200 year old historic old log cabin and massive old stone barn soon to be torn down historic old property connected too a distant cousin of one our first presidents, sadly set to be torn down now Thanks for watching
What a nice property. The old house looks to have great potential as a restoration. I sure hope it comes into the hands of a preservationist. Nice work, Kappy!
My grandfather worked for the railroad and he built his house completely built out of cross ties. I can still remember the strong smell of creosote when you walked in
ooohhhh what an awesome find! Wish I was there. Those stairs are so steep and the old pram upstairs. 🤗Thank you for going up the attic stairs. 🙏Please someone save this place.
I can’t believe they are going to tear it down!! It looks like it’s in very good shape with some clean up! I would seriously consider buying it for the right price and fix it up!! Not kidding! What’s the story behind it needing to be demolished?
What a beautiful piece of history lost forever when it's torn down, you can bet nothing will be salvaged either of the past. Beams, windows, fireplace mantles, bricks, etc. Makes me sick to contemplate. A shame the so called "renovators" took all the charm and aesthetics away from this masterpiece. Thanks for the video of history Kappy.
A beautiful home! Not only did it have laughter and life, it had music. It's so sad they're tearing it down...surely there's an aura of the people who lived there remaining, contained within those walls. Are we ever going to see what you look like, Kappy? Lol!
I actually have a video where I say hi at the end with me in it! I’ll link it for you if you’d like! Lol I promise it’s nothing special! The houses are much more interesting!! 😅 thanks for watching! :)
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 I've actually been in a couple of those houses back in the 80's and 90's lol! I'm too old to go digging around in abandoned structures anymore! But there's a couple in Alabama that looked familiar. I can't remember right off the bat which ones they were though. Ahhh...to get old! Lol! Yes, I would love to have the link to that video...I've been hearing you giving the tour for over a year now and would love to put a face with the voice! And thanks for the videos! I love them!
@@VideoSaySo here’s the link too the video! The very last 30 seconds I say hi and show my face! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--REvzWfHees.html
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 Thanks! And yes, we have some insanely gorgeous old homes. Especially around Lafayette! You would enjoy Monticello, Georgia...Sherman didn't make it that far down and the entire town is made up of all of the old buildings and homes. The historic society takes great pride! IMO one of the most stunning small, old towns. To be so slight, it rivals places like Charleston, SC for splendor!
Built sturdy…just needs a layout adjustment…among a few other things. The barn is amazing. I’ll take that Kris Kristofferson album! Thank you, Kappy. I wish it had a better future… it is in good shape for being 200 years old. 🌸
Beautiful location. As you walk through, I'm dreaming about gutting it and all the improvements I would make. I'm going to rewire it, replumb it, and new central heat/air. Then I'm residing it and new roof (one of those metal forever roofs) and probably new windows. I'm removing all the plaster to show the beams but I haven't decided if I want to add new drywall in the kitchen. I'm praying that under the linoleum there are wood planks that I can sand and stain and finish. Of course, all new appliances and bathroom fixtures. I'd like to add a clawfoot tub in the bathroom. Maybe I'll make the bathroom storage and make another room my bathroom because the current bathroom doesn't have a window. I'm checking the chimneys for leaning, blockages, or leaks. and I'm doing all of this after I win the billion dollar lotto.
Nice find ! It's such a shame that people don't appreciate these old homes and barns . Once they are gone , they're gone ! Another piece of our history lost. I live in Connecticut and have been in early home restoration for 37 years . A friend of mine dismantles antique houses that are in danger of being destroyed . He markets the ones who are in good condition . The others are salvaged for parts. Thanks for posting.
Although the main house is in need of a lot of work the barn is so close to being finished. It could be lived in and a B&B while the house is renovated back into shape. That's really not a bad piece of property. It's definitely worth the investment.
Advertise; soon to be demolished, ( addy) free wide plank floor board's, large wood beams Be ideal to salvage some history of the home. I dont understand, with such high priced, building materials, why not advertise, refurbishable building materials? This home wood would come in handy for the tiny home movement Nice find Kappy!! Stay safe
Yea, watch out for those Velociraptors! 😅 Another great tour. Loved the log cabin. So sad it's all being torn down as it still looks salvageable. Beautiful old property. Ty once again, Kappy!
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 been watching since the C-19 lockdown. Your videos actually really helped me fight the depression I suffered during that time. I’m a faithful fan and I respect your content enormously.
@@bonniepaynter5624 Awe that makes me really happy too hear! So glad you enjoy the videos and that really makes it all the more worthwhile!! Thank you for watching! :)
Interesting one. Always love the log cabins with the big fireplaces. And the stone. That basement floor was a big fancy. I think the opportunity came and went for this project. Thanks for sharing.
