The Once Grand Abandoned Robinsons Plantation House Left Forgotten in The Carolinas *Built in 1858
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
- This neat old farm house was built in the mid 1800’s around 1858 just before the onset of the civil war. Originally the house was just a simple one story home but after success in business and farming the family was able to enlarge the house. Adding the large portico and second story porch out front. Some of the sons of the family supposedly fought in the civil war and the father was a veteran of the Mexican American war. Over the years the farm stayed in the same family until finally being sold off in the early 2000’s and much of the land around was developed for new housing and now the house sits sadly waiting for whatever its fate maybe. Really neat old place with some cool outbuildings as well that I check out at the end of the video. Hopefully this place is restored and saved. Thank you for watching. Like and leave a comment below for me if you enjoyed. Thank you very much.
wish I could hit the lottery,, I'd buy her and save her. Love old homes
If my eyes aren't deceiving me, the title of two of those books left behind in one of the outbuildings was "Surgery of the Alimentary Tract", so it's probable the place was a doctor's office at one time. And Kappy, i was getting concerned when yesterday came and went without your posting a video. Thankfully, here we are!
The whole row of books were surgery related. I thought those looked like doctor bags in the attic….there’s a story there!😄
@@DeborahFlorian-gy6lw Sorry about that! Didn’t get a chance to post on Saturday like usual! Back to normal schedule haha thank you for the kind words and watching! I’d bet you are right about being a doctors or vets office! :)
@@DeborahFlorian-gy6lw me too! I was so glad to see this on Sunday!
My exploring days are over but thanks to you I can still see these treasures. I really look forward to your videos.
Maybe they aren't..but if they are then you can go there like this. I love exploring old places, one of my favorite things!
I can never understand how these neat houses are left to rot. It's such a shame. Now this house still can be saved and if the owner kept up with daily repairs it could have lasted forever. Look how it stood for more than a century and still could be used. It makes no sense. Thanks for showing it Kappy. 👍❤
@@patriciabonitz5758 you live in a weird reality
I’ll bet that old washer-dryer set still works!
Probably better than the modern ones I have 😂
May you never run out of houses! I await your next post; not letting us forget the history of homesteads in the USA. 👍🏻😊
@@lorirapp8581 You are too kind! Thank you thank you! Really appreciate it! :)
"hot water heater? Why would you need to heat hot water?" - my dad, every time I would say hot water heater.
@@TheZappawizard Lol! Thanks for watching! :)
Ya gotta love a good dad joke ☺️
@@TheZappawizard to be fair if you’re not running a tankless hot water heater you are heating hot water over and over again 24 hours a day seven days a week. You are heating already hot water.
It’s a beauty Kappy! I love the double porches. I don’t know if people just had to pack up and leave suddenly or they just use these old homes for storage. Either way, it’s incredibly sad to leave it in such a state. So thankful for your hard work Kappy and for bringing these amazing homes to us before they’re gone for good. Can’t wait see the second home! As always…stay safe!😊
Very interesting! Loved it! Thanks so much!
@@melissaboggs5176 Really appreciate that! I loved that second story porch and columns as well! Very grand design! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
I love the idea of having an out building that serves as an office, possibly where you see patients given the type of books in that office room. The commute wouldn't be bad at all.
I was thinking this the other day! How cool these old homes could be a business downstairs or Airbnb and you live in the same place
Thanks Kappy for showing this awesome old house
@@melanienance4920 Glad you enjoyed! Thank you for watching! :)
What a beautiful old house and all that land..I would live there
@@ricj7517 Agreed! Thank you very much for watching! :)
scutch brite, haven't seen that in years...alot old cassic stuff in the kicken
What a beautiful home. Love the cheerfulness of the wallpaper in the kitchen/laundry room and the matching couch. Great little sitting room to read while timing something to cook or wait for clothes to be done. I think the old newspapers upstairs were out of old boxes or used as drawer liners-the house has been inhabited much more recently. Or else they weren’t using the upstairs for the most part. Great office in that outbuilding. I love it! Wish I had the money-I’d buy it fix it up and live in it in a heartbeat!😊❤
I love the six over six windows and all the beautiful old trim, though I prefer stained wood trim. It looks like there's been considerably updates from the 80s.
