- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- Beautiful old historic house built in 1903. Later on in 1917, a large 2nd story porch was added. This was originally home too the town’s doctor and was actually added too the National register of historic places in the 1980’s or 1990’s but sadly has sat vacant for the last 20 years. Hopefully this beautiful historic old house will be saved and restored. Thank you for watching! Hope you enjoyed!
This is the type of home one could reside in as you did all the needed renovations to it..Absolutely Gorgeous.
I love this house..I grew up in a house that looked almost just like this one..in the deep south..S Carolina..Daddy would buy a house that was almost falling down and turn it into a master piece. Sell it and find another one to bring life back into..then we would move again..we probably moved 10 or more times..wow, I had to wipe my eyes with this one..thank you for this video..
Aww JoAnne, what a blessing your Daddy did 💖
@@nicolemarie7684 thank you...
Smart Man !!! Your Father Was 👍
@@debbiegarvick3166 yes he was Debbie, thank you...
JoAnne, Your Daddy was a house flipper in your youth. No such title then, but all the rage now. You probably learned more from him & his methods than most kids do now. The advent of technology steals hands-on learning from current generations. Apprenticeship taught so much that has since been lost. Treasure those memories JoAnne.
BE BLESSED/BLESSED BE.
What a stunning home, would like to see it brought back to it's former glory. it deserves it.
Couldn’t agree more with you!!
They are so pretty
Yes it does deserve it! So beautiful!
A work of art. This is when craftsman really enjoyed doing their job. Not just get it done and get paid. Imagine what it looked like at Christmas??? All the happy and sad times that were shared inside those beautiful walls. Can't wait for more. Thanks Kappy!!!
A real beauty it must have been.
I agree w/ u kappy n every1 that left comments n it's always so ex- citing 2 b ready 2 go on the next 1Thanks Kappy
Yes! My thoughts eggzactly! A big piano with a 7” Christmas 🎄 tree with the whole family gathered with the little kids going about singing 🎄 Christmas 🎄 carols with a big big fire 🔥 going in the fireplace! Wow! So much potential and I hope it gets rehabbed bc it’s just way too majestic and beautiful to not to!!
Just simple single candles in the windows, wreath on the door would be simply amazing.
Love this house. The porches, the windows as you go up stairs and the upstairs room with the wood shelves. This house has so much potential to be spectacular. Thanks for sharing.
I couldn’t agree more! Hopefully can get some renewed interest in the house and have it saved, the town very much would like the house saved! It’s beautiful!
I love old houses I've had one
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 How come you won't accept my request to join on Instagram?
Take care
How in the world is a house that is on the national registry sitting there abandoned? Such a shame it is beautiful
If money & manpower are not available, this is what happens . It’s a sad reality unfortunately
It could be used as a museum.
@@1927su wonder when it was last occupied.
Really! How does this happen? Nobody wanted it? Someone needs to save it.
@@georgiapuppie so sad right!? So many abandoned beautiful homes:(
Can’t believe a historical society will allow this to happen to this grand old lady!😟. So beautiful, if walls could talk!
Unfortunately being on the historical register doesn't mean much really 😶
Absolutely
What makes you think historical societys have tons of ...MONEY??
Judging by the colors on the walls I'd bet this house was last worked on / lived in between 2002-2007. What a beautiful house with so much potential! I just got to the part where you found a date of 2006..I was right on target with the date!
I thought the same thing, colors on the wall are from 2000's. Someone started remodeling and stopped.
I said it before and I will say it again. It’s amazing to me that a young man like you values the beauty of what once was an outstanding beautiful home. I believe that you in a previous life owed a home as the ones you show us today.
Perhaps you video what once was your home.
Cheers y’all.
Great place! That porch was fantastic. Wish they had left at least one mantle so we knew what we missed. I hope that some how this place becomes a restoration project. Thanks, Kappy
Absolutely loved this gorgeous property!!! Sooo very beautiful!!! It makes me sooo very sad that nobody has come in, restored & renovated this place & made it back to the original, pristine property that it once was 😢 it still seemed reasonably structurally sound! I sooo wish that this historic place would be saved & restored 👍🙏❤️ Thank you Kappy for sharing this wonderful adventure with us! I truly loved it ❤️❤️❤️
Historic registry. So, technically it does qualify for special incentives to be restored or saved.
