25 Year Abandoned American House - Family Treasure Found in Backyard! 

This makes me so sad you can tell there was some real love there once, wish their belongings were taken care of too

I don't know if anyone else picked up on this, but the car is from the 70's, and the microwave was from the 70's. There was also no color film in the 50's. I would say there were people living in the house until the mid 70's.

Lesley, you are such an elegant man. We Americans love you. I could sense that the house loved you as well. You show such respect for not only the house but the one time occupants of the house. I sense that the occupants were killed in a car accident. 😮

Very beautiful house all that dolls I remember me I was 7year old now I’m 63 years old I still remember thank you so much for sharing it I fallow at you I love your videos we love too God bless

10:05 That Sharp Carousel microwave is from the early 80s

This house was once a stately "craftsman". It's not too far gone to restore but it would be an act of love not a financial investment. Thank you again for sharing a glimpse of the past. RE: the shower combined with the tub, I don't know if this is true for all Americans but some women bathe & wash their hair in the tub then use the shower to rinse off with clean water. Has anyone else heard of that?

Fun fact. If you ever go back to cold places, you could try to wear "long johns". I can't do without them when it's -10°C and I have to stay outside more than 15 min. I know very well what you mean when you said " It's freezing ". Haha.

I would say 1970's or early 1980's. The cars, ziploc bags, photos in color, hairstyles. The stitched embroidery is lovely over the fireplace. All the photos, it's so sad! Seals and Croft album my parents had. Electrolux vacuum, made in the USA. Thank you Leslie for the respect you give the house.

As you say, it is very emotional. …let's think that all of this had life at the time…. Your series of videos is very good 👍🏼🙏🏻

Lesley, I love your videos and the passion you have for these old things. You said this house is in Delaware. What city? I was born and raised there. You mentioned fishing village so I imagine you were downstate near the beaches. I lived in Wilmington as a child and in Newark as an adult. I have one request of you. Please don't take the lords name in vain, it is a sin in Christianity of which Jesus is the basis. Thanks in advance for that.

I believe this home was likely last lived in sometime in the 90's. I noticed alot of decorative ducks which were an item in the 90's. The hairdo of the young lady on the dresser in master bedroom was a Farah Fawcett style hairdo, and that hairdo became notorious back in the 70's. But, it became notorious again back in the 90's when it was referred to as the "Rachel". I believe this pad was likely last lived in sometime back in the early 90's. Last but not least. I absolutely loved that beautiful master bedroom. And the furniture was beautiful. The wood on the walls. You could never imagine what some of the other rooms in the house looked like, after viewing those two beautiful bedrooms. Another question we are always left with, "What happened to the family that at one time called this beautiful decaying house theor humble abode??" Thanks for sharing, Leslie and hopefully you didn'tget frost bite. Carry those packets that can be crushed and bring warmth out. Put them in your socks, gloves, etc. They sell them at Walmart and most convenient stores.

If you read the description, it says the place was occupied until 1999

Muito emocionante, lindo e também triste. Sempre que assisto vídeos de casas abandonadas comparo essas casas à imagem da mãe acolhedora, cuidadosa, carinhosa que foi esquecida pelos familiares e nunca mais foi visitada. Eu vejo isso em cada detalhe da decoração, flores, quadros, loucas, bordados. A presença da mãe, das mulheres dessas casas sempre é mais evidente.

It's an uneasy feeling when people just disappear and no information about them

I’m getting total 70s vibes not 50s. I believe the older woman in the photo frame was probably the owner while the younger lady looks to me like a high school graduate from the 70s. I don’t know I could be wrong but I am a child of the 70s/80s. Very nice video. I also had the 2nd doll from the left when I was a child.

Oh Lesley, my heart is in my mouth every time you go on those risky floors ❤ I Pray for your safety in all you do ❤🙏❤

Electrolux is Swedish actually. So yeah you can find it in Europe ☺️ love the video 👍👍👍

The curved windows most beautifully designed 😮

Hard to see so many memories left behind, especially so many that must have so much meaning, like letters, photographs, books, and toys. Thank you for sharing.

