Amazing Packed Abandoned Grandma’s House w/ Vintage Sports Cars in New York 

What a sad home. All the memories belonging to the owner are rotting away. I hate that. If seeing these sad homes are hard on us, I’m sure they’re hard on you as well Kappy. We appreciate all your hard work and dedication and as always, stay safe.♥️

You can tell when someone loved their house and was happy there. House has alot of character.

The pine paneling in the one bedroom brought back a lot of memories. My Dad enclosed our back porch when I was little (early 50's) and put that on the inside walls. That was a nice house in it's day. Too bad no one cared about it. It's amazing how some of the curtains still look beautiful hanging up.

Who will take Grandma - who will it be? All of us want her - I'm SURE you'll agree Let's call a meeting - let's gather the clan. Let's get this settled - as soon as we can. In such a big family - surely there's one. Willing to give her a place in the sun! Strange how we thought that she'd never wear out. But see how she walks, it's arthritis, no doubt. Her eyesight has faded, her memory's dim, she's apt to insist on the silliest whim, when people get older they become such a care! She must have a home, but the question is where? Remember the day's when she used to be spry? Baked her own cookies, made her own pies? Helped us with lessons and tended our seams? Kissed away troubles and mended our dreams? Wonderful Grandma! We all loved her so! Isn't it dreadful she's no place to go? One little corner is all that she'd need, a shoulder to cry on, her Bible to read. A chair by the window with the sun coming through, some pretty spring flowers still covered with dew, who'll warm her with love so she won't mind the cold? oh who'll take Grandma now that she's old? What? Nobody wants her? Oh, yes! there is ONE! Willing to give her a place in the sun! Where she won't have to worry wonder or doubt, and she won't be our problem to worry about! Pretty soon now God will give her a bed but who'll dry OUR tear's - when Grandma is dead? Clara Clark -Grantz 1910-1989 Thanks Kappy, see you next time!

It boggles my mind that NO ONE would at least want the family photos!

It’s amazing how items aren’t taken from these abandoned homes. The vintage furniture, clothes, cars, books, etc.

How sad, seeing someone's life & legacy strewn about, rotting away! Loved that old home, & the warmth it once must have had. Nice job Kappy, thanks for the tour & all your hard work!

There's an old song by Kansas called "Dust in the Wind"...that song always comes to mind when I see these decaying homes.

There was Aricept-(used for dementia)- in the pantry. That gives you a little peek into life that once lived there. Once the first drop of water gets in, it takes these beautiful old homes down quickly...😔

I’m 51 and live alone. I’m so scared they’ll be nobody that wants or cares for my things when I’m gone.

I bet you a million $ she embroidered that farm picture near the couch. Things like that need to be rescued. It's not stealing when it's obvious that the land owners don't give a damn and the stuff will be lost forever when the house rots down on it. It's like goin to a landfill, finding good stuff and takin it home.

Based on the overgrowth of the outside I definitely expected it to look like this inside. I’m sure it was beautiful once many decades ago.

What a beautiful home at one time. Looks like they loved that house. To bad it wasn’t kept up. Thank you Kappy!

Great find! It would be great to go along with you on one of these adventures! The blue storage tubs in the one room showed someone started to pack things up but stopped and never came back. Once you see the porta-potty seat then you know the end of the story for the last occupant. An old person who either died there or was taken to a nursing home. The clothes always get me. Washed, and even taken to the dry cleaners then hung carefully in the closets...and they're still hanging there as the house crumbles around them. When there is a tree growing in front of the front porch step then you know it's been vacant a LONG TIME! I'm surprised you didn't hear whispers and voices in this one!

That purplish car has suicide doors. Very cool show and good find, Kappy. At 68 years old there is a lot of nostalgia for me here. Even the colors of the paint. The play horse & dolls, the little TV on the chair. The Tupperware cake carrier in the pantry. It must have been hard to leave behind that chalk art. That was beautiful.

The old car under the roof was a Mercury, my Mom had one just like it when I was a kid. That was a neat old place, the pictures were kinda sad, someone's memories but no one cares. Those floors looked scary. Once the roof starts leaking they don't last long. I'm so glad I found your channel. I've gone back and watched a bunch of your old videos. Keep exploring and stay safe Kappy.

