- This incredible but sadly falling apart plantation house was built in 1830 but the property dates back to the late 1700s.The history of it is very interesting and I will share some of it in my pinned comment below. This was honestly one of my favorite explores, I can just visualize how beautiful this place would’ve been back in the day and still is now even being in the shape that it’s in.

This incredible old plantation was built in 1830 but the property dates back to the late 1700s.(The original house was burned down by British troops in the American revolution) And then wood left from that house was used to construct the plantation shown in this video. During the civil war times this plantation was a small town consisting of a school and even a post office. The history of it is actually pretty interesting. This was honestly one of my favorite explores, I can just visualize how beautiful this place would’ve been back in the day and still is now even in the shape it is in. Some of the coolest stuff I find is after I manage to reach the 2nd and 3rd floors around 8:30 in.

Urban Exploring With Kappy You did an incredible job filming this home! Bravo! Thank you for being slow enough with the camera. So many beautiful old things to see. The poster bed resembles one in Williamsburg, Va. The top that is pointed is meant to represent a pineapple. A symbol of friendship. Yes it's still a beautiful home today. Your footage may be its last. I'm so appreciative you shared this explore with us, Kappy!
@@janwarriner5037 everything you said is so true. Very true.
Love when the history is told. Great history & filming, can really explore with my eyes the details. Enjoyed. Subscribing. Thank You!
Also love that there is no annoying music playing.
this was amazing! wish I could have been there and read through the papers in that trunk! If those walls could talk imagine the tales they would tell!
Thank you for sharing this though it breaks my heart. The last person who lived in this house was Dillard Riddick and he was my grandfather’s cousin. I visited there in the 70’s during a family reunion. It was absolutely grand. Dillard took me inside the first floor and I was fascinated. Many of the furnishings were the original ones. Dillard’s mother invited all her great-nieces, which included my mom,to spend a week there. together in the summer. Mom (now 101), has wonderful memories of those times. When Dillard died the house was left vacant. It is so very sad to see what has happened to it.
Sadly this house is probably a pile of rubble by now but it still remains one of my favorite houses I’ve ever had the pleasure of filming and documenting for future generations
Beth, thank you for adding your info about your family history here. I adore the abandoned explorations, but I go bonkers trying to find these places online. I cannot stand to be unable to find out the homes history. The history of the families and their lives lived there. It completed the whole adventure for me.
Is the property still owned by your family?
How can people just walk away from these wonderful homes? Breaks my heart.
Ashamed at how such beautiful old homes get left to rot away! Sad
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate to see a beauty like this just falling down. This is history.
What an amazing old house. I'd surely love to know what made them leave so much stuff behind--especially all the furniture. I'm assuming either people have come in and trashed the place after it was abandoned or else these people were hoarders.. Why so much trash and papers all over the floor? That's crazy... But this is one of my favorite explores... Such a shame to let such a beautiful home fall to pieces like this. 😓
Oh and thank-you for doing what you do be careful and God bless
the out side of the house, tell s of it grace.the in side tells of life long ago. great job.
I just have to tell you that your videos are by far, the most enjoyable! You take your time showing us around, your voice is calm in addition to sharing really interesting and historic homes. Thank you!
Suzi Lindblad I totally agree Some of the best and my favorites!
Love the board & batten in the kitchen & the unpainted ship lap
Great video! I just wish you'd sometimes open some of the books, or dig through things a bit more. We can learn a bit more about the people who once lived there...not too much of course, but a little.
I'd love to salvage the furniture. Such a shame to see bits of history rotting away like that.
I can not confirm it, but federalist chairs like the ones pictured if made in New England by famous makers could fetch in the 50-100K and some of the chairs fit that style
Thank you for being so brave...
WOW this place must have been amazing at one time. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day
Loved all the old beds. What a shame.
Sad to see this beautiful house left to decay away like that.Please be extremely careful when exploring these places Kappy but thank you for taking the risk and getting to the 2nd and 3rd floors.So much old furniture left behind and so much crap everywhere.Makes you wonder how anyone lived there with all that stuff,they had to be hoarders
Toni M Thank you very much!! I knew it was a risk but had to take a chance to film as much of this place as I could before it falls into complete ruin sadly. Thanks for watching
Kappy, please take me with you. I'm from Ohio and I'd love to see some of these ole beauties ❤️
This is so awesome I love your videos keep up the work you are so cool this is my thing old old places it just reminds me of when I was a child up in the mountains a house set far off from everywhere this is great love it
When I watch these videos I am always interested in the history of the mold houses. If I had inherited the house and I didn't want it (which I doubt very much) I would have taken the furniture rather than let it rot away. But then that's me I guess. This is so sad and disrespectful o the owners and the building which has so much history. I could never leave my parents or grandparents house to rot away.