The home was a beauty.I really like all the built ins.The layout of the house was nice too. The cars seat you called sofa seat we called it bench seats,and back then the vehicles were made of metals and were very heavy and to ride in them was so quiet and smooth,especially the luxury car Cadillac.Wonderful vehicle.Not a lot of people could afford a car like that back then,so these people had money.The home was lovely,sad now such a waste.❤️👍🇺🇸

I never thought in all my life that I would see frozen crochet squares 😅

Good decision Lesley about not going down those stairs to the basement.

You do give these abandon places existence and the people(s) an eternal rest!!!! When I go I hope (you or someone like you) might let the world know that I existed too!!!!

Fascinating. How isolated from other homes was this place? Glad you didn’t go into the basement!

I believe it is an artdeco style house. There are a lot of things that leads me to believe they were there at least in the 70s. The pics, the Buick and the decor

California in the house ✌️

the curved window decorated with all the beautiful ornaments simply awesome!!

And perhaps there maybe a family member out there somewhere in the world a distant cousin or someone who may remember the family you do a great job on sharing the story and thank you for that 🙏😊♥️

Hello, I'm late, but so excited to enter into another beautiful place with my favorite explorers. I'll watch again so I can catch the beginning. Thanks for sharing these beautiful places ❤️

I like this kind of history

I love how you feel so deeply for the family and who they might have been. Your gentle and compassionate comments are very meaningful. Thank you for caring so much. You are an empath, like me.

Hey Lesley, How lovely to see again a video from Bros of Decay with such an interesting and fascinating background story! The room in the picture is looking so untouched and very decorative. - Of course I am especially interested to see the rare cars, as I am a big fan of the American classic cars from the 1940-ies to the 1960-ies I am already excited to see the video and hear you telling us about the secrets of that abandoned house somewhere in the USA. Stay safe, my friend, peace and kindest regards from again quite suny and warm Switzerland.

That’s very great to do they do need to be remembered

This is vintage 1970s. No one has added anything after that it seems. What a time capsule!❤

I can't believe you are walking on that upstairs floor you are brave

Whoever saved the 1954 calendar might have saved it because he/she was born that year? Seals and Crofts was 70s. The microwave seemed modern, maybe early 80s? I can't understand why people would leave behind photographs. To me they're one of our most precious possessions in an ever changing world. Our family lost so many photos during a hurricane back in the 60s. My dad was heartbroken. He loved taking pictures and it was a great loss to him.

Ontem assisti o vídeo desta casa ,mas com um outro RU-vidr, hoje vou assistir contigo,porq gosto muito de teu trabalho.

This seems like an amazing location for sure! Its sad to see so many personal belongings and relics left behind just to rot. Keep up the good work! 🔥

I'm sad how a family can leave their home so quickly and lose everything 😢

Always a wonderful time! Thanks guys!

I love your videos!! Thank you so much for the work you do.. from Ohio USA.. 💗

Gracias por compartir todos éstos lugares que quedan en el olvido son encantadores y nostálgicos nos trasladan a esas épocas .

Que casa aconchegante imagino como essa família viveu é foram felizes nesse lar uma pena a família não cuidar deixar tudo abandonado suas lembranças

This home hasn’t been abandoned for that long . The people were collectors of old stuff. They hung on to their memories. I have a similar thing going on . I’ve been given belongings from great grandparents,great Aunts and Uncles. It just happens

Can't wait to see it! 🎉 I will try to tune in while at work. It looks so interesting 🎉

I was so excited when i saw that you could go upstairs! What a beautiful home, even with the icicles 🥶. Thanks for being a brave and frozen explorer, I appreciate your enthusiasm and dedication! ❤

Thank you Leslie! As always, you show an incredible amount of respect. Please be careful! Amazing your are able to get around as you do! Be safe!

