Original comment. Not like the other 900. Can anyone say something different than the stupid vandal shit

@@matthew-oe2ur - because it's a fact...you're probably one of those sick childish vandles. The comment bothers you.

@@virginiaryno2631 yea that's it! You got it babe! Great character judging! Haa your a dummy. I'm sure I said something because you said some stupid unoriginal comment that a hundred other people said. Aren't capable of an original thought even if it hit ya on the head.

@@matthew-oe2ur - don't deflect. You're pointing fingers while having 3 fingers pointing back at you. Moron. Everyone has a right to their opinion. You know what they say about opinions and you deary have one too asshole.

@@virginiaryno2631 oh jeez. I'm high watching a movie and relaxing. Don't bother me I promise. I just like talkin shit and see who bites. Your are lucky contestant this morning. But 4 real my analogy is way more legit than yours now c'mon. Your 1 of hundreds saying the same original comment on the video. The only thing you got is I might be somebody that does something which u can't prove. I on the other hand have proved you are just the same as all the others with nothing better to think of to say. So I got ya beat on this one. So c'mon now just accept it and move forword. Your better then that.

Karma

Natalia what😂😂 she literally didn’t mention race, but go off I guess

@Natalia - your opinion matters 0 to me. You know what they say about them asshole.

@@virginiaryno2631 Slaveowners in New York in 1855? I doubt it. New York outlawed slavery years earlier.

@@clintdavis9511 who cares I still think the place should be demolished and used for the poor or a good cause.

Modern homes are so plain and built so cheap it's sad not even worth the amount people are paying for them new.

People used to build houses that were meant to be for the rest of their lives. Now people, marriages, homes etc are disposable.

Penny Tumey people?

@@positivelypenny1392 Makes sense in a capitalist society

Modern houses are just glasses and bricks...easily destroyed.

Yes I heard it.

Hannah Fraley start savin

Would cost more to fix this place or any big place in this condition than it’s even worth.Would be cheaper to build your own from scrap 😂

Hannah Fraley yup my pet peeve is watching an hgtv show come in and demolition any original character from a fixer upper.

Same here

I would buy it and fix it up.

I just read an article and it said there were one Million blue and white marble tiles lining that huge pool

I wish you would have left a link to the article you read about this property

If you lived near me, I would want to have tea with you. Your knowledge of this property is impressive. :)

So then...what happens to it now? Cant purchase it or state owns it?

Tara Chatterton/Eachus a place like this is kind of a money hole everyone with the money to buy it probably wouldn’t make a profit because there’s gonna be asbestos and lead to deal with so unless some eccentric millionaire wants to save or it becomes a historical site it it’s probably just gonna be left to fall down eventually

@@jenc9532 Well ur right there jen. It's just a shame . So many buildings homes etc. That could be used to create better situations cant be used bc of those reasons. Thanks for the information.

Me Rose rich people back then probably didn’t spend too much time in their kitchens.

Prima Murdock i love that stuff.

It's beautful .... Said built in 1855 way before the great gatsby and the original owner died in 1980.

Absolutely

Prima Murdock, yes. I love the Gatsby music they played for this video as well! ❤️❤️❤️

It's hard to believe that the Property hasn't been sold. Regardless whether the house is restored, the land and it's views are worth a fortune.

Susan your words mean alot! Thank you

Susan Roach I agree I found this and subscribed right away. Very good camera work and content!👏👏👏

I agree with @Susan completely. Couldn't have said it better

Exploring with Josh is a really good channel too!

She's a square egg.

that is the reason you should buy old homes

:( I got an old house and yes it’s hunted my old house was too I always lived in a hunted house

A better reason not to would be because of all the money you will spend on repairs and updates that need to be done, like wiring and pipes, etc

I wouldn’t even care if it was haunted I’d love to own that place and fix it up if I could

gumdokim exactly

It has been fully restored 💕

+Andrew Brendan Great observation. I coudn't agree more!!!

Righttt

Andrew Brendan same yes exactly

So true!

Why?

@@gingerelvira6587 Potentially harmful fumes or the dust from the buildings, unknown bacteria from rotting wood or plants, mold, feces.... There's plenty reasons why the original commenter suggested they wear gloves and masks.