Great video, this would be a antique dealers dream find!
Great video...I enjoyed seeing all the vintage stuff left behind. Please be safe in your explores.
Thx again for another wonderful tour. Almost in tears. I can never wrap my head around how people can just leave all those treasures! Even if they couldn't afford to live there anymore, there were so many things that could've been sold or donated. Now it's impossible to save anything. Even if no will or descendants, someone could've salvaged things. So sad. :)
I always wonder why almost every abandoned house you URBEXers go into has a thick layer of mixed items just strewn around. Do all pillagers feel that they have to do this? Sheesh!! If I went in to search for valuables, I'd just hit the most likely places and leave the rest of the place as is. And what is the point of breaking things like TVs and china? What is the mindset there? It's sad that so much is lost through deliberate destruction... sigh...
I always have a hard time watching these videos..besides the fact that I wish I was there doing the explore, seeing such a grand old home just falling apart like that FULL of furniture just sitting there...it’s literally painful...
So sad to see such a beautiful historic place turning to dust! If those walls could talm!
Breaks my heart to see all the old stuff going to rot
Beautiful place
Simply beautiful
You are always risking your life for us. Thank you for all you do Kappy! We really do appreciate you!!. This place looks like a hoarders home. Noticed no graffiti. Sad to see what was once s beautiful home being is such sad shape. Why won't anyone go through it save the antiques left behind? Great explore Kappy! I think it's my fave so far.
Very cool 😎 lots of history remains there nice find thanks for sharing
You did it again, another great spot and great cinematography. Kap, you just keep getting better and better. Thanks for posting such great stuff, >
Jim Miller I really appreciate the kind words, thank you very much!
Really interesting, substantial old place. Wow! Nice kitchen chairs. Nice bedstead. Nice porch. Nice rocking chair! Shame boring folks have chucked stuff everywhere. Looks a bit hazardous. But you can see it would have been beautiful. A most intrigueing house. I don't know how you find them all. Any idea when it was last lived in?
Its amazing the way that half the house is all but collapsed & then in the corner of the room you see some clothes hung up, calmy waiting for their owner to come & put them on, just as though they were only hung there yesterday & the rest of the house is intact & occupied & the house is fine & it's just another day.
So many antiques so sad 2 Hoover cabinets in the kitchen all the different chairs so many very old things in the kitchen I loved the 3rd floor in her closet I noticed hanging on the door were shoes from the 1940's who ever lived there over the generations would be so sad that there house was left to decay thanks for a great explore loved it
Dorothy Machado. I love the old cabinets too. So many antiques in there. Sad for them to just rot away.
the cabinets are Hoosier. Very cool.
Oops😕
What a lovely place it must of been in its prime and the memories it must have! As the old saying goes..If those walls could talk what some stories it could tell.
SO rad! ....But SO dangerous. Take a buddy with you
Vandals and thieves go hand in hand and I haaaaate them both! Thank you Kappy!
You can bet your grandma that this place has been turned upside down and searched. Very sad. Mantels ripped out, and anything of historical value are long gone.
Well done, Kappy! It's ashame the current owner let it get to that state. When I was there the floor in the front hall hadn't collapsed yet. I'm glad you made it out alive! Haha.
History Rambler Mark Thank you!! I really appreciate that! And wow! how ago long had you last gone there?
Urban Exploring With Kappy I think it was about 2 years ago! There was an old cart under the house that I took a picture of and I think its crushed now!
What a beautiful house this must have been. Sad when you see what it is now. Someone has done his best to make something beautiful many years ago.
Would love to have some of those chairs that are just thrown around. Did you know there is always a door down the hall from the front door so they could open them and get air circulation?
Its incredibly sad to see all the beautiful antiques left to rot. I wish it all could be rescued before it all gets buried as the house crashes down. U r so brave to make it all the way up but Im so glad u did. Thank u!!!!