Hey Kappy! Wow. What a cool old house. I am sure there were squatters staying in it. I hate all these old places being abandoned instead of restored. Be careful and stay safe! Thanks for the look. ✌️
@@lucybieller7604 Probably true! Does seem like someone squatted there for a while, thank you very much for watching and the kind words!! :)
This house is a testament to the standing steal roof. Place has stayed well inside. One of the most expensive roof systems to get bit well worth it in the long term
@@Dav3Campb3ll true! Those metal roofs get a solid 40-50 years if put on well maybe even more! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Kappa, you take us on tours exactly the way I would walk through an old house. I LOVE it!!! I live in the Carolinas and wish I knew where this beautiful gem was. Looks like 1970’s or ‘80s was the last time anyone actually lived there.
@@cindysheets1824 i really appreciate the kind words!! Thank you very much for watching I’m glad you enjoy!! :)
Interesting house small I think for a plantation house? the second staircase must have been for the household staff. Thanks so much for the great tour I hope someone buys this property and restores the house it's a great old place so much awesome character
I had the same thought as you about the floral couch and matching wallpaper. Wonder which came first, the couch or the wallpaper?🤣 Great house 👍👍 Kappy!
@@lonwaslien104 Good question! Wish I knew lol! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
a Vet. might have an office outside like that
@@docfax good thinking! Thanks for watching!
Walter T. Foster book on painting! I used those years ago. I noticed a well pump outside too!
Wow what a grand old girl! She still has beauty & charm! How sad she’s abandoned & decaying! Another wonderful video Kappy! 👍🤘❤️
Beautiful old house with old buildings and nice yard. Too many old houses like this were updated and lost alot of their original floorplans, woodwork etc. I certainly would not want it so changed, l love the old charm left inside as well as outside. Yet this old house still has great potential and would make a great home again. Thanks for sharing and appreciate all you do!
This place looks pretty good for sitting all these years. A few pennies put into it, and it could be saved. The view from the 2nd story porch would be a beautiful place to sit with a cup of coffee in the evenings. Love it!
I believe you are right about squatters. But at least they didn't mark up the walls with graffiti.
Another great explore in Mr Kappy! Thanks for taking me along!!!!😊
That’s more than a few pennies right there
@@tammybaker6635 Agreed I was glad no graffiti! Id sit out there every morning or evening for a cup of coffee! Thank you very much for watching and the kind words! :)
@@ihave35cents95 Agreed! Big bucks to restore that house and bring it up to code.
@@cristywyndham-shaw5111
Only the lazy people always say why doesn’t somebody restore that? What is shame why didn’t somebody it’s extreme amount of money?
Missing the signature Kappy sigh of dread looking down a dark set of stairs into…the basement.
Another adorable reason
we ❤ this fellow. 👍
The kitchen was probably added on in the 1940s. An antebellum house in the south would have had an outdoor kitchen originally.
Looks like the inheritance went as far as it could go
Yes, well, life is a complicated struggle,
with bends, and twists.
Thank you for taking time to check out the wallpaper/drapes/couch fabric! This house was so loved.
And please be extra careful and always have someone with you. Take care of your self!
Thank you Kappy, for another great video !
Hi 👋🏼! That’s a great old house. Maybe they had a cook or maid or a nanny even that used the back stairs. Thanks for the tour!
Nice. View from top over front porch was gorgeous. Imagine view in fall .
TINY kitchen for such a big housel Cool old housel
Probably not the original.
An additional. Most plantation houses had outdoor kitchens.
What a view from the upstairs porch! Cool one Kappy!
Glad you didn’t get hurt trying to give us peek in the attic!❤🙏🏻
@@Sirshackleton Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Maybe the back stairs were for a renter. There's a deadbolt on the large bedroom door. Cool house.
Definitely an office, possibly a doctor. My Great Grandfather was a dr and had similar books. Drove a horse and buggy for house calls
I loved the house, but that wall paper, whew, it was busy!!! You startled me climbing up the attic steps, when you nearly fell. That scared me. I'm so glad you didn't fall. Does your girl have an itinerary when she isn't with you so someone knows where you are at all times?
What a fascinating property. Really liked the outbuildings. Wonder what the history was.
Oh goody!! All settled in for our favorite RUclips channel!!!
@@1927su you are too kind! Thank you for watching! :)
The small stairs, are usually the original. Then the additions would continue, as wealth and family grew. I'm sure the original homestead was much smaller, than what we see today.
Lovely old South, nothing like it!
Cleaning up , moving in .. WHAT A BEAUTY.❤
@@lorysutherland5464 Thank you for watching!! :)
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 ❤Your videos are perfect.. Too much to list. I am right there. Thank-You.
@@lorysutherland5464 You are too kind! I really do appreciate it! Makes it all worthwhile knowing others enjoy seeing these forgotten places! Thank you! :)
Thanks Kappy for another video!!! House was different but the outside office was a shock !!!
