Today I am showing to you some more stone ruins that I encountered a few months ago. As you can see from the pictures, not much is left from them. These houses were built in the 1700s. The first house that has not much left but the fireplace and a window sill was built in 1785 and was destroyed by a fire in 1974. An interesting fact about this house was that it had what they called a funeral door. If a household member died in their bed, the staircases were too narrow to get the casket out so they would take them out of the funeral door. Pretty neat information. The second house I could not find a date on but I am sure it was built in the 1700s as well. It is pretty neat seeing that the fireplaces are what hold up the longest it seems. These house are all within a mile of each other also right near the abandoned 1792 house I posted a few weeks ago. As always like, comment, share away. Enjoy and stay tuned for a short video clip of these two places.

That dam was really cool... It is fascinating how with a bunch of oddly cut stones and cement, a whole house can be put together.. 300 years later & walls are still standing
Shame things "progressed" to where we are now....Beautiful structure,architects today should take note,from a time when people understood the nature of things,thanks for taking the time,speaks volumes about the way you see things.
James Vozar the sad thing is i think they would like to go back to this route but it cheaper to build with cheap material and still charge the same amount of money.
steve.the other explorers go in laughing and goofing around.you on the other hand go into these homes with respect.keeping in mind you are a guest.i like your seriousness and proffesinal approach.you are the best.
+cindy stewart Thanks Cindy. I appreciate the comment and glad you enjoy the videos. All of us explorers do things different. I like the more historical approach :)
I agree Steve your method is more mature and that is so refreshing. The voice is soothing and professional. No crazy music is also a plus. Thanks for sharing.
That was neat, I like seeing such old buildings, you can only imagine the people living there with kids playing outside, what kind of furniture they had, what they did for income, was certainly a rough life, with the average life span of only 36 years. Middle aged at 18, wow.
I love these old houses you film. I wish someone would have tried to fix and sell them. Such a shame that they just crumble and die along with the history. Thanks for what you do.
There's an old area around where i live in Windsor mill Maryland and there are stone structures from the civil war era it's really awesome also there's a underground area they made for storage which is all stone and this place has the only part of land on the entire world that isn't owned by anyone or company it's an interesting story it's at a place called Gwynn falls leakin park there's also an old mill too and an old bath house and there's a part of the park that has an abandoned road and town which is cool I love old Maryland
There's also a mansion on the property from civil war era as well
Steve, the still photos at the end are superb. Outstanding composition pictorially. The color was crisp and clear and the black and white ones had sensational tonal range and were very moving. These pictures give one time to let the eyes roam over every part and contemplate the long-ago builders and those who lived there through time. Thank you.
milton roberts Thank You so much. Glad you like my photos. I always enjoy taking pictures
Ohhh i love that rock river thingie, so calm , and even tho there are ruins everywhere it still seems calm and relaxing 💖
I love how you give a bit of history of these houses. No one else does that. the history fascinates me. I am a huge history buff so I enjoy that. really enjoy watching your videos Steve.
+Teresa Palmer That is what i always try to do. Thank You
Me too.
where was this magical place ?so enchanting.
Amazing how fast nature reclaims her territory! This was just so amazing. These buildings were all built by hand! Fascinating. Thanks for sharing!
licksnkicks Your welcome. Thanks for watching
What a beautiful video, Steve, what a beautiful place. Wonderful pics too. So many lives lived-those who designed these houses, cut the stones, laid them one by one-all had families, friends, bosses, their own histories. And I'm sure they could not begin to fathom, not in their wildest imaginations, the kind of world in which these structures would still stand three centuries later. Kind of overwhelming.
Thanks again, Steve.
Kittydoc90 Your welcome. It is amazing how they are still standing. Thanks for watching
PURE American History right before our eyes!!! This is why I am a Subscriber to this FINE channel. Thank You Very Much for your time that you have put into these stories. I for one absolutely LOVE it.
Your photographs and videos are amazing. Keep it up, love your channel!
+Dwayne “Loadedaxe” Stimpson Thank you!
very poetic & other worldly as well as informative.Huggs,silky.
beautiful, thank you Abandoned Steve
I bet those houses were beautiful, back in the day.
Am I the only one that had to go to the bathroom after listening to the rushing water part in this video?
