Beautiful 152 year old Abandoned Mansion in Tennessee *Incredible Woodwork

- This beautiful house was built in the late 19th century around 1860-1870. Lots of grand details and woodwork still left but a lot has been taken unfortunately like the newel post at the bottom of the stairs. You can find another video on this house on RUclips from when it still had the full bannister. Unfortunately a large housing development is encroaching around the house and soon the home will be torn down for a new subdivision. The home was for sale for a while but it seems the land around it was more valuable. Thanks for watching!
It's a absolute shame that the old homes like this one is not protected for historical purposes!! The woodwork is just amazing. I truly hope that someone doing the demolition can see the value & save the woodwork etc instead of just destroying it!! Fantastic job and great find. Thanks Kappy for sharing this with us.
It is a lot of work and very expensive. I did remodeling and renovation for 50 years. Now a days it is cheaper to tear it down a build a new one. This one is not that bad though because it was built right in the first place. Just some water damage that they need to deal with.
That's the problem actually they do have protections. If you buy it you can only use the most expensive paints you can NOT ALTER THEIR APPEARANCE. (until the state wants to tear it down of course)
They made it so they are impossible to buy and renovate unless you're rich and rich people want new things.. 💯 💯 It is really sad 💯
The woodwork, the finish carpentry cost as much as the basic house. The house was $3,000 and all the woodwork was $3,000. So a house cost $6,000 before WW2 and they went up to $12,000 after the war for just a basic house with no woodwork in it.
The only thing that is protected in so called amurika which is in the center of the world is just another pro jelly lubricant and left hand right next to it
it has to be declared in historic places if someone is interested they can get an injuction to stop til you can prove history
It's upsetting that *this* will be torn down to make way for sub-par, cardboard and plastic housing. Thank you for the documentation, Kappy.
I agree.
I would hope that someone would restore it as it was. Maybe a future bed and breakfast.
I would love to go visit this place before it gets torn down but don't know where it is ..
@Repent or you will likewise perish. a1
Let’s Go Brandon…
That home cost a lot of money to build back in the day. The craftsmanship is beautiful.
It's not really individualized craftsmanship though, the scroll work and detailing would all come out of a catalogue mass produced in a factory and shipped to the site. But at least it was real wood, and it's a shame it's being torn down.
@@venus_envy I would have to disagree with you. In that era when building, a lot of people had wood workers on side with a lathe, carving piece by piece. Where I come from in Canada anyway. Might be different down state.
I'm surprised the historical society didn't stop this house from being torn down. It's in great shape to be so old. What a waste of such beauty.
@@rosegarza676 there was a lot of land as well and may have been too much for any living Family member to contend with, if any Family is living or even interested.
Look what happened to the Hearst Castle. It’s protected but the younger generation let it go. Sad.
@@brandonwhitehouse235 Canada wasn’t an industrialized nation like the US in the 1800s. America just milled these parts in wood factories and shipped it to ur house. Granted it’s nice wood but technically we could still do this today if we wanted
I'm renovating a 1906 house in east central Indiana. The bones of the house are solid and original. It will be a very liveable home for the 21st Century but will still retain the feel of the turn of the last century. When it's finished I don't know what I'll do with it. I don't plan to rent it or sell it. I just want to enjoy it for a while. It gives me so much pleasure to see it blossom again. I have such a good feeling when I'm in the house and especially when I'm in the back yard enjoying the view from under the 120-year-old Magnolia tree. We should keep some of the best from our past for our children to see and touch. I believe it makes them feel secure.
It's a crime to tear this down. Hopefully, they will be salvaging the amazing wood work. Homes like these...a dying art. It breaks my heart.
I know:( I wish architecture was still like this
While I see your point I get the impression you have never lived in one of these. Victorian architecture was crude, clumsy, very cold, inconvenient and weird. It's better to just go to the local Victorian house museum in your town (one day in summer) and then go home to your 1995 2,000 square foot home. Trust me on this. One more thing, restoration of Victorian homes is a giant money vacuum cleaner like you cannot imagine.
@@jamesdavis727 sadly, that's your personal take on it. For some of us, clumsy, weird, crude and cold is the way to go.
speaking of "crimes" im I the Only one who see a Blood stain on the Bed at 944 ?
Me too, I've thought of going back for a degree in historic preservation
Sad to hear such a gorgeous house will be torn down...what a work of perfection.I'm glad I was able to view it.Thank you
Really broke my heart seeing the massive new subdivision being built along what was once the houses driveway up too it! Only a matter of time now sadly! Thank you for watching! :)
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 was anything salvageable?
