Sad Classic Forgotten Southern Farm House w/ General Store Built in 1890 in Alabama
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 фев 2024
- This historic house was built in late 1800’s for a modestly wealthy successful family of farmers. The farm originally had sharecroppers cabins dotting the fields all around but most have since collapsed. They grew all kinds of crops from cotton to sweet potatoes. While also selling and harvesting the timber on there land. The house would remain in the same family for nearly a century. Sadly in the early 1990’s the house was forgotten mostly because of its rural location and the expensive amount of updates and repairs needed. Sadly this old beauty is just slowly fading away. Glad I could document this neat old house on a very rainy gloomy day. Thanks for watching! Like and leave a comment on the video if you enjoyed!

This house is so beautiful! I don’t understand why someone does not restore it. That kind of house would be a dream home for me.
It is so big and roomy..I like this out
Can't we go in the store so we can see if there is anything we want to buy
for me, too. I agree!
Me too! And a shop too…I’d be in heaven!
maybe you could fine out how much it is? I think it would be a beautiful home. Let me know what you find out.
it seems a sin to let such a beautiful old house go to ruin. I love this house.
He never said. Where in Alabama is this house at? I want to look at buying it and fixing it up. Looks like it could be saved.
Completely agreed such a unique beautiful old place! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
If i win the lottery i would restore a place like that it needs to be saved another awesome find kappy
This house definitely has rehab potential.
I would just adore this house! I love that little corner sink to "Warsh up in" after coming inside for dinner! Love the doors! And the porches! What a sweet find. Hope it gets lived in again! 💕
Great point!! Those sinks were really neat! Especially the one in the upstairs bedroom! So bizarre! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
That house can be repaired. So gorgeous

Agreed! Thank you very much for watching! :)
I absolutely love the REAL rain sounds from your videos!!! What a beautiful place from back in the day. Soon they will all be gone.❤
Definitely real on this one!😅 Was pouring that day! Thank you for watching! :)
Kappy thanks again for letting us walk with you through these beautiful old homes…decades gone by…..
Much appreciated! Thank you for watching!! :)
How refreshing to visit a house that has not been vandalized. The wallpaper in the second room that you visited resembled the wallpaper in my grandparents living room; it brought back memories. Lots of interesting detail, too much too list. Thanks for another great explore, although I feel guilty sitting in my comfortable house while Kappy is out in the cold and rain.
Haha yeah was definitely a good day for being comfortable inside but oh well! Rain adds a nice ambiance lol! Thank you for the kind words and watching!! :)
I love this old house! One of my favs. Too bad we couldn't see inside the Gerneral Store..
That's what I was going to say too about the general store would have liked to see it too. Anna In Ohio
@@buckeyedav1 sadly was all locked up strangely enough! Should’ve filmed me trying the doors, sorry about that! I do have one coming up like this with a general store attached I am able to go inside! Thank you for watching! :)
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 Awesome! Looking forward to it. Thanks for the videos ♡
What an elegant old house, nothing fancy but very nicely laid out. The doors, windows and porches are charming. I can imagine it full of life in its heyday. That kitchen, in particular, was a busy place. It doesn't seem that far gone, someone could fix it up still. It wouldn't be cheap but dump $50k or so into it and you have a grand old mansion to call your own. Nice place, deserving of your kind attention, Kappy.
This old girl was built for function not for "fortune". But the beauty is in it's simplicity. The old screen door was lovely! The corner built-ins, transom over doors. She's lovely in her own right. Guess as the family grew up, then "modern" times came along and the old places like this one just faded into the background. Another great video Mr Kappy! Thanks for taking me along!
Fantastically said!! Completely agreed! I’m sure the story is something just like that! Thank you for the kind words and watching! :)
Lovely structure. Full of dignity and the memories of good times. Thank you for the tour, Kappy.
Agreed! Much appreciated for watching!! :)
That house is a beauty and still salvageable. I hope someone buys it and fixes it up.
I love exploring abandons in the rain. It's peaceful
Glad you enjoy! Definitely more fun to watch the videos than actually explore in the rain! Lol thank you for watching!! :)
Love these old houses ,never get tired of looking at them ,such a shame they are all getting traded in for cookie cutters now ,ones that take a couple days to throw up ,these kind of homes are like homes I grew up in ,the bedrooms are so big ,thanks for taking time to document them ,they are going fast now
I’m so glad to hear that! I have some really cool ones on the way! Stay tuned! Thank you very much for the kind words and watching!! :)
I could imagine myself sitting in that parlor with a glowing fireplace and a giant flatscreen on the wall to watch Urban Exploring With Kappy!😂 Great find!
