This place is gorgeous. So many places go to waste and rot to the ground. Yet we have so many people living in tents. Just a shame. Thank you so much BigBanks. Keep on being AWESOME! ✌️
It is very sad that with all the tent cities we have they couldn't use some of these homes to house these people. Some of the homeless could actually get help, or more help than they're getting because they don't have an address to use. That would be a great help for a lot of people. Donations could be useful for bedding, toiletries, warm clothes for cold weather, Food (obviously a kitchen would have to be made safe & usable.
@@deanna-deehiltabidel5124 There are so many comments about the homeless….and you made a good point. The ONLY one that would “work”; donations. But for how long….we know there’s no way the government would run something like that. Sad, but true. 😢 And also to run electric and the such.
Right? Like why cant they let homeless live in some of these homes..just need to turn the electric on n water n they could b living in some of these homes he videos cuz alot of then still have all belongings r still in there n the homeless could use it! Its cRaZy..WiLd! Blows my mind how this world is! Ugh!
@@joshj7012 It likely WAS clickbait, doesn't look like the actual Alamo mansion at all, at least the photographs of it I can find. He doesn't even say what state he's in (Alamo's properties once he had money were all in Arkansas if I recall correctly, the properties when the cult was in another state were *horrific*).

It's not that well-known of a cult, I only know of it because I am an Arkie. If you google "Alamo mansion wedding venue" you'll find an article from the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette showing the front of the actual mansion and talking about its horrid disrepair.
It’s just insane to me how beautiful the first and last house is. And more insane it’s abandoned. How could someone just abandon these beautiful houses?! And the whole yard is just beautiful. I love it. I would fix it up and make it a family home 🫶🏼
For 4.8 Mil you can buy it, it was built in 1910, so after the purchase price, expect lots of fixing before it can be brought up to code, and livable again.
@@toothlesstheenderdragon8536 Well at least THAT one was on the market at some point, so if someone wanted it they could have it. Some places are locked up tight on purpose. It's not my place to judge what someone does with what belongs to them.
When I seen all of that stuff packed in the newspaper, I was hoping that you would check on the date. It would be cool to know what year it was abandoned. It sure is beautiful houses. That main one is amazing! The smaller ones are really nice places as well. I am surprised at what good shape that they all are in. It really is a shame that they are empty. Could you imagine all of the people that could live there together!
I posted the same thing in another video of his. The house had many magazines. It would have been interesting to find out what type of magazines and the dates.
This stately Georgian Colonial was erected in local brick in 1910 so as to maximize views of its elongated Hudson River shoreline and distant prospects of the Berkshire Mountains. Wedding Present Farm (73± acres) is set amongst a string of storied Manor Houses and River Estate Farms south of Albany that articulated life for prominent families. It borders conserved land including the 330 acre working farm at its northern border. It and its Manor House were once owned by the notable lawyer, merchant and agronomist Edward Townsent Reed. The Hudson River House with Cupola at southern border was owned by the proprietor of Knickerbocker Ice. The house proudly displays classical architecture in over-sized and high-ceilinged Public Rooms admitting light at both ends, centered on delicately carved fireplaces and enjoying oak floors. Exterior Porched Entrances are of classical Grecian styling and columned iteration, either with hand-carved volutes or Corinthian capitals. The River Doorway, Foyer and Staircase are of an equal prominence as the Front Entrance. The bookcased Living Room (29'x 17') yields through french doors on each side of the carved fireplace to a large columned South Porch with a brick breastworked fireplace that connects to the Postern. Above it, a large roofed Terrace is accessed by french doors from a Bed Room. The Dining Room (29'x 17') is expressed by high paneled wainscotting, a carved fireplace mantel and oak floors. The adjoining Kitchen Dining Room ((19'x 17') is fireplaced and is open to the Kitchen (24'x 12') and Butler's Pantry with marble countertops. Second story Bed Rooms, Baths and hallways are amply proportioned. The Master Bed Room is 31'x 17'. The Third Story Ball Room (40'x25') has two facing fireplaces and wide board floors. Ancient and stately specimen deciduous and nondeciduous trees grace the grounds, including the massive tuliptree near the South Porch. Ancillary dwellings include a 3400 s.f. Tudor-styled Guest House and two other three bedroomed Guest Houses. These are supported by three barns, garages and fields. The long elegant and gated gravel driveway is curvilinear and penetrates Entrance Woods from River Road, is graced by two naturally delineated Entrance Ponds and meanders through woods past set piece Guest Houses and Carriage Barns to an utterly private Wedding Present Farm. An inground Pool and Shelter are north of the Main House North Porch. A long serpentine driveway descends from the house to the steel bridge over the Bennekill tributary of the Hudson to the 42 acre Shad Island included in the estate, comprised of woods, fields, trails and extended Hudson River frontage. It directly faces on the Hudson River eastern shore the pristine wooded shoreline of the 1052 acre Schodack Island State Park and Boat Launch. Wedding Present Farm is handy to Albany, the NYS Throughway, the Mass Pike, skiing, and numerous shore Towns. Wedding Present Farm was erected as a summer home by Edward & Martha V. A. (Van Antwerp) Easton, on land conveyed as a wedding present by neighbor and close friend Edward Townsend Reed in 1907. Reed and Easton were prominent Albany attorneys, Yale men and mercantilists, Reed in seed; Easton as a lumber baron. Martha's son-in-law Ten Eyck Powell, upon marriage to her daughter Kate V.A. Easton, joined the household and they raised their family there. Ten Eyck Powell was scion of the original Coeymans family, which owned Powell & Minnock Brick Co., which later exclusively supplied all the brick to Co-op City and at whose yard the 145th Street Bridge was assembled.
@@daveoelke857 he copy and pasted it frm the real estate listing. stil, very good work, but the lisitng isnt showing th esame building thats in the video

Anytime I see videos like this, it really hits hard how fast time goes by and how things can change in an instant. It's sad in ways but it's life so have to cherish every moment. I wonder if anyone who has lived in any of these homes youve been to has seen your videos! That'd be something.
@@kyleweakley4812 this is the place ..1550 river rd ,comes up same listing … they tried to sell for 4,800,000 in 17 , dropped to 2.9 mill now .. wish I had the bread lol .. some exec or politician from Albany or something abandoned the place ..
