I've watched many of these videos many people have posted on old abandoned homes, and Kappy's channel is the only one I go to now since finding him for a couple reasons. One, he is a true lover of historic buildings and it shows in every single video he posts. Second, he is extremely respectful, and sadly many other people are not. The enthusiasm you show Kappy is geniune, and it peaks the interest of viewers like me who also loves these majestic old homes. Thanks for a great channel!
@@denisefarmer366 Small fortune, you kidding, there are about three pieces in there worth anything and they are not a fortune, antiques are way down in value and they dont have anything that important. Plus I'm not sure this is abandoned like its being said.
So sad that the generation that did not want this house, why? I loved the furniture, glass ware, so much history and so much beauty. The architecture of this farm house was amazing, so sad to think nobody wanted to preserve it. Another piece of history gone.
I really love the furniture and crockery. The glimpses of the ceiling seem to indicate not much water damage so the house has that in its favor. If we were in a position to afford the refurbishment cost I would jump at the opportunity. Think of that as a Bed and Breakfast!
Maybe the surviving relatives couldn’t get off work long enough to deal with the house and all it’s contents? .. much like it’ll probably be for me, it isn’t that I wouldn’t want to deal with each of my parents houses, and preserve memories , it’s that idk how I could afford take the time off and risk losing my job; the United States really needs to embrace the “family leave” thing…
I get the sense that an elderly lady lived out her remaining years in that farm house built for her when she was young by her husband after her husband died and her family was grown up and moved away. She probably died around June 1993 which was the date on the kitchen calendar and also judging by the old 50s-60s style TV's in the house. I also get the sense that a lot of happy family memories happened in that house from around 1940-1970s or so and then the woman became a widow for the remainder of years. This life often becomes more lonely and sad the older one becomes.
Sometimes these houses get hung up in probate or the family started fighting over it and then multiple lawyers get involved. When that happens everyone involved is prohibited by law to get anywhere near the property or remove anything. Resolution takes years, sometimes decades and by that time the house is in such decay and won't be worth much anyway
Hi. This house is so beautiful with all the fireplaces and antique furniture throughout. The staircases and banisters are so intricate and beautiful. Amazing, yet sad to see it abandoned
Kansas used to have a lot of old farm houses. I have always lived in Oklahoma but, parents from Nortonville Kansas. Dad would take us kids to see my grandparents. I always noticed the beautiful old houses left behind for what people believe is something better. Beautiful 😍 love theses old places ❤ 😍 💕
When I saw the porch my heart went nuts. I couldn't believe it. Then you showed the inside. I thought I'd died and went to heaven. Then I read the description and found out it was demolished. My heart broke. Definitely my favorite house you've shown. I hope they cleared it out before they killed this beauty.
The house is still standing and is still owned by desecendants of the original owner. It was buildt in 1903. They have been trying to crowdfund to raise money to restore and preserve it.
Oh no, it was torn down? I hope they saved all of that beautiful furniture, pictures, and glassware. I noticed that iconic print with the collie dog and the sheep that's in a lot of old houses. Thanks Kappy, this one was awesome...I kept saying 'Wow' to myself too!
Absolutely stunning, I'm at a loss for words!! This beautiful old house is just screaming for restoration! Some of the contents are treasures for sure, would hate to see all of it fall to deterioration. Thanks Kap for showing this wonderful treasure!?
Everytime you said “WOW”, I was just as “Wowed!” What a beautiful, unique house! And allthe antique furniture, fantastic wood work, so many stories to be told! I could’ve spent the whole day in that house❣️. Thank you, Kappy! You really outdid yourself on this one❣️
I loved the outside of this home! I couldn’t wait for you to check out the inside! 👍😊. I was really impressed with this exploration! Whoever lived there must’ve felt blessed..at least I hope so. Thank you Kappy ✌️
This is a beautiful house, I love the way it looks from spacious in the front of the house, just looking at the three stories with this house has to offer and the inside love the inside all the woodwork and the antiques and the staircases so beautiful I didn't even see a bathroom I'm going to have to backtrack and I did see the kitchen it does need remodeling you can add so much countertops in the kitchen and cupboards it's such a beautiful place and outside I can plant trees trees like you don't know what, you see how the mind can take you so far ahead 🥰♥️👍
If Walls Could Talk -- Kappy , really liked the tour . Lotta people would fight for ALL the old antique furniture that this house held !! Thanks and take care !!!!🤗 🌻
So far the house has not been torn down. Thank goodness. I made a picture of it sitting across the street from it 3weeks ago when I went home. I have loved this house from the time I was a little girl. Thanks for the video.