Very true! The barn definitely felt like an attempt too turn it into housing or apartments was made but the money ran out sadly! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Thanks Kappy, I love log cabin houses and this one's great, especially with the barn! The barn looks like it was a boarding house or similar at one time, the staircase is old, there are nails on the framing and the floor plan just looks like it was bedrooms (and sheetrock was common 1940's onwards, so my guess is the barn remodel is about 80 years old). I can imagine someone living in the log cabin and renting out the rooms, if it were mine i'd be doing the opposite! too bad it's going to be torn down, I really hope someone someone saves the log cabin, sad it's being torn down, so pleased that you got there in time!
Remember...in the "old" days...farming and livestock were most important, the livelihood. So the barn would have been grander than the house. Always, a great video. Be safe and GOD BLESS.
Hey there, Kappy! Good to see you here on a Wednesday to help us get through til the weekend! Cool, two buildings! Log, too! How fun! If they're gonna tear these cabins down, somebody ought to call Mark Bowe of Barnwood Builders fame...he's bought worse log buildings than these beauties! How I wish these beautiful old pump organs could be saved! They're probably much too expensive to repair, though, with all those delicate internal workings. I think we've seen an organ of some type along with a piano several times...I guess somebody just got tired of all that pumping! Oh, the little calico ride-on pony is all alone in the house! Maybe some person sent to tear the house down or salvage it might take him home to their little ones. I hope so! Uh oh, that room just past the kitchen has black mold on the exterior wall! The owner had started renovations, too, if that stack of sheetrock is any indication! That must be why they left their renovation and walked away from the house or maybe they died before the black mold started. Too bad, the cabin deserves to be saved, even if the house is torn down! Another part of the house to explore, yay! This house just keeps on giving! This might be the older part of the house, too, with another big fireplace and the curved staircase we've seen so often in very old houses. The attic is sure finished nicely. The owner was a good carpenter. Oh, that body of a baby carriage up there is pre-war twentieth century, judging by its design. It's very cool to see. I don't recall seeing one like it before. Hmm...the back section of the house is definitely older than the front, as it is the front of the house is not of log construction. Clearly, these folks added on to this house a little at a time, maybe as the crops came in and they could afford it. Now that exposed log is definitely hand-hewn! It looks like that was done with a hand axe. I'll bet some pioneer man really hollered at his boy for doing that to a good log! Kappy, what are the small black pieces all over the floor in the front upstairs room? They don't look like poop or dried leaves...I was just wondering. Those brick floors in the basement are really unusual! I wonder if they were trying to stop moisture from seeping into the house above. The house was obviously very cold, as they installed so much insulation and there was baseboard heating upstairs and there were portable heating units in the great room downstairs. Somebody was cold, that's for sure! I was thinking that the barn looks more like a house than a barn. Even inside, where there are no stalls or troughs and no granary or hay mow. Maybe they ripped all that out and were fixing it up for potential tenants. Haha, I thought that sounded like a vulture! After all this time, I can recognize the patter of its little feet! Poor guy thought he had found a quiet place to roost and then a one-man film crew comes in! Silly old vulture! He ought to know that an explorer would be around sooner or later! Come to think of it, depending on when this was filmed, it could be early in the nesting season and that could be a female, searching for a safe place to raise her brood of baby vultures. The barn really is a puzzle. Maybe the farmer got older and couldn't keep up his farm any more, so he decided to make apartments. It's sad that he spent so much money and time and now he's gone and nobody but one lonely old vulture lives there. With the built-in shelf across one end, that last building makes me suspect that it was a smokehouse. These were built without windows, as this one was, had a shelf to lay things on in the back and big hooks from the rafters to hang meat from, unknown because of the collapse of the roof. That would also explain there being a fire in the building. Smokehouses could and did go up in flames, taking the family's yearly supply of meat with them. Life was rough back then. I'm sorry to be so verbose, Kappy, but this was a very interesting explore. Thanks a bunch for taking me along. Please say hello to Ruby for me and please be safe out there, okay? I'll look for some varmint and vulture repellent for you! Maybe Amazon? Seriously, Kappy, you're doing a great job and I, for one, am very proud of you. Going back to review old videos makes me smile, for knowing the kind, compassionate, knowledgeable explorer you have become. Keep up the good work!
Great observations as always thank you!! The black stuff on the floor upstairs was this foam type stuff, like some type of padding maybe for a pipe or something! Looked like a black pool noodle that had been ripped up lol! Thanks for watching!! Much appreciated! :)
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 Oh! Didn't think of that! Thanks for replying. Thanks, too, for everything you do! Please be safe out there, especially now that warm weather is bringing snakes out of their winter sleep. Love to both you and sweet Ruby.
The pedals for the grand piano were on the right side of the stairs going down into the basement. Weird. I like these houses you show, some of them I rebuild in Sims 4 just for fun.
Hey Kappy! Cool little cabin. Bet Ruby loves the wallpaper. The stone barn was amazing. It would be a great space to convert to a living area. You find the best explores. Thanks again and stay safe! ✌️
Agreed! I think the barn was being attempted too turn into apartments but the money ran out or turned out to be too expensive! Thank you very much for watching! :)
Hi Kappy this is one of your best explore but I am sure it has a few spooks there it is still a beautiful house thanks for letting me tag along stay hi to Ruby for me love you both.