I hope they restore the beauty
This was a HOME RUN !! This was home of status and prestige at one time . So sad to see her sit like this now.....can't believe some stole all the fireplace mantels 😡 !! Each room is special those windows are amazing and those PORCHES 😳 I could live out there !! AMAZING home this type of home and its craftsmanship is a wonder to behold . Great video Kappy as always !!👍👍
Welcome to Arkansas Kappy! Wish you could have seen this place 20 years ago. The fireplace mantels were beautiful. Thank you Kappy for appreciating and showing us your findings. Another most excellent video! Veronica in Arkansas!
Was my first time and I loved it!! Ya have a Beautiful state! Thanks for watching Veronica!! :)
Did you visit it in the past? Any history?
I too live in AR Veronica Morgan. Wish I knew where this one was.
@@tonilyons2274 it looks like the house in Parkdale, Arkansas
Veronica, where is this house? I'm from Pine Bluff. Looks like a few there.
So sad, to see ruins of these great houses. I'm surprised they're not restored; all the hard work that went into building these once beautiful homes. Thanks for sharing!
I’m in awe of this place, plus, No graffiti!! This has got to be in your top 10! I’m ready to move in and fix her up! Great job documenting this gem Kappy!
NO Graffiti ??? That's the least of it for me !!! Why haven't the Vultures stripped this beautiful house bare of all its fancy fixtures ??? Do you realize how much each of those ancient window frames is worth to someone building a custom home ??? It looks like someone already stole the facings on the fireplaces !!! Who is the Legal Owner of this valuable property and why is it apparently left open for Thieves ???
@@JosephKulik2016 exactly! I'm enthralled by this place. Inquiring minds want answers. 😏
Give it time...some jerk will find it
Beautiful.id love to live in this house .
I love this home. I wish the owners hadn't modernized it. I hope it can be saved.
This beautiful house needs to be back to life again
Love this old house 🏚. I wish that they would restore it. They need to since it is on the historical registry. Have a great weekend 😀.
I love this place the stairs,windows,wall paper,and those lovely doors,the big piece.I don't know why the historical society doesn't do something to save this beauty 👍❤️❤️
Right on the cusp of not being restorable. Beautiful place!
Woodwork, fireplaces and even the wallpaper! Lol! Love, love the two story porches!! Absolutely beautiful! Thanks Kappy!! You’re the absolute BEST! Wishing you an awesome weekend! Can’t wait to see the next amazing find and stay safe. 😊
Thank you for watching! This was definitely one of my favorites with the porch! Sits in a very small quiet town around the Mississippi River. Was just beautiful!
I really struggle with houses on the historical registry, but then they are left to ruination. This house deserves love and attention
I’m sure the grants or funding set aside quickly dwindle to who knows where.
What a beautiful old home. I LOVE!!! the three windows going up with the angle of the front stairs. What a statement look. The wallpaper was elegant in its day. And the beautiful soft blue/violet color of one of the rooms. AND, I can't wait for the new episodes from around Vicksburg, MS. I lived in Biloxi (pronounced BuhLUXee). I had cousins that lives in Jackson and Hattiesburg.
What an amazing house. I can’t imagine how much it would cost to build it today! 👍
That house is incredibly beautiful! Wouldn’t it make a perfect wedding venue, private parties, reunions etc!? I thought if a structure was on the National register they had to be maintained? Reckon not. But thank you so much for sharing and I can hardly wait for the next explore❣️
Being on the historical register doesn't mean much really..
@@Trishapurpleprincess I don't think it means much !! The town near me owns a house that JEB STUARTS uncle owned and STUART spent a lot of time there himself . but they would sale it nor fix it up ; and apparently font use it !!?? A SHAME !!
@@kennethking3562 Yeah, my hometown tore down the home of the first governor of this state!🙄😤. Ya know what we got to replace it?……….a parking lot!😡
@@carolthompson9196surprised that it’s not a bank. 😂
I can only imagine how gorgeous this house was in it's prime! I will never, ever understand how something so beautiful can be run down so much........ Looking forward to the last two videos you showed here!
Would be nice to know who presently owns it !!??
@@kennethking3562 Absolutely!!!!
No matter how beautiful; “ things” grow old. Material things never satisfy!