Those chairs and primitives are worth quite a bit and is a pickers dream.....Should make offers on the contents before it is ruined. Juss sayin....Sell in an antique store, especially in Henderson or Asheville.
If walls could talk. Very interesting!
Anybody remember turning their table chairs upside down on the table to mop the kitchen floor?
I want that coat hanging on the door. I take it apart and pattern one after it. That would be cool.
It looks like it was a gorgeous house. I wonder how it looked just after it was abandoned and of course how it looked in its better days. I always have wanted to be able to see old abandoned houses in its original state.
So sad! Such a waste of beautiful antiques! & Waste of History!! Wish some things could have been saved!! Thanks!!👍
This house is a treasure trove of 19th century furniture! Some of the furniture left to the ravages of time would feel right at home on Antiques Roadshow! I loved the lectern and the child's cart and the old advertising piece on the top floor were definitely quite valuable! This is the best collection of antiques I've seen so far on Kappy's video adventures. It almost makes one consider a life of petty larceny!
The house itself would be easier to see without all the garbage and clutter, but it appears to be remarkably well preserved, in places at least, considering its age. Strange how one portion can be relatively intact and the other completely devastated. How sad that this could happen and nobody seems to care. The history of this once grand house begs to have a book written about it, especially as no one seems to have plans to preserve this treasure of a bygone era.
Seeing these things happen to such wonderful houses makes me look around at my own humble dwelling and wonder if this will be its fate.
Thanks again, Kappy, for saving these visual records for posterity.
I'm a Riddick. Grandfather was from north carolina
Urban Exploring with Kappy thanks for a another exciting video about the Massive abandoned Mansion / plantation w/ everything still inside & incredible Antiques . Kappy who owns this old house it does not look like any body cares about the place. it is very sad it wasn't taken better care of the place.. Kappy I was a little nervous when you started going up stairs the place did not look safe my friend please be very carful when you do these videos I don't want you to hurt yourself okay and I can't wait to see your next video and thanks again and God Bless my friend.
What a beautiful place. Makes me sad to see it like that now. Thanks for the video!
Found you on another channel! Love your footage excited to see more
There was a podium there where they used to put the family bible on it. Why I am not sure . In that one room was a child size bed. that was neat to see. Another great video. thank you lean on God
This is so sick and sad how this once beautiful elegant luxurious home was allowed to deteriorate and fall to ruins Kappy!... 😢
Even in severe decay, the beauty speaks.
A massive early home. Very simple lines. Very little ornamentation. I wonder, is there perhaps an early cemetery on the property alone with so many of these early houses.
Fabulous video Happy! Just curious, did you find any evidence that there were any bathrooms in the house?
Incredibly sad.😢
I can just imagine if you visited my house. "All this stuff".
WOW! Kappy, this is a wonderful old place. Lots of history there. Wish some of the stuff could be saved before
it completely rots. i saw the top of an old mantle weight clock peeping from out the bottom of a pile of rubbish.
So sad to see this "Gone with the decay" place.
You hit the jackpot with this one. Another 10 yrs. & this place won’t be standing. Great find!
My thought, as the exploration progressed, was that the place looked too dangerous for the usual rattle-can monkeys to venture into it. Would love to have seen pictures taken of this building before disintegration set in and it was still intact enough to walk the floors. I hope you took my advice to heart, Kappy, and you're wearing sturdy, reinforced footwear when you go into these splintery, rotted structures. Thanks
Pretty awesome find . Looks like there may of been more then one member of the same family group living here and perhaps the last occupant/s became a hoarder. I see so much pain here just to fill your home with stuff to try and hide from the problem . Terrible all these antiques and history will be lost unless someone gets to this home now like yesterday y . This house must of been gorgeous in its hey day . Thank you for the effort you took to go and film this beauty .
Not one, but two Hoosier cabinets just rotting away, it’s so sad. If nothing else I guess these places should represent as a cautionary tale, this is what happens when you drag more and more stuff home, to the point you’re overwhelmed by it. I can literally feel the weight of all that junk. Obviously nobody needed or wanted it.
You make me so nervous going into a house when the floors are in such bad shape !!!!!! How could a family have so much stuff !!!! Hoarders maybe ????? Sad though , thanks Kappy just stay safe !!!!!!!!