WOW, that kitchen was straight out of the 1970's! The wallpaper, amber glassware, Tupperware jugs all from the '70's. The wallpaper in the downstairs bathroom looked typical early 1980's. Love the spacious bedrooms with their long windows and the old fireplace in one of them. I'd love to go through the boxes in the attic and sift through the books. Some of those were medical books. Be careful, Kappy! Thank you for showing us this lovely old house with all the intricate details that made it special still present. She still has remnants of her beauty despite the neglect.
@@cristywyndham-shaw5111 Great observations! Thank you very much for the kind words and watching!! :)
You kinda blew by it, but we still have door bells like the one on that front door!
I'm glad you didn't "bust your face open!" I do wonder what the belted thing in the attic was, though.
P.S., I love seeing the outbuildings and the pay of the land. Thanks!
That was an old one...I still have an old rotory phone on the wall in my kitchen look just like the one in this kitchen lol good cover thanks..:)
Great house in its day
@@larrysmith6499 agreed! Thanks for watching! :)
I love this old house!!! It looks like if someone has the time, money & patience, this would be a perfect property to restore 👍🙏💕
It is still in relatively good shape 👍 If I were 40 years younger & wanted to live in the Carolinas, I’d love to restore this gem of a property!!! It’s architecture & grandeur are unmatched today 😰😞😢 I particularly loved the original wooden doors, door casings, hardware, baseboards, trim all of which I’d remove the paint & restore them back with stain, to bring out the original, beauty of the wood!!! I would also rework the floor plan to expand the kitchen, put a bathroom in the upstairs & make the house, in general, more efficient!!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful adventure with us Kappy…I loved it 👍🙏💕
I grew up with a pump like that outside our kitchen in the family Homestead in OH- spent many happy afternoons making mud😅
Cool old house. In the neighborhood like that nobody stayed in that house I guarantee you especially not with running without running water!
Ty Kappy 4 this vid and u were ok on that attic ladder. Missed ya Saturday and was hoping u were ok! Plz b safe out there!
@@NativeNYer That ladder got me hahah! Back to normal schedule again! Thanks for watching! :)
I remember my dad talking about sometimes in the dog days of summer they would go out in the yard and sleep to seek refuge from the heat in the house. I would think that those second story porches would be a good place to escape to at night also. If I had the money, I would build my house to include a 2nd story porch.
Beauty in days gone by.😢
Happy Sunday to you Kappy! Thank you for sharing this elegant and beautiful, simple but very classy old home. I love the old Antebellum homes. So much history inside those walls. Thank you again for you're amazing videos every weekend and have a great day!!✌️❤️
Nice house, outside study/office was neat to see and very surprising. Thumbs up kappy
That place is not beyond redemption. That was a great find and a great tour. I think someone intended to come back. I wonder what happened.
@@SRay-or3nc Agreed it definitely still could be saved! Thank you very much for watching! :)
Beautiful old house, so sad 😢
You always find the neatest houses to tour! Great job! Thanks for taking us along.
@@talyng8919 Glad you enjoy! I try my best! Thanks for watching!! :)
C es pas là plus belle des 🏠 que tu nous a montré, mais joliment restaurer avec goût elle serait magnifique ❤❤😊....
Awesome video those are some cool old houses
@@samuelescudero3501 thank you very much for watching!! :)
Interesting entrance gate out front with letter B. Nice find Kappy 👌
@@DD-th2bd Last letter still up! Thank you very much for watching! :)
Families of the old ones that lived in these old places must rent them out .
Some renters are not reliable and just take off and leave everything when they can't afford to rent anymore .
What a shame for these grand old houses .
Sooooo charming,very cozy,i love the cubbies under the stairs some old houses have!! Still has some of the hardware also,what a veiw from the porch,nice sized house,with uts rich history i. can't understand why they arent preserved by a historical society, imagine what it looked way back when.? Maybe the second staircase was fir servants back in the day.Its a beauty💯, great find kappy,thanks for sharing 💯👍🏼
Thanks for showing this one. It is sure off though, like someone without experience remodeled it. The kitchen is just weird, off somehow. The front door is too close to the stairs. I do wish we could see it like it was meant to be. There are some lovely features.
Right about the time that dust on the stairs got you, it looked like there was a doctor's bag in the attic. A possible clue that one of the residents may have been an old sawbones. Historic houses have so many stories to tell.
Looks great,I liked this house ,I can remember those kind of door knobs,be careful, it's a beautiful one
The photos of the homes at the end of this video are really interesting looking.