This was a beautiful grand home! It could still be saved! Looking forward to some of the upcoming homes! Thanks
What a Gorgeous house. Thankful on the Nat'l. Register still hope it gets restored.. Know can Not give out location, but was stationed in Arkansas.. Now if I was 100 years younger & had help, would love the challenge of fixing up..
Give me an old home (renovated) over a new home any day. Especially in the South. I miss living there so much it makes me cry. A porch and columns gets me every time! 😭
Just an idea I'd like to share and if anyone can make it a reality, then run with it. A companion program we'll call, " If This House Could Talk " a bit in the style of Henry Louis Gates, Finding Your Roots, only someone researches the original owners and tells their story, with photos from the home's early days, maybe stretching the story through all the owners, ending with the reason for it's current state. Would be a huge undertaking, but I'm sure thousands would watch. Just a thought, love these tours. Thanks Kappy for all your hard work.
Wow, what a stunning house! I just love those stately columns! That house sure did have a mold problem though, gee wilikers! You know, my great Uncle Douglas used to have a side gig called Damp and Dreary Doug's Mold Removal by Sassy Spore Enterprises. He could have cleaned that mold up in a jiffy! Uncle Douglas was taken from us way too soon, due to a fungal infection in his lungs. Rest his soul!
Keep on keeping on Kappy!
That was an awesome home. I would have loved to have lived there
Looks like somewhere along the way they turned into a business or school? This is such a beautiful house. With lots and lots of money this place can still be saved.
Your explorations are really top notch. Thank you. It’s hard, and sad, to believe there are so many abandoned homes.
Awesome place.I love the interesting different colors the rooms were painted,great video as always,thanks Kappy!
Love the porches. To be on the Historical Register and left to fall into disrepair. Breaks my heart. Thank you Kappy.
Thank you for this Kappy! This one…wow! This house I love ❤️ I’d love to live here, it’s so beautiful. I can almost hear the lazy creak of a hammock out on the warm porch, shaded from the sun. With some love and tlc this would be a wonderful home again. I wish… 😌
Now THAT'S a porch for you, Kappy! The fact that the end of the stairs where the curlicues are appears to be marbled is really pretty. The odd brown paneled room looks like a sleeping porch that got added to the rest of the house. The bathtub may have been upturned to keep it from being broken. Those are crazy expensive to refinish!
This is a great video, Kappy! Thanks for showing us this house and your wonderful, contagious enthusiasm. As always, be safe and take care where you step!
I guessed sleeping porch, also!
Thank you for sharing such a Beautiful house! It truly breaks my heart to see them in disrepair. I wish they could be preserved and saved. Being a Southern Belle, I can really appreciate the space and room these old houses have. Not knocking the modern-day tiny house, but definitely these old houses have the Beautiful space for family gatherings of food and fellowship!🥰
Kappy ..Your welcome.. I see the beauty in old homes like that as they might have been so long ago..xx
It must have been glorious back in the day, especially that blue and pink room…it must have been radiant and beautiful. I can picture it.
I hate to see old houses sit empty. I see so much life in this old house. Absolutely Beautiful!!!!
Oh my God, what a beautiful house. I love the color each room is painted!
Wow. Loved that porch and the huge columns. Wallpapers were awesome too! Great house. Hope it gets some love! Thanks Kappy. ✌️
This home is privately owned since at least 2016 by a non profit organization who has have been trying for many years to get funding to restore it. Historical guidelines increase the amount needed when restoring homes on the Historical register. The doctor lived in this home for 30 years before passing in 1945. It was then occupied by his son and daughter-in-law until the mid 1970's. Preserve Arkansas had been trying to raise awareness of this home in the hopes of saving it but with holes in the roof the structure is deteriorating quickly.
Thank you very much for that information. Beautiful home in a beautiful area.
I would buy it if it was for sale.
Then someone needs to lock it up before the destructive kids get in
Love this. Looks like someone started renovating and stopped. It would be a dream to have it restored
That was my thought as well! Like they were attempting to update/ restore not that long ago that paint was in pretty good shape imo , I'm hoping that the fireplace mantels were removed for renovation and are in storage ...
Such a grand ole dame.... sad she was left to this. Thank you for the share .