Absolutely love it, I love looking at ruins. While stationed in Germany I was fascinated more with the castle/building ruins then the popular castles/buildings. Keep it coming.
Deborah Ann Hawkins-Ahern boy would i love to explore a castle
Reminds me of Riddle State Park in PA
Thank you for taking the time to make this and to do so with such thoughtfulness. With that type of camera, the footage makes it feel as if I am actually there.
Perry Pierce Thank You. That what I am trying to accomplish when filming
I always wondered what the land looked like back then, not just the houses. Its amazing to imagine some places like this could have been lively little villages or something.
irishpenguin13 probably a lot more open without all the trees that are there now.
It's always cool to see an old forgotten structure.
Jason Phillips yes it is, the fun of urbex
As long as it's not A State Park, and you have permission, I bet metal detecting would be fun here.
i would like a stone house so neat an natural
Beautiful ruins & interesting architectural doorway feature...learned something new there! Enjoyable watch...Thank you!
Abandoned UK Thanks my friend
Amazing,sorry lost you for awhile. accidently hit the wrong button and unsubed. finally got an e mail. so I got you back. thank you for this tour I just love the history,and you do a wounderful job.Thank you so much. beautiful scenery.being homebound,I just love going on your treasured journeys with you.Well, alot to catch up on,I'm sure. thanks again Steve.
sissy4259 it happens. Glad to have you back. gotta love youtube!
These are so beautiful. Thank you for doing all this. I've always loved these kind of homes. There's just something beautiful and haunting about them.
Cheryle Kirchner Your welcome. Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for taking the time to go through all the homes for us.
Awesome finds, Steve!
Neat Old ruins! Hopefully they weren't giving you a hard time for being out there. Superb job as always Steve.
AbandonedSC Rangers were giving me the looks. I can understand why though b/c they want to make sure ppl aren't getting hurt.
Wow, these are so fascinating! I thought the funeral door concept was quite interesting compared to the modern world. I wonder how the caskets were lowered out from the upstairs door. Excellent video and camera quality as always, Steve. Hope you have a good Thanksgiving. Ours is in October here in Canada.
***** Thank Tiki. good point about how they got the casket down.
Hi #TikiTrex
How were they lowered? Block and tackle, just like bales of hay from the loft. Sad to frame it that way but the times probably demanded it. Nobody wanted to go to bed up the same stairs their departed relative just came down. Nightmare city. Instead the departed got "lofted" to heaven.
Thanks for the great video. The work that went into this kind of dry stone work is amazing. It's easy to picture a carriage or wagon going over a stretch of road next to the rock wall lining the water course (and that portion is in good if not excellent shape, too).
M.R. Storie Thanks for watching!
Great as always steve. Keep exploring for those of us who can barely leave the house
jgando111278 Thank so much. Glad to provide the videos to you all!
Very very cool.
Exploring history is a amazing way to spend time.
Thanks for sharing
Your welcome. Thanks for watching Pat
Wow. How in the world did you find these structures?! These are amazing! I can always count on you for the most interesting videos! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
sara hillebrandt Thanks sara. I just stumble upon them or I get some tipsters who point them out. Thanks for watching
Wow, nice find. I love finding places like that in the woods. Thanks for the video.
jim ogle Thanks Jim!
Interesting. These remind me of a similar ruin where I live. It was a tiny one room cottage, and all that remains of it is the 4 walls and fireplace.
MrAnimeopera yea the fireplaces always seem to hold up the most.
Beautiful area.......seems very peaceful.....thanks for a great clip....!!
Colleen Jarvis Your welcome and thanks for watching Colleen
Its neat to see a house from the 1700 still standing.
crystal sparks there are quite a few of them around. Not abandoned too
This reminds me of the civil war era place by where I live in Baltimore I will have to film some when my broken leg heals I love exploring
Sorry to hear about your leg! Look forward to your video! Maryland history doesn't get enough attention.
Just want you to know that I really like this video. It was lovely to hear all the birds singing around you. Great atmosphere. and interesting to hear about casket door thing too. . It is fantastic stonework.
That gable with the two fireplaces on that triangular shaped stack has obviously stood the test of time.
Very nice and relaxing man.
