Hey house lovers and explorers! This video I have put together 3 old places from earlier explorers that are all in the suburbs of Adelaide. Hope you enjoy, cheers for watching :-)
Omg, I totally love the archway with doorway down the hall. There are so many features of Adelaide architecture i would incorporate into my home if I were to build one! Thanks for sharing.
Wow i love the look of that pressed tin ceiling stain glass and hallway in that 1st house pitty you got to 2nd place when they were already busting up the joint, but still good to see what was there. Thanks for documenting this. Cheers MM :)
I'm glad you are documenting these homes,so other generations will get to see how homes were built and how people lived before all the modern ugly places came along To me these are very interesting and different than the old homes in the U.S.A.,but similar as well Thank you.👍❤️🇺🇸
Urbex Indigo thanks for sharing with me another awesome video Abandoned- 3 random explores around Adelaide it was a very good video about these places i really enjoyed it i am from the U.S.A and i aways enjoy every video you make. i can't wait too see your next video because i always look forward to watch your videos and thanks again for sharing this one and God Bless
I liked the press tin ceiling on the duplex home, so original to this house. The cottage was very interesting, awesome outhouse, step back in time. Like these random explores, keep up the good work Paul. 👍
The pink one! I love colorful walls, but not pink! I also have colorful walls in my apartment. The house itself was simple without Schnickschnack but you could make yourself comfortable there. Too bad nobody wants it.
The door with the stained glass in the first one was almost identical to that in a house I lived in here in the U.K. Identical glass, identical mouldings/layout on the door, identical door handle & lock/latch, built around 1900.
Stepping into places that have been abandoned and just let go to bad no has sold it or rented it out over the years but it looks like it is still looked after occasionally maybe there is a caretaker employed either the owners or estate agency but still has potential especially for the people who need a place to live.
Peace be with you, Paul! I've been watching your videos for about two years. I live where my ancestors landed on Cape Cod. It fascinates me how disposable we are with property. We neglect them; we abandon them; we fail to appreciate them. I watch another site as well [Ethan Minnie in Toronto], and I see the same waste. People who walk away from a perfectly good home because [sometimes in their wealth] they grew 'tired', or wanted something new. It's a shame with so many homeless. BTW, in your opener, you have me curious about the Singer Sewing Machine; in my youth, I worked for them as a master mechanic. The one you show is from around the 1920s. Try as I might, I couldn't read the serial number or I could have given you an accurate date. Slow down and would you cover some of the landscaping! You have some beautiful flowers, shrubs, and trees. I like the custom 'down under' of separating the 'loo' from the rest of the bath [very practical!]. Thank you.
Hi Jay M :-) Yes there is so much waste going on and people in need of housing. Glad you know about the old Singer machines as I have come across a few in my travels and always wonder what date they would be from. Thanks for watching and supporting :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 The key to the age is the letter(s) before the serial number [i.e. 'AM' is 1955, 'G' would be about 1920-1921]; of course the real company is out of business by overextending. Now the name brand sells its name on license and makes nothing! If they had stayed with sewing machines, they would still be making the sturdiest and finest machine in the industry. They also manufactured the best industrial machines for shoe manufacturing, clothes making. Singer had shops throughout the whole world. It's as sad as the abandoned or destroyed home situation. "We just don't seem to get it."
As a young boy staying at my German grandma's house in Glynde, I would run the scissors against the spokes of the Singer machine flywheel while pumping the pedal, Olga tells me to stop it or Perc (grandpa) will give me a smack
The 3rd house has the same windows as my own house but, after a friend opened the locked windows with a pen. We replaced then with aluminium up & down windows with fly screens
Thank you Paul and Michael. Just love the old homes esp part 1 and 2 of first home, really interesting. Loved the old hardware, tin ceilings, lovely fireplaces, the brass door handles wow, the transums in the old homes were wonderful and the beautiful fretwork in the hallways - love it!. Loved the curved walls and features in art deco inspired home too, so pleasing to the eye. 😊
The the second one I reckon was a workers that's why it was nothing really fancy maybe it was one of the ones that were built maybe people who were living in hardship or bills just for renting we live in a place called Nana Glen just outside of Coffs a little tiny and there was a couple of place was still getting the can man but that was 40 yo ago lol never forgotten the smell 💩❤️🐈 Melbourne Australia
There are SO many houses in Adelaide that are going to waste and there are so many people who need housing. It's just not right. I'm sure the right person could fix them up so they're rentable...