@@taylorrice8612 The whole house could have been salvaged and moved.
Would love to have 10 million dollars and another lifetime to bring this old lady back to life, thanks for sharing your adventures 🙋🏻♂️
Me too!
Yeah wouldn’t we all , I’d settle for the new lifetime
It wouldn’t require 10 million. Probably 75k in renovations if someone did some of the work themselves and the big work for pros. Then it would probably be worth a couple million at minimum, depending on specs in area, amount and quality of land and location. Be a great Bed and Breakfast.
Hi Mike from Mary Mcnabb!!!
There's a house just like this near my house. It sat vacant for around 20 years and is just now getting refurbished.
Such a beautiful old home! Its tragic how a lot of people today don't appreciate these quality, historic old places! The new homes that are being built today all look alike..no charm, no charecter and are not built to last. I wish someone could save all these old homes! Thank you for sharing these places, Kappy- I can tell you love them as much as I do!
its seems like a palace in heaven .
how calm life could be spend there .
i love it so much .❤❤❤
I would literally cry seeing this home torn down. So sad that no one has an interest is preserving our history. This house is gorgeous! The architecture is stunning!
I've thought of going back to school for historic preservation
Most Americans are too lazy and fat to recycle anything. Its sad
Makes you wonder how many feet ran through,played walked slept,loved,cried, enjoyed,loved this place,how much history and stories it would tell.Beyond beautiful,loved the lattice on the walls,stained glass.In ignorance the developers don't see the value and workmanship in there,only cardboard homes will be built there,and nothing that will last a hundred and fifty years from now!! Had I won a lottery it would be mine,great find,thanks kappy!!!
It was remarkable seeing the curlers on the bathroom counter and the little choir programme on the bed like someone was there at one point reading it and just left it in the bed.
They would have to fix that staircase. Someone could seriously break their necks trying to climb it!😩
I live in a C. 1889 Victorian house in Maryland. On the walls of the back steps, are pictures of the family that built the house. Research was done on the family, and on the back of the pics are whomthe person is, DoB etc. Really really neat to have. Plus, we found initials catches in a kitchen window. I love old homes.
HOW COULD ANYONE TEAR DOWN SUCH A MASTERPIECE!!!!😭😭😭😭
ITS STUNNING!!!!
I agree!
It's a romantic notion to save all these houses. But it's not that easy and some are just not able to be saved. I've renovated a few of these houses and it is always problematic and extremely expensive.
I don't know how anyone could tear this piece of history down !!! And it looks in great shape .
It's sad where were the property owners?
@@johnskinner5206 he said it’s getting torn down for a new development, property owners probably sold it to the developers.
I don't understand why so much History is being torned and destroyed. It seems people don't want to be reminded the 20th century is here and we need to know how those before us lived.So we can learn how to survive the hard ships of today.
@@nickwebb9937 THE owners are money hungry..I would have lived in it protecting it tell the end..would NEVER BEEN SOLD.
Me neither lots of things going on in this world all we can do is keep faith in God keep marching on God bless you
What an absolutely stunning house. It's absurd they won't just restore it an incorporate it into the development. It's in great shape for an abandoned house. I love imagining how beautiful it must have been in its heyday, or around the holidays. Thanks for the great video.
They're probably getting rid of it because it would make all the new houses in the development look like crap by comparison.
why bother to restore it? this House is probably Haunted.
that's why No one wants it.
@@MetalHeart8787 big facts, it’s cool n all but nope that fucker is definitely haunted any house that looks like this is haunted or it wouldn’t have been abandoned for years
@@MetalHeart8787 bulshit id love to have that!
I was just there today and it’s in way worse condition than it is in this video… on the outside at least
That house is worth being painstakingly taken and reset among breathtaking gardens. Wow, only 5 minutes in and I’m in need of smelling salts. It’s not ridiculously ornate, just simply wonderful. It stands on its own. Whomever designed it was brilliant. That is a home to be lived in. ✨✨✨✨✨
Let me ask you…. How much do you think it would cost to revive that house & redo the outside lawn/garden?
Why didn't they relocate this home. What a shame, beautiful! Thank you.
What a beauty she once was. I would put a big Christmas tree in that area going upstairs. You do such a good job showing us these houses. Thank you!