Thank you for capturing this majestic home. Beautiful bones. Remnants of painter's tape on stairs, modern furniture in front parlor and 'recognizable water heater' reflect efforts @ reno in not TOO distant past. Lack of rot on front and back porch flooring unexpected and a hopeful sign. More ceilings than I'd have guessed look sound as well.
Another beautiful discarded piece of the past. Future generations will never truly understand the awesomeness of these places and the treasures they hold. On another note, was that an uncertain pause in your voice back at the mud room area. It almost seemed like you thought someone might be there. That's why it's always better with one or more with ya to have your back covered Kappy. Stay safe! We need you to be able to keep bringing us great places like this.
Beautiful house. I love the spacious bedrooms in these old homes. I always wanted to buy an old historical home and restore it back to it's beauty, but it was never meant to be. Many of these old homes you can purchase for hardly anything, it's the cost of the restoration. You need deep pockets.
Thanks for showing us this gorgeous house! Love the porch!!
Omg! What a beautiful house! That tree out in the yard was huge! The knobs on the kitchen built ins…what a gorgeous home it must have been! If only I had money…😂 it looks like it was used for offices of some sort possibly…that little porch upstairs that had the magazine rack…that’s like what you see in a Drs office. I’m guessing the reason the tub was flipped over is to get the feet since they were missing…This so bothers me that these places are just forgotten about, especially if they are on the historic register. Thanks Kappy for a great video…no raccoons!😂Hi to Ruby!
I can just imagine the wonderful people who lived there and what lovely gatherings and parties they must have had there. Christmas time, I bet was the best time with the house all decorated inside and out and a big Christmas Tree in the living room with the Fire going in the Fire place. That must have been such a wonderful life.
Every house that you've explored and are going to explore are beautiful !, it's a shame to see them abandoned and rotting away, like a lost soul with no where to go and unloved. But we love them, it would be wonderful if some of them could be restored. Thanks for sharing, your picture stills are beautiful, have a great week. 😊🌹🌻
Amazing! What a place Kappy! I could be happy there forever hanging out on the porch. You would find me there most of the time! Cant wait for more! Thanks for letting me tag along!
Thanks Kappy that house is beautiful you know it was a grand lady in its day.
Id love to restore this house and live here,I love how big the kitchen is,it's such a big house,so beautiful I'd feel like royalty living there 🥰
I love how excited Kappy gets. I think we’re all like 😯 😎 when we see these houses too. The doctors noise was so cool.
This is a beautiful place. Made me want to take a broom and start sweeping and see if I could make the wood shine again. Be careful out there! Thank you for sharing this wonderful place
Thank you for your great video's. I just love seeing those Grand Old Homes. It always surprises me to see how many if these grand homes are just left to decay and fall down. If only the walls could talk what stories they could tell.🇦🇺
Thank you for your videos,like the sounds of the great out door's.
And the old homes never to be lived in again.☮️🎶🎶🐦🌲🌲
Love!!!!! Breaks my heart to see these beautiful old buildings go to ruin 😢
Please, Please let this house be saved & restored;
Why are so many of these beautiful Southern homes abandoned and unloved? This one is magnificent and it would be a travesty to let it fall further into disrepair. So sad. Gill 🇬🇧
Because it is miles and miles from anything , looks ok but is rotten shels of paint and unpractical for modern living - or would you like to carry buckets of water from the well or river 2moles away , or to light candles at night - think !!!!
I enjoy your open and honest appreciation of this place.
what a lovely restoration project this would be!
This is one beautiful place! And it’s in great shape for its age! Can tell someone is slowly renovating it. Love the wrap around porch also. Ty for the tour.
Terrific house. I’m with you on porches. I love them. I hope when decide to settle down you find the perfect old house with some great wrap around porches. I think you’d be the perfect one to bring one of these old beauties back to life. Thanks as always. ❤️
I love that you show all the details of these old places, and you don’t rush though. What a beautiful home.
Thank you!! :)
That house is not beyond salvaging, if done soon!!! Just Beautiful!!!!! They don’t make ‘em like that anymore.
What a magnificent find! From the rooms with beautiful colors that appear to be more recently painted it appears someone was trying to renovate it. I certainly hope that it can be saved. And about that peacock wallpaper: I love it ! Thanks for sharing another great exploration!