Ê muito estranho deixar isso tudo pra trás sem dar um destino adequado a tantos objetos, e não guardar as lembranças como fotos, cartas ou alguna peça de roupa! 🇧🇷🍀🌻

That microwave is from 1986. It is a Sharp Carousel II

Old people never just leave all their possessions like this. Older generations were/are very particular about their stuff. They organise/sell and give away or put it into storage. So it would be fair to say the last occupant here died suddenly. Or went straight from hospital into a nursing home, permanently. And never got to sort their house. This happens all the time. People! get your photographs and treasured stuff to younger relatives far earlier. Becos fact is, people often die suddenly, even in their late 40’s, 50’s.

Bylo by krásné se podívat na opuštěný místa po letech jestli ještě stále stojí,a skusit najít jaké pozůstalé příbuzné těch lidí, jinak super video moc semi líbilo

Beautiful family story with a very sad ending, I'm sorry 😢

There are pictures in the house that dictate they were living there in the 1970's

You certainly put a lot of effort in such videos. Thank you for sharing so much history. I have been following you for oveer a year and you neveer disappoint. By the way, it is very sweet that you blow us a kiss at the end of the video, but I get terribly worried that the dust and mould on your gloves touches your lips or affect your lungs. Please be careful !

We're all just passing through. We get our allotted time, then that's it. All we take with us, are our memories. Make the most of the time you are given.

The car covered with snow is a mid 1960's(1965?) Lincoln Continental and the one in the car port is a late 1980's Ford LTD.

You are so sweet! Thank you for this nice video! You have a special gift for bringing the past to life.

Esos lugares me dan tanta paz e inspiración.

Parabéns por seus vídeos! Essas pessoas parecem abraçadas num último adeus...❤

Thank you for this 1 of a kind Time Capsule:) This home is wonderful to see thank you for lettin me walk next to you.Hope to see the next video wonder what is next? Love Ya Leslie .

Muchas gracias por compartir estas vivencias y descubrimientos tan fascinantes. Siempre me llama la atención estas casas tan llenas de cosas como si estuvieran esperando a sus dueños de un momento a otro. Esta casa es curiosa porque estando abandonada hace tanto tiempo y con hielo en algunas zonas, tiene algunas partes muy bien conservadas y con buena apariencia, como el baño y el dormitorio que aparece al final, que es precioso.

Hi, Lesley, at 24:44, it sounded like there was another explorer in there with you as you can hear them moving about. If not...that's a bit spooky! What a lovely old house! I like the way the plumbing is on the top of the wall, much easier to fix and they thought like me, "well, it's there, why not make a feature of it! Lol! Thanks so much for this amazing explore and I hope you eventually got nice and warm at your hotel!

Really a pity. It seems to me that there was a lot of sadness in that house, or at least in the way it was abandoned. Very sad. A kiss in your heart

Boa noite seus vídeo são incríveis desejo sucesso CASA belíssimo e mobilha

The front picture of the house looks just like the one from A Christmas Story 🎄!!

eu amo esses vídeos são emocionantes demais é uma viagem ao passado.

Hi, I'm a new subscriber and this is the first video of yours I've watched. The first room you entered, after the kitchen, would be called a breakfast nook, the other dining room would have been called the formal dining room. In the lounge room, with that amazing fireplace, I think you'll find the photo of the lady you referred to as a grandmother, is actually the lady of the house, most likely taken after her husband passed away. A lot of the more recent photos look like they would be her grandchildren. I had a giggle, when you said peacock lamp, it's actually a rooster 🐓 😊. When you climb or descend stairs, don't step right in the middle, instead step close to the sides, as the sides are stronger and therefore safer. The young man, in the graduation photo, is Kenneth (it's the only word I could read, lol). I thoroughly enjoyed your video and look forward to watching many more. Stay safe and happy travels. Blessings from Australia. 🌻🌻

Beautiful place but so sad that its so dekaed you can feel the warm family atmosphere

There are three glass shades sitting on the dining tables & a chimney sitting on the shelf in the second dining room. I wonder where the lamps are? Also, there is a Dasani water bottle on the desk. That’s pretty recent (not the 50’s). I would love to get into this place & rescue what is still salvageable.