I just saw this house on 2 other explores channels. They must've been there before you because I didn't any graffiti there. Also, there is a family graveyard on the property. Tombstone on a child that died at 6 years of age.
Such a crime that this house is being torn down. Hopefully, at least, a salvage company will come in and save woodwork, stain glass, etc.
Who owns this land?What a beautiful house.hard to believe no one wanted it
Hopeful, but doubtful.
It would be such a shame if they didn't at least get the beautiful fireplaces and doors out.
I'm sure things r being salvaged. Worth big bucks. I love old houses like this. Wish I was a billionaire. Lol. Shame.
@@paulasoutchek3747 i know..if only :)
This is a dream home for me!!!Truly a shame to tear down! Absolutely beautiful wood work!!❤️
If it's such a dream home to you, you should've purchased it and moved into the Texas Chainsaw style basement for a couple days, you'd then realize what a POS this place has degenerated into.
Heartbreaking that these historical homes aren’t kept up and preserved. The woodwork is amazing. I love everything about these homes. Today they slap homes together with no fine details.. I don’t think there’s any home built today that would last this long or anywhere near this long. Tragically sad to tear this masterpiece down to put up another housing tract smh
If it's so heartbreaking to you, you should've purchased it and moved into the basement for a couple days, you'd then realize what a POS this place has degenerated into, at least modern tract homes have a real foundation that will outlast this Texas Chainsaw site.
@@DG-sf9ei No they don't. This house and it's peers have good foundations or the house wouldn't be there. These modern crackerbox pieces of shit don't hold up.
Oh WOW!! I love seeing the home's they built back in the day. What a work of art
This house is just breathtaking. I love how it still holds the original woodworking. For it to be abandoned it really held up well. It really sucks that it is being torn down stuff like this should be protected.
I agree!
If it's so breathtaking to you, you should've purchased it and moved into the basement for a couple days, you'd then realize what a POS this place has degenerated into.
@@DG-sf9ei Hmm. You sure seem obsessed with your fear of basements.
@@DG-sf9ei stop copy paste the same reply ...
@@DG-sf9ei WHO CARES ????
Hey Kappy . Luckily I have had the pleasure of working on and refurbishing many old homes of this quality . In my area this style of architecture is called Gingerbread . Most all were built by German Craftsmen . Hundreds of man hours went into building this magnificent home . This home looks structurally sound and could be fairly simple to be livable again . What a Grand home ! Thanks Brother ,,,,,,
@M.J.G. Yes. The Queen Anne homes with the turrets are Lovely! The gingerbread work is intricate but I tend to find less is more with it. I like ones with a bit maybe as accent on porches, not so much inside.
I don't think you can tell from this video how structurally sound it is or how simple it would be to make it livable again.
Crazy thing I saw. Tornado ripped through an area close to my town. Many of the newer homes received tons of damage. A older historic home on the outskirts was directly hit by it and other than some of the woodwork on the porch and roof we're torn off. Just goes to show how much pride people took in their work back then. I genuinely wish I could experience life and times back in the day when everything didn't move so fast
@@Bl913 God me too, I was telling my husband . Would if we went and incorporated an old small town and made it a cell phone and internet free zone. Nobody says it is s illegal to not have cell pp hones and Internet. Of course landlines and cable tv would be ok. No technology zero. People would love it
Imagine the life that house has seen. Gorgeous.
Wow I’m that much into old homes, and yes alot of them are beautifully restored but, I rarely can picture myself living in them. This one is beautiful, the amount of light that is in most parts of this house is gorgeous. The bones of the house seem to be in phenomenal condition, and that is one of the prettiest woodwork I have ever seen. This place mostly needs restoration and a kitchen remodel. Just a gorgeous house!
Yeah I get you, I could definitely live here. Also, it’s in relatively great shape. Or it was before they tore it down to build matchboxes.
I'm really into old houses and imagine myself living in all I see in my hometown it has sooo many old historic homes Victorian and brick style. This house is literally my dream home and I was imagining the whole time I watched this video lol.
@@Jazzygirl5 , heck yea Norm and "This Old House" could come in and put that house back right! No doubt it would be wonderful to see fully restored. What I find so sad is when people try to "update" older homes like this as we saw the kitchen was so different, then later you had that drop-ceiling which makes me wonder if someone tried to convert the room to an "office" space... I've seen many explorer vids where homes/buildings were "updated" with walls/ceilings that were so ugly and then when you look behind them and find real craftsmanship with various designs in woodwork, pillars, ceiling trim etc. It's just that it's old, discolored or in slight disrepair...