This is the kind of property I would love to live on with my adult children. Each house having a personality of its own. That would have been amazing in the day.
So sad to see a once magestic home fall to rot. It amazes me what people will leave behind when they vacate a place! Thank you for this fascinating tour.
I didn’t understand the wonderful curiosity of mansions until I started following your channel. Each one has such a finesse of its own. Different vibes and energies and intentions of whomever built it. Thank you for always focussing our attention on the ornate details. Thanks BB and crew! ❤
The “doors like windows” are called French doors. Also, you came in the back door. Front doors on houses like that always face the main staircase. It is ornate and opens on a foyer. Definitely the front door. Thanks for sharing your visit!
Thanks, B.B. I really enjoy your videos. I've just discovered this type of videos recently. So glad I have. I think you're my favorite presenters so far! 🙂
Recently came across this channel and subscribed. I tip my hat to you. You guys have got balls bigger than me. I would never have the guts to enter a strange abandoned house, but also the high quality production is impressive.
The living room: those “windows” are French Doors. The glass door immediately next to it is called a “storm door” or “storm window” which are used in the winter to cut the drafts and cold from the exterior. Typically these are traded for “screen doors” for the summer…so you can keep the French Doors open for a breeze but the screens will keep out the flies and mosquitos
@@BigBankz I really enjoy your videos. I understand that you can’t name the city where these are located but would it be possible to name the state. I’m always curious. I find these homes fascinating but also terribly sad. Thank you for sharing with us.
your videos are awesome. was interesting to see that in the master bedroom, there were still two framed photos of the family and child! i also wonder why anyone who sleeps there wouldn’t choose the bed to sleep on, also leaving valuable items alone. cool 😌
Interesting to see what they left behind the first house was awesome to look at. Love to actually be able to buy a home that's left behind. The claw foot tub is great love it! Dresser is neat looking. Such amazing homes left behind.
Hi BIGBANKZ 🙋🏽. I missed the whole thing ‼️ but I'm watching the replay now ‼️ have a awesome amazing beautiful day 👍🏽😃 . I love this mansion and the first house on the property.❤️
I would love to live way out in the woods and nobody around to bug me lol the mansion is beautiful!!! So sad these places just setting there rotting away!
I used to live not too far from here. It never belonged to a cult. Don't remember it being used as a wedding venue. It was and is still known as Wedding Present Farm. It was for sale but see it's now listed as being off market so maybe it was sold?
@@brynnharris-hamm1321 It's very common for estates to have other homes on the property. Sometimes the original owners would build a small home and live in it while the main house was being built. Often another home/s would be built for the couple's children when they got married. Others could be for caretakers/staff and/or for guests. I think the people that bought the home after it was renovated defaulted on the loan but don't quote me on that. Not sure if that's a rumor or true. I would guess they have the electricity on so the home could be shown after dark and it could be a sort of security thing. Looks like someone is there at night sort of thing. Another thing could be it was sold seeing it's no longer listed. Was listed for $2.9 million which is cheap for that area. The back of this property fronts the interstate/toll road. Here's a little article about it. spotlightnews.com/news/2021/09/09/wedding-present-farm-for-sale-coeymans-estate-linked-to-prominent-families-of-the-past-is-on-the-market/
A bank will keep power on in homes that they reposses... It helps it not decay(even though they usually don't maintain it, to keep up on repairs).@@brynnharris-hamm1321
Great video. I wish you would explore the mechanics of the houses. It's great to see how they heat them and cool them and Also, the electric. Would have been great to see inside the pool house. Thanks for the videos Steve
I've seen large Asian families acquire multiple lots near each other. It's not uncommon for them to live close and run businesses in surrounding communities. It doesn't feel culty to me. Loved the tour!
Your RUclips channel is awesome. I keep watching them and I'm hoping that I could see some old dishes and pots and pans that were made back in the day. Love watching these cool videos.
in great shape and very liveable - someone needs to buy it and live in it - I love the spaciousness and all the windows and the light - the floors are wonderful - what a great place!!!
I was thinking the same thing! The old guys having breakfast at the local diner will know EVERYTHING and be happy to share it all with you 😊 will probably make their day
It's so sad how these beautiful homes going to waste, when there are so many people homeless, they could be used for a rehabilitation centre for the military who are injured, makes me very angry to see these homes just decaying away x
Nooo fuck that..we rather fund proxy wars and fund Ukraine than help the people of these United States.. they don't do shit for us..Republicans or Democrats
I don’t disagree but you must realize these properties belong to someone. Often people inherit and don’t have the funds to fix them. Property taxes often can be barely paid. Using these houses for the uses you mentioned wouldn’t be possible. First some people dream of someday finding the funds so no they may not want to sell. Sometimes wills state they can not sell must always remain in the family. And even if they did want to donate you can’t just let homeless strangers live in your eun down house. Someone could be hurt or killed and the owner would be responsible. How would you even get insurance to protect the tenets or owner? Who would even have the money to fix it up for the suggested uses? No one can just take over someone else property even if it’s falling down
Interestingly, it could have been used for that. It was built in 1910. A lot of large estates and mansions housed wounded militia after World War I so it is possible it was used for that for a while. I don't know, though. That could have been primarily in the UK. Regardless, you're completely right. A waste of good housing and land. Unfortunately it is on the market for $2.9 mil so unless someone buys it and puts it to good use, it will be some rich person or company's little project and the people that actually could use it for good will never get to do so.
This certainly looks like a commune type of community. Almost fifty years ago a number of friends of ours and us wanted to live like this together for when everything went sideways as we would have the support and skills of each of us to help each other out. This never happened though.
You guys should have checked expiration dates on any items in the bathrooms that would have them it would have given you an idea of when they were left
Just came upon your channel and I'm glad to say I'm impressed. That place is impressive. I must ask if you looked for hidden rooms? It seemed like that would have them. And I also like how the place was built opposite of today's architecture. That zebra was actually a pitcher just placed on the vase. The attic was awesome. I love both fireplaces, and I agree with you that the unpainted on was way better
This is the first time I have seen your channel and I loved it! I always wonder what makes people just move and leave a house with so many beautiful things just left behind. The made up bed was kind of creepy and it looks like they left framed pictures of 2 children. Really beautiful architecture!! Fantastic find! Also loved the music!! I subscribed and can't wait to see the next one!