Beautiful house!! Looks like it could be saved!!! The rope hanging down in the first room was to help someone sit up in bed….. I imagine it was an elderly person that couldn’t get up the stairs anymore their bed was probably there close to the heat source and accessible to kitchen and bathroom…. Sad that the family didn’t move in when they passed or maybe they didn’t have any….. I wish I was rich lol I would love to live there!! Did you notice what that smaller house was? Maybe they had a little store or workshop (?)….. absolutely love your videos Kappy Thank you for sharing them with us!!!!
Thank you!! Hadn’t even thought about that! Great point about the rope! The smaller place I believe was a store for the farm but it was all locked up couldn’t show inside! Thank you very much for watching! :)
Another Nice Find Kappy!...👍And thanks to the tin roofing for it's continuing salvation... 🙂
Much appreciated for watching!! :)
Kappy! I can’t believe you touched all those spider webs on that door knob! 😂😂😂😱😱😱
Lolol! Thank you for watching!! :)
I was waiting for a huge tarantula or something to grab his hand 💀
I think the handle hanging down was to assist someone in getting out of bed or a chair , I noticed vinyl gloves in that back room, likely the last resident was elderly . Love those doors & that vintage screen door! Beautiful old place!
I thought the same.
Great observations! Bet you are totally right! Thank you very much for the kind words and watching!! :)
Hey Kappy! What a wonderful old house. I love the "maze" set up. Must have been gorgeous back in the day. Still has a certain appeal. Thanks for the explore and dealing with the downpour!! Stay safe! ✌️🌧
Really was like a maze inside and tons unique doors! Glad the rain added a cool effect atleast! Thank you very much for watching! :)
LOVE the front door and transom but is it weird that the corner sinks are my favorite? They’re such an efficient use of space. More houses should use them.
What a fun explore. Some parts of the house looked a bit older than 1890, like the mantles and French doors. Very interesting !
People recycled parts back then, so some could be older.
Back when screen door mesh was made of metal! Gorgeous house Kappy, thank you 💕
I like this house, a lot. Fireplaces, big rooms, multiple porches, I'll take it. Floor plan was a little funky but, hey why not. Thanks, Kappy
It was a strange layout! But I agree! I loved that lil upstairs balcony porch! Thank you for the kind words and watching!! :)
If I could build a little fire in the fireplace, have a nice thick quilt, and a small pillow, I could take a nap on the floor listening to the rain ❤
This is one of the most charming houses you have featured, IMHO. It has so many beautiful features such as the many windows, the porches, the side lights and transoms around the main door and 2nd floor porch door, the balcony and porches. It's a shame that there was no one to save it.
That was an old electric organ. Beautiful house. Thanks for sharing Kappy! ❤
Thanks for the info!! Much appreciated for watching!! :)
Part I loved is people really gave a dam about street maintenance if a square of sidewalk got cracked or uprooted by nature it took them at least a week to get it fixed because it took at least 3 to 4 days to mail out all the invites or summons to the town meetings to everyone who lived on the street, you wanted to make sure you invited everyone or that sidewalk wasn't getting fixed especially when the square was in front of mr X's house and he had to know to go out his back door for a few days well the cement dried.
Every house I've seen videos on ALWAYS have Christmas decorations!
This house needs to be saved, I love your videos
Glad you enjoy my videos! Thank you very much for watching! :)
I love this one! ❤
Glad you enjoyed thank you for watching!! :)
Loved this house, so unusual! It seemed massive downstairs but not so big upstairs. I really liked the assortment of doors.
Another great find Kappy. I sincerely hope that you document all of your adventures with still photographs as you go. The view between :28-:32.....call the frame shop! The hard wood around the back windows was beautiful as well. Safe travels!
Another fine old house.
I feel the peacefulness of the area, thank you kappy
Lots of beautiful farmland! Thank you very much for watching! :)
Oh my ,what a beauty,If love to live there The large rooms,fireplaces,wall papers,,foors,and windows,and always the porches.Love these homes ,this could be livable,I hope it gets fixed up,so much more character than new houses.👍❤️🇺🇸
Thanks Kappy for showing this awesome farm house its beautiful. I just want to sit on the back porch and enjoy the view. Can imagine how beautiful this house was in its day.