A lot.
Thanks so much for recording this house. Your film may well be the only record of this home's interior. A stunning number of major historic building have been destroyed, and continue to be destroyed, without having been properly photographed. This house was probably of state-wide importance, and possibly national importance. Considering the huge profits the developer will make, it is a sin that they did not move this home, which would have been surprisingly affordable.
The surviving mantel's ornament and form were inspired by the remarkable English designer Christopher Dresser (4 July 1834 - 24 November 1904).
You are absolutely correct, this was a home worth saving.
This is pure greed at it most destructive. I'll bet the investors recycle their trash, while destroying this house.
We are going to leave our children a world closely resembling an unflushed toilet.
It is sooo beautiful and is in fairly good shape. I hate to think that it is not being saved!
Well said! I really can't stand greedy developers that destroy history & eat up land. When all the trees are cut down, lets see them try to breathe concrete! So sad & disgusting.
I absolutely love your enthusiasm Kappy! So refreshing to see a young man enjoy the old houses! Maybe there would be more if younger folks enjoyed them as much… I have to agree with you this house was amazing! DEFINITELY in my top 3 you’ve explored!!!! Really looking forward to the upcoming videos! Tell Ruby hi 👋 Thank you Kappy!
Glad you enjoy! Have some really great ones coming soon too! Thank you for watching and the kind words! :)
Good point, kids are living in all white, no character houses these days. :(
My sister owns my grandparents farm. Its hers, out and out, so I really shouldn't complain and I dont. But... when I was a kid I loved that place, wood paneling, Grams knitting and crochet work everywhere, fire place crackling. I would watch black and white cowboy movies with my grandfather after big meals and it was a challenge in that place to not slip into an oh so comfortable sleep.
And it had ghosts. But in a good way, they knew us, there wasnt a hostile vibe at all.
My sister works among the ritch yuppies in the high end towns much removed from where we live, they have their homes decorated white, cold, and often black marble and such. Good for them, but to me these stark white houses are cold and uninviting.
So in wanting to be like the folks on the hill she has redecorated the old farm in the image of the new style, I hate it. I dont go there anymore. I dont want to hurt her feelings, I just dont talk about it.
Old houses, and particularly old farm houses have a real " homey" vibe that is hard to produce with cash.
I’m 30 and wish I had the money to buy an old Victorian home! Craftsmanship is amazing, shows how far we’ve gone away from it. You look at the homes from then and look at the ones now and can’t help but think what happened?! Absolutely a beautiful home.
@@AshleyL1991 Wish more young people thought like you. ❤
The woodwork on the 1st floor was in pristine condition. Agree with you that this house should not be torn down. At least remove all the woodwork & stain glass to be used elsewhere. It's a shame there is no appreciation for this type of craftsmanship. Excellent find Kappy! Cheers
Thanks for posting this, sir! It's nice to see young folks taking an interest and appreciating the craftsmanship of these fine old gems.
So beautiful. I bought a 120 year old home before I got married, but there was not this much detail. The house looked much like this one except just one level. The entire back wall of the kitchen was burned out by a previous renter. It had twelve foot ceilings and an original fireplace. It was only four large rooms but it had so much potential. It took almost a year to restore it with what I could afford by working two jobs. It 's still standing now and I pass it daily. It has been beatifully preserved.
I totally agree with you Kappy. There is no reason for this house to be torn down. Its absolutely incredible. So sad to hear that its being demolished :o( The woodwork alone is exquisite throughout the house. Please stay safe in these places when your alone. You never know who you will come across. Great camera work. Thanks for the tour :o)
What a beautiful home!! Instead of thinking the fireplace mantels are stolen, they are saved and appreciated in a new home. I sure hope they allow someone to come in and take all the beautiful woodwork, etc. Love and appreciate your videos!! 🌞
Wowza! That place was amazing! All the interior wood needs to be salvaged. Beautiful doors. At about 14 minutes, it looks like a vulture on the rooftop! Thanks Kappy! ✌️
Thank you for watching!! :)
Our Victorian era home also has two beautiful staircases. Both can be seen from the front foyer. Woodwork is similar also. Our home was lovingly cared for through the years, thankfully. We also have five huge crystal chandeliers and several smaller ones (guess who gets to clean them-and with 12 foot ceilings it gets a little scary). We have 6 fireplaces-three of which are very ornate. I absolutely love these historical homes and it’s really heartbreaking to see ones that were once so beautiful falling into ruin. It’s a lot of hard work cleaning them and the upkeep is constant but worth it-at least until I get too old to do it!