Right I was thinking the samething like is this in another land that we don’t know about looks livable to me lol some stuff is a little creepy but so cool
@BigBankz I want those 2 pink chairs that was in the bedroom..omg! They r beautiful!! N these were in such GrEaT condition! All the houses! Hope they do something with them as well!
That main house is stunning. The last one you went in before the mansion was run down quite a bit. I am surprised a property developer hasn't bought the lot, spent a fair amount doing everything up including the pool and sheds and either on sold it or rented all of them out. If it was done properly, it could be used as a function center or retreat area for wealthy tourists. Be interesting to know how much land goes with those houses. Could also be used as farm stays. If i lived in America, had the money, it would be an interesting property to buy and do up
The first and last house was the best. Last house have some very nice furniture left behind. Shame someone hasn't purchased it. My favorite was the 2 pink chair and sofa in master bedroom. Really enjoyed this tour. Thank you.
Liked the mansion and the 1st house. Never seen a mirrored table before. That's a first for me. Pretty interesting property. Something needs to be done. I hope so too. Take care out there.
The mansion is so amazing. I absolutely love the pink chairs in the master bedroom. This whole property must have been so great to live in it's time. All the space for the kids to play in the yards and probably big get togethers and parties. I do have a question if you are able to answer it. I watch alot of explorer's and when a house is abandoned, does somebody own it? I mean I wouldn't think a property has no owner at all. All land is owned by a person, city, a bank or something, right? If I owned this place, I would try to sell the items inside. Especially all the China and vases it the big room way upstairs.
Nothing exciting to animate about this one though. No cult, just wealthy elderly people who died in the late ‘90s. Place is for sale. It’s right on the Hudson River with ponds etc. it wasn’t a wedding venue either. It was called the ‘Wedding present farm’ because that is what it was, a wedding present, back in the early 1900’s.
@@EleseH I think that it would be worth the $$ & time, & someone with both will snatch this up. I wish I could! But then again, I don't need 3 residences, unless I would make it a b&b or something like that.
You guys are the best, unbelievable how many places you find that could house the homeless, but unfortunately due to greed no one can touch it, am I right saying that??, we have lots of abandoned towns in Australia, but you cant touch them, strange world we are all living in😥, really appreciate your hard work and effort 😊👊 Watching from Cradle Mountain Tasmania Australia here cheers 🍺🍻🍺🍻🇦🇺🇦🇺🤝🇺🇸🇺🇸😎👍✌
Im a new sub!! I absolutely love ur content. The videos go fast bcuz I get really into them. Im going thru a tough time and ur video’s literally help me escape, even if for just mere minutes or an hour… Ty!!😊
No matter what you're going through, the fact that you find a happy escape in a healthy online travel/explore channel= you're doing so much better than you think. you're very important to someone that you don't realize yet, so keep up your amazingness
Would love to have seen these homes when they were first built. It throws it off with the 70's and beyond furniture. Nevertheless, this was a really cool video. I enjoyed it and your style. It moved along nicely and your voice is very calming. Take care & thanks for showin' us around!
Can anyone else hear a voice say hi very softly in the first house as theyre going into 'the den' bit, just after the kitchen and foyer? I've listened over and over with and without headphones and there's definitely a voice.
The windows above the doors inside the house (or front door sometimes) are called “transoms” The dresser and bed set upstairs with the curved top edges are “waterfall” styled from the art deco era. I know you’re always asking and learning terms, which I love about you! So I’m sharing ☺️
Those 'windows that are like doors' are french windows. Beautiful! Love them. The mirrored wall in one of the smaller houses reminds me of exercise rooms in the early 1990s. The size of the room makes me think that's probably what it was. The peachy leather sofas also look like they're from the same time frame, as well as the wall sconces. Same with the black jacuzzi tub and sink. I can totally picture a Patrick Nagel painting hanging in there 😄
The door that opened onto the stairway is the front door. You came in the back door. It looks like it was renovated at some point. They walled in the stairway and added newer windows which is why the original windows open onto secondary windows.
Thank you. I wish these adventurers invested more time in actually learning about architecture, so they could lend more depth their videos. As an architecture buff, it’s super cringe to hear their very silly commentary😅
I love watching exploration videos and can never watch because the camera are too shaky and make me feel sick...FINALLY I have found someone who knows how to keep a camera steady 😃
That mansion appears to be from the 1800s as my folks home was from 1879. The wood craftsmanship, windows and fixtures appear from that period. We had built in bookcases with glass doors.
It would be interesting to get the back story on these properties. Could find out owners, businesses, why abandoned, and etc. What was the cult? And how do you know?
Yeah, I’m kind of confused as to why this isn’t called an abandoned wedding venue video if there’s “no proof” of the cult. Any info on where the speculation came from would be interesting.
That main house is much older but the furniture and interior decorating, and remodeling was from the 1980's, those couches, the piano, the tile floor in the dining area/kitchen and the Vases on the chest of drawers upstairs are definitely late 80's, say 1988. Everything was beige interiors around 1990. 28:35 That's not a dresser, that's an entertainment center somebody used to stack knick nacks and dishes in. The main area with the doors is for the TV, the shelves underneath are for the VCR, Stereo deck, etc... and the sides are for books, VHS tapes, magazines etc. All the peripherals for CRT TV sets were big and bulky back then, so keeping them together and organized helped hide cords and made the room more attractive.
What an interesting and gorgeous. How I would love to able to restore and live there. Absolutely love the classic styling, all of the woodwork and doors and the arched windows. Large but not over the top. Some really nice pieces left behind. It would be really cool to restore all of the homes on the property and have extended family living in each. Love that there are even fireplaces in the attic. I’ll be thinking back on this one, imagining live there in the house’s prime. I really hope this does not get destroyed. I wonder what part of the country it is in. Thanks for sharing this enchanting home!
Amazing place and I loved that you took the time to check out the other homes as well. I love seeing Everything! I don't know if you mentioned it or not, but where is this place located?
