  • Check out this Vandal Free 1830 Abandoned Farmhouse!
    Welcome to a New Abandoned Remains adventure. In this video I join my friends Matt & Jess as we explore an Abandoned Farmhouse that was built in 1830 and is completely free of vandalism. Places like this are harder to come by, and having just natural decay makes it very worthy of a video. Some of the unique features we'll see is a massive walk in fireplace, storm windows over the original wooden windows and a basement full of support braces. So come along with us as we see what is left of this vandal free abandoned farmhouse.

    To think that GENERATIONS of families came and left this house, who once called it home. Imagine all the birthday's celebrated, the tears shed, the happy/sad moments shared, all their sucsesses and failures experienced, laughs had, holiday's spent, and possible goodbyes exchanged in that home. It's sad but all things must come to an end sooner or later unfortunatly.

    In the 1970s, I owned a historic home built in 1828. I spent several years restoring it to the 1830 period. Much of its construction is identical to this house other than the wood frame exterior and not stone. The framework on our house used old French frame hand hewn logs from the 1790s. The beams were sagged out like this house, and I used steel expansions in the basement like the ones in your video. Fortunately, a cement floor was installed after its initial construction. The door frames and panels were identical to this house and all were original. The roof still had the original split shingles and then covered with galvanized steel roofing from the late 19th century. The back of the house had a brick extension circa in the late 1830s. We were able to determine the historic process of its modifications by several 19th-century hot air balloon illustrations in our historical museum. Civil War observation hot air balloon cartographers after the war would travel around America from 1866 to 1890, making these low altitude illustrations. Very interesting video!

    That walk in fireplace is what is called a " open hearth" fireplace. The inside was once open to a flue and was used for cooking. To the left appears to be a seperate cooking hole for bread or other items. At one time there probably were different hooks for pots to hang on. The stone floor in front was used to pull coals onto for dutch ovens and other cooking equipment. Look up 18th/19th open hearth cooking and you'll see.

    • @bonniebates185

      “Cooking hole” for bread, commonly called an oven. These old homes had what was called a beehive oven in or next to the large fireplace. That room was the original kitchen.

      The "hook" for pots to cook from were called fireplace cranes. Thats a sin to let a beautiful, hand-made home like that just to be left to rot. My guess for the thickness of the stone walls on that house judging by similar construction features of my 1810 farmhouse would be 22" - 24"

    Makes me wonder how many families and people once called that house home . There were Christmas dinners cooked , homework done , laughter and smiles , tears shed and hugs given . People grew up there and moved away , some must have gotten married and started their own homes somewhere else . People I'd guess reached the end of their lives there and left that way . Now that old house that was no doubt " home" to so many over the years is only an empty house nearing it's own end .

      I think someone was looking to raise it and then move it at one point. There really was not much wall cracking that I could see that would lead to there being any structural issues. Having said that it did look like maybe one of the basement walls collapsed at one point. Hard to say though as they may have been removing that wall so they could back the moving trailer under it, but then you can see some modern bricks in the basement on one wall as well.
      That house has some stories to tell that is for sure and it'd be hard to get it to talk, one would have to look at the property ownership over the years and find some living people that lived in it to unravel it's story.

    when you see a house like this, when it hasn't been trashed by vandals, it is so easy to imagine how beautiful it was back in it's former glory. even before the updates. Because to be honest to have a farmhouse that large and to be able to heat it that efficiently would have been very difficult. the way they designed it with all the fireplaces and the way they were put in tobe efficient, yet not be obtrusive is quite amazing. it breaks my heart to know that a place like that will die a slow death and not be restored. i happen to live in a tiny little 1 room school house that is close to a 150 years old. completely redone of course on the inside, kind of wish that it hadn't been there would be a lot more room lol!

      @@rogersmith7396 i'm sure you're right, but even my house has jacks (not like that one by any means, only one set) and it meets codes. But sometimes you can't put a price on things like that when i comes to restoring something. i know the bank could/would. But i would spend the rest of my life putting a house like that back together and be content doing it if i had the funds. things like that from our past that have so much architectural significance shouldn't be left to rot away. a house like that is a work of art and wonder. a house like that would have be fine in the southern states where winters get to be in the 60's. but this was in the north. where winters can get in the sub zero's the way it was built to keep it warm was amazing and almost unheard of in those days!!! my heart is broken at the thought that it will soon be gone forever..

    Wow, what a find! The house was heated with coal at one time. It might also been used in the fireplaces. There's a coal chute behind the furnace. The kitchen would have been where the big fireplace is. There's a pantry and the entry to the cellar where goods would have been stored is also in the same room. Handy for getting coal from the cellar if it was used for cooking. The upstairs was remodeled when the bathroom was put in. There wouldn't have been a room like what you called the studio. There is no door or front wall. That room would have been part of what later became the bathroom is my guess. A shame it couldn't have been restored. Amazing it wasn't vandalized.