I like this house !!! It has good bones and it’s clean !!! The land is beautiful!!! Thanks Kappy !!!!
Me too! Such a nice place! The upstairs porch would’ve been perfect for sitting out and listening to the rain! Thanks for watching! :)
This home is beautiful. You can tell the homeowner put a lot of work into keeping this home nice. I would love to see this one restored. I bet the General Store was nice also
I absolutely love the screen door. My grandfathers family had a place in Virginia on the Chesapeake bay that was built in the 1800’s. They had those screen doors. I wish we still had that house in my family. 😢
What a wonderful house! No graffiti, hooray!
After all he's seen during his explores, Kappy must be immune to the truly gross....i couldn't believe it when he grasped the doorknob through all that gunk! I couldn't look at it. Apart from that, this was a grand historic house. Loved the sink in the master bedroom!
And the spider went running away!
Fabulous little find. I'd have loved to meet the people who designed this gem. That one fireplace was great. Thanks for the tour.
Such a beautiful home. It breaks my heart to see these old homes welt away. My grandmother had a house that would be close to 200 yrs old now. I always loved it. But now its falling down and the person who owns it won't let me go in.😢
Gorgeous house, why do fools buy & pay huge price for cheap built new houses when solid houses like this are available..
Remarkable great condition, lots of love and blessings to all whom dwelled there.
Wow awesome house Kappy but what's with that sketchy looking swing on the way in? Lol! Those old houses always had lots of walls and doors. Great find! Stay safe out there, always appreciate all ur work on these vids!!
I like the little sink when you first come in the men can wash their hands after being outside working.
Beautiful old house I could just feel happiness in that house all happy family having dinner.great find.
With a lovely old house like this, in such a beautiful location, I can never help wondering, why? How could it possibly be just left? It must have been highly saleable and valuable at that time. Boy! I'd love to know. Thank for the experience Kappy.
Thank you, this was a very nice old home...really enjoyed the filming, the huge tree was awesome.
lots of doors iin out neat air flow cool
What a great old house 🏚. Very well made. I hope that someone will live in this house 🏠. Thanks for sharing 👍
Wow beautiful house it's shame and sad 😔
my thought is it was added on to a couple of times. The door downstairs by the little corner sink looks like it was the original front door .. exactly the same door as the Juliet porch. And I could be wrong .. Thanks for the tour!
I’m sure you are right! Old places like this always get updates and remodels over the years as the family grows and more modern luxuries are available! Like running water at a sink or electricity! Thank you for watching!! :)
Beautiful house ❤ Beautiful rainy day!!!❤
Good morning from Cape Cod 🦈 this is really a well-preserved gem, I feel it's a shame to see such a property going to complete dis repair. Once again thanks for bringing us along on your explorations, be careful out there Kappy 👍✌️🇺🇲
Absolutely GORGEOUS house!
Kappy: "Little cassettes..."
Me: Cassettes, hell; those are 8 Tracks, son. 😀 Christ, I'm old. 😒
Yep. That was from a galaxy REally far away 😁
Lol. Yeah, I'm there with you.
This house is awesome and beautiful great find kappy.
Thanks Kappy for another great tour. This home must have been so beautiful back in the day.
Thank you for exploring for us on this rainy day. What a sweet old place, so beautiful!!! You are so awesome for doing this for people who would never be able to do it on their own. I look forward to your videos every weekend, my favorite explorer hands down!!
Wow how beautiful! Another awesome video bro! ❤️👍🤘
Thank you very much for watching!! :)
makes one sad to think that this house 50 years ago was full of life
Such a nice old house, a shame the weather is starting to come in. The sound of the pouring rain was very nice for us, I don’t imagine it was very pleasant for you to explore in. Thanks!
He never said. Where in Alabama is this house at? I want to look at buying it and fixing it up. Looks like it could be saved.
Such a beautiful house! I love the greenish bluish paint!! I see that color in alot of the old houses! Thank you for sharing!❤
wowwwwwww kappy what a beautiful house u rock bud beautiful i love old plantation houses ive seeeen alot of them when i travel down south iu plan to do some old cemeteries since i love taking pics of the head stones i have a lot of civil war cemeteries around here
Oh to sit on the upstairs porch & listen to the Rain 😊
I love that style of farmhouse, beautiful old home.