Historical Societies are usually involved in preserving these old homes. The style we are looking at here is Queen Anne. One of the characteristic's of Queen Anne architecture is the Turret, that rounded series of small rooms. and the curvature of the surround on the covered front porch. The wood work over the door leading to the second staircase, is known as a spandrel, and all of the glass about the doors are known as transoms. This home would have been a glory to see in it's day before it was allowed to fall into disrepair. There are a great many of this style in Upstate New York as well as in Brockville , Canada, across the river near the Johnstown Bridge. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing.
I have to admit, this was hard to watch knowing it was going to be torn down. Incredibly sad. And all for some horrible development. Could just cry! It gives really good vibes too, like it saw a lot of happy family living within it's walls. Houses like this will never be built again. I just pray all the woodwork and doors and gingerbread inside and out will be salvaged. What a damned crime! Thanks for sharing Kappy.
If the walls could talk !!😔
That foyer was magnificent! I know people say large foyers are impractical but I love the feeling and can imagine the air flow through the home. You’ve got a some great one upcoming. The tree at the end! Thanks as always. ❤️
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the tree shots! Something so mesmerizing about Spanish moss blowing in the wind!
I pictured a young lady coming down the stairway in a magnificent gown as perhaps a gentleman caller has arrived to take her some where or just to visit?
Certainly, there should be a petition that could be done to save this home. With the right people and investments, this home could be a very gorgeous one. It is such a shame that we live in an era that no longer cares about our history. This house should be protected by Nashville's Historic District.
People with that kind of money can build a larger house built to suit. I think most of those are ugly.
AMEN. SHOULD BE FIXED UP..BED & Breakfast. Hotel .Office spaces..just to name a few..with the history of the place. Could have paid for the upkeep. Look a Biltmore in east Tennessee. Those owners are crazy..They had a fortune to sell. For penny's on a dollar.
Look at Built More Estate in East Tennessee
Exactly
I agree. This country has zero respect for history or antiques.
Thank you for sharing! That home is beautiful! I hope someone comes in and does architectural salvage. There are so many beautiful pieces there! Those massive pocket doors are gorgeous! I wish so many beautiful homes didn't have to be torn down to make way for cookie cutter houses! This place has character!!
@ Julie Davis, It is sad to destroy something so beautiful. If this house was restored the intended land and housing developments on the property would probably be worth much more. Can you imagine how wonderful it would be to own a home like this one? It's a real beauty. You'd be surprised at how many beautiful places there are, in Tennessee, that are destroyed for nothing but greed.
You did an amazing job filming and documenting this beautiful home. I heard the same emotion and awe in your voice that I have felt when having the privilege of entering one of these ancient beauties. Your steady hand was much appreciated. Many of these documentaries cause motion sickness with the bobbing and weaving! Thank you for sharing this!
Fun fact, my husband’s grandmother and her family owned this. She lived there as a kid. The family farm is right up the road from there.
Im in australia but have beautiful friends in Kentucky who want me to immigrate. I would have bought that beauty if i was in USA. Its gorgeous...so light and airy with a good feel to it.
That’s cool. My thoughts were the house was haunted, any truth to my paranoia? 😁
So sad that instead of fixing up such a beautiful house with so much history people would rather tear. How heart breaking.
@ Jennifer Emma Where is this house? I'm in Nashville I would like to metal detect it before it's gone. Maybe I can find something from your husband's family for him?
so what happened to it? why'd they let it go
Kappy that is absolutely beautiful!!! I can’t believe they are tearing it down 🤬. So many beautiful features in this one.
Don't you know that was someone's paradise, so beautifully built with the hills all around. How grand it must have been when new!
yeah when it was new years ago, NOW there's most likely a person that feels the same way that is No longer alive But "visits" that House.
This is why many Dumb people buy an old ass Victorian House & then say " we didn't know it was Haunted"
The craftsmanship is amazing and the older homes are my favorites! Thank you for sharing!
Sad that they tore it down but at least you preserved the history of this beautiful building and shared it with the world
That house can never be replaced! Absolutely stunning!
It’s absolutely gorgeous. How can they tear down such a masterpiece. It drives me nuts🥹
The reason they are tearing it down is that Obiden has given us 5 milion more "citizens" and Democrat voters. The border, remember? They have to install their new voters SOMEWHERE.
