    Growing up and living in Dayton I often feel sad seeing some of the absolutely beautiful architecture that's just fading away due to neglect. Especially while in the meantime they keep building new developments. 🙁

      i feel you. videos like this make me so happy. seeing people preserving the memory of these beautiful structures that are forgotten to time or construction makes me so unspeakably happy.

I would have hugged that all the way to my house, along with the red dress, placed delicately in a dress box, with a card explaining it's owner. There must be family *somewhere.* There must be somebody responsible for that house. Oh, well. The biography was very appreciated. Seeing the face of the owner who lived there, even better.

    Excellent video - you are one of the better videographing explorers.
    But I can always find something to complain about: When you asked about the big hole in the second floor, I was guessing that it was a chimney and fireplaces, but I don't know. If you would've panned up and shown what looked to be a hole in the ceiling/roof, I might've been able to tell if the void was for a chimney. Though an absence of bricks at the bottom might indicate otherwise. Floor might've just rotted from the roof leaking above it.

    Such a shame people can't just look and not trash the place. My Aunt had a place in Michigan built in 1948 I think. I took care of it for about 45 years after she passed away. Was like going back in time. So sad in one way and great memories at the same time.

    This house just sold 11/10/2022 for $35,500 and sits on .44 acres! I can remember coming home from work and seeing an older lady park her minivan in the drive and near the road and walk to the house and I'm sure she was the last resident.

    Hey just an idea but you should make solid close up shots of all the kinds of wallpaper you find in these places to save the unique prints and floral patterns before they will be lost forever,. You may even have that printed into a book down the line for the avid art collector. You will have something truly unique there ! I for one would be interested to revisit and feast my eyes on these random prints from who knows when

    the bug in the garage is a 1973 super beetle much like the one parked in front of my house currently. as for the big hole in the middle of the house,i believe from what i saw and deduced to be where the main fireplace stood. i could only guess that it was made of something very desirable like cut stone

    I have a home built in 1840 that looks similar to this one. Is there any way to contact the owner of this house? If they are going to raze this house in the future, I would like to buy the windows before the house is destroyed as we have those same old windows and could use some replacements.

    I was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio. I still live North of the city. Very nice historical home. My house is a 1939 brick Cape Cod. Now this house raises the hair on ma back thar. Seems a little haunted. Go there at midnight and 2 am. Put cameras up inside Watch, Wait, and see (((QQ))))))

    The VW Bug was most likely mid 70s. I can tell due to the front bumper and the amber running lights on the front. I live in an old house in Dayton. A lot of times the foundation walls are soft brick, that and or termites can exasperate sag like that.

    When people made their living from farming, they tended to have lots of children to help with the chores, so they had to have larger homes. After the Depression, people didn't have the money for larger homes, so they tended to cram their families into smaller homes. I grew up in a 960 square foot house with no basement or garage. There were my parents and three kids in that space