This house, so gorgeous. She was grand in her day, and now in her old age. I love that porch. OMG. the old coffee can and the enamel stuff. Too bad you couldn't make an offer on some of that stuff in there. That room with the wood fireplace, and the other pieces so beautifully ornate, I hope they rescued those before tearing down the house. That staircase is just sublime. I want that old rocker that was hiding in the first floor room. I want that "pretty chair"! Sigh. The amount of antiques in that house alone are probably worth thousands, maybe double digits. I'm not an expert tho. This house was just the thing I needed today. The owners were clearly wealthy, esp with seeing the huge pictures of the babies. Photography was expensive back then.
I'm thinking that this house was either a stagecoach stop or a boarding house at one time. Love the acorn knoll posts. Just a beautiful place! Another most excellent video Kappy! Thank you for sharing your findings.
Good Afternoon Kappy . Wow ,,, this is a prime example why metal roofs and so superior . In 6 to 8 months , my crew and I , could have made this home perfectly livable again . On top of that , all of the furniture could have stayed and still be used . Double stairs were used for privacy and fire safety . I would buy this home in a heartbeat . No doubt ! Thanks Brother ,,,,,
Beautiful place!!!!!! All those antique dressers and cabinets!!! Loved it! I truly hope they restore the house….odd layout but oh my the woodwork etc! Thank you Kappy!!
What a shame to see...A home trying to keep it's head up as you drive in, only to find the sadness within each room, memories of once happier times faded and gone. A home crying out to the world "Save me and I will protect you, keep you warm during the Winter and cool as the Summer heat shines upon me." This home once filled with laughter, love and celebrations which emanated throughout every room now dusty and forgotten left to slowly collapse upon itself one day. How I would love the opportunity to give such a once Stately home back it's glory. Thanks Kappy this is one house that really speaks to the heart.💖
The odd layout - a large, formal house often had a section, including everything, that was for entertaing. Entertaing was very important. Then there was the "real life" part - all attached, just segmented. But over the years, it was probably made into a family style "two family." Children left home to start there own families - sometimes far off, sometimes a new house was built on the same land. Or like this house. A practical, less expensive way of creating 2 homes. Then as parents & grand parents aged, everyone still had their own home with loved one right there to help as time went on. Generational home. Really very practical. See that kind of thing up here in NE sometime. At least the few that have survived. Just a thought. Again, thank you so much. I truly enjoy your video's. They take a lot of work can often be dangerous. Take care ! 😊
I think that it was two very similar houses built separately then at some point one was moved and joined to the other and finished off for unity with that amazing porch
I like that you appreciate the history and craftsmanship of the buildings and woodwork. You don’t fill your videos with cheese (haha) and you allow your viewer to get lost in the thoughts about the place. I always think about the peoples lives. I also think how one day, years from now, my house may be someone’s exploration.
That house is absolutely amazing! No graffiti. Awesome antiques. It definitely deserves to be restored. I didn't see any bathrooms? Outhouse? Thanks for another great explore Kappy! ✌
I appreciated that you did not have a staged room. I appreciated that you did not make up stories about the previous home owners. I also appreciated that you didn’t have to curse with every other sentence. Great video!!
Always twice as enjoyable when you are excited by the house you are exploring. So many great details, porches, fireplaces, furniture, staircases. I love this place, sad it was torn down. Such a waste of a great home. Thank you, Kappy
I love this house and the furniture in it. It's beautiful. Thank you for catching it before it was torn down. It breaks my heart that it was torn down. I hope it was salvaged before hand. So much beauty was inside it.
I'm surprised this house didn't have a bathroom despite having a kitchen with running water & having electricity. What a nice old house that could have been saved fixed up, & lived in! too bad it was demolished!
Kappy in a cool house = child in a candystore. This was a cool old house, full of many fascinating things and another time capsule. I'm sorry to read it was torn down. I hope someone salvaged all that fantastic woodwork. Thanks once again for a fantastic explore. You seem to be outdoing previous work these days.
Great video!! Even though the bedrooms on the second floor are in disarray...there is still something warm and welcoming about them. You can almost picture how they used to be. Thank you for this video!
Wow Is right, Kappy ! Amazing house with a very unique stair setup. The only one I’ve seen similar, was on a farm we purchased years ago here in Iowa. Asked the realtor why 2 sets of stairs . Was told there was originally a wall between them upstairs when a hired man lived there. He had a separate entrance from outside and therefore had no access to the farmer’s daughters inside !!