@Ptolemy I am sure that Donald would agree with you, anything that makes $$..correct?
Often time tear downs are first visited by salvagers who will save the best parts and any usefully material

Such a work or art. It is so sad that these houses are just left to rot away. They have such historical value.
Agreed!
This is one of my favorite homes you’ve explored!!! Even the cringey 1970s update was enjoyable to look at-while imagining how I’d undo it to restore this beauty. Green shag carpeting and drop ceilings weren’t enough to turn me off this lovely home. And it was clearly loved on for much of its life. Such a shame it’s gone especially to make way for houses made of ticky tacky. Thank you for documenting this one before it was demolished.
All the Houses back then were AWESOME
Imagine the Christmas trees that graced that tower base through the years.
I imagined the same thing 🥰
It truly breaks my heart to see such a beautiful historical home just sitting to be torn down. It seems that everything in this world that matters is being destroyed. I love this house and would love to see it saved.
you would Buy it?
it's probably Haunted, why do you think No one wants to buy it.
I can't agree more! All about so called progress with no regard for the past or history
This would’ve been something to see when it was first built! Can you imagine how gorgeous it must’ve been? Too bad it’s in such disrepair. I never realized that the glass to the windows was also curved in these tower spaces! Beautiful works of art.
I noticed that too?
I couldn’t get over the curves windows and all the details of everything.
It's heartbreaking to see something so beautiful getting torn down for a crappy McHouse development. 😡
Absolutely beautiful. My gosh such a shame that our culture doesn’t appreciate beauty and preserve these works of architectural art.
So sad! This is a beautiful home. So much history. I would absolutely live there, restore it and cherish it❣️
See if they will sell it to you.
If they won't preserve such an amazing home-and I can't believe it isn't historically significant to the area-then they should at least salvage as much as possible of those beautiful features. Thank you for documenting it at least.
I appreciate his genuine appreciation for the craftsmanship it's a shame this is being torn down its a part of history. So beautiful
I've seen others explore this house before the banisters and fireplace were missing. There's just something about this house that feels like home. My favorite to date.
Thank you for sharing this beauty with the world before she’s gone.
It’s beautiful, I can hear the awe in your voice saying respect for the beautiful historical landmark this is , just wish it could be saved ! Love your footage of thus gorgeous home !
Tell Ruby we missed her and I have to agree with you. This is definitely in the top 10 of the houses you've shown us. The wood work is fantastic. And I really liked that landing on the 1st floor attached to the tower and stairs. At least it will be preserved forever on your video. Thank you.
It's to bad that people don't appreciate the beauty and strength in these old homes. Of all the years that I've been watching your videos, you've never once put out a bad one! You always seem to out do the last one. Thank you Kappy 😊
That is so sweet of you too say! I always appreciate your kind words Veronica! Some day I’ll have to do a giveaway or something too show how much appreciate all the nice people in this community! :)
Thanks for bringing these beautiful pieces of history to those of us that live vicariously through your explorations! I wish I had known about urban exploring 40 years ago, I would so have loved to go through these homes.
This place was beautiful and what a shame they are going to tear it down. The woodworking was gorgeous. Would love to have lived there. Thank you so much.
OMG stunning! They should build around it, restore it and make it the complex office.
What a treasure…the details are incredible. When I see historical places like this, I always wish it was possible to blink one’s eyes and be transported back in time to its heyday. Beautiful home!
It breaks my heart that this beautiful home will be torn down. Looks like it's still in good shape. Curious about whether there were back stairs to attic level.
my heart aches knowing it will be gone... I just can't tell you enough how much I appreciate your work!!! AMAZING !
Thank you! :)
I agree!
I’ve seen this house my whole life while traveling through Nashville. I’m in my late 50’s. Thanks for finally getting me inside. Sorry it hasn’t been cared for.
I was wondering where the house was.
Where is this house? I live in Nashville.
Can you share any more information on it?
It is amazing. the city could buy and allow people to film there and keep it in good shape with the money. It would take local citizens to raise kane tho and the city moved away from this rural area i figure
Why are you sorry? Did you own, then abondoned the place because the rats in the basement were bigger than you?
Such a crime to tear down such a treasure of a house, like this, down. I am glad you are doing these videos to preserve the images.
