Love your channel. Be careful out there. I'm always so intrigued as to what happen to the people and families that left these old houses. Maybe no one wanted to update or upkeep such an expense way out in the middle of nowhere. So Sad.
A lot of times, when the owners pass away, the land gets sold to large farm corporations that do not care about the homes at all. Thanks so much for watching!
What a neat old house, some very collectable mid century items in there. Remarkable what people leave to decay. Texas here in the 100s for several weeks now.
Awesome ! but can you start checking expiration date on any type of food item that you find in these old homes so we can have a idea of how long the home was abandoned or when the last family lived their . Love watching your videos ❤
@@whatsaroundthebend lol, now I will wonder always! I really just wanna kno if it was a little hollow cubby and/or was it ment to be a hiding place? Guess I'm extra nosy! New sub and enjoyed video 👏🏼👍🏼♥️
That Corning Ware handle is the "handle" that attaches to a piece of any size (typically white blue cornflower pattern) ceramic Corning Ware dish that has ceramic handles. So you can get it out of the oven!. It's exactly like the one my Mom had. It's a classic! Hers was black, like that one. I have a white handled one. You twist the end and on the other end the metal opens up to grip the ceramic handle. Then you twist the end to "lock" it into the ceramic handle. It's great. Lots of antique stores have them for sale. Though they can be rare to find. Fun fact: the material that makes up the old Corning Ware ceramic is exactly what the Space shuttles heat shield tiles are made from. Neat, huh,?
Glad to help! A bit more.... Originally, Corning Ware was manufactured by Corning Glass Works (still active today-find their RU-vid channel) out of Corning, New York. Corning Ware is a type of heat resistant glass. It goes from stovetop to oven to table. Not only are there handles, like in the video, to pick it up, but there are also different sized, metal table trivets , also made by Corning Glass Works, that they sit on, so as to protect the tabletop. (From the late 1960's through to the early 80's- after that, I think, the actual ceramic was outsourced to China. This period stuff is practically indestructible!! Grab it up, it's awesome!! And it's everywhere, still to this day. Quite innovative!!. Fun to see your video! Thx!!. 👍😁
Going by what I see there. I would guess the dresser is around the late 1800s due to the marble top. May have belonged to their grandparents. That prom dress is from the 80s. So I'm guessing this family was around my generation. I graduated in 83. My parents are in their 80s, but these people could have had several children, and that was their youngest. So they might have been older. Looks like they may have been married in the 50s. That corning ware handle literally fit on the small corning ware casserole dish so you could handle it when it was hot. That mid century lamp would be worth a few hundred if it was good condition, especially do to the lamp shade.
I was thinking late 1800's on the dresser too but I'm no expert. The newest thing I found in the house was papers dated 1988, so I think you are right on. I hate to see all the stuff left to rot.
An old lathe and plaster home. What a rotten shame it's been sitting...empty...and unloved...So many treasures and memories left behind and forgotten in time. It must have been a haunting sound every time raindrops struck the keys of the piano. Newspaper was the precursor to contact paper and was used on the shelves to prevent canned leaving rings or marks on them. Corporations do buy the land and let the houses just sit to become nothing more than memories of a time long ago. The thing is they still have to pay property tax on the house and any outbuildings on the property until they collapse, when they should be having those homes relocated and/or donate or have an auction for the contents of the home before they get to this state. Corporations have too much money and an absolute lack of common sense and integrity. To them, everything and everyone, are disposable. It's truly and unbelievably disgraceful. That dresser is late 1800's-1900's and was very expensive when it was made. Today, had it been taken care if, it would be very, very expensive as an antique purchase. Seeing an old home left to decay always makes me so sad. And yes, that is a retractable clothes line in the kitchen. I've lived in Kansas since the age of 8, I'm 57 now, but am originally from Atlanta, GA. My Mom was born and raised in Tennessee. The porch ceiling being painted Gullah Blue surprised me since the house is in Nebraska. It made sense after seeing the items from Florida. Someone that lived there was from the Southern United States. That entire house is a museum in and of itself. It's a true time capsule. This is the first video I've seen from your channel, now I'm a subscriber. ❤ ~ APRIL LIPKE😂😂
Thanks for the great comment. You are absolutely correct, these corporations just don't seem to care about the history of these properties at all. They have the tax guy value these homes at zero in many cases so they avoid the taxes. They could be sold off cheaply along with the untillable land to someone that would love and appreciate them.