I believe it was natural disasters that destroyed the place. At least, that's what the uploader says at the beginning.

If you salvaged parts of the house the energies will be carried into your new home lol

My thought was vandals too, but wind and rain storms can knock out those windows overtime. I imagine this location receives a lot of wind and the windows just shattered from it. It happens.

If you did airb&b in the guest homes you could make it worth it, especially with the views and everything they offer. The one could even be listed as haunted.

Does.it.matter ? Ikr

I know! I was putting a price tag on so many things in this awesome home.

Leave:Me:In:A:Little:Log:Cabin ? I've thought the same thing on so many locations and how much I would just love to preserve the whole place sometimes.

honestly i dont see anything wrong with it if its been left there untouched might aswell take stuff and put it to use like obvs theres expensive stuff there but just the books they found in the cellar or anything like that id take

You NEVER stole anything in your life huh.

J'avoue lol

Laurent De Merteuil ... But what's crazy is that you happened to stumble upon this video and took an interest in wanting to see it and then saw the segment about the Nate Geo magazine with that info. So yes, I agree with you that it's a huge coincidence for sure. Pretty strange indeed.

Laurent wow. I don't know what it means, but it MUST mean something!!

Mais de ouf lol

Yes - that is pretty creepy!

AMEN.

Do you ****

Great catch, I remember now learning about the Gradual Emancipation law in NY.

Yes. Maybe the correct term would be servants. Slavery ended but job opportunities were still not broad for slaves and slave descendants. All the videos are super unclear about time frame on this Chanel so you never know 🤷🏽‍♀️

Well, actually even slate roofs can need replacing or repairs. I bought a Victorian farmhouse to make into a B & B and it had a slate roof. A few needed replacing. I almost had a heart attack when I saw the small pallet of slate tiles delivered and it was $5000!!!! This was back in 1996. I was fortunate to have found someone who could do the work. It requires special tools and knowledge to work on a slate roof. This expense is one sad reason that many houses with slate roofs end up having them replaced with cheaper materials. I was a purist and spent the money to keep mine a slate roof. A slate roof is extra heavy, so any house with a slate roof will be solidly constructed. Unfortunately my B &B house was a real money pit. Eventually my husband got cancer and we sold it at a big loss. Today it is a vineyard and the owners live in the house but it is no longer a B & B. I am privileged to have been able to live it such a historic home. Many today have never even set foot in such a home, but at least they have these RU-vid videos.

@@nicolaxoxo1 it sounds like you values it and cherished its upkeep. I admire that

Gary Shields The Wood underneath the slate rotts and gives way

do you live in such a mansion too?

😢😢

Where is it?

Where at

Do you know how much its worth

butitssummerma wow! That’s awesome! There was probably a reason everyone felt the need to stay away from there!

Belladonna L. It gave off a weird vibe or maybe people thought wed make them do the dishes!

butitssummerma 😹 that’s funny!💕

Those grand homes built in late 1800s/early 1900s are so very cool (esp. when taken care of). I have gotten unsettling vibes from several too. Stayed as a guest w/friends in this stately Victorian. Remember clutching my Bible & repeating verses in bed until my BFF arrived. Kept hearing strange noises coming from attic rooms when I was the only one upstairs. 😨

Why not? What was wrong with it?

This is what i just thought

Lisa Stokes ~Yes, loved it

Venting out anger. In its former glory, this is the kind of home that they would never ever dream of even being invited in, let alone owning one. Now that they find one that it's completely dilapidated and defenseless, they have the opportunity to let out their hatred. Petty hatred that stems from envy for people who simply own what they can't.

Dam vandals.

Mother nature is the biggest vandal of all. She takes back what is left too long.

thrillhausen Alt right, I'd live there if it were restored.

V Lo who wouldn't?

@@TitanikGirl Poor and middle-class people who could never afford the rent.

Jessica Smith...I agree completely!

TheBlueFairie thank you

I wonder if it had a "dumbwaiter".....

Jacky Hawkins thanks Jackie. The kind words mean alot. Glad you enjoyed.