I absolutely love looking at old houses. I like that you can see beyond the cobwebs and disarray to see the beauty of what once was. There were some beautiful pieces in there.
I love this find!! I love porches and to have a second floor wraparound is amazing! This entire house looks beautiful. The furniture inside was incredible too!! Great find, Kappy! Thanks for another great explore!😊❤
I have the same porcelain figurines as they had on the “plain” fireplace mantle. The people who owned this home at one time appreciated quality furniture.
All the farms in the area my grandparents lived had the green black out pull down shades. Back in the day families would live together. A son or daughter married and their family lived with the older parents. Usually to run the family farm business. The family homes were added a new wing onto the home for the new family. They shared the kitchen and usually cooked one meal for all. This family must have been wealthy to have built in closets at that time. Stunning home!
This house is spectacular... Thank you for showing us sooo many houses, in a very classy way meaning- without being invasive-what has been left behind, for whatever reason...
The feel in that kitchen... I thought to myself, 'I'll bet they had some bustling Thanksgivings in that ol' house!' then, sure enough, there's pics of the babes upstairs... oh, yeah! Good conversation and cooking, with lots of busy ladies to working at it, whilst the prosperity of that farm supported expansion of the family abode. That place sheltered some good times... and good folk. But time marches on...
Such an amazing home. I hope someone got EVERYTHING including mantels, moldings, trim, windows, etc. out before it was torn down EVERYTHING!! Great find Kappy. I think this one is my favorite for 2021. Thank you 😊
I love these tours. I do have to admit when a young man says.. look at that old TV and you had one just like it as a child it makes you feel really old. Lol
The furniture in this place is just gorgeous. Simply amazing that it is still intact and so beautiful no grafitti or anything. The second staircase was probably due to the addition that one room looked newer. Did not see any bathrooms though, I like to check out the color schemes and decor in them. Get new ideas for dollhouses. Take care and have a great day.
Wow!! This place was beautiful. What great shape it was in. The banisters & newel post were the same, so I’m assuming it was built that way. So weird.Like you, I never saw anything like that. I wish you opened some drawers. So much to look at. All that beautiful furniture. Even the knickknacks & lamps & the tiny bed. I would love it if you took as long as you wanted to look closer at everything. Great porches. I would love to find out the story on this beauty.
This is one of my favorites, sorry it was demo-ed. The furniture and wordwork were amazing! I'm so glad you captured it. My heart always skips a beat when I see a new upload. Thanks Kappy!
Bookmarked this video, it's one I'm going to watch over and over. Someone took good care of this place until the end of its life, very little damage and no graffiti. I hope they had a huge estate sale for the furniture and I would have loved to have been there. What a sweet old time capsule. Thanks again.
@@melissah4515 THE HOUSE IS STILL THERE, THE OWNERS HAVE NOT RETORED IT BUT DO THEIR BEST TO KEEP IT UP. IWHAT I CANT UNDERSTAND IS WHY ALL THE LIES BEHIND WHERE THIS HOUSE IS LOCATED AND THE FACT THAT ITS STILL STANDING. ITS ACTUALLY IN BETTER SHAPE NOW THEN WHEN THIS FOOTAGE WAS SHOT.
Wow! This was beautiful place..If I had the money to restore it..what a great B & B in the mountains with the Antiques in place..sorry to see it go..love love antiques
13:12 ….Reminds me of my grandparents home, we would push the beds right up to the chimney to keep warm in the winter. They had no electricity or running water, that generation had it rough.
Amazing old home, can't believe they tore it down, it was in good shame for it's age. The furniture was beautiful, as well as the fireplaces, hope they saved some of those things, or at least sold it, to pretty to destroy. I am surprised to see it wasn't vandalized, and graffiti all over, I hate it when they destroy property. Thanks Kappy.
Kappy- the green shades in the house tells me this home was possibly owned by generations of old order of Mennonites. Since they will have couple of generations living together it makes sense to have a number of additions. That furniture was definitely handed down.
All the farms where I grew up in Indiana and a lot of homes in town had those blinds. None were Mennonites. Grandma said they were to block the sun to keep the house cool. I remember laying in my bed sick with the measles staring at the light coming through a pin hole in the blind. Funny the things we remember.
What an absolutely amazing find! I would have been in as much awe as you were seeing all of that gorgeous furniture left behind. Thank you for sharing Kappy, you're one of my favorites to watch.