Houses and buildings had so much character back in the day! Like that song says, they paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
What a house! So glad you filmed this place before being torn down. I hope most of the beautiful woodwork will be salvaged.
Who would let such a beautiful home just rot down 🥲
Forget the new Homes. I would restore/remodel this one and live in it. It’s so beautiful! What a waste to tear it down
What a beautiful house. Thanks for documenting it before it’s gone.
That makes me so sad they would tear that down. Thanks for showing it to us!
Woodwork and those pocket doors were exquisite Kappy. A damn shame this house couldn't have been saved by someone who truly appreciated grand homes such as this. Thank you for showing us!
Definitely one of my favourite explores that you’ve done Kappy. To tear down a beautiful home with so much potential and period features should be almost criminal!
What an amazing gem you found Kappy! Thank you for sharing her with us fans!!
That woodwork is stunning, that tower bedroom would be so cool. Nice job filming this awesome old house.
Such a beautiful house it should be saved and restored to it's original condition.
Sure would be nice to see someone take this home and restore it. Very beautiful home.
What a beauty this was and could be again I'd love to restore it to it's original beauty.Ill never understand developers destroying land marks and architecture s .love it all👍❤️
Kappy, what a majestic house this must have been back in it's day, so sad that it can't be saved , the woodwork alone is worth saving it, ,it must have been really warm at one time also with all those beautiful fireplaces
What a beautiful house left to rot away...so sad. Thanks for sharing this beauty with us!!
Agreed! Thank you very much for watching!!
That house has great promise. With the right repairs, it could really be a showplace!😊
My absolute favorite house that you have explored and shared with us.. Thank you Kappy for showing us this beautiful home before it was torn down😥😥
What a grand entrance! It's a throw away world and it's a shame. If only I had enough money, I would buy some country land and move that beautiful home. Thank you for documenting such an awesome place, Kappy. Stay safe. Much ❤️
Help me Rhonda,,,,
Glad to see that you appreciate beautiful woodwork like I do. This is a dream home for me. So sad that it will soon be gone.😔
I love this house! Absolutely beautiful! The wood work and the detail are gorgeous. The layout of the house is neat too and I love the porch. So sad that it’s going to be torn down. Would be nice if it could be renovated and saved. Thanks for the explore.
This s my favorite house of Kappy’s adventure so far. I believe I made comments prior. This house is just gorgeous.
I wish this house could have been saved. It is a beautiful old house. I hope they can salvage the woodwork. Thank you for sharing this with us Sir. God bless you Sir 🙏 ♥
The structure and woodwork in this house are beautiful. It's mostly historic and should not be torn down
Lmao, yeah beautiful until you get down to the Texas Chainsaw style basement. Best thing to do with this is tear out any remaining wood stuctures ..... staircases, fireplaces, trim, doors etc, then light a match and fill the basement in with a skid steer after it's all said and done.
What a fabulous old house! I can't believe she will be gone! When my husband and I were much younger, we actually looked for charismatic vacant old homes in need of TLC, because we wanted to live in one (which we ultimately did, first house was over 100 years old, but that was a loooooong time ago now!). Anyway, she is a beauty! Thank you very much!
You always find them. Such a beautiful house, inside out. I wish you could of found the attic stairs. The tower is actually called a turret. Magnificent find.
Such a beautiful home in it's day. Breaks my heart to see it torn down. Once it's gone, it's gone forever 😢
The woodworking in this house is beautiful!!!! Thanks Kappy !!!!
My two favorite explorers are you and Urbex Canada (Brent). You guys are patient with the camera while providing down to earth commentary.
Great explore Kappy.
Yes and I also subscribe to both of those as well. Can I recommend another you may find interesting?
Exploring Abandoned Mines and Unusual Places
Along the same vein but less urban archeology and more lost western mining history/settlement.

Thank you Erick. I'll check it out.
If all your exploration videos, this one is my favorite. You captured every beautiful detail of this amazing house! Very sad that the house needs to be torn down, heartbreaking :(
What a gorgeous piece of history! I just love this house! Thanks for the tour. It really is a shame that it is being destroyed for new developments. Aaah, progress...
Thanks for the tour, love to see these old houses and imagine the lives lived in them.
Hopefully the woodwork, window frames, door frames, stained glass and other fixtures will be salvaged before tearing the place down. Beautiful craftsmanship throughout. It illustrates the fact that homes and structures must be maintained, or they will fall into disrepair. Nature will run its course and overtake everything if not maintained.