    My name is Shirleyann and I was raised in a two story home built in 1874. I t was originally a farm home, with great ambiance, especially during Holidays. My Dad, EARL, spent years keeping it updated (as much as he could with seven children), and was a wonderful landscaper as well. It is still in use today, having been cut in half (almost) after my Parents sold it when I was 18 years old, and having many changes made to the exterior structure and grounds since then. Many fond memories in that home, in spite of my only brother dying in 1961 while still living in our home.

    What an awesome home. Those walls are so thick that drafts might have come through the windows but not through the walls !!! Just awesome to see a home so well preserved and the way it was constructed, truly a lost art. I am positive the room with the huge fireplace was the place they did their cooking. It is in more of a central spot so the heat would have traveled upstairs much easier and helped to heat the upstairs. The grates in the floor would also have let heat up as well The builtins are beautiful. if the roof was fixed I think the house could be saved. It has to be one of the older houses left in the area for sure. The upstairs bedroom was stenciled and the birds are quails. such a nice feature in an old home.

Amazing that things are still intact!!! This has been a thrill! The shots and music were beautiful! Thank you for sharing this beauty. Before l forget, stencilling was very popular for early houses. There were itinerant artists who’d travel from place to place, getting paid to stencil. Research on old homes will open up a whole world of stencilled walls with some that are very famous.

  • @bulldog6925
    @bulldog6925 2 года назад +38

    The front bedroom and bathroom were most likely originally built as one room. Based on the age of the house, it was probably built without an indoor bathroom, but had an outhouse. Several clues as to my conclusion are (1) the age of the house (2) the narrowness of the two rooms (3) the offset of the windows (4) lack of a closet in the front room. Most likely there was a narrow closet in the offset between the stairs and front wall.
    This is really an interesting exploration! .. and reminds me of the long ago houses of my ancient relatives in upstate New York.

    Most of us can think about our childhood homes and what they meant to us… The meals that were cooked, the Christmases and birthdays that were had, the daily life that was lived, probably with parents and siblings, maybe grandparents,… there is every reason to believe that this house was all those things and more to perhaps multiple families through the decades, and that it played that role in so many lives yet here it lies decaying into the dirt… That is just profoundly sad to me.

    How sad it is to think that this poor old house was once someone's home. It looks like it was warm and comfortable inside at one time. Now sadly, the old place is dead. It does make you wonder who these people were that lived here all those years ago, what happened to them, where they went and why, and where they are now. Are any of them still living or have they all passed on.

Her house was on the side of a mountain which we loved to explore.lots of copperhead in the area. The creek that ran thru her yard was always a adventure. We often found turtles and frogs.

    Amazing that someone spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to put those struts and upgrades to it just to abandon it. I'd love to know the history of those that lived there.

      @@Diffidentone ... Floor jacks are for raising a car. These are called "jack posts" and are for leveling a house / floor. These are what you use to make things straight so you can add new wood to brace the floor. House jacks used for moving a home are much more substantial and are usually set on top of wooden stacks called cribbing. When you reach the right height you slip in a long steel beam, in preparation to support the entire structure with only 2 or 3 beams.

    What a spectacular cooking fireplace with oven, and the original stenciling is a great find! In the attic, that isn't a fireplace but is where two flues come together to one chimney. I used to live in a Pa farmhouse with shingled roof I could see through and when it rained, the shingles swelled up so fast that very little water got in. I used the cooking fireplace a few times and those are generally smoky, not having been built with a smoke shelf.

    Amazing find! Really enjoyed this old farmhouse; they're my favorite. I actually had a Dish Network mini dish like that in 2008, so I don't think it's 90's. Also, the newer stove makes me think this was abandoned between 2004 & 2010. In 12 years with a roof like that, it would decay pretty quickly. What a shame nobody is restoring & enjoying it, but it would be extremely expensive to do, & that floor plan & house size wouldn't make it worth that huge cost to restore. Great video!!

      I think the main is the roof - get a new roof structure in & tiled and then it's mostly hard labor to get every last bit of old plaster etc out & clean everything & get it all dried out. Those floors look solid even if damp right now, apart from the attic level, they are not yet falling apart. So I think it's all completely doable - been there, done that a couple of times in my 82 years already - altho not quite as far gone as this one ! Somebody with good taste had that home, you can tell by the early color schemes that they knew the period of the house & treated it with love. So sad ! I was wondering if the very close roadway means that the property was taken by the state for that purpose. That could be why it's just sitting there doing nothing !

One in the 1920's and the other in the mid 1900's. This one is nearly pristine. It may have been condemned due to the many jackposts in the basement. I enjoyed the little journey through this awesome historic house. Just a thought about the room you called a studio, it may have been set up for homeschooling. I homeschooled my kids in the 90's.