That 64 Lincoln Continental Convertible is the prize!

I love the old cars . The 1950 Dodge wayfarer is awesome . I own a 1950 Dodge Coronet, the four door version of that car . I call her Ms. Emily 🤣I hope somebody gets those old cars and save them .

That is one of the saddest houses I've seen. To see her clothes and all her things still there...it makes me feel like she was very alone - I hope not.. Thank you for the video. As always, nicely done.

I felt like I was going to visit grandma. I could just see grandma in the kitchen. That was once a beautiful home. I could feel the saddness.

Wow! I felt the same! Heartbreaking to see!! So much memories left here! As damaging as most of this is, it was awesome to see both bathrooms and 2 of the upstairs bedrooms still in descent condition! The bedroom with the dolls was a little creepy, but the other one was really nice with the antique looking dresser and headboard! Oh sad so much isn’t saved by any family member! Looks like the whole house will collapse soon! Thank you for this one Kappy! I love your compassion for these old homes! ❤

Hey Kappy! Definitely a sad home. I absolutely love craftman homes. All the items left inside look like the shelves of my local Goodwill Store! I still can't understand why these houses are just left to rot. I am so glad you give us a look inside them all. Thanks for another awesome explore. Stay safe! ✌️

The car in the carport Kappy looked like a Mercury Marquis, I"m binge watching Kappy Video's tonight! 😊

High Kappy, I don't normally comment on your channel because I normally watch your videos on tv. But, I wanted you to know how much I admire your photography and your videos. I think you were born way past your time. You belonged back in the 70s era because you seem like a young hippy type, just in this era. You have respect for not only the places you film but also kind-hearted to birds and any animals you may come upon. Also, this pad was one of my very favorite that you have filmed. An old (untouched by hoodlums) naturally decaying home with all of the old features and furniture. What a petfect gem this pad was. Great job Kappy. Stay safe out yonder and stay just as you are. P€ac€ ~n~ £0v€

I noticed that the curtains were delicate and pretty in several rooms.I feel this house was a beautiful warm home.

That was once a gorgeous old Craftsman house, how sad to see all the family photos just sitting there. Ugh, this one breaks my heart.

Wow. What an amazing place. I'm loving the built it's. Even though it's sad that this old place wasn't saved, at least you got to document it before its demolished. A place that was pretty grand in its time. Those old vehicles might be saved by whomever bought the place. I know a few guys in my family, sadly gone now, would have brought all 3 back to life. Keep em coming Mr Kappy! Love your work. Thank you for taking me along! Till next time....

This would have been such a great house in its day.

My first thought was what a fabulous house for grandchildren. Can see them bursting through the door on Christmas, the fire going...what a lovely home to let go to ruin. Doesn't anyone care? So sad. Thanks, Kappy! Hi, Ruby! 🌳

Lots of memories here…and brought back a lot for me too! Reminded me of my Gram…she raised me after my mom died when I was 9 and the furniture, that kitchen cabinet with the glasses or dessert dishes, the cellar stairs down a few to the side door, and all the odds and ends! Brought a tear to my eyes! This house also made me sad. It is hard to walk around and see photo albums, pictures in frames, that were important enough to have been kept and momentos long forgotten that sum up a life. But the cars were really cool! Just a really nice lonely house .😢

I loved all the pictures and the photo album. Someone loved this place.

See that goose cookie jar on the cabinet? I have one exactly like it! Got it at a garage sale. Geese and apples are my favorite themes for a kitchen.

This was once a beautiful house. It's sad that everything was left behind. Very nice furniture in these rooms. I did like that Lincoln Continental. Very nice car in its time.

I really like the way you film from different angles as you approach a house, someone's former home. It gives the viewer a sense of what it must have been like to live there. Also, you take your time with details of the interior. And finally, you give us a sense of the emotional records of the house ( this house is sad).

