory seems right though someone got sick/died or couldn't afford to maintain?
Heartbreakingly beautiful. The spacious rooms, even the bathroom, so pleasing. You’re right. If only they’d kept up the roof. Thanks Kappy.
I swear Kappy, one of these days you're gonna go through the floor or stairs. I'm on the edge of my seat sometimes when you walk across soft floors or up decrepit stairs! Aside from that, WHAT a beautiful house!! I would give my eye teeth to have a bedroom like those! So big with such big windows and all that natural light coming in! So sad to see it in such a state.
Virginia has many magnificent abandoned homes. An excellent place to search. This was a very pretty home in it’s day. Lots of historical features in it.
Wonder why. Do folks just walk away for more modernized efficient smaller homes? Magnificent character. Great channel done so well.🌞
I know a VA couple who refused to fix the roof and now it's rotting away...right beside it is another such house.
Omg love this house. Big beautiful rooms. That pulley for the stairs! Another one that just breaks my heart!
I’ve actually witnessed three houses get relocated months apart and it was a sight to be seen. Very cool
It sure is interesting to see a house be moved!!
Curious, which moving company moved the houses?
@@OliveDNorth I’m not sure the name of the business but it took place in Roselle, IL. across from the police station.
The entire town of Osborne, Ohio was moved. My mother lives in one of the relocated houses.
Don't know if anyone commented on the 2nd floor bathroom but what a view. Magnificent. Thanks for the ride along Kappy!
How beautiful! I can only imagine soaking in that tub with that beautiful view. The natural lighting in that bathroom!! Also took my breath away when you stood beside the stairs and showed us the front door, the light coming through the windows around the door was beautiful, what a beautiful entry.. It's such a beautiful home, what a shame. It was cool seeing the old vent fan in the wall where the stove would have been. Thank you Kappy, I take so many favorite aspects of these homes and hold onto them hoping to use them if I get to build a home.
What a beautiful grand house! It must have really been something in its day! Hey Kappy, every time you say"holy cow" I think of my father, he used to say it all the time. Don't hear that phrase any more except from myself. Keep up the good work!
I say it on a daily basis.
@@megfuchs9425 🌞 Same.
@@megfuchs9425I’m another one who says it regularly.
Excellent! Camera work getting better and better. Thank you for this video!
Too kind! Thank you very much for watching! :)
This at one time must have been a grand house.
I am in for a great surprise with this video starting with the entry porch, wow what beauty this must have been. Amazing wood carving, now to watch the video. Thanks in advance of me seeing the wonderful features. Blessings from Maryland
I would have loved to have seen this house when it was new.thanks for taking me on this trip with you.
There is no telling what lives in there besides birds.
What a beautiful, well-built home this was. You're right, if they had kept up the roof it would still be fine. It deserved a metal roof, oh well. The windows in the upstairs bathroom were gorgeous, all the windows and doors in the house were. The porch and entryway, too. Even the attic space was well made, I love attics so thank you for sticking your head up there even though there were vultures. Typical Kappy, "I don't know if I can make it upstairs" and then there he is. Is there anywhere I can look up more info on it, I'd love to know the back story. Thanks again, Kappy!
She was a Grand ole lady back in her day a lot of pride went into building this once beautiful house oh the stories she could tell .
Thankyou for showing us what would have been a super house & very comfortable during it's day. Also thankyou for taking care & looking after yourself.
That's THE biggest window in a bathroom that I've ever seen!
I’m sure when the house was built it didn’t have a bathroom. I think that window was originally in the large hallway between the four bedrooms and probably had a lovely window seat.
@@tammyfriend2189 EXACTLY........my old friend's Victorian apartment was originally a sitting room with a Bay window.. The hall had a large room at the end that had been the original bedroom. Between these rooms was created an awesome bathroom with clawfoot tub old /chained toilet and sink. You had to walk far between these items on a marble flooring. A whole walk in closet could fit in the open spacing. The kitchen was an 'added' section sometime in the 1960's when the house was turned into 3 to floor apartments and a DR's office on the first floor.