Very much appreciated today, THANKS = )
MungoidHen Thank You so much. Glad you enjoyed the footage. That is the new stereo microphone picking up the background noise
That's ok man. I have watched a few of your uploads now and I think they're pretty damn good. I mean, I don't know anything about film making, but all I know is that I really enjoy your uploads. I like the way the whole feeling of the atmosphere comes together, so, yeah, Great work.
All I can say is that I will keep a watchin.
Peace. = )
MungoidHen Thank You
Awesome footage, Steve. I just found some of your posts today on youtube.com as I was searching for footage of abandoned places. Keep 'em coming!
Steve Dahl Awesome. Glad you found me and hope you stick around
That does it. My Christmas present to myself this year is a time machine! I have to see what these places were like when they were new and what the areas around them were like. Though located here in the U.S. these ruins look like they could be from the moors and highlands of England and Scotland. I'm not on Facebook--yet--so it may have been discussed there but I wonder about the stones of the first house: have they just been covered over by nature for the past 40 years or removed to be used elsewhere?
Andrew Brendan i wouldnt mind having a time machine myself!
Moonray Silversky Thanks for the recommendation, Moonray. I'm a voracious reader---at least I would be if I had more time!--and I'm always glad to get a recommendation. Since we're both interested in unoccupied houses you might like 'The Haunting of Hill House" by Shirley Jackson.
Andrew Brendan
Fantastic book Andrew but I'd be a bit cautious in my recommendation. Hill House is a great story but not for the easily frightened. It is after all something of a ghost story. I love the book and the movie and I'd recommend both.
scott cuiso From the 1963 movie:"No one who rented Hill House ever stayed for more than a few days. The dead are not quiet in Hill House". With some trepidation I'm recommending another brilliant mysterious house story but one that is little-known: "The House Next Door", an early novel by Anne Rivers Siddons from 1978. I gave it to a relative who told me she screamed when she read the end! Stephen King said "The House Next Door" was one of the scariet books he ever read.
Moonray Silversky One more recommendation before Steve gets a broom and shoos me off of here! I recently read the ghost story, "Oh, Whistle and I'll Come to You, My Lad" by M.R. Jones. The title is from a 1793 poem and song by Robert Burns and the short story was published in 1904. The story is available for reading on the internet but it's better to read it from a book while you're in a comfortable chair or sitting in bed. I think it's interesting to read ghost stories that were written before motion pictures were made; some would be good on film, some maybe not. I recently found a Bram Stoker sequel to "Dracula"!
I wonder what these old houses would say if they could talk? How many stones would be in this home and who had to gather them in. very interesting. Thank You for sharing.
+keexkwaan Pierce that would be great wouldn't it? One thing I wish I could know. Thanks for watching
Those were Awesome Steve, thanks for posting, I loved the sound of that flowing water, would be cool to make a video of relaxing water falls..
cwb0051 haha i was thinking about that! although it wouldnt fit this channel so well
awesome find Steven, thumbs up for this one for sure!
Moo Cow Thanks my friend!
The door on the side of the house, first or second floor was called a "Coffin door". It was considered bad luck to remove a deceased person from the front or back door of a house back then.
+1916holton Very interesting. Thanks for sharing that
Steve, this has to be one of my all-time favorite videos. And that is no mean feat as you have thousands of great ones. Do you have any more footage of this area? I would so have been happy to live there. From the stone dam to the stone houses all in the lovely woods. Are you at liberty to say where this is located?
Carol Dharkling Thanks Carol. There is another house I did near here that I have on my channel. Check out the 1792 house
Looks like remains from the haunted Summerwind House
Another great video,Thank you for sharing.
queentab25 Thanks so much for watching
Good finding...funeral door is new to me...thank you
asankaw1 same here. I never knew anything existed in that time.
Cool video Steve!!!!!
Thank You!
This just in: perhaps there was or could be an issue with native Amer setting wooden structures on fire just by throwing flamming object on roorf, etc. Much harder with stone structures.
It's too bad the Historical Society in that community hasn't taken an interest in saving these structures from our past. Perhaps you could alert the National Historical Society, to see what could be done. Archaeological students and volunteers who love archaeology could and would participate in the reconstruction of these beautiful structures, with the fallen stones, and then turn the area into a Park.
Are these in Ridley Creek State Park? I took some pictures a few years ago of similar structures alongside the creek.