With that kind of history it blows my mind why that home isn’t on some type of historical register. Just think if, before all the decay and distress, someone would have preserved it with all the item left behind what a treasure our future generations would have to see!!! Love your work Kappy!
Two amazing hosier cupboards in the kitchen. Double draining sink. Great old dressers. Geezzzz
Right next to the coins on the floor was a blue cardboard advertisement for Judge Reddick III, did you notice it?
Yeah the house has stayed in the original family it’s pretty incredible!
This is another great house! It is great to have the history. It looks like there must have been vandals there and that was a long time ago. I don’t think that the people who lived there would have thrown all of the stuff on the floor.
great explore Kappy, this must have been one big beautiful majestic house back in it's day,,it's a shame that there's so much water damage to it now, that's going to make all the floors eventually cave in,, i'm a record collector and it pained me to see all those nice old country albums all going to waste on that bed upstairs,,great explore though,nonetheless , keep up the good work, be safe
It’s funny how there is always an Ajax cleaner.I am 70 and my
Mum swore by it.
I'd love to run a metal detector around the perimeter of that place. Probably quite a few very old artifacts.
This one really bothered me. It was obviously a beautiful home. And to be left in this way is just sad. Nice video and your technique is flawless.
Boy, you find some VERY neat places!!! Minimal, respectful talking and NO dumb music!!! GOOD JOB!!!!
This poor house. I guess the young riff raff today don't have anything better to do but go inside these lovely old places and bust out windows, break and overturn furniture, empty out drawers and cabinets and throw the contents all over, etc, etc. Sickening!
A great find Kappy, a very nice house and great old stuff, sadly the place is in a very bad decay, dont think a revisit in 2 years is possible, event those old antiques are in bad shape. But it is a place too remember loved watching it.
I really like the clapboard siding and it still seems to be in good condition, at least under the porches. I like the whole house in general,very unfortunate that it has been allowed to fall into such a state of decay. Thank you for your time in presenting this. Truly a loss of history;once they are gone,they are gone. So many people would love to save a house like this,but often I think old places like this get tied up legal hurdles. There is always disagreement in how to dispose of the property, and so it just sits.
Wow..this is one of my favorites of your videos. Love that you gave that awesome history of the place.
So many beautiful old antiques in there. The old cabinets,wooden chairs & that old rocking chair..just to rot away. It was just great seeing all the stuff left in there. I'm to old to do what you do, so this is the next best thing. lol
Thanks so much & been careful.

If I was younger I would be doing this too I also enjoy watching these old mansions and houses it is so interesting
Seriously love this place. Too bad it isn't worth saving, however I would totally like to at least search through some of these rooms to see what could be salvaged and hopefully restored.
This house should have never been abandoned. Too much important history to pass down to the next generation. A historical museum would have been nice with reenactments of special historical moments. It's nice when history is kept alive and treasured!!
Omg!!! Someone needs to save that old wooden furniture!!!!!
Yeah , lots of stuff left behind but house looks to be in very bad condition.
I bet this place was really something back in the day.
How tragic is the state of this gorgeous old home. It's probably gone now.
Very sad😥 was probably lovely at on time🌺🌺🌺
Lovely place. Waste to leave those antiques there to just rot.
Looks like a hurricane or two went through that place. That's sad.
well back up the truck small fortune in chairs tables and wooden objects..if you not going to do that at least metal detect the yard
I love that Daisy Chest with green border !!!!
Can't believe you went upstairs!!!
I soooo much wanted to tidy that porch. I must have OCD.
This place is about to cave in on itself
I'm glad you went upstairs not Shure I would have your awesome
great find ! she has a lot of fire and water damage but she still shows the great bones that made her a wonderful house! your right a LOT of antiques !
oh wauw incredible mansion, must have been so nice in the days. It definitely have been abandoned for decades. By the look of television and the coin saying 1964 is around the time it was left, what a shame.
There was a 1977 calendar
Is it sad what people do to these old houses. They live here, move out, then others come and junk it up like it is now. A shame.
WOW!! What a huge place. How many acres? Is it for sale? The chairs were really sweet. I seen lots of treasures! Thanks
this is too sad as well as 2 lost hoosiers. do people actually leave their houses like this or do the trashers come in?
I hope you rescue some of those antiques! I hate to think of them just rotting away!
I just don’t see how these houses get left with so much crap all over.