What a beautiful old house.. it must have been really grand in it’s day!!
Beautiful old house in a gorgeous area 🏚️♥️
Please don’t stop showing old door knobs and wallpaper! I love them also!😃 Like you and Ruby! Thank you!
Another lost d beauty Kappy! Thanks for what you do.
I always think about what great stories these old homes witnessed during their heyday. Very sad to see them left to ruin.
That front door! Those airy huge bedrooms! And that bathroom! The only thing I wish is that a view of that wonderful tub had appeared! Just a grand old house waiting to crumble and fade into the sunset…
I agree, it's definitely a very beautiful house.
It's definitely unfortunate the roof suffered damage, considering it was moved and it's probably on a very solid foundation.
Nothing looks really new in this magnificent house...wonder how long it's been empty...if only the roofing would not give way...the views...Omagosh.
Hello Kappy, love the big rooms, lots of windows with pull up sashes and a fireplace to boot.f. Can't help feeling a little sad knowing how many memories this home held in it's day. I watched an explore video of an abandoned home couple years back and the attic was full of treasures. I just couldn't believe how many awesome finds were up there. Can't help thinking about the Dogmen hiding in those tree lines back in the distance. Virginia is full of them. Thanks for sharing my friend, love your channel.👍
Have you seen a Dogman? I have been occasionally watching a few channels here on RUclips that discuss the creatures. Very fascinating.
Wait...what???

What a wonderful old home! Such a shame to see it sit in a field to decay! Thank you for getting it on film before it’s totally gone!
Kappy ,,,man you've got it right on target once again buddy
this grand old Southern lady is still gracious in hr old-age
but when she was a young girl,,wow what a looker sh must have been,,,,,,,Ed from Southern Arizona
You picked the perfect time of day to explore. The golden light and the fields and trees gave it an otherworldly feel. Thank you for a great video.
I really like this house, the bathroom large bathtub my favorite. Wonder why the home was moved???
The old neighborhood where it was built was probably being bought up by a development company and was going to be tore down. Someone thought they could save it by moving it and either ran out of money or moved away.
Stunning to see just how many abandoned homes are scattered across the globe. Makes you wonder why
At 9:06… What a beautiful little porch room. It feels like I remember it, like from a past life. If I lived in the area, I might set up a little chair, ottoman and table and go there to just read, write, meditate. My own secret, private place in an old abandoned house. :-)
And those huge bedrooms with the lovely fireplaces! And the upstairs bathroom was amazing. Gorgeous house with a great layout.
A key hole cover, two separate fire places in the same room is a first for me, built in shelves, spacious bedrooms, quite a view from the second floor bathroom. This place must’ve been pretty special for them to relocate it and understandingly so. Thank you Kappy 👍😊
I think the 2 separate fire places in one large entertaining room, has to do with the way they entertained back in the day. I learned this from the elderly people at the country club I worked at. They would invite people over for dinner, and then after dinner the men and women would split up for conversation. The men around one fire place, and the women around another.

@@edwinthompson6510 fascinating
@@edwinthompson6510
Right, that’s exactly what they did at the country club! After dinner, the men sat around the fireplace in the country club upstairs, all smoking cigars and talking politics, and the women sat around the fire place downstairs talking about everyone’s health and families.
As their server, I just made sure they were comfortable, and quietly kept the beverages and pastries replenished!
Ballroom, maybe?
Wow!! I can't believe you made it up those stairs, they looked terrifying. I am always amazed at the number of fireplaces in these beautiful old homes. Great explore Kappy. Thanks and enjoy your weekend :o)
Such a beautiful house what a real shame.
I can imagine just sitting in the living room, or on the porch and just listening to the birds and looking at the scenery. I can feel my blood pressure going down!! Thank you for sharing this! beauty with us!
Dream... would be a dream for me, so much serenity. 🌞✨🌷
That upstairs bathroom was awesome! So much light in the whole house! It would have beautiful in its day. The front entry was grand too!