The place is gorgeous it is a shame that it's in a bad condition I hope it can be rejuvenated I would love just to visit there I wonder what state this is in
Really interesting piece of property. The houses are all different styles of architecture and from different time periods, which is interesting. I believe the main house was originally just the center brick portion, and the sides are additions. This also explains why the house appears to face backward. Originally what looks like the front door actually was the front door. I'm curious how much of the woodwork is authentic. It appears some of itay have been added. For example, in the entryway, where the paint is peeling, you can see that the wall panels aren't solid wood. Rather, someone installed trim and painted over it to give of the effect of panels. And where the white paint has peeled, it looks like the paint underneath is the same beige as the rest of the walls. This entire property is gorgeous though. It would absolutely beautiful restored. But the amount of work needed to restore the land, pool and all the structures would be astounding.
I agree. It’s pretty obvious to anyone who knows architecture even a tiny bit, that the main house was the center brick part and the rear was added on over the years. Him saying it was ‘Built backwards’ really annoyed me lol but it’s ok, not everyone is good with descriptions, let alone architecture😅
Loved the tour. I found the top floor with the 2 fireplaces to be rather creepy If it was a cult, I suspect that where the group met. I also found the proportion of the main house as being a little odd. The rooms, etc. appeared to be not really in proportion like the master bedroom was not and the kitchen area was not.
The house is lacking in warmth but with a kitchen renovation as well as the bedrooms...it could be much more inviting. Nice wooden flooring. It has lots of natural lighting coming in. Beautiful windows. Didn't see a basement area. I thought the upper attic room was actually quite nice but I liked the natural fireplace too. Could be used as a beautiful bedroom or family room. The master bedroom was an odd shape. Perhaps with a better plan for placing the furniture it would have felt better. The other houses could actually be beautifully upgraded. It's a shame that it's just being abandoned.
I am always fasinated on what is left behind in these videos. The wine bottel next to the radio makes me think they were packing up and having one last depressing drink bc all the money ran out
I always figured that I would have something like this. Meaning a family of homes for my children to be close. I just stumbled upon your page and I'm spending the majority of the day watching your videos. I'm really enjoying them. Can you tell me what state these homes are in?
Building a compound for your children and their families is an odd idea, if the in laws wanted to do the same how would they decide which 'compound' to live in?
@Janet Pendlebury how is this an odd idea? People do it all the time in the South. Having shared acreage where the In-laws or kids can build a home so your still close. I just bought 3 acres with 2 homes on it. I live in one, my daughter lives in the other and if my son wants to build a home on it as well, he's more than welcome to.
It looks like an old farm and house and then more modern homes were built on property. I think families with farms did this a lot of times...an adult child builds their home and on and on. I wish we could do that with our adult kids. I would love for us to all live on the same property.
You're a nice mom..my mother kicked me out at 16 I was never welcomed back into her house..when I lived states away I would only see my family once a year and when I called my mother everyday to talk to her she would say "why do you call so much, your brother lives in the same city as me and he doesn't call as much"... yea my mother wasn't a nice lady..I didn't grow up with a strong sense of family
What if the your in laws felt the same way? both sets of parents wanting their kids and families living next to them? I think kids need to fly the nest and find their own place in the world, mine always have a spare key to my front door, so they (and their partners) can come in whenever they need to .
@@janetpendlebury6808 well, im not demanding anyone live near me, in fact, two of my kids and their families live out of state. But the town i live in was farm land for centuries and a lot of families lived on the same land. I just think its nice if there is that option.
My husband and I always joked about moving into a haunted mansion that was abandoned 😂. It's crazy to see how many gorgeous places are left to rot. So sad.
My take on this property is it all started with the farm style house and as the family accrued more wealth they would bulid nicer homes around the property. Essentially a legacy property. Need to get a topical map of the property and what year each house was built. Courthouse should have all of that. Great video 👍🏼
I am so glad I came across your channel. Very interesting this huge house is absolutely beautiful. I also love how you put a Bible scripture at the beginning

This stately Georgian Colonial was erected in local brick in 1910 so as to maximize views of its elongated Hudson River shoreline and distant prospects of the Berkshire Mountains. Wedding Present Farm (73± acres) is set amongst a string of storied Manor Houses and River Estate Farms south of Albany that articulated life for prominent families. It borders conserved land including the 330 acre working farm at its northern border. It and its Manor House were once owned by the notable lawyer, merchant and agronomist Edward Townsent Reed. The Hudson River House with Cupola at southern border was owned by the proprietor of Knickerbocker Ice.
The house proudly displays classical architecture in over-sized and high-ceilinged Public Rooms admitting light at both ends, centered on delicately carved fireplaces and enjoying oak floors. Exterior Porched Entrances are of classical Grecian styling and columned iteration, either with hand-carved volutes or Corinthian capitals. The River Doorway, Foyer and Staircase are of an equal prominence as the Front Entrance. The bookcased Living Room (29'x 17') yields through french doors on each side of the carved fireplace to a large columned South Porch with a brick breastworked fireplace that connects to the Postern. Above it, a large roofed Terrace is accessed by french doors from a Bed Room. The Dining Room (29'x 17') is expressed by high paneled wainscotting, a carved fireplace mantel and oak floors. The adjoining Kitchen Dining Room ((19'x 17') is fireplaced and is open to the Kitchen (24'x 12') and Butler's Pantry with marble countertops.
Second story Bed Rooms, Baths and hallways are amply proportioned. The Master Bed Room is 31'x 17'. The Third Story Ball Room (40'x25') has two facing fireplaces and wide board floors.
Ancient and stately specimen deciduous and nondeciduous trees grace the grounds, including the massive tuliptree near the South Porch.
Ancillary dwellings include a 3400 s.f. Tudor-styled Guest House and two other three bedroomed Guest Houses. These are supported by three barns, garages and fields. The long elegant and gated gravel driveway is curvilinear and penetrates Entrance Woods from River Road, is graced by two naturally delineated Entrance Ponds and meanders through woods past set piece Guest Houses and Carriage Barns to an utterly private Wedding Present Farm.
An inground Pool and Shelter are north of the Main House North Porch. A long serpentine driveway descends from the house to the steel bridge over the Bennekill tributary of the Hudson to the 42 acre Shad Island included in the estate, comprised of woods, fields, trails and extended Hudson River frontage. It directly faces on the Hudson River eastern shore the pristine wooded shoreline of the 1052 acre Schodack Island State Park and Boat Launch. Wedding Present Farm is handy to Albany, the NYS Throughway, the Mass Pike, skiing, and numerous shore Towns.