Jacky Hawkins I agree, it's spectacular!

Paul Millar that is very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, property taxes can kill you. We were just looking at a 1930s estate in Old Westbury, NY that was put on the market by its original family. They are asking 29 million, which sounds like a lot until you see the mansion and realize how big the property is and what comes with it. Compared to other properties in that area, it really doesn't seem insanely expensive. But the combined property taxes are about 860K per year. Even if I had the money to afford it, I'd hate to give that much money to my local government. You get virtually nothing back from them.

Oh, forgot to add. This place isn't actually owned by that family any more. The property was sold a few years ago for forty million dollars to a group of doctors who plan to demolish everything, subdivide the land and build expensive spec homes.

IF I had it, I would not mind so much paying the taxes IF the money was well spent to do some actual good vs going to government waste and wars

I agree with you. Property tax should be abolished. It's also a shame that there's so many abandoned homes and homeless/poverty stricken people and we can't put them in these homes or any for that matter.

Lee j Cator Brings you back in time. Loved everything about this place, one of my favs. Thanks for watching !

I believe that wallpaper to be Art Deco which would be around 1920's.

Jae's Cleaning yess!! Somehow gives me “fall vibes”

I keep expecting to see a ghost everytime he turns a corner

susan druce the marble fireplaces were simply gorgeous.

I know I wish I had the money to buy and restore it to the original condition dont you

Want me to make a video there also? 😏 haha

Kajun Means Seasoned Not Hot! Sad 😔

Where is your grandparents place located? What state? That’s such a shame. I hope your parents have lots of pics and video of it so you can remember it.

While the family was still living there, it was still being kept up - despite all their feuding. Now a group of investors owns it and have applied for permits to demolish the buildings. I don't know if they were given permission yet or not, but it'll be gone soon enough in any case m

tragic. I guess after the mother drowned then the son she had been feuding got it all? It seems a bitter feud so surprised she did not cut him off. Do you know more details?

Allie M it was demolished and made into smaller homes part is still a museam

agonicole How do you research whats going on with it now. Thats really interesting..I watch so many videos like this and stay wondering about the story behind why it’s abandoned snd or its owners. Although this videographer did a great job giving information on history snd last known resident. Awesome video.

@@serenityinhim it was bought by a rich Russian guy and flipped he can't sell it and its empty

Btw i lived by it

Thank you ! A lot of people forget why people clicked the video and what they are actually interested in. I'm not that special, just using my platform to show the world whats out there. Never going to be a vlogger like that, all about me bs

I love that you have the History.

Do you know if anything ever came from the investigation into John Handler's death? He was found dead outside his home on the property in March 2008. At the time the other brother Russelll was at his home in Maine, so he did not kill him himself. I can not believe one family has so much tragedy. John previously had cancer. Then sepsis took ALL his fingers and toes, so I can not imagine him being too mobile in such circumstance. This article just said he was found dead outside the home, and that homicide was looking into it. I doubt the mother could have killed him, she was in her 80s. www.nytimes.com/2008/03/07/nyregion/07estate.html?scp=1&sq=%22John+Handler%22&st=nyt

@@nicolaxoxo1 what a family , so sad for the houses, they truly never appreciated what they had , so ungrateful , so many homeless and they let this beautiful houses rot

@Aimee Webber so true. Never enough. Why 1% of the population hoards 90% of a nation's wealth. And so many millions live in poverty and despair. But the elite are insulated by their obscene wealth. And still want more wealth and more power. So unhappy. So sad.

Now this article contradicts the other I read. It says RUSSELL is the one who found John's body. It also goes on to mention that John was in a wheelchair at one point at least. I find it odd that he allegedly had a "slip and fall" death if he was in a wheelchair. I wonder if his brother killed him. There was a lot of bad blood between them. Sadly John left 2 young girls orphans because their mother had already downed by this time. www.newsday.com/long-island/another-tragedy-befalls-prominent-gold-coast-family-1.882024

JefStetics World Glad you enjoyed !

JefStetics World I would love to have the Gatsby house beautiful

Dark Exploration Films just beautiful