You’ve shared so many of those metal/enamel kitchen sinks that remind me so much of my childhood that I’d love to have one again. Looks like south central VA maybe? My aunt says she remembers her, my mom, and my third aunt sleeping together in a bed similar to that. Amazing! Thanks for sharing. ❤️
And I love the simple, brick-lined fire places.
Man you could only imagine the history in that place to bad you couldn't find it sooner
It’s springtime & the birds likely have nests in there, & are being protective! That big window in the upstairs bathroom is really cool!
The design of having a central hall that goes from front door to back door was a great solution to ventilation before days of air conditioning. The forerunner of a breezeway, I think.
Love it!! Thank you!
Thank you for watching! :)
Really loved this home, especially that view from the bathroom.
Me too! What an incredible spot too put your bathroom looking out at that view! Thank you for watching! :)
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 Always. You're the very best of the folks who post these kinds of videos. You don't talk excessively trying to create a story about the home or the people who might have lived there, you're respectful, and your honest reactions to birds, bats, and vultures always crack me up. Stay sweet.
Wow. So they spent all that money, time etc to move it, then let it rot away🤔 The details on the front were so pretty. Such large bedrooms. I loved that wallpaper too. Thanks for getting upstairs. Pretty sketchy. I loved that huge window in the upstairs bathroom. What a view
:( This beauty so needed to be restored and loved............
I'm wondering if the house didn't come through the move as well as the movers hoped, rather than it having been moved to a field and then forgotten about. All the interior doors you tried were sticking as if everything was out of true; although it could have been wood swelled and distorted through damp - debris getting caught etc. Just that that's a heck of an investment/project to move it just to leave it.
Lifting a house actually levels it. So unless the new foundation was built off-level, not likely to be the problem.
Thank you Kappy for another most epic adventure!
Thank you for the kind words and watching! :)
What intricate & cool details on & around the front door! Oh I WISH money was no object ! I would go around buying & restoring cool old house that were salvageable ! Not only would I preserve architectural history, but creating local jobs and supporting local businesses would be happening too! Talk about a WIN WIN!! And OF COURSE I would hire you Kappy to shoot “the before” &
“after”! (I better remember to buy one of these big jackpot tickets lol)
Fantastic house! It's hard to believe that it was moved, but if it was, maybe explains the lack of basement stairs! Also, the metal mesh around the fireplace looked modern, could it be that the chimneys were rebuilt or repaired? (they all looked really clean and in great condition)
This is definitely a favorite of mine to see. Beautiful spacious rooms. Great layout. Nice porch. Nice window look all the way to the attic. Besides it decay it is not graffitied or left with junk inside so you can really imagine just how stunning it once was.
That HUGE window in the bathroom. WOW! Nice sized bedrooms. Once the roof gets compromised it is over. A sad demise for a once beautiful home.
Wow the first floor looks terrifying. It really shows that this house is ready to almost cave in. My imagination if free flowing with imagery of how grand this house once was. An era gone by. It's so sad It's beyond saving 😪
Wow. Beautiful big house. Loved the entry. Lost track of how many fireplaces. Some birds, but no vultures!! Lol. Thanks Kappy! ✌️
It's still beautiful. Wow. I still see potential...
Why do people that can stop it let things like this happen? Why aren't these houses saved?
Another awesome old place. At least it appeared that someone was taking some of the better woodwork and the fireplace. The porch rail pile on the porch, and the loosened fireplace, is what gives me that impression. Someone found the perfect spot for a house, then moved their favorite house to the spot. Another wonderful job Kappy! Keep them coming! And thanks for taking me along!
This house was huge and beautiful . 😍
Definitely a “heavenly view” from the upstairs bathroom! 👍🏽❤️
Was very pretty at once. That bathroom on 2nd floor had a fantastic scenery from the window. Attic could have had 2 more bedrooms up there!
Awesome footage, again!!! 🎥
Would have been a neat house if it had been kept up. Also lovely area in the middle of nowhere!
Love this house. A beauty in it's day.thx 4 sharing,
So sad to see it decay. Must of been gorgeous!!
