Love old abandoned farm houses. The family cemetery in the back made it more personalized, knowing at one time hey actually lived there. Thanks for sharing 😊
@Rich H That is different,all houses fall apart as they age. Just like our bodies,they can only be kept going for so long. Nothing lasts forever,one day the drip stops.
Susan Sack it looks sound enough to remodel, that's what I do. Yes that woodwork can be saved, what's ruined can be replaced. I seen some pex in the bathroom under the sink, that hasn't been around more than 20 years. So it hasn't been abandoned long.
Parker. You are a very talented young man. I love the way you mixed the beauty of the flowers and mountain views with the music and sadness of this empty home. Great job!
Hard to believe there was a time when a family loved, laughed, prayed, and toiled together on this old farm. Beautifully haunting video and music selection.
"That was pretty cool, I bet that this home was a beautiful place at one time, the view of the mountains is gorgeous, and the mountain residents did bury their loved ones on their property, nothing wrong with that, beats the cost of a funeral and the deceased really never left anyway"!!!! 👻😌💀
Whom ever owned this place back in the day was considered very wealthy. Oh of the stories to be told if only those walls could talk. I sincerely enjoyed your video. Thank You for sharing with us !!!!
What a beautiful, serene place to live. So sad that this home,once a place loved and obviously gorgeous in its day,is left to just rot away. Thank you for sharing.
At this point, it would cost more to restore it than it would to just bulldoze and build another house. That's what's sad about it. If it had been kept up over the years, then yeah, restore that bish. But if this thing has been empty since the 50s, you'd have to completely strip the wiring and the walls and redo them. The floor has to be completely redone. The foundation definitely has to be redone. I'm sure the pipes would have to be updated-- it would seriously just be cheaper to bulldoze and potentially build a replica.
Wow that is amazing no one lived there sense 1953 that was before my grandpa was born. Happy you are back. Everyone thought you died from that cold you had.
You have entertained not only me but the passenger next to me that was peeking at the phone...lol. The music made me smile n laugh and I give a whole heart appreciation for it. Awesome vid.😊
Ahhh the memories this house must have of happier times, and I so love the way you include music, nature sounds, thereby giving respect to the place, rather than so many others that jus dive in , show you quick snippets with their voiceover "impressions".... almost always meaning nothing and disrespecting the history of the place and the people who HAD LIVES THERE ! Good work ! I will live vicariously through your finds to discover those places that have such history and interesting stories!
Parker you have probably noticed in alot of old homes you film have been ramsacked and anything that has worth is ripped out and taken. Like the banasters to the stairs here are gone! I bet they were beautiful wood! We had an old house just like this in the family and it had 5 fireplaces and someone came in to steal and detached the beautiful mantels from the walls to take at some time later, but we beat them to it and they were taken to storage for safe keeping! Love your videos!
At--7:31-- The old piano looks like at one time it had been a player piano. Look in front of the keys & you can see the levers. What a shame places like this are just let to fall down. You could picture folks sitting on the porch after the animals were taken care of & the chores were done. I'll bet the winters there were bad.
Claire Mahony lol always miss his live video. Plus I think I tick him off by joking. I hang around my grandpa to much. Germans have the best sense of humor I never seen anyone yet that has as good a sense of humor as my grandpa.
Oh my God you win kiddo!!! Great job! I love the music the showing of the scenery around the house the flowers the music,,,everything! Also the way you focus in on dates and anything that can give us a perspective on the times we are looking at. Keep it up
I bet this house was super back in it's day. Several staircases. Creepy, kind of. The bathroom had been updated. The toilet would have had a box with a pull chain above it. We had one. I like touring the grave yards to see how old the graves are.
welcome back miss your videos. nice woodworkinthat home. for being abandoned for a hlf a century I'm in shock and surprised that it's still standing. sad part was those graves bet nobody even knows they exist. so sad. :-( great video.
My dad grew up in a house much like that in VA about 15 miles from anything, there was a grave yard much like that out behind the house but theirs was a lot bigger.
My grandmas sister and brother played music. There mom would teach every child. She died from child birth when my grandma was 5. Then her dad two years later so she never learned how. My grandma said he was so sad that he got sick and died from a broken heart. He never got over her. Love have been forgotten are love like that. Sorry just the old stuff takes me back. I remember being in homes like that. Wish l could go back in time and live when people talked to each other . Would help you if you didn’t have money to fix your car. But l remember them . We never locked are doors we would play out side tell 2pm at night mom never looked for us. We where free and now you have to stay in your house. Kids can’t play out side it’s sad. So sad . Sorry just takes me back when you could live with out fear.
Man, I can't read those graves! You should look those people up. You know, if you're really quiet, you can hear the echoes of the memories through the wind. That's what I think. It's happened to be before on my grandparents derelict old property where we all spent so many years before they passed and the mines took over. Memories hang in the air forever and any place that has experienced love, hate, etc, the residual memories stick in the space time Continuum and if you focus, you can hear it. Call me crazy, but you go to an abandoned house that you know saw years of emotions, love, happiness, sadness, despair, and listen. You'll hear it.
There is a very interesting history behind the people that lived there. He was a Deserter from the Confederate Army (Company H , 33rd. Va. Infantry) August of 1862. Was a preacher for a local church from 1878 to 1915 and had 7 children. He was the last of his 8 brothers and sisters to die.
Sure would love to see more new videos someday soon! These are ALL awesome, Parker. I live in Maryland. If you ever want company exploring I'd be happy to meet you somewhere and help however I can (maybe help carry your equipment, etc.).
What a treasure! Good job on filming and music Thanks for sharing. I want that house! Oh my gosh, it's awesome. Does anyone claim it? It would be great if folks pitched in and fixed it up for any family members who may still be around.
That house looks like it was beautiful at one time ! It's to bad that someone who had a little bit of money and time would restore it to its original beauty ! Great video ! Thank you !