Wedding Present Farm was erected as a summer home by Edward & Martha V. A. (Van Antwerp) Easton, on land conveyed as a wedding present by neighbor and close friend Edward Townsend Reed in 1907. Reed and Easton were prominent Albany attorneys, Yale men and mercantilists, Reed in seed; Easton as a lumber baron. Martha's son-in-law Ten Eyck Powell, upon marriage to her daughter Kate V.A. Easton, joined the household and they raised their family there. Ten Eyck Powell was scion of the original Coeymans family, which owned Powell & Minnock Brick Co., which later exclusively supplied all the brick to Co-op City and at whose yard the 145th Street Bridge was assembled.

Wow! You should work for a newspaper! 😊
@@daveoelke857 he copy and pasted it frm the real estate listing. stil, very good work, but the lisitng isnt showing th esame building thats in the video
It really wasn't that hard to find.
@@jasonkeighin9401 It is the same building, just a different side of it is being shown. Look at 5:14 in the video, you will see it's the same building. 1550 River Rd, Coeymans, NY 12045
Anytime I see videos like this, it really hits hard how fast time goes by and how things can change in an instant. It's sad in ways but it's life so have to cherish every moment. I wonder if anyone who has lived in any of these homes youve been to has seen your videos! That'd be something.
These people had to leave in a hurry.
This cult was definitely running from something!
If someone is squatting in there, they're respectful at least! Nothing like a beautifully furnished free mansion :)
@@Sara_Raney That's exactly what I was thinking
Sara great comment, it would be amazing 😊👊🇦🇺🇦🇺
@@kyleweakley4812 this is the place ..1550 river rd ,comes up same listing … they tried to sell for 4,800,000 in 17 , dropped to 2.9 mill now .. wish I had the bread lol .. some exec or politician from Albany or something abandoned the place ..
This is the kind of property I would love to live on with my adult children. Each house having a personality of its own. That would have been amazing in the day.
My mom and I talk about that all the time. It would be so perfect
It's amazing now actually...
We've dreamed of that as well.
weirdly ...
Me too.
I don’t understand why anybody would leave that Beautiful house. It could be a blessing to so many.
💯🙏🏾
the owners should sell it for a reasonable price rather than let it rot. but people are greedy.
Estás en lo correcto
Una casa para tantos necesitados 😢
If you play the game right you can get it , I use to work for lawyers I even know the site on how to get all the info about it
banks take it or people die happens all the time
So sad to see a once magestic home fall to rot. It amazes me what people will leave behind when they vacate a place! Thank you for this fascinating tour.
I didn’t understand the wonderful curiosity of mansions until I started following your channel. Each one has such a finesse of its own. Different vibes and energies and intentions of whomever built it. Thank you for always focussing our attention on the ornate details. Thanks BB and crew! ❤
I love that unmistakable sound of a distant motorway (highway) in the background, also the gloomy overcast weather makes it eerily beautiful.
And you can hear a train in the distance!
@@seanthomas1462 Well spotted, or well eared lol. 👂🏻
The “doors like windows” are called French doors. Also, you came in the back door. Front doors on houses like that always face the main staircase. It is ornate and opens on a foyer. Definitely the front door. Thanks for sharing your visit!
Thanks, B.B. I really enjoy your videos. I've just discovered this type of videos recently. So glad I have. I think you're my favorite presenters so far! 🙂
Recently came across this channel and subscribed. I tip my hat to you. You guys have got balls bigger than me. I would never have the guts to enter a strange abandoned house, but also the high quality production is impressive.
The living room: those “windows” are French Doors. The glass door immediately next to it is called a “storm door” or “storm window” which are used in the winter to cut the drafts and cold from the exterior. Typically these are traded for “screen doors” for the summer…so you can keep the French Doors open for a breeze but the screens will keep out the flies and mosquitos
I'm surprised he knows what a diving board is.
Nice you forgot to check the pictures I the master bathroom
There's no screens though. It's just a glass window
@@jenniferp4612 Of course. In the summer the glass panels are removed and replaced with screen panels the same size!!!
I've watched a few other explorer's videos, but yours really are the best. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us today!
Thank you!!
@@BigBankz I really enjoy your videos. I understand that you can’t name the city where these are located but would it be possible to name the state. I’m always curious. I find these homes fascinating but also terribly sad. Thank you for sharing with us.

Gorgeous mansion! So many pretty pieces of furniture and decor left behind. Looks like a great place to live in seclusion. Great video BigBankz!
Hello Dana how are you doing today
your videos are awesome. was interesting to see that in the master bedroom, there were still two framed photos of the family and child! i also wonder why anyone who sleeps there wouldn’t choose the bed to sleep on, also leaving valuable items alone. cool 😌
Very late 70's, early 80's. Love it. As a kid, lived in a 1980 Parade of homes model (Dutch Colonial) that had those identical intercoms.
It’s so wild to me that so much is destroyed & than other things look as if it hasn’t been touched since the day the place was abandoned.
Liked the architect and design of this home. Great kitchen&baths, beautiful staircase.
Thanks for your time and sharing.
Gorgeous place❤
This was very interesting. Your videos, photography, and drone shots are great. You are improving with every video. The added music was great too.
Interesting to see what they left behind the first house was awesome to look at. Love to actually be able to buy a home that's left behind. The claw foot tub is great love it! Dresser is neat looking. Such amazing homes left behind.
Cannot wait BB✌️Your travels are mind expanding with a picturesque experience like no other.
Hi BIGBANKZ 🙋🏽. I missed the whole thing ‼️ but I'm watching the replay now ‼️ have a awesome amazing beautiful day 👍🏽😃 . I love this mansion and the first house on the property.❤️
Hello Carol how are you doing today
I would love to live way out in the woods and nobody around to bug me lol the mansion is beautiful!!! So sad these places just setting there rotting away!
Hello Linda how are you doing today
Your voice are soft and gentle, it make the stories more smooth , flow and more interesting to watch until the end.
I used to live not too far from here. It never belonged to a cult. Don't remember it being used as a wedding venue. It was and is still known as Wedding Present Farm. It was for sale but see it's now listed as being off market so maybe it was sold?
Where is this??😊
@@justinfieldsfan1598 In Albany County, NY.