That was indeed a great house loved the kitchen was really surprised it being a farm house that I didn't see any canning jars anywhere. Whoever lived there though was neat and tidy all the beds were made even the one with the extra mattress on top of a mattress. I hope it can be restored too. Anna In Ohio
it must have been a sad day when this old beauty left her perch. they leave houses up that have the roof caving in and where vandalism is rife...yet a house that still stood firm on its foundation had to come down. this would have been worth breathing new life into. in one of the upstairs rooms, there was an old hospital bed. it hand handles at the end to crank it up or down, an amazing find. maybe someone had been ill. a funny layout maybe because of all the additions ?? everything about it from the fireplaces to the antiques left behind yelled out "save me" !! I guess no one was listening...
Wow Kappy, that was quite the perfect 👌 find 😍 for stepping back in time!!!! It definitely has a lot of history in it! There's so many many antiques in that place. When I saw in your description that it had been demolished my heart sank. There's so many ppl that have some of those antiques & would probably would have liked to get their hands on them. So much of the cabinets and even the wood itself is Valuable for ppl too. I just wonder if ppl would allow 2nd hand stores or bidders to buy the contents and wood doors. Mantles etc for a nice price and they would be so much better off with the extra money in their pocket!!!! I really liked this one so Thank you 😊 ❤ for sharing this place with us!!
Thanks for the explore. Glad to see you documented this home before it was torn down. I don't get why people furnish their homes with cheap IKEA & Big Lots furniture. If you go to secondhand shops, consignment stores, auctions & estate sales, beautiful furniture can be bought inexpensively. We bought a few pieces at a time whenever we could afford it. Our home is mostly furnished with well-made cherry, maple & oak pieces all dating to the 1930s & earlier.
Just one abandoned house has many stories/secrets! And there are a ton of them out there languishing till its too late to save them. Very sad to say the least!
I noticed before that Kappy rarely has anything of importance to say about the houses he features. It would be nice if he would do a little research first.
Kappa loves old houses and has such a genuine respect for everything he films. He makes me feel like I’m exploring with him. If he did a lot of research before hand it would change the feeling of adventure and aura of mystery surrounding the walk through. It’s like stumbling across something that is so interesting you just have to stop to examine it. These videos are delightful, tinged with sadness but very satisfying to watch.
What a fabulous place! I love the quirky layout and the old furniture, but alas!- I live thousands of miles away! Please, oh PLEASE someone save this house!!!
This was a gorgeous old home. It's such a shame that it wasn't restored to become a beautiful bed and breakfast. I would love to have all the antiques.
My favorite Kappy explore. What an amazing home and so many treasures for us to dream of rescuing. All of your ‘WOWS were echoed by me. Thanks for your bravery so we can pretend we are right there with you.
This house is so beautiful and all the furniture and antiques WOW. Just WOW Kappy you found a wonderful house. I hope the owner's restore this beauty at least get all the antiques and stuff out of it.❤️
Love your vids Kappy! my fav urb explorer! Some of these places are so amazing, like time travel, wish I could see them myself- so many little details I want to see more of. Saying this place had a 'layout' is being generous, looks like addition on addition with not much planning, but a beautiful beast of a place :)
This place would have been grand back in the day!! Love the porches!! Thank you for always giving us the outside, all around view too!! So sad that these old homes don't get restored at the very least! I certainly HOPE some one got those beautiful pieces of antique furniture out of there before they demolished it!! It looks loaded with it. Such a beautiful place, but I would have thought they would have updated the kitchen, it was huge!! That staircase is incredible!! That place goes on for days!! I just love that furniture that was left in there...... That front door is cool, love the stair cases. Wow, upstairs is the cool too! Loved that wallpaper. Why did they have to tear this place down? It looks like it's pretty sound, no major water damage or holes in the floor! The fireplaces upstairs are beautiful!!! That is definitely added onto... meaning the house sections. I hope they got the furniture out of there! I loved this explore Kappy!! Thanks for sharing!! Peace, Kim ~
My favorite house you have done so far! So beautiful and unique! I hope they saved the furniture and the home’s beautiful elements. That staircase was gorgeous!!
OmG wat an incredible incredible find!!!! Wow ...I couldn't quit saying wow....wow....the antiques were absolutely mind blowing...and the fact that it's sat there all these years just left behind, like it's waiting for somebody to come back and pick up where they left off....wow... I feel like I could jus go hang out there and chill and it would talk to me....wow awesome find..I gotta go watch it again!!!!