I absolutely loved this place!!! The feeling that I get is that the husband of the family died, kids, if there were any, are long gone & her sister came to live with her at the end of her life…evident by the handicapped toilet seat in the bedroom! The door, door hardware, casings, windows, window casings, banister we’re all original & priceless!!! The built ins in each room with the diamond pattern glass were epic!!! It breaks my heart to see the destruction that this house has been allowed to fall into😞😥😢 Such history & memories are about to be lost here…Sooo sad 😞😢 Kappy your health & safety is not worth any video..,so please always think of yourself first 👍🙏💕 Thank you for this wonderful adventure…. I truly loved it 👍🙏❣️

There was a bedroom with a plastic palomino on the dresser exactly like the one I got for Christmas in the early 1980s. Loved the old cars. Too.

Beautiful once craftsman. The curved front dresser with the horse on it was beautiful looking.still in nice condition. Once a fine house!!! Thank you Kappy

Ok Kappy. This place not only got my emotions going, but also memories too. It was so much like my grandparents home & also my Uncles home. Both are still lived in today, but not by my family. Craftsman style is my favorite due to the porches& built ins. It was almost identical to my grandparents home. I went back to read your information & just realized you’re in( or were here)NY. I know you can’t say what part of NY, darn. Craftsman style homes are in abundance around here. This was extremely sad. Stuck in time. Those pictures got to me. I’m about 25 minutes from Niagara Falls-hope you were able to go there. Nothing like seeing & feeling the power & beauty of them. Hope you have more from NY. Stay safe! I can’t believe you were able to walk up those stairs & show us around! Until next time. Oh, I loved the built in desk in the living room. First time I saw that in a craftsman

That place feels so cozy. It deserves to be save. Love it

It's sad that family didn't want the pictures. I snatched any pictures I could of my dads side as he didn't want them. He also never wanted the old things my grandmother had. But she sold everything to pay for things to live - the beautiful grandfather clock, a beautiful mantel clock, furniture, dishes, her treadle sewing case, the old irons. All things I wish I had been given. So I'm buying those same pieces for my old Victorian home - as a way to remember my grandmother. Hope my granddaughters will enjoy it when I pass.

I love the style home, and the stonework on the front porch is beautiful! It is sad that it is all decaying, but I don’t think it’s a sad home! From all the furniture, decorations and personal items, such as the afghans, I get the feeling that there was much love and happiness through the years. Now that you have it filmed, it will last forever! Thank you Kappy!

I get such a feeling of peace with this house and to bring that back would be awesome. Like the property too

I'm always shocked at the personal items that are left. Clothes, pictures, kids toys and cars.... seems like someone would want them. So sad.