Really enjoyed the simplicity of this explore and the solidness/classiness of this house~thank you again Kappy for finding another great one❣️
Love your videos and look forward to them so much. Thank you for your efforts in keeping these gems from the past honored.😢
If I only had money,boy oh boy, would restore the one General store also,so many things you could do with it. I wish someone would buy it and restore it.
I like the peaceful sound of the rain coming down. Beautiful place ! Thank you
Another grand old lady. Oh the stories it tells if it could talk.
Great house Thanks for the tour!
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you for watching! :)
Hi Kappy! I like the woodwork in this house and all the different types of windows and doors. The little sink in the upstairs bedroom is like one that was an upstairs bedroom in the house I grew up in. The house was built in the early 1900’s and owned by a doctor. The room with the sink was a patient’s room, I believe.
I love this one! And still very much saveable and restorable❤ also love the little porch sink to wash ya hands after coming in from the field for lunch lol
That doorframe by that sink that opens right to the staircase might have been an original front door to that part of the house; looks like a few add ons took place. Very interesting & cool! Love that rainfall !! It would be cool to live in that house & hear that rain.
What a beautiful old gal. It would be great to see this restored, as the damage seems to be minimal considering it's age and the last time it was lived in.
Awesome house
What a comfortable home this must've been. Wonder what kind of wood is under all the paint and old varnish? Was beginning to wonder too, how folks upstairs kept warm. Thanks, Kappy, and hi, Ruby!
Very sad ! Great home ! The thing that really stood out for me and thought was unusual was the little doors that led into the kitchen (never saw that before). This would be a definite restore for me and make it grand once again ….doesnt look like there was much work that needs to be done other than the formal dining room (?). The little sinks throughout the house is another unusual thing . Thank you Kappy ❤
Loved that pantry off the kitchen Kappy, and I can imgine a big ol wood cookstove in that kitchen also at one time. ❤
Thank you Kappy. I love this house…reminds me of my grandmas house…with a couple extra rooms! 😊
This house had to be amazingly (no pun intended for maze😂) beautiful once upon a time! The building beside it looks like an old general store!😊 Thanks for sharing!
Urban Exploring with kappy thanks for sharing this video with me my friend this place was very nice i liked the way they build the home and thanks again for taking your time to share this video with me and God Bless.
That upstairs bathroom had a main line pipe running ceiling to floor, kinda like there was a toilet in the attic or something. Kinda odd i thought. thanks for another great one!!
The rain was perfect 🥰. I'd sit on the porch n stay a spell n listen for the screen door ❤
Seems like all the old houses from late 1800’s have abandoned pianos and pump organs in them. Such a sign of the old times.
Another beautiful old house. Love the wrap around porch. It would be wonderful to have the money to restore it. Thanks for the great tour :o)
The song Rainy Day in GA comes to mind. ^his house is still solid and could be renovated by someone young and strong. I've seen houses in much worse shape brought back to beauty and life. It's not by a busy road and seems to have a lovely but wild lot. It's being wasted.
I'm in love with this home. I am fairly certain I could restore the home. The staircase is similar to my grandparents home built in 1911.
Real nice one here Kappy. Pretty good condition too. Love seeing these clwfoot bathtubs, so neat. Picked a really crappy day for the explore. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes I did indeed lol! Didn’t realize was going to be torrential downpour that day! Thanks for watching!! :)
Awesome this house has lots of potential for restoration
I love places like this. Such charm!
Me too! Thank you for watching!! :)
Oh I do love the crystal door knobs… so much ❤️
Great house! I'm willing to bet that if that organ was plugged in it would work. My parents had the gold curtains in the living room and the walls were painted that same "mint green" color. Mint green was common in the 1960's. I never liked that color, lol! My parents still had the gold drapes until they passed away... None of my siblings liked them 🤠 Great video Kappy, thanks for another great adventure 🤠👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Prob right about the organ lol! Thank you very much for kind words and watching!! :)
Awesome explore. Bet the house was dope back in its day. Miss hearing Ruby hope she is doing ok. Thanks for the wonderful video 😊👍
Ruby won’t be in anymore videos, just me now sorry about that thanks for watching