Gorgeous old home in such a sad state. I would love to be able to afford to buy an old home and bring it back to life. 😢
Thank you for taking me alone! Such a shame to see such beauty neglected.
Wow that front door and frame are awesome...wish someone would have taken care of it...bet it was a beauty in her day...sad. Thanks for sharing!!
Hi Kappy
It’s a shame that they loved this house enough to move it but then forgot it
and left it to sit and rot away. This house has plenty of decay. I’m glad you couldn’t
go in that basement, that would have been soo soo creepy. Those steps just
rotted away. This house has sure seen better days. Kappy this is a good explore.
Thank you for sharing it with us. Until next time stay safe and well. I was just
wondering if Ruby is well. We haven’t seen her in a while. She always brightens
up these videos.🏠
Hi Irene, I’m doing just fine 😊 Kappy goes on quite a few work trips to film while I have to work my job back home 😢, I love being in the videos thank you for your concern it means a lot to me❤ hope you’re all well! 💕😊 -Ruby
You made me nervous in this one! Such a beautiful old home, Thanks Kappy
Haha I was nervous in there too! Thank you for watching! :)
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 I've been a fan for a long time. I love your explores . They're so peaceful and you're the best at these💕
Wow! You are quite brave to have gone upstairs in this house! I would never have attempted it!
I like the vulture stepping out of the attic window in the beginning.
Those door knobs with the lock box type must be a Southern thing cuz I have never seen them here up North. Great find as usual Kappy.
I remember those door knobs on our doors when I was a kid. I grew up in an old farm house in southwest Minnesota.
Hi Kappy! What a lovely home this is and once was, every room with a fireplace, all the windows and the green shutters for the windows, thank you for this wonderful urban exploring, always an awesome adventure, can hardly wait for the next video, enjoy your weekend, hello from Orange County, CA 🙂👋🏚️
what an awesome view from your bathtub (or toilet)!!
The view from the bathroom is magnificent
Going through that tall grass I keep thinking ticks, ticks ,ticks snakes!! HaHa
Wow! 1855. It’s so big! It looked to me like a fire had been at the top of that staircase. I loved the wallpaper in the bathroom and the view from there too. Pretty cool.
It's in a beautiful setting. Too sad that the house was left to rot away like this.
It’s so cool that every bedroom had its own fireplace. You’d never see that now days, but I suppose there’s no need for a fireplace every bedroom now.
That upstairs bathroom!!❤️❤️❤️
Oh ,Kappy I don't think those stairs and upstairs are safe. So sad someone had it moved then just let it rot. Thank you for sharing this house with us, it has some beautiful woodwork in it, and that front door is gorgeous.❤️❤️
I wish I was a bird 🐦 I'd live there if I could. Even in her final days she's a heartbreaker.Thank you for another great video
I wonder if this house was ever lived in after it was moved? It obviously had some updating with the radiator heating and electrical outlets. It's not insulated, so a fireplace in every room would have had a hard time keeping it warm, it looks like 2 radiators might have had trouble too. I'm guessing it was moved there with the intention of fixing it up. I didn't notice any 'newer' wiring, and the old ceramic insulators and wiring would have needed replacing 50+ years ago. Thanks Kappy, keep bringing the videos!
I don’t believe it was lived in after the move to be honest! The house was planned as a retirement fixer upper project, like an old car or something but with old age comes other problems and the unforeseen circumstances of life!
Thank you very much for watching! :)
It would be my dream to redo a house like this. I love watching your videos. And I am glad you don't take chances on sketchy floors. But I still talk to you and tell you to be careful. ❤️
My favorite house so far
Really sad nobody rescued it before all the water damage. Would be very difficult now. It must have been stunning originally.
such a beautiful house. You always find the best ones to visit and give us a tour of them. The hardware and doors to the fireplaces. i wish it had been refurbished. such a quiet place, thank you for the tour. lean on God
I like how you find the oldest houses, liked to have seen this one in its day.
I belive the basement stairs weren't reinstalled when the house was moved.
Nice tour! 👍👍