Hey Kappy! Oh, a Craftsman-style house, my very favorite construction style! This house is going to be either really beautiful or it'll be a heartbreaker. Glad you recognize it as a Craftsman, too, Kappy. Looks like it's in good shape from outside. Oh, what a beautiful set of built-ins in the room dividers! Why somebody felt it was their job to smash one, I'll never comprehend. Idiot! Still, it doesn't look like vandals have done too much damage to this house....yet. Uh oh, looks like bad water damage, from the appearance of the ceilings. That's too bad. This house looked so promising from the outside. That's a beautiful cross stitched sampler on the wall. Someone spent a long time making that! Those are nice photos in that old album, as someone was a good cameraman. It's sad that somebody's memories are just lost now, thrown away. It's a shame you can't return the album to the girl in the photos by the stairs. This house was a little showplace once, but time has truly been unkind to it. The curtains with the morning glories on them are pure vintage and quite lovely. I can imagine how this room looked. The built-ins on this side of the dividers are lovely, too. The Seals and Crofts album on that keyboard dates the last occupancy to the 70s. I wonder if it was the young woman in the photo who liked their music. I did. I'll bet somebody enjoyed sitting in that rocker by the window, maybe reading the morning paper. What a nice little dining room and kitchen! They're small rooms, but folks didn't have big kitchens back then. That's a nice pantry/closet, though, and a nice china cabinet. Returning to those photos of a young woman and her young family in the front room make me think these folks had a daughter. The teddy bear on the sofa was left by a child, maybe a grandchild. Oh, those ceilings are really a mess! The stairs look life- threatening, too! Honestly, Kappy, you do scare me sometimes! At least you made it across those broken stairs, but you'll only have to do it again in a little while! Honestly! This first room was used as a den, apparently, or at least a spare room. You're right, Kappy, that is an unfinished painting, but it's finished now. I wonder what it looked like. The way it sort of melted, it might have been a watercolor painting or even a pastel drawing. The Bibles on the shelf indicate that there was a Christian living here. Someone was disabled, though, or there wouldn't be a portable potty in this room. Wonder which one it was. Well, vandals were here, after all! They seem to love turning filled boxes upside down! So that's how you get to the attic! I never have liked those, myself. They might close up while I'm up there! Another room, maybe a woman's bedroom, with the lace curtains. This room was obviously being packed into plastic bins, perhaps to move them out, but the person stopped their packing, maybe when the roof fell in. Then the vandals came in and unpacked the bins again. The bathroom is in remarkably good shape. Usually it's in the worst condition. Cool! Pink bathrooms were the rage in the 50s and 60s, Kappy. Oh, this would have been their daughter's bedroom! They've saved her dolls just as she left them. How sweet! Maybe she came to visit sometimes. She was much loved, judging from the number of dolls she had. Oh, I don't think this was the work of a photographer, Kappy. I think her mother just missed her little girl, maybe a bit too much, considering that the calendar is just as it was when the girl left home. Weird that the woman's clothes are in this closet. Maybe she slept here. This next bedroom must be the master bedroom. Perhaps he slept in here. Older couples used to sleep apart, as my folks did. Daddy snored and it drove Mama nuts! That is a beautiful pastel drawing! I wonder who did it, her or him. It is so feminine, I think she drew it, along with the larger one we saw earlier. That's for sure her fur coat, but that hunk of firewood lamp isn't hers. I think that he slept in this bedroom, but when he passed, she moved into the daughter's bedroom, maybe because she missed him. She kept a few of his things in his closet, especially the ethnic shirt which looks as if it came from a Slavic country. There were a couple of pieces of similar clothing in the bedroom next to the bathroom, too. Some of the books in the room with the ruined painting had titles about learning English, so they may have not been born in America. I have a theory that these folks moved here shortly after WWII as a family - father, mother and their daughter. I get the feeling that they didn't have much when they came. The wife collected pretty, breakable things, lots of them, as if she was trying to replace lost items. Maybe they had to leave their things behind when they left their country. They weren't Jews, but Christians, judging from their books and Bibles. That pastel drawing might have been a picture of a foreign country, perhaps somewhere they missed. They lived here with their daughter until she grew up and left. Then the father passed away and the wife stayed here alone until she died. Then the daughter was trying to clear the house until it became unsafe due to the roof's failure and the basement's flooding. After that, she couldn't come back or she just didn't want to. She left the few precious items that were here, or maybe they just weren't precious to her. One thing is for sure...these folks loved cars and couldn't part with them even after they stopped running! Maybe it was him who wanted to keep them. Maybe he liked to tinker with them. This house represents another sad ending to someone's interesting lives. That's the way it goes, I guess. God forbid it ever happens to any of us! Thanks so much, Kappy, for risking your life for another video. This was an interesting explore, even if it was sad. I could imagine how it looked once, though, and it was beautiful! I really wish you wouldn't risk your life just for a video, though, dear brave explorer. We all care too much about you to see you get hurt! Remember how much it hurt you when you put your leg through that rotten floorboard last year? Ouch!!! Please give my love to Ruby. Love to you, too, as always. Becca

I noticed the Aricept in the pantry. It's a dementia medication. The occupant probably was taken to a nursing home. I also noticed the Buttoneer in the bedroom. I had one in the early 70s. It was used to attach buttons. Brought back memories. That house was once very loved. So sad.

KAPPS MAH-MAN! 🤗🤣😎 "NIAGARA FALLS!!! Slowwwly we turn... inch by inch... step by step!" (It's from The 3-Stooges. I'm one of their BIGGEST fans.) 😊😎🤣 Also Kappy, I offer that it's NOT heartbreaking. Look at it THIS way - The people that filled their dwelling with their unique manifestation of happiness are only elsewhere, in a BETTER place. NOW, you get to share (in part) of who they are.

Shame family hasn’t come back to this lovely home 🏡 watching from 🇬🇧

Why? Why? Why? Such a waste …Thank you, Kappy! I love that you notice the beautiful details. You’re a great photographer.📸📹

Interesting explore. It’s amazing so many photos left behind. Could have estranged from family. I’ve found some people just are not sentimental about family mementos. That needlework was pretty cool too. Thanks for sharing.❤

Kappy the room that look like it was untouch reminds me of a parent leaving the room the same after a loss of a child.