Those columns inside look like they were added later as I believe there must have been a bearing wall removed from that location and the columns were put there for support. The side room looked like a waiting room with all the magazines in the rack on the wall. The columns on the front of the house were attached in a strange way looking at the tops of them. Thanks for sharing Kappy....👍
I find it extremely tragic, sad that the history of such a property is not more valued to be able to pass down to worthy ones who do value history. It is amazing. Thanks for sharing. In Joy
This house is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for what you do, I love watching!
That house without a doubt must of been stunning in its heyday!
I loved that you explored it was beautiful with the details, wallpaper and the fireplaces if it was restored I would live there for sure .
Thank you for all you do, and taking us along❤
Hi Kappy 😁This is one spectacular home, love the stairway in a nice curved swirl down to the bottom. I jump for you finding double porches one above and below. A while back I was writing a story about a place to visit in Arkansas,I made up a name and found it on the map, this looks like how I described a house in it.A lot of my stories should become movies this place would be perfect to use. Also you found more gems near the end of your video that some others I can recognize that you’ve also had shown. The style of these old beauties are marvelous works of art .💖✅👍🥰
Beautiful old home that can be saved but probably won't! 😔
Love love love it. Absolute beautiful. Just need someone to bring it back to life again. I know it will take some money, but with it on the national historical list needs to help someone to bring it back to life. Would be worth it.
Hello KAPPY 💜 love from down Under Australia ⛱️🦘. Beautiful home, looks like someone tried keeping up maintenance to a certain degree, by painting the walls as their not flaking off everywhere. The front door knows were they BRASS back in the day that may have needed polishing??? I love wallpaper in old places & the painted rooms, a new family needs to breathe new life in here, fill it full of children & laughter. THANK 🙏 YOU KAPPY FOR SHOWING US ALL THIS STUNNING HOME 😍
Love this! The porches were my favorite. Thanks again for taking us with you to see inside!
Reminds me of a true Southern home! A Jewel in its day!l I love the porch!! Beautiful!!
Love the wall paper in the upstairs hall way and bathroom. They probably flipped the bath tub to get the claw feet off of it, some peoples kids. Also, I really like the ceiling fan on that bid upstairs porch. Sit out there in the evenings and enjoy life. Have a great day
Hi Kappy I really enjoyed this house tour, the downstairs was my favourite part of the house 🏠 loved the design and decor, also I loved the cabinets especially the one in the hall with the glass, it looked beautiful 🤩 brilliant for displaying items. This house had a balcony which would of been very cool. I liked the room where you could display all of the magazines which would be nice. It was cool going upstairs in to the attic to see was their anything interesting up there. 🤔🙋♂️
Love Love this house. I wish I had the money to fix this up! It like whoever lived there last tried to fix it up a bit. Love the new paint colors on the wall. This place could be gorgeous. All these old houses are spectacular. Thank you Kappy!
Oh man...I would've loved to live there...for the porches alone! Thank you Kappy. I love this place!
Same here!! A big porch always sells it for me! Thanks for watching!! :)
What a wonderful lady she was. Still working on holding her head high.
I can only imagine how beautiful it was in its day..
I pray someone restores it..
That is such an awesome home. Much history only if the walls could talk. Thanks for sharing this beautiful home. be safe and well.💜
I really like that you narrow in on the house details like the structural parts and history. A lot of other old house explorers focus too much on the trash and graffiti left behind. 😊
I second that!
This house is amazing. I agree with you on the porch. Would have loved sitting on it in the cool of the evening. Great find Kappy. Thanks for sharing.
Like the built-in and the pull knobs on the drawers.😊👍
Now this has a Classic "Columns Plantation House" design. Looks like the ones in my area of West Tennessee.
Kappy , Thank you for all the content you put here in a respectful way... I love it all.. Kat in Arkansas..
Thank you for watching! Was my first time in Arkansas I loved it! Beautiful state!
I can see in my mind how I would use the rooms downstairs. The area inside front door would be a good reception/sitting area. There aren’t so many rooms that it would be overwhelming. It could be a nice family home again with money and work. Fireplaces and I thought I saw a transom over one of the doors. Great old place.
Absolutely beautiful home. I thought I was the only person in the world who loves door knobs. Stunning.
Such an amazing house. The upstairs porch was just breathtaking. I can see me in this kind of house or you kappy. Thanks again for another magnificent find.
I love this old house thanks for taking me on this explore with you.yall stay safe.