어느 노래 가사처럼 사람은 가도 옛날은 남는것. 참~쓸쓸합니다.

Thanks for showing us this beautiful house sad but beautiful I wonder if they have great grandchildren who can come and collect the beautiful memories

I love the afgan on the beds. They are beautiful. Wonder if the small side of the pillars was an addition to the house? Thank you for the videos. You are dearly loved too.

That green clock with the birds on it I have, it was a Christmas gift in 1997 from an employee of mine at that time, each hour whatever bird was there, would chirp the time!

Now this guy knows how to go thru the abandoned forgotten homes in decay. That he respects the property & its contents he shows compassion for those folks who lived there. So many stories and memories frozen in time. I appreciate you post these for those of us who love this & wish could walk thru the time capsule's but can't. Keep exploring those lost places and treasures for us we truly enjoy your story telling!! ❤ THANK YOU

Those pots in the sink were called Vision pots and are from the 1980 my family had them

Increible de ver el tiempo detenido completamente en esa casa ! Cuantos recuerdo congelados"en el tiempo ! Es triste ver en tan poco momentos de un video tanta historia de vida ! Saludos !!!!

Maravillosa exploración impecables tus relatos,y un lugar muy bello

Deborah is correct. The vehicles do look very 1970’s. Also, Leslie should consider wearing a mask in these old US houses. There was tons of asbestos and led used throughout in the insulation and paint.

I'm from Brazil. Amei as cortinas desta casa. I love your vídeos. ❤

Those cross stitch pictures are beautiful and very valuable for historic reasons.

j'ai simplement adoré ta vidéo n'empêche que j'étais inquiète pour toi. c'est triste comment les gens peuvent quitter leur maison, merci pour tous les vidéos que tu fais avec bcp d'amour.

Hola Lesley otro maravilloso video !! Cuantas cosas quedaron abandonadas en esa casa y tiene mucha presencia femenina en ella me encanto !! Y mi parte favorita cuando te despides 😊 ILove you 😘

I think the last time someone lived there must of been 90s or 2000s. The plastic totes are newer. The pictures look like the 80s. The toys look 80s.

Pretty sure this home was last lived in in the early 90s. For example, the Foodlion dish soap. While there were a couple of Foodlion stores prior, the majority were built in the early 90s. Foodlion is still a prominent grocery store here on the east coast. Pictures shown look very 80s to 90s.

That is a craftsman house. So sad to see it in this shape.

It’s sad that no one seems to know what has happened to the family and all their belongings just there to slowly rot

I would give anything to do what you do, I've never been outside my home state and it saddens me to know that I'm missing out on so much, 36 years old and absolutely no adventures in my life (not even romance 💔)

Bendiciones para ti , saludos desde Argentina ❤

와우~~ 고즈넉한 풍경에 엔틱란 분위기 넘 좋아요 😍

Hi love to see you again in this new adventure

Fantastic house great find .

Parabéns pelo ótimo trabalho! Na minha opinião o melhor canal no RU-vid de exploração.

émouvante trouvaille cette maison en presque ruine ,quelle tristesse !

That is very kind of you to share their story and memories. ❤

Sayang banget ya yg pgn punya rumah blum ksampean2 yg udh punya rumah d tgl bgitu saja kalo bisa kasihkn k org yg ga punya rumah jd ga mubazir😊

Sad the house is left to fail apart thanks for video i enjoyed watching

I too have messaged Leslie and kindly asked Him to refrain from using the Lord's name in vain. I pray that one day soon He will come to the Lord.🙏

É sensacional seus vídeos. Estou encantada com tanta residência abandonadas. Mas o certo é que deste mundo nada se leva, só as lembranças lembranças

I love your videos! The architecture of this house looks exactly like a house I just did a walk through in. The pillars and curved window are an exact match ❤️