Wow. Just Wow Kappy, that last bedroom, all in knotty pine! I bet that was the lady of the houses' bedroom, everything is much neater in there, and I agree with you, she probably was an artist.

That nice sampler on the wall and the vintage tupperware cake cover.....wierd that there was no interested family to take them. It was very sad indeed.

Saw a box labeled Aricept. Indicates the final occupant might have suffered dementia. Doubly sad. Thanks for your efforts to document the house and former occupant’s final days 😢.

Sad to see this house left to rot away and no relatives even cared about taking any memories out.

How odd that with all the water damage downstairs the two upstairs bedrooms look pretty good. The wood paneling in that one room looks almost perfect. I wish you had found this place sooner, I would have liked to see it 10-15 years ago, I bet the downstairs would have been kind of nice. Thanks, Kappy

Loved the Dodge Ambassador and the 65 Continental rag top is a classic. Great Craftsman house. Too bad we aren't saving them. It's our historical architecture being lost.

all the built in cabinets are cool.

The cedar walls in the last bedroom, look amazing..they are beautiful. You can tell the family loved this place.

How sad! 😥 I really admire and appreciate how much you understand and appreciate all these old treasures! You're a kind soul! ❤️

How sad but I can imagine her beauty...cool vibes...happy..but somehow really sad

Jeez that dresser and bed is gorgeous so ornate.

This house would have been amazing back in the day. Love that last bedroom with all the wood paneling especially the matching bed and dresser set, how beautiful they were. What a sad feeling it leaves behind in the heart. Have a great day

The beautiful porch will probably still be standing long after the house rots away! Would love to have a porch like that. Weird how the damage was so bad in some areas. The last two bedrooms were so beautiful. Almost untouched. Thank you for exploring all these places. Stay safe😊

That old house is just lonely. All the good wood,windows, doors, plumbing and furniture just wants to go home with someone who will rebuild it into a nice cozy tiny home. Love the bedroom furniture set and the lamp. Everyone loves a good chicken lamp. Another fascinating video. Thank you again.

A home like this really needs to be save so sad isn't there any more family

Wow Kappy. This house surely tells a sad story. Looks to have been abandoned since the early 90s, late 80s possibly. Just ransacked and left to rot. The last bedroom looks like it hasn't been touched in 50 years. Totally gave me the creeps. I am sure this was absolutely beautiful at one time. Surprised the roof is that bad. The Mercury... Next to the house looks like it was parked pretty new. Too bad someone smashed the windows out. Looks like they ransacked that too. The one and only newest thing I saw was the mini fridge in the kitchen. Kudos to you and your will to continue exploring even as bad as this one is. Thank You for another great explore

Gee…Kappy…what a waste of a great thing! Antiques, that china, I sure am glad You’ve preserved it at least on video. Thank You. Even photos in frames! Grandma is right! I love that old calendar. I was born in 1955. I also like the doors! You really covered a treasure!

That stone porch! 😍😍😍 So, so sad to see this beautiful home in such a horrible state. Thanks again for sharing Kappy!

Very cool Kappy. Stay careful. If bought new, it looks like they moved up from an early 1950s Dodge to a 1963 Lincoln Continental convertible, then a 1980 s Mercury Grand Marquis. Punks busted out the windows. I like to think of these people in a better place with no illness being happy with no need for their possessions.

Why would anyone not want to keep even those photographs? It's like all the belongings were just left there to rot, old memories erased forever. This is so sad.

Seals and Croft LP Reminds Me of The 1970s Song Summer Breeze 🙂. Sad 4 Sure All Those Memories There

I want that rooster lamp! And the yellow afgan on the bed.

Poor house. I'm glad you didn't fall through. Thanks again Kappy for taking the time to film these old beauties

Can only imagine what this house looked like back in the day! I don't mean to bring anything paranormal in to this video, which is great by the way, but I couldn't help notice what looked like orbs around the 20:24 mark in that bedroom. Maybe I watch to many paranormal videos! But thanks for this video, I love seeing old houses like this!