Why all the different houses? Why would they abandon and neglect everything but pay to keep the power on? Weird..
@@brynnharris-hamm1321 It's very common for estates to have other homes on the property. Sometimes the original owners would build a small home and live in it while the main house was being built. Often another home/s would be built for the couple's children when they got married. Others could be for caretakers/staff and/or for guests. I think the people that bought the home after it was renovated defaulted on the loan but don't quote me on that. Not sure if that's a rumor or true. I would guess they have the electricity on so the home could be shown after dark and it could be a sort of security thing. Looks like someone is there at night sort of thing. Another thing could be it was sold seeing it's no longer listed. Was listed for $2.9 million which is cheap for that area. The back of this property fronts the interstate/toll road. Here's a little article about it. spotlightnews.com/news/2021/09/09/wedding-present-farm-for-sale-coeymans-estate-linked-to-prominent-families-of-the-past-is-on-the-market/
A bank will keep power on in homes that they reposses... It helps it not decay(even though they usually don't maintain it, to keep up on repairs).@@brynnharris-hamm1321
Great video. I wish you would explore the mechanics of the houses. It's great to see how they heat them and cool them and Also, the electric. Would have been great to see inside the pool house.
Thanks for the videos
Steve
Agreed.
I've seen large Asian families acquire multiple lots near each other. It's not uncommon for them to live close and run businesses in surrounding communities. It doesn't feel culty to me. Loved the tour!
I agree too nice for cults
I very much enjoy your videos. You do well with the historical background of the locations you explore. Keep up the good work. I have become a fan.
Hello Sylvia how are you doing today
Your RUclips channel is awesome. I keep watching them and I'm hoping that I could see some old dishes and pots and pans that were made back in the day. Love watching these cool videos.
in great shape and very liveable - someone needs to buy it and live in it - I love the spaciousness and all the windows and the light - the floors are wonderful - what a great place!!!
Lots of people probably live there. Go to town and find someone old and they will tell you everything about that house.
Lol so true
Hello Sheila how are you doing today
@@stevenanthony199 creeper….
I was thinking the same thing! The old guys having breakfast at the local diner will know EVERYTHING and be happy to share it all with you 😊 will probably make their day
It's so sad how these beautiful homes going to waste, when there are so many people homeless, they could be used for a rehabilitation centre for the military who are injured, makes me very angry to see these homes just decaying away x
Nooo fuck that..we rather fund proxy wars and fund Ukraine than help the people of these United States.. they don't do shit for us..Republicans or Democrats
Waste of beauty there's so many renting or homeless
I don’t disagree but you must realize these properties belong to someone. Often people inherit and don’t have the funds to fix them. Property taxes often can be barely paid. Using these houses for the uses you mentioned wouldn’t be possible. First some people dream of someday finding the funds so no they may not want to sell. Sometimes wills state they can not sell must always remain in the family. And even if they did want to donate you can’t just let homeless strangers live in your eun down house. Someone could be hurt or killed and the owner would be responsible. How would you even get insurance to protect the tenets or owner? Who would even have the money to fix it up for the suggested uses? No one can just take over someone else property even if it’s falling down
Interestingly, it could have been used for that. It was built in 1910. A lot of large estates and mansions housed wounded militia after World War I so it is possible it was used for that for a while. I don't know, though. That could have been primarily in the UK. Regardless, you're completely right. A waste of good housing and land. Unfortunately it is on the market for $2.9 mil so unless someone buys it and puts it to good use, it will be some rich person or company's little project and the people that actually could use it for good will never get to do so.
This certainly looks like a commune type of community. Almost fifty years ago a number of friends of ours and us wanted to live like this together for when everything went sideways as we would have the support and skills of each of us to help each other out. This never happened though.
I love that ideal you had
I know a community that has lived that way for more than thirty years
What state are you in
Commune or big family hut in failing to see the connection to any cult?
Cults have everyone living together. Many homes, buildings, etc. They do this to keep control of the members, think Jim Jones, David Koresh.
old school houses were so beautiful and elegantly built with such detail
You guys should have checked expiration dates on any items in the bathrooms that would have them it would have given you an idea of when they were left
And the newspapers in the pottery room
It's amazing how quickly mother nature starts to take things back after the humans leave and aren't there to beat it back.
Beautiful place! I really liked the master bedroom as well as the one with the gray furniture. Nice stuff! Thanks BB! Another interesting find!
Hello Sherry how are you doing today
Just came upon your channel and I'm glad to say I'm impressed. That place is impressive. I must ask if you looked for hidden rooms? It seemed like that would have them. And I also like how the place was built opposite of today's architecture.
That zebra was actually a pitcher just placed on the vase. The attic was awesome. I love both fireplaces, and I agree with you that the unpainted on was way better
I'm getting The Village vibes. So pretty and spooky at the same time! Thank you for sharing this one!
So much extravaganza yet they up and leave...so much materialism it boggled my mind. Your videos are haunting
This is the first time I have seen your channel and I loved it! I always wonder what makes people just move and leave a house with so many beautiful things just left behind. The made up bed was kind of creepy and it looks like they left framed pictures of 2 children. Really beautiful architecture!! Fantastic find! Also loved the music!! I subscribed and can't wait to see the next one!
Right I was thinking the samething like is this in another land that we don’t know about looks livable to me lol some stuff is a little creepy but so cool
Hello Diane how are you doing today
It would be cool if you could find the previous owners and show video's of when these houses were lived in
Hello Wannawat how are you doing today
@BigBankz I want those 2 pink chairs that was in the bedroom..omg! They r beautiful!! N these were in such GrEaT condition! All the houses! Hope they do something with them as well!
That main house is stunning. The last one you went in before the mansion was run down quite a bit. I am surprised a property developer hasn't bought the lot, spent a fair amount doing everything up including the pool and sheds and either on sold it or rented all of them out. If it was done properly, it could be used as a function center or retreat area for wealthy tourists. Be interesting to know how much land goes with those houses. Could also be used as farm stays. If i lived in America, had the money, it would be an interesting property to buy and do up
The first and last house was the best. Last house have some very nice furniture left behind. Shame someone hasn't purchased it. My favorite was the 2 pink chair and sofa in master bedroom. Really enjoyed this tour. Thank you.