Cool little house bet it was beautiful when it was first built too. Thanks for sharing. You have a great day and safe travels
This house looks like it would be an easy save since there are no apparent leaks in the roof and falling plaster.😊
Not a bad place, seems like there have been some odd updates over the years that resulted in tiny, odd rooms. That office in the outbuilding was a nice surprise. Be careful out there. Thanks, Kappy
Like watching your videos interesting on how the houses were built back in the day especially in the south. I live in a house built in 1865 in northern Illinois
I’m jealous!
Urban Exploring with kappy thanks for sharing this video with me i really enjoyed it and God Bless.
@@customscreenprinting thank you for watching!! :)
wow kappy u had a scare up in that attic i swear i heard footsteps following yu im not into the paranormal but i could of swore that was so scary but other than that this house was beautiful in its day great find take care my gratefully deadicated friend keeep on keeepin ok
I like that Kappy knows about the house he explores
Very cool 😎👍 kappy love these old houses you find so sad looks like remodeling was taking place and they walked away so sad
Loved the tour and hearing your cheery voice ✌️😊
Thank you Kappy for another great and interesting house and as always thank you for sharing 😊
I was disappointed come Saturday morning and no Knappy. So glad to see you today! Great video, I think a doctor or vet might have occupied that house. Thanks so much . Angela in Tennessee.
@@user-uk2ro1hm2y I’m sorry about that, have had a lot going on lately, thank you for watching hopefully back to normal schedule
Thanks for another great explore!! The office space gave me reason to pause though 🤔😂.
Thank you Kappy for all the videos. I enjoy them so much! Lovely old home. I especially like the pump, reminds me of my childhood on the farm. We had no running water indooors for a time. Keep safe!
@@acanuck Really glad to hear you enjoy! Thank you very much for the kind words and watching!! :)
Great house! Thanks for the tour 😃
@@joanneclose7041 Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Thanks again for a great video, Kappy!
@@barbconquest Thank you very much for watching!! :)
@@barbconquest Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Such a beauty. Looks like the last remodel was in the 70s. That house shared many lifetimes. Sad it's in such condition.
Nice!! House Kappy!! 😮🎉
I’m so happy you didn’t bust your face 🥴I wonder if it was a surgeons home by the books in the office. That couch that looked like the wallpaper almost blended into the wall. That one book was titled“What Do You Say After You Say Hello”🤔Hmmm. I never saw a landline put right above the kitchen sink. Good thinking. You could be on the phone & doing dishes or cooking 😂 I’m glad to see you Kappy. I missed you yesterday. Take care& stay safe
We had a yellow wall phone just like that in our kitchen, back in the seventies. Dialing took forever 😆
The orbs are certainly happy to follow you around !
Kappy you definitely have an eye for framing a shot. Well done 🥰
@@danaMccabe-dagmarK I really appreciate that!! Thank you for watching!! :)
Cool place Kappy. Thanks for the tour.
I don't like to see a lot of things that are still good to be left alone - sometimes even the landlord is surprised that there are no other children or relatives to take care of the property.
Great void! Thanks 😊
Lovely house thanxs fer showing it stay safe my friend
I bet the washer and dryer still work..they were made to last back then.😊
Agree this one looks like it was last updated in 80s. Seems like yesterday, not 40 years ago. 😊 Enjoyed the tour. Cool old house. ❤
Beautiful
Wondering if that old newspaper that had an article "Country Doctor" could have been about the office being a doctor's with the medical books?
What’s up my favorite explorer? I wished I had the money to buy that house and fix it up.
What a beauty Kappy. Love the floral wallpaper and the downstairs couch. Agree about the squatters, sure looks like it. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I wish you can go through some left behind paperwork to see about when the last person was there.
Thank you this channel, to mine solo explore, this location is far frm heightway and neighbours, this house lk great amazing all inside items, this owner leaves behind, the most ddy favourites is antiques items very difficult to get, inside lk larges space, may know where is this location, lk wonderful masters designs renovation, and land yards outside is more2 largers location, scenery lk wonderful, with wind blow, bird fly follows rtythm, of sound and water in the river flow side ways, thank you to explore, bless with take care and stay safe. From, raddy, ddy, good luck, be careful wherever any location enter.
Cool old house. Wonder if they got the couch to match the wallpaper or the wallpaper to match the couch.
If this house was mine I would give it a different layout on the first floor like moving the kitchen into one of the larger rooms and the first staircase I would knocked the wall down so the other side of can be opened and the second staircase get rid of it anyways what beautiful awesome house great video kappy .
Also put a bathroom upstairs.