First was a lovely old example that met some hard times, the other were good examples of regular work a day places that had been around for decades.Glad you recorded them ...Cheers
love watching your video;s . i found a old home in the middle of the mojave desert in ca, house pretty much done in, but the bathroom tub I HAD TO HAVE IT, , it was 7'-6" long x 3' wide sitting on 4 , lion claw legs, the legs were in bronze , & shiny!!!, we tore into the walls , tore them down and went and got a small crane to lift it out, the company that was going to tear down the home, said take what you want, i just took the bath tub.
Thanks for the viewing of another Adelaide home! The special things they added in the first home were so beautiful. I can't believe the ceilings, tin ,you said, are still perfect! It must have been nice if the owners lived in the home, and then got money from the rental. Win- win situation! Really appreciated this one, especially.
AWESOME! that first one reminded me quite a lot of a house i grew up in - from the same time period, no doubt, which was also one half of a mazinet, in adelaide. We even still had those exact same old doorknobs on some of the bedroom doors, as well as arches and stained glass as well. great to see, very nostalgic!
There's so many things that I like in the first place like how they kept the area around the stove, the stain glass, the ceilings and the arch way in the hall. Thank you for another Explorer Paul and Michael cheers.
Good morning Paul. Another great video as always it’s a shame nice home being torn down yes some of them have to be but some do. Hate seeing things still there like pictures toys. Thank you for sharing have a great day 😊
The 'questionable' reading material in the bathroom of the first home aside :D, I like the way they semi-updated the original kitchen , keeping the 19th century esthetics intact. Nice explore, Paul!
Hi Paul, great tour the first home kitchen was nice. The last one look like it was a pretty nice home too. Always enjoy your videos say hi to Micheal. Stay safe.
Ah, the ever present chirping smoke detector!! 🤣😂🤣 I just love the old homes you find. That one large intact photo almost looks like the Sierra's, the flowers look very much like California poppies. It doesn't look like they were salvaging, more like just destroying. 😢
G'day Paul ... another great explore by 3. The last home with the games room/shed had some good stuff which I'm sure was usable. Your query about the first item thru' the door was a folded golf buggy. I'm still waiting for the shed full of classic cars! 😉Cheers, Ken
Some good finds there mate the pink cottage was a real classic loved the stained doors on the first one. And why do they put all the fixtures in the kitchen went to a couple last week and everything in the kitchen even the insulation these are the best rooms in the house the kitchen and you just cant get in there awsome finds there mate cheers.
🌟Hi Paul, loved them all stepping back in time I really hope that some of them don’t get knocked down it would be a shame but I guess that is progress. Especially the first home is still in great condition and would make a beautiful home again. Thank you so much again 😊❤️:-)🌟
Such a shame these places were allowed to get to this point, although I do understand that when the foundation and ground shift there isn’t much that can be done. I grew up with earthquakes in Southern California, although I managed to miss all the bad ones, and it just can’t be helped. I do have to ask, only because we didn’t have ones like this, but in the outhouses that weren’t plumbed and didn’t have a pit below them where did they empty the buckets? Was there some kind of cess pit that they used? Every outhouse I’ve ever used had a pit or vault under it.
Maybe the last house was a deceased estate, otherwise why would all the glassware and cups and stuff be left behind. We are a very wasteful society, a lot of the stuff should have been donated to any op-shop!
How do you get access, without breaking the law? You havent "gained entry", you have illegally entered a property owned by someone. You are illegally trespassing.. possibly "illegal entry" and/or B&E..
@@urbexindigo5164 The pigs may not take kindly to entering, a on spot fine could be handed out or court appearance, I have walked into some abandoned joints around Peterborough, there's one behind me not lived in 12 years +, the shed has 1972 orange Volvo 164 and 3 mowers
At least these older style homes have charm & character, not like the rubbishy, cheaply-built depressing grey & black brick buildings supposedly called "homes" in this current day & age.