Just started watching. Beautiful wrought iron fence around that pool! I would love to see someone restore/flip the mansion
Hello Betty how are you doing today
Liked the mansion and the 1st house. Never seen a mirrored table before. That's a first for me. Pretty interesting property. Something needs to be done. I hope so too. Take care out there.
The mansion is so amazing. I absolutely love the pink chairs in the master bedroom. This whole property must have been so great to live in it's time. All the space for the kids to play in the yards and probably big get togethers and parties. I do have a question if you are able to answer it. I watch alot of explorer's and when a house is abandoned, does somebody own it? I mean I wouldn't think a property has no owner at all. All land is owned by a person, city, a bank or something, right? If I owned this place, I would try to sell the items inside. Especially all the China and vases it the big room way upstairs.
If the taxes are not paid on the property,, you can just pay the property taxes on it to claim it.
Ok, thank you. I've always wondered. The property taxes are probably so high that a person might as well buy a newer house then.

Hello how are you doing today
@@stevenanthony199creep
You guys should piece together stories of the people who once lived there in an animation or something . What you do is super cool already.
Nothing exciting to animate about this one though. No cult, just wealthy elderly people who died in the late ‘90s. Place is for sale. It’s right on the Hudson River with ponds etc. it wasn’t a wedding venue either. It was called the ‘Wedding present farm’ because that is what it was, a wedding present, back in the early 1900’s.
@@gwengwen4535 I would love to see someone buy it and fix it up. Maybe the state will buy it and turn it into a DDSO home.
@@gwengwen4535 thank you
I agree that it’s strange that there is electricity in an abandoned home. At least no one has totally destroyed it. Looks like a possible fixer upper!
How awesome would it be to fix it up.....hard to believe people can just leave it to rot!
@@karencrook8484 Well you have to think of how much it would cost to fix it up. And the amount of time it would take.
The bank usually pays for electricity
That was shocking to me, that the electricity is on!!
@@EleseH I think that it would be worth the $$ & time, & someone with both will snatch this up. I wish I could! But then again, I don't need 3 residences, unless I would make it a b&b or something like that.
You guys are the best, unbelievable how many places you find that could house the homeless, but unfortunately due to greed no one can touch it, am I right saying that??, we have lots of abandoned towns in Australia, but you cant touch them, strange world we are all living in😥, really appreciate your hard work and effort 😊👊

The windows are called
STORM WINDOWS
Looks like it was rentivated in the 80'
If there's squatters, they have been fairly good to the place.
Hello Sheila how are you doing today
What an awesome area. And it's not to far gone, it can be fix if some one wanted to put the money and time into it. 😊👍
Hello Julie how are you doing today
How bizarre! Lights are on and nobody's home!! Crazy
Can anyone else hear a voice say hi very softly in the first house as theyre going into 'the den' bit, just after the kitchen and foyer? I've listened over and over with and without headphones and there's definitely a voice.
The windows above the doors inside the house (or front door sometimes) are called “transoms”
The dresser and bed set upstairs with the curved top edges are “waterfall” styled from the art deco era.
I know you’re always asking and learning terms, which I love about you! So I’m sharing ☺️
Those 'windows that are like doors' are french windows. Beautiful! Love them. The mirrored wall in one of the smaller houses reminds me of exercise rooms in the early 1990s. The size of the room makes me think that's probably what it was. The peachy leather sofas also look like they're from the same time frame, as well as the wall sconces. Same with the black jacuzzi tub and sink. I can totally picture a Patrick Nagel painting hanging in there 😄
Mirrored accent wall was an 80s& early 90s trend to visually enlarge interior space.
The door that opened onto the stairway is the front door. You came in the back door.
It looks like it was renovated at some point. They walled in the stairway and added newer windows which is why the original windows open onto secondary windows.
Thank you. I wish these adventurers invested more time in actually learning about architecture, so they could lend more depth their videos. As an architecture buff, it’s super cringe to hear their very silly commentary😅
Gotta love old fashioned storm windows on those "doors". Neat house!
I love watching exploration videos and can never watch because the camera are too shaky and make me feel sick...FINALLY I have found someone who knows how to keep a camera steady 😃
Have you tried theProperPeople? They have gotten much better over the years of them filming.
This definitely different, love the different houses and mansion was awesome!!! Awesome find😮
That mansion appears to be from the 1800s as my folks home was from 1879. The wood craftsmanship, windows and fixtures appear from that period. We had built in bookcases with glass doors.
It would be interesting to get the back story on these properties. Could find out owners, businesses, why abandoned, and etc. What was the cult? And how do you know?
They left their Democrat National Convention passes on the counter lol
Speaking of people in a cult...fucking Trumpies...
@@KB-ke3fi
A few years from now, we will see a video titled: “Exploring the abandoned Mar-A-Lago CULT compound!”
😅
Yeah, I’m kind of confused as to why this isn’t called an abandoned wedding venue video if there’s “no proof” of the cult. Any info on where the speculation came from would be interesting.
That main house is much older but the furniture and interior decorating, and remodeling was from the 1980's, those couches, the piano, the tile floor in the dining area/kitchen and the Vases on the chest of drawers upstairs are definitely late 80's, say 1988. Everything was beige interiors around 1990. 28:35 That's not a dresser, that's an entertainment center somebody used to stack knick nacks and dishes in. The main area with the doors is for the TV, the shelves underneath are for the VCR, Stereo deck, etc... and the sides are for books, VHS tapes, magazines etc. All the peripherals for CRT TV sets were big and bulky back then, so keeping them together and organized helped hide cords and made the room more attractive.
Your work is amazing. Thank you for sharing your journey and your artistic gifts 💛
What an interesting and gorgeous. How I would love to able to restore and live there. Absolutely love the classic styling, all of the woodwork and doors and the arched windows. Large but not over the top. Some really nice pieces left behind. It would be really cool to restore all of the homes on the property and have extended family living in each. Love that there are even fireplaces in the attic. I’ll be thinking back on this one, imagining live there in the house’s prime. I really hope this does not get destroyed. I wonder what part of the country it is in. Thanks for sharing this enchanting home!
Amazing place and I loved that you took the time to check out the other homes as well. I love seeing Everything! I don't know if you mentioned it or not, but where is this place located?
