Beautiful homes with beautiful surroundings punctuated by beautiful bird song 💖 Thanks for another lovely explore, I really enjoy the background history to these homes too and appreciate the time and care you put into researching local records. Cheers Ubex Indigo! 👍
🌟Oh my gosh absolutly love it my grandmother was born in 1913 and she would have lived in a classic home like that she would tell me stories and to see this beautiful gem brings back so many memories of old photos she showed me. I would have loved to lived back in those days. Brings a bit of a tear 💧but happy tears. I love always love stepping back in time with the history. Thank you so much again 😊❤️🤗:-)
You are so welcome Megan. Yep Your Gran would have grown up in a classic old home for sure. Love thinking back of these homes all filled with the old furniture and wood stoves cooking away. Cheers for watching :-)
The cottage was cute, but I loved the beachside bungalow and its features. Perfect distance for a quick dip or early morning run. Just Imagine how many people in the past have sat in that bay window watching the sunset with a glass of wine in hand.
It's so cool seeing the differences in the way they're built and the kitchens and bathrooms than here in the US.Very glad to see they are salvaging the wood and mantles.The birds were quiet noisy 😁👍🇺🇸❤️
This second house looks like it was in AMAZING condition before salvage had been started and i would live in it in a HEARTBEAT. It looks so nice whats left!!
The first house made me think back to the house my grandmother lived in. The inside of her house was rough stone and I remember her calcimiming the walls. Also She never had a fridge just an icechest . He laundry was a leanto and she just used a copper and scrubbing board to wash her clothes. So many memories and it makes me feel so lucky That I live in a time with modern electricals. She was a fantastic lady.. Thank you Paul 🤗🤗🤗
With the first house I didn't see any cracks in the walls, or rot. Is this just another example of replacing a beautiful historic old home with 10 unit apts? The house I grew up in Ballard, Seattle was built in 1912. But when my mom had her way in the 70's, even I as a kid knew it was wrong. You would never recognize it. But it's been completely restored and it is selling for 1.3 million (My mom sold it in '85 for 80,000). I could never afford to live in it again...For the 2nd house, it's been so distorted, (maybe my mom lived there too) it's hard to tell what it looked like. But if they are taking all of the hardwood floors out, are they really leaving all of the stain glass? Thank you for your videos!! I know - long comment, but you had two houses.😺
Goodness this place brought memories back! Me and ex rented a iron clad place in Alberton, the fireplaces were awesome, in a heat wave though we actually had a heat haze in our hallway! The candle's were horizontal almost! Knocked down now as was opposite footy club. 👍Cheers for this.
It was great you were able to video both houses🏘🏚 before being demolished. Both the houses were unique in style, suited to the original eras and rather unusual. Although, sadly the 1913 cottage is being demolished, hopefully the owner will be able to salvage some of the original pieces such as the fireplace surrounds and incorporate in the new build. It also appears that the old beach side bungalow might have been divided into a duplex and some stage. In the kitchen that was a range hood that would have gone over the stove. I really found the explores of two contrasting homes interesting thanks Paul. 😊
Urbex Indigo thanks my friend for sharing this video with about Abandoned the 1913 cottage od Francis and Florence/ plus big beachside Bungalow i notice these homes are never build with a basement they are always built with a dirt floor with a foundation bult around them that is why they are easy to demolish them. in my country the U.S.A. the homes in my country are bullt with a deep basement they call a cellar that is how the homes are built in my country . i really enjoy your channel because it teaches me all about your country and i always enjoy your channel and i can't wait to see your next video and God Bless and thanks again my friend.
That depends largely upon where you are. In the Southeast US, in particular, there are no basements. It makes storage very hard - especially if you’re used to stashing things in a basement! I also lived in a house in New York State that was built on a slab. I loved it - it was built in the late 40s and it featured radiant heat was all hot water that circulated in pipes in that slab! Super cozy in winter since heat rises. I lived in constant fear that something would go wrong with that system - can you imagine them having to jackhammer up your living room floor to fix a rotted, leaking pipe? 😱
Great explores here.... shame they cant be saved, they would need a hell of alot of time and effort +$$ to get them back to their former glory, i guess that's why developers just knock them over and replace it with a "shoe box"... thanks for sharing Cheers MM :)
2 amazing homes!!! I could almost sense what they were like in their hey day!! The bathrooms from the first one was a pt off for me!! Could have never lived there!!! Great video Mr Indigo. Beach front properties are a nixed blessing really!!! salt water versus views.....
Nice old home mate, wow the fisage is pressed metal and not bluestone never seen that before and loved that old green toilet. The second one is very unique, the fire place wow thats awsome two cool explores cheers mate.
I did like the stain glass windows. Range top,is what at some people in the United States call it. I thought I was going to have to wait until next week. To see you,or sort of. I'm glad I checked again 🙈😊
Hello Paul again another great video did you ever find the other half of that round tin can thank you for bringing another great one love from upstate New York
I love your videos and have fallen behind once again. I hope things get better so I can stay current and support you with timely views and likes and comments! This was an interesting one! I always like when you know a bit of the history involved.
97 marion rd looks like a potential explore mate. Sout west of sir donald brabham dr on marion rd south bound. I seen the fenceing in front of it today.
One thing you might never see here in Texas or the States in a old house is the Stain Glass windows or Doors. I work in a Millwork company the makes custom Doors and Windows. The cost to make a stain glass window like the ones you video all the time cost so much that most people will not buy them. For example I did a Custom CAD Stain Glass build on my computer last month for a customer for 15 full size windows and a door with a stain glass arch and side lites and the cost was almost 1/3rd the cost of the home. Just the 15 windows was $65 thousand dollars US and the door cost about $35 thousand dollars US. So to salvage the windows and doors is a must cost wise; and to save your County's legacy.