I just want to say thank you for this and that I enjoy you extra information about the subjects .Also think of the complete use of the local materials to build this place .(Green before Green was invented as a type of building)
Rick Ferrier Your welcome Rick. It amazing to see how things were built a long time ago
theres a few of them in this park. Look for the huge white one with rusted farm equipment outside. just a shell now since the second floor collapsed some years back, but still pretty cool.
JeevesReturns I keep an eye out :)
Very nice…love the photos
***** Thanks so much!
is this in the States?? what's the relative location of these ruins??
+john brown Yes in Pennsylvania
Simply awesome field stone structures! I'm kind of curious where you're from. I've noticed people in certain parts of the Country pronounce 'stone' as 'stune', as well as other words I can't recall at the moment. Your videos are always interesting, far more interesting than any other US abandoned explorer on youtube. Thank you!
52ponybike Thank You and I am from Pennsylvania. Philly region
Awsome video steve!! What a strange way to build a 2 story. They didn't put a ledge for the 2nd story. With that fire it could have stood intact instead of a colapse. All that is left is the stubs of the floor joist in the walls. Wonder what the dam was for? Almost parkland like around that dam, nice and peacefull. They call them 2nd story doors funeral doors down there, yikes.
alibabafurball yep they are funeral doors
Looks Like Wissahickon Creek ...Great Shots-Mon.
very cool!
I really enjoyed this video!
Judithann Barton Thank You so much
Amazing pictures.
Jamie Woodard Thank You
Hi Steve. I really enjoyed the video and the still pictures. I have watched most of your videos and find them to be the best exploration videos on You Tube. All videos and pictures are crystal clear with amazing detail. You must be related to Clint Eastwood.. :) Subscribed. If you don't mind could you tell what make and model camera you are using. It has done a fantastic job detailing everything. Thank you for sharing your videos and pictures. And your time.
Ernie
Dude Thank You Ernie for the kind words. Not related to Clint Eastwood but that would be cool! I use a Nikon DSLR for photos and video. I am currently using a d610
I'd like to use a metal detector around these old places if I could get permission of course.
you should metal detect around thesae buildings
truthy .teller I agree with truthy. Think of all the helpless artifacts and coins that are stuck underground. Unearth them Steve!
How sad!
This the ninth time I've gotten a French add lol
Excuse me, but I was wondering what the music at the end of the video was, can you please give me the name of it?
amazing stuff...what country/general area is this in?
D.K. Kilby I am explore in the state of Pennsylvania
hi steve
I am quite confused about the funeral door. Why would they take a casket upstairs, instead of just bringing the body downstairs?
Jamie Woodard trust me i was confused when I read about it. Wondered the same thing but i guess that was considered to leave the person in the bed
I wonder how long it would of took them to make these houses with what they had to work with back then
2002films Very good question. Probably not as fast as they make todays houses, but that tells you something
Are these the ones in Ridley Creek State Park?
good vid
Richard Wirt Thank You Richard
east coast type of vegetation
+phil tripe you are correct
+Abandoned Steve (Historical - Urbex) your videos are the best of their genre. your respect and history are intriguing and fascinating.
How do you find these places
twilightrose98 going around my area. Lots of places like this
Houses made of stone? Hard, complex work. Any idea why stone chosen rather than timber which appears to have been abundant? Were builders stone masons from Europe by chance?
Laura Cullen i wish i could give you a correct answer on this. I know I have a history expert out there?? Anyone??
Hey Steve , is this in rcsp?
walter Laskoski Yes it is
Where is this?
Flip or Flop
oh my god will one of you guys bye a metal detector 1700s there could be a fortune in coins and so on
Where are these amazing houses?
I have a recorded a song about an abandoned stone house. would you be interested in collaborating on a video? Something lots of ironwork would nice, though I know that's a longshot.
Aw, poor little abandoned Steve sounds like he needs a pal.
Cool
Shouldn't be there do it up and make it safe
damn history haters! lol really nice, even though it is ruins. the river wall was great.
76southernpride Thanks. I like how the the waterfall turned out
Hey Steve, has Hollywood come knocking yet?...............:)
Carolyn Evers haha no hollywood
why not publish these under your own name bro....why the need to hide??
That b/c this channel isn't about me, it about the places I showcase
Repair and move in, me