In the 1960s, when I was a boy, we had a beautiful Schiller piano. Schiller Pianos are very well-made and are also very expensive. At the beginning of the 20th century, Schiller was the preferred piano brand for most academic institutions in Illinois. The individuality and tone of a Schiller piano is highly sought after. Sadly, like everything else, Schiller pianos are now manufactured in Asia; what else is new. (EDIT: Is this production from Illinois?)
New subscriber from Maine. I like the pace of your videos, not too fast and not standing around. Been in the upper 80s and humid all summer here but that's normal now. It's always interesting to see different building styles and construction around the country!
@@whatsaroundthebend It's very touristy but I highly recommend Acadia or Katahdin areas. We have a lot of abandoned houses up here but they don't last as long unfortunately. My house is from 1790 and was abandoned for a while but luckily saved! I appreciate people like you filming these locations before they're gone forever.
19:28 - I have that exact dresser (it's actually a buffet for a dining room set) in my storage unit. It was my grandparent's that they've had since the 1940's. I wish I could post a pic to show you what one looks like that's in a lot better shape.
@@whatsaroundthebend I believe I found your IG page and sent an email to the Gmail account attached to it. I wrote "Dresser from your video." in the subject line.
That pot you like is a chamber pot, in other words, a porta-potty. :) The Corning-ware piece you were looking at is a handle that clamps onto a Corning-ware cooking pot. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9K8PA32_T3I.html I would find it hard not to save (take) some of the things you find in those houses. That lamp is very desirable in the midcentury community.
Really enjoyed this vid. I subbed. Those travel maps are now collectibles. Cypress gardens is located in Florida. Eastlake dresser with mirror 1890-1920’s. Nice marble on it. Underneath is info about who cut it or date. Some interesting older furniture. Tall “chest” was called a wardrobe. It was used before today’s closets for hanging clothes. “Pot” was a chamber pot. Used as toilet inside. Looks like older foundation in areas were replaced with cinder blocks.
My experience with abandon homes usually means that the owner did not have a will and the property became a ward of the state, and is sitting in limbo between family members. Home owners information is free at the local courthouse, and may even be online, just look at the property by address and see who it belongs to/ownership (property deeds)
Most that I have seen in the Midwest, were sold to large farming corporations when the occupants passed or were no longer able to live on their own. These corporations don't have any interest in the buildings. They just want to farm the hundreds or thousands of acres on there.
There's two houses on my small street that have been sitting empty for yrs, decades, beautiful location, I don't understand, old solid construction, it's a shame. I assume some family died and no one's alive that's related I guess. Cool video thanks.
I've heard that it was to keep birds away, I've also heard it was to keep evil spirits away, or it could have just been a tradition I'm really not sure.
Haint blue is still a thing-at the very least people should have something by their front door that is that color,or shutters,or the door itself- mirrors outside the front door also deter haints

It is very difficult to leave the stuff behind. When I decided to do this channel, we decided that we would never take anything from a property. If I can get permission to save some of the items, I definitely would.
@@whatsaroundthebend yeah. Always get permission before taking anything. I love going through old buildings but always ask up front if anything is up for grabs
It takes hours and hours. I look for holes in roofs, evidence the driveways aren't used, and other clues. I cover a lot of territory too. Several states. So many times are sure we have found one but turns out to be nothing.
My Mom has a full size dresser with a similar design that has been in our family for about 115 years. So I would guess that the dresser you found would be about the same age.
@@whatsaroundthebend IKR?! What a terrible waste of so many precious things! Imagine the tales that house could tell! Not to mention the furnishings! New subscriber here, I have found a new favorite! I have always been interested in architecture, historical buildings and historical antiques and decorating from bygone eras! Thanks!
Yes absolutely! I always think about all the lives that have been lived at these houses, and everything that has happened and been experienced over the years there.
