The Sad Majestic Abandoned Millers Manor House in The Mountains of Tennessee

  • Опубликовано: 24 май 2024
  • This beautiful old house was built in the late 1800’s for a roller mill owner. The mill began operating in the middle 1800’s and a smaller modest house was built nearby around 1850. Sometime later after the civil war, the mill would see a renewed success, essentially creating a small town or mill village around it. When this beautiful Victorian farm house was built with a large wraparound porch and very unique vernacular design. Every room in the house features a fireplace and the home still features some stunning woodwork and architectural details. The mill closed its doors in the early 1900’s for the final time and the house was lived in for another few decades before ending up forgotten in the 1980’s. Really loved this house, thank you for watching! Like and leave a comment below for me if you enjoyed! Thank you!

    This house is stunning! I love the layout and design of first house. I hate how history is disappearing because people want the new modern homes. I would take one of these any day. Thank you Kappy!

      ​​​@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773This house with its wraparound porch that so many kids played on so many times for so many decades, and so many other houses like it, make me think of the wonderful old John Anderson song, "I Just Came Home To Count The Memories". Give it a listen. It would be great theme music for your channel, if you can get permission.

    I don't understand why this beauty was abandoned or why it hasn't been restored. I hope that the lady bug brings this house some good luck. If I was young and had the money, this place would be mine. I already have so many ideas spinning through my head. It really does have so much potential. Someone went nuts with a sledgehammer on the second house.

    Such a grand old farmhouse! Some plusses right off the bat; it's surrounded by no one, the awesome porch, the double foyer with the gorgeous archway and the beautiful woodworking! The rooms are quite large which is another plus. No bathroom was no doubt difficult. I can't imagine having to use the bathroom and trodding outside in the dead of winter to use the out house 😬. I'm sure they use chamber pots in some cases. I guess bathing would have been done using a big wooden tub, but where? I wonder if they had an outbuilding for that? It makes you really appreciate having a modern bathroom 😆.
    It's sad that it's been abandoned to nature.
    The second house is a quaint old place sadly rotting away. Again no bathroom which gives you a general idea as to how old it is. It's just so sad to see it decay like this.
    Another great adventure Kappy! I always enjoy your explorations! 🤠👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Sad about the missing back of the house and the painted woodwork, though. Second house, from the outside reminded very much of the house I grew up in. The inside, not so much. Thanks, Kappy. You make my break from Saturday house cleaning so much better

    No bathroom or kitchen, it appears no renovations were done other than rudimentary electrical installation. What a time capsule of American history. That would be a perfect house to offer up for a dollar as local governments often do. It does need a new foundation to meet code along with a new roof, structural repair, and a number of other code compliance issues. For the right person it could be dream home.

    Off the grid living. No electricity, gas, or water. I think the "kitchen" was the room behind the living room because there seemed to be an access in the chimney for a pot belly stove. Very basic floor plan, every bedroom was about the same. No basement. No attic. Burn wood for heat. No telling where the outhouse was. Too bad the back porch is gone. I love that the wood hasn't rotted away in almost 200 years, that old growth wood is fantastic. Shame about the stairway railings gone. I don't see fixing this, but some of the wood should be salvaged.

    Loved both these places. Looking past the graffiti in the 1st place, it had some great features. I think my favorite room would have been the yellow bedroom. I liked the way they painted the fireplace mantelpiece.
    #2 house is similar to a place here in our town. It's more of a utilitarian place. Not real showy but I think the people who lived in it back in the day, working hard and raising their kids.

    Hi Kappy, thank you again for another amazing explore. Both those houses were amazing. The first one I absolutely loved the first time you filmed it, I'm a sucker for a wrap around porch. The history behind these houses and the stories they could tell . I can't believe neither house had a bathroom, that must have been rough with bathing and outhouses but the house is still amazing. So much character. Thank you again for taking me places I cannot go. Have an amazing holiday!!!✌️❤️

    So sad to see these houses falling apart glad you get to document them before they are lost for ever you could write a book 📖 about all these lovely homes im sure people would be very interested in what used to be before the new towns get built well done kappy other great video.

    LOVED the first one! The archway and porch trim are both still so solid looking. The whole house still looks solid besides that back room. I didn’t see any outlets but saw 1 or 2 light switches. No kitchen or bath either wow! Loved the layout too. Such a shame. Thank you! -John

    This looks like it’s in fairly good condition…not as intimidating as most to rescue. I hope. It would be a beautiful home. Thank you Kappy!

    I love how you take time to show and talk about the details of each room. You just don't di a quick run though. All my best, Jim😀