Lucy Biller. Hello Lucy. I mean this out of kindness only. This wasn’t a little cabin. Also. Not all log structures are tiny cabins. There were many good sized log homes built. This log home goes on forever. The barn is huge! Someone seemed to be thriving financially back in the early 18oo’s.
This basement wtg! It was the first place most people lived while they built their house above. Most people tollorated dirt floors, this family put in brick for their temporary digs.
If I had the money, I sure wouldn't tear this house down. It's in decent enough shape to fix it up. I lived in a 250 year old house in PA and they sure don't make them like they used to!!!
Actually I thought the barn was the house with all those windows and the front door. That fire place was huge probably the original cooking place. It looked like the floor was raised up and the closets were the original height with the drop down floor. How wild. Have a great day
I like this place, a lot. The layout is kinda funky but I'm sure it could be worked with. The fireplaces were great. The barn was great, sad that the plans for it didn't get very far. The small brick structure could have been an ice house? Thanks, Kappy
Feeling disappointed and sad to see things left alone, not taken care of and damaged over time. Beautiful antiques like old pianos. Thanks for the interesting video content.😃
That place is amazing. It’s in to good of shape to be ripped down. Makes me sad how easily we demolish our history. I wish we would take care of it like other places.
Urban Exploring With Kappy thanks my friend for sharing this video with me about Amazing Packed Forgotten Log Cabin House & Massive Barn Made of Stone in Pennsylvania it was a very big place kappy n and it was not in that bad of a shape and thanks for sharing and i cn't wait to see your next video and God Bless.
Not only is there a brick floor in the basement, it's also a Herring bone pattern! How uncommon is that? They payed someone more to lay a Herring bone pattern floor. So cool!
That log home really is something 👍 that barn has great potential also. Did do a fantastic job documenting your explorations. Keep up the good work and stay safe Kappy 👍✌️🇺🇲
Wow this was truly amazing that old log cabin is rock solid .....needs work but wow so much history here !! That barn is a sight to behold hopefully someone will come along and breath new life into this a lot of possibilities here someone should save this
Truly a shame this will be torn down. Amazing piece of history here. Really awsome features that could be shown off if repaired. Thanks for another Kappy!
Oh that fireplace and the baby carriage! My mind is still trying to decipher the layout tho! What an amazing place! I agree with maybe that brick building being a well house. The bricks were certainly old! Thanks for this surprise in the middle of the week! I could watch your videos over and over! Have a great day and hi to Ruby! ❤🦆
awesome picture at 5'15 i have two from that artist id love to have that one in my collection. i also have a pump organ from the same maker. mines from the 1800 loved this place. much love from a fan in eastern oregon .
WOW, what a HUGE fireplace!! And that piece of furniture, I guess a organ? It looks gothic!! Very cool!! What a surprise! And a grand piano, these people made a lot of music! That is freaky that it was a old log cabin, those beams are huge!! Very cool old house Kappy!! Too bad someone didn't finish what they were starting with fixing the place up. The kitchen looked fairly new. Thank you for sharing this beautiful find!! I just loved that old house!! Peace, Kim ~
Such odd remodeling!!! Gorgeous big timber & brick floors!!! Sad someone doesn’t buy it, take it completely back to original for the historical value 👍🙏💕 Thank you Kappy, for sharing this amazing explanation with us, I loved it ❣️🙏💕👍♥️
Oh wow, this home is awesome. those floors and that huge fireplace. I guess that was for a kitchen? Ew, was that doo doo? What was that big piece of wood for that you slid out in the barn? Does anyone know? I was thinking that brick building with the fire damage could have been a smokehouse? Thanks again for all the traveling you do to see these grand old homes. I could listen to that creek all the time. so peaceful.
Thanx again Kappy 4 another great vid! We appreciate all that u can show us! But u stay safe out there, u don't need 2 get into any sketchy situations while exploring. Hey 2 Ruby!
Pretty sure that the falling down red brick building is an old smoke house. I lived in PA for several years and WAY TOO MANY of these old huge barns are being torn down! Very sad in deed! Smh
That barn is unbelievable!!! Just stunning...perhaps it was an Inn, Old Tavern or Carriage House at one time....the house is somewhat odd. I've had the great pleasure of living in a log cabin built in 1855 with the beams - was told the basement beams were used from an 1820's log cabin. Sadly, the news owners white washed the logs :o ....it was a darker room but I thought ppl knew better. I'm just glad it still stands and some ostentatious McMansion wasn't built in it's place.
I have watched a lot of these house explorations and you do the best job. Thank you for showing the details like door latches/knobs and wooden pegs and such. Those things are part of the beauty of an old house! Kappy, you need some new shoes. Let us know if there is someway we can help you financially with things like that. Thanks again for the good tour jobs you do! Keep up the good work and be careful out there. 😊