That was really cool to see. So much left behind. Makes you wonder what happend to the family. Crazy stuff. Thanks for another great exploration.

The bathroom is very nice and clean

That house looks sad...nobody cared about it after the owner died ..left it and all the belongings to rot....so sad. Thanks for the video! Be safe ..this house looks extremely dangerous..

It is sad to think there was Noone to pass the remnants and memories of their lives to. However ,picture the place in its prime and the love and enjoyment of life they experienced.

If this house could talk? The stories it could tell. Which makes it so sad to see everything left to rot or for strangers to go through such a beauty. 😪

Wow,😊😊 please your life is more important than a darn video. Appreciate all your hard work showing us your wonderful journey's.

First of all, this is a complete shame! The family just abandoned this beautiful home, with a history. Plus, I'm in New York City, Brooklyn. I wonder in what other area of New York State, this home is located?

i appreciate seeing the old houses and it sad to see most are beyond repair but your safety comes first

I felt the sadness too Kappy. I can’t believe the family walked away from all of the family photos & antiques. I’m sure there were happy memories made there for years though. Thank you for documenting it! ❤

This is such a sad home. Could have been a beauty in days gone by. Definitely some treasures still present in this old home. The dresser in the lady’s bedroom was beautiful and a shame it’s just going back to dust.

I agree with you, it is a sad house.

I love ❤️ the old farmhouse and the barn was 😊awesome thanks for the video I’d love ❤️ to live on a farm

aw kappy such a sad home those family pictures should never of beeen left and all the collectibles and memories it would just go to waste i wish people can get those collectibles and sell them at flea markets and keeep the family pictures and find out who they belong to and return them with grattitude i would so do that but i cant hope to see ya again ramble on rose my grateful dead buddy

The bathroom upstairs looked untouched by the vandals. It looks like it probably did when the woman lived there... Thank you for sharing Kappy, that was a awesome old house with a lot of old furniture in it!! Peace, Kim ~

I agree, this is so sad. The way the beds are dressed reminds me of my Great Aunt Phoebe, she kept hers like that and it's sad to see and brought back memories, I miss her. There was alot of family photos, and one particular stood out to me, in the loungeroom having a young girl in a colour photo looking around the 60-70s era to me. Makes me wonder how there isn't family still alive who could have some of the remaining possessions handed down to them. Such as photo albums, documents, the painting etc. The bedroom set in the last room is beautiful.some things can still be salvaged for collectors too. I wonder why this never happens and left to rot. So so sad. What a beautiful home and life once had here. Thank you kappy. I have much respect for you as a young man interested in preserving/documenting history and you honest care for the homes and lives lived in them. Thank you ❤ Watching from Melbourne Australia

Oh man...poor house is just melting. What a very sad and eerie place. Thanks again Kappy.

I love that front window!! Thank you Kappy!!

So very sad. Yet it feels like it once held a lot of love!

So many memories and treasures. Maybe someone will see this video and realize that it is part of their family. The sadness that is felt may be waiting for family to just come and visit.

That'd been a beautiful house in its day I love that style of home

It is awesome that you can feel the sadness of the house, picking up on it's energies that are indelibly ingrained in it for whatever reason!! Great instincts!!;

I the way you film these houses. You slowly pan around and allow the viewer take in everything there is to see in each room. I feel like I am peeking over your shoulder. Other ppl swing the camera around so fast that I get dizzy watching the video. I also love how you get close ups of the different doorknobs on every door in house. I love old houses. The house i live in now once was abandoned and a hermit lived in 1 room of house with a cot and oil heater. Neighbors said when someone came on place he'd push out the corner of house to look outside to see who it is there to visit him. He walked everywhere he went, never had a car. 1960 a bachelor bought house and totally gutted out house and basically rebuilt it and rewired it himself. I just love the old houses. They have so much character.

Man this just makes me sad to watch. Great video!

It seems like a child who grew up went back to the house for sentimental reasons and lovingly arranged things in the house as a tribute to their mother who took care of them there as a child .

The last bedroom looked like some things from the 70s. The black item hanging in the closet looked like a kurta. The bedroom set was unique. Ever seen one like it.

Great house and video. I could feel the love that was in the house. I seen a lot of orbs in the bedrooms.