The place is gorgeous it is a shame that it's in a bad condition I hope it can be rejuvenated I would love just to visit there I wonder what state this is in
Hello Bobbie how are you doing today
Really interesting piece of property. The houses are all different styles of architecture and from different time periods, which is interesting. I believe the main house was originally just the center brick portion, and the sides are additions. This also explains why the house appears to face backward. Originally what looks like the front door actually was the front door. I'm curious how much of the woodwork is authentic. It appears some of itay have been added. For example, in the entryway, where the paint is peeling, you can see that the wall panels aren't solid wood. Rather, someone installed trim and painted over it to give of the effect of panels. And where the white paint has peeled, it looks like the paint underneath is the same beige as the rest of the walls.
This entire property is gorgeous though. It would absolutely beautiful restored. But the amount of work needed to restore the land, pool and all the structures would be astounding.
I agree. It’s pretty obvious to anyone who knows architecture even a tiny bit, that the main house was the center brick part and the rear was added on over the years. Him saying it was ‘Built backwards’ really annoyed me lol but it’s ok, not everyone is good with descriptions, let alone architecture😅
Loved the tour. I found the top floor with the 2 fireplaces to be rather creepy If it was a cult, I suspect that where the group met. I also found the proportion of the main house as being a little odd. The rooms, etc. appeared to be not really in proportion like the master bedroom was not and the kitchen area was not.
The house is lacking in warmth but with a kitchen renovation as well as the bedrooms...it could be much more inviting. Nice wooden flooring. It has lots of natural lighting coming in. Beautiful windows. Didn't see a basement area. I thought the upper attic room was actually quite nice but I liked the natural fireplace too. Could be used as a beautiful bedroom or family room. The master bedroom was an odd shape. Perhaps with a better plan for placing the furniture it would have felt better. The other houses could actually be beautifully upgraded. It's a shame that it's just being abandoned.
Hello Nancy how are you doing today
Love the video. Breaks my heart, but I still love it. The town hall has public records. 💜😘💜
I am always fasinated on what is left behind in these videos. The wine bottel next to the radio makes me think they were packing up and having one last depressing drink bc all the money ran out
I just love these big ole mansions . I start dreaming of going back in time lol. I was born in wrong era xx
What an absolute beautiful home shame to see it going to waste, with so many homeless people
Hello Robina how are you doing today
I always figured that I would have something like this. Meaning a family of homes for my children to be close. I just stumbled upon your page and I'm spending the majority of the day watching your videos. I'm really enjoying them. Can you tell me what state these homes are in?
Building a compound for your children and their families is an odd idea, if the in laws wanted to do the same how would they decide which 'compound' to live in?
@Janet Pendlebury how is this an odd idea? People do it all the time in the South. Having shared acreage where the In-laws or kids can build a home so your still close. I just bought 3 acres with 2 homes on it. I live in one, my daughter lives in the other and if my son wants to build a home on it as well, he's more than welcome to.
@@juliefrye2808 I am trying to do the exact same thing good to know its not some outlandish idea.
Hello Julie how are you doing today
It was so good to see you.And I loved the mansion.It was so beautiful
@ 23:10 you can see a huge grey square on the wall as if something was there for a while then removed, I wonder if it was another floor length mirror.
It looks like an old farm and house and then more modern homes were built on property. I think families with farms did this a lot of times...an adult child builds their home and on and on. I wish we could do that with our adult kids. I would love for us to all live on the same property.
Too bad, time is a thief..
It robs us all..
You're a nice mom..my mother kicked me out at 16 I was never welcomed back into her house..when I lived states away I would only see my family once a year and when I called my mother everyday to talk to her she would say "why do you call so much, your brother lives in the same city as me and he doesn't call as much"... yea my mother wasn't a nice lady..I didn't grow up with a strong sense of family
What if the your in laws felt the same way? both sets of parents wanting their kids and families living next to them? I think kids need to fly the nest and find their own place in the world, mine always have a spare key to my front door, so they (and their partners) can come in whenever they need to .
@@janetpendlebury6808 well, im not demanding anyone live near me, in fact, two of my kids and their families live out of state. But the town i live in was farm land for centuries and a lot of families lived on the same land. I just think its nice if there is that option.
+Beverly Williams- Your kids wouldn't, THAT's for sure...

Hello Valerie how are you doing today
My husband and I always joked about moving into a haunted mansion that was abandoned 😂. It's crazy to see how many gorgeous places are left to rot. So sad.
You would need 10 roommates to py the utilities in this place. I would take this over a modern mansion any day. Such nice wood work everywhere.
Me too! It's gorgeous. Now taking applications to find roommates 😂 jk
@@chantellepalmer1234 I'm in... I'll be cheffing up 4 egg omelettes in the kitchen for everybody!
My take on this property is it all started with the farm style house and as the family accrued more wealth they would bulid nicer homes around the property. Essentially a legacy property.
Need to get a topical map of the property and what year each house was built. Courthouse should have all of that. Great video 👍🏼
Those two pink chairs in that room were GORGEOUS!!!
That´s insane that these houses are all abandoned !!!
Absolutely beautiful mansion. I would live in the little house. A lot of the times people used wall mirrors to make a space look bigger. ❤
I live in a studio apt so I use mirrors and plants to make it look bigger . this is amazing
Awesome 👏 can't wait to watch 🙂
I love the attic. The unpainted fireplace looks so much better than the painted.
I am so glad I came across your channel. Very interesting this huge house is absolutely beautiful. I also love how you put a Bible scripture at the beginning
The big house doesn't look to have much damage. If it has a good price, it needs to be purchased. The finished attic, this house is amazing.
I LOVE the attic the most! Would like to live in a house like that!
Hello Donna how are you doing today
Wow just beautiful. Imagine the stories…
Wow, this was so interesting to watch, thank you so much, very well narrated
Wedding Present Farm was erected as a summer home by Edward & Martha V. A. (Van Antwerp) Easton, on land conveyed as a wedding present by neighbor and close friend Edward Townsend Reed in 1907. Reed and Easton were prominent Albany attorneys, Yale men and mercantilists, Reed in seed; Easton as a lumber baron
The main house is very nice.
I did see another staircase, next to the kitchen. Maybe from the Master Bedroom.
Thanks for a great video.
What state is this property in?