Nice to hear your in the trade of Millwork Mike and that the old stained glass is still in production although expensive. Just to think all the homes of this era here in Adelaide apart from the very basic workers cottage has some lead light stained glass :-)
At least in the Northeast part if the US, there’s quite a bit of stained glass and leaded glass in houses from the Victorian period up through the 1920s. My first home was built in the early 20s and had a huge front door which was basically a wood frame about 6-9 inches around the 3 sides and about a foot tall in the bottom. The entire center was leaded glass and there were sidelights running full length from top to bottom, also leaded glass. In the living room was a fireplace with bookcases built in on either side up to about shoulder height (well, for me at 5’3”) and stained glass windows above both. There were also stained glass windows high up on one of the side walls in the dining room at either end of that wall, similar to the living room, but without the built ins. There was also a sun porch with functioning windows all along 3 sides that opened for ventilation. At the top of each window was another short, narrow framed section of leaded glass - I think this was leaded because this sunroom was in the front of the house and jutted out from the living room next to the front door and perhaps they wanted it to match the door? The sunlight made beautiful prisms all throughout the sunroom and into the living room at certain times of the day.
I travel around the world best and safest way on Google Earth Maps street view and I can see what the rest of the world looks like from where I live in Southern Oklahoma and one of the many countries I look at and travel on street view is Australia of course and especially in the rural areas and it resembles parts of Oklahoma in some places especially the heat and the old houses on the prairie land, take care all.
Paul, the vents that are close to the ceiling seem to be open to the outside when they are on an exterior wall. Are they? If so then how do you keep bugs out and heat in? I love the second cottage. I cannot imagine leaving such a lovely home across from the sea! I hope they got enough money so they were able to buy another home by the sea. I grew up near the sea and have not been far for my whole life. We are selling our 1802 cape and have found a 1901 (with 50's additions) down South in GA. I am very exciting to be restoring once again. Fingers crossed it all works out. Thank you for another sensitive and wonderful explore. Waving from Maine.
Yes, those vents are usually open to the outside. They are to let noxious gases out that emanate from fireplaces, oil and kerosene heaters of the past. To stop bugs many had copper mesh behind them...but after many years the mesh has usually disintegrated and crumbles away. Today though many people remove the vents or cover them because they aren't needed these days.
Hi Susan :-) yep the vents were used to mainly keep the home cooler in summer. Bugs always climbed in but some folks put mesh over the vents to help stop spiders :-) Your old home sound like a beauty, hope you bring it back nicely. Cheers for watching :-)
Paul, I don't do Socials(Facebook etc.) and I'd love to know where you got that list of residents of Radstock Street Woodville Park. I moved into that street with my Olds in 1949 after living at Alberton, near the Alberton Oval & I attended Port Primary on Grand Junction Road. We used to play cricket & footy out on Radstock Street, and Guy Fawkes night was huge with a communal bonfire on a nearby vacant block. Many, many personal (some painful!) memories in this episode. Thanks heaps!!!
The house with the ocean view had a strange layout. The room you showed that you thought was maybe for the toilet but then you showed the bathroom, I called it the mystery room. Did you ever find the rest of the tabacco tin?
A 'Fitter' now referenced to as a 'Fitter and Machinist' Is an engineering trade encompassing mechanical repairs and fabrication. It's a 4 year apprenticeship.
I have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that in Australia and England the concept of "duplex" houses as a primary abode. Here in the U.S. or in the South there are no duplexes. For sure there are apartment complexes and in my home town now cost of vacant land made the implosion of four plex apartment homes in the last 20 years. But by and large you never see many duplex houses. I would never want someone living that close to me.
But in the early 1900's to about 1940, it was common for a family to build a "mother-in-law" one bedroom apartment over the garage in a lot of houses. The need to take care of the older family members especially the widow "mom" drove many in the 1920's to 1930's during the great depression and the WWII war years in the 1940's to the 1950's to add a apartment over the garage. Here in Texas a add on apartment or room is called a "mother-in-law" apartment.
Yeah quite a common thing here in Adelaide and as I explained, the one I live in I have the hallway half and the door from the hallway to the other rooms were closed over completely dividing the home for privacy. :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 It’s actually quite common in cities in the US as well, but they were generally built as duplexes. You can find the occasional very large house that’s been divided, but most were purposely built as duplexes. They’re sometimes called doubles. They can be a single story, side by side or two story side by side or in a two story building, but each floor is a separate unit and they’re usually duplicates of one another which may not be the case for the other two types.
@@mikehardin1629 Free-standing houses are the most common type here in Adelaide. The US has many split houses...but they seem to be more of an east coast thing. Also many houses (from the 40's to the 60's) have a small detached building at the back that the family lived in while the main house was being built. Many were demolished later, but many were kept and became what we call (at least in Adelaide) a "granny flat" ...this is where we either keep nanna or one of the eldest kids use as a bedroom that is self contained (kitchen, bathroom).
Hi Penny, usually they clear the yard of trees and bushes first before a demolition takes place. It used to have trees by the look on Google maps. Cheers for watching :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 I wondered. TFS. It hurts my heart to see fig, lemon, Mandarin, quince, pomegranate, Apple, etc. trees and other garden plants slashed to the ground. I know how much care went in to them until they bore fruit and how essential that produce was to staying alive. Hurts as much as tearing down the old beauties/homes. You do such an amazing job of preserving history. I love how you are now including overviews, old pictures, real estate pictures, and historical data! That's a lot of work! It all helps to bring the structures to life. Thank you for what you do. Take care and stay safe.
The research is a welcome addition to add to the clip!
The 2nd home was my favorite with the stain glass an ocean view. Thanks for sharing. 🇺🇸
To me that house looks like it could be restored into one big house...that hallway looks beautiful
