Magnificent Abandoned 19th Century Time Capsule House FOUND Underground Root Cellar 

It was common for a root celler to be separate from a house. Most early homes didn't have basements, and if they're early enough, they had separate root cellers. My mom lived in a place in the 1940s that had no electricity, no indoor plumbing and a separate root celler. (In Eastern rural Washington state) oh, and that place was torn down in the early 1950s to make way for a freeway. Great video

We can stop wondering why these gorgeous homes are left empty when nearly all sit on high traffic roads 😢. Certainly lost the serenity of the original peace and quiet! Thanku Kappy!!

The sound of the traffic racing by those beautiful old homes made me sad.

Way better than anything built today.

I like how one of the things you like to focus on in these old houses is he wallpaper. I think you told us one time that Ruby likes to see the wallpaper. The wallpaper that was in that first house was some of the most beautiful vintage wallpaper I have seen you showcase. It looked to be from the 1930's-40's. I hope Ruby enjoyed that as much as I did!

Hi Kappy! Love both of these houses! The round things in the second house are bushel basket lids/covers! With a full basket covered, they could be stacked for storage or taking to market.

In 1995 I lived in a farmhouse that was very similar to the ones shown in these videos! It was in Eureka, MO. I have no idea whether or not it still exists. It served as the student housing for a non-profit conservation organization. Similar layout: Huge porch above as well as below, each bedroom upstairs (originally) had its own fireplace, sturdy stone and lumber construction, gross-ass basement. It was amazing to sit on the upper porch and view the weather. On some mornings the valley below would be stuffed full of fog. I also remember the violent thunderstorms, St. Louis-style, in which so many lightning bolts appear at once that you'd think the sky would shatter like an eggshell. There was a barn, that was obvious, ruins of some sort of stone building nearby which the locals claimed was once a church, and a mystery building--an icehouse, maybe? And, down in the valley, ruins of wooden buildings, each exactly the same, standing in a row. Gulp. Yeah, Missouri was a border state.

Love these old houses so much more than the newer houses other urbexers do. You have definitely grown as an explorer.

I've always liked the simplicity of Federal style houses-they just seem to have a timeless, dignified grace about them. But 2 words l'm really starting to dislike are "torn down." Nice work, and thanks, Kappy! Hey, Ruby! 🏠🌳

love the underside of the slate roof- still sound!

1930s-40s wallpaper. (Ruby!) 1950's kitchen. Maybe an extended family remodeled it in the 30-40s. Old house. The split staircase is a very old fashioned feature. I really think it is an old house that was built in several stages. The ginger breading is circa later 19th, early 20th. No water damage, it seems. I would live there in a heartbeat. Very quaint and charming home. My favorite, Kappy!

One of the plainest front staircases you have ever shown! (First house)😊 Thanks for sharing these old homes.

That house must have been beautiful when it was new!

Glad to see that you know what a Barn Swallow Nest looks like and is. There are some explorers that don't know and one even thought that it was a Bee Hive..... LOL! Great explore good job. 😀

Such grand wallpaper! Loved both homes and happy to see the barn swallows are making homes within the abandoned house since no one else is! Tho it is sad to see plans for restoration take a dive. Hope someone makes off with all the doors and Timbers for repurposing in another home before demolishing begins. That was certainly a ton of basket lids and a reminder of all the hard work for farming and transporting goods to market - thus build your home near the road for easier hauling. Thanks Kappy for both of these lovely homes!

@10:55, that is a root cellar. They would store canned veggies and root veggies.

I like the cellar too that people got in when tornadoes or high winds storms were about👍

The first old home what a gem !! The upstairs room with the second story porch would have been a great bed room .To wakeup to a slight breeze though the screen door .....heaven. The root cellar was a blast from the past !! The second old home I just love those deep inset windows And the stone on the outside and such a cool little pond !! Great finds Kappy and great video as always !! 👍👍

I would imagine the layout is due to add on’s. Love the wallpapers and old furniture.

Nice to see these homes before their gone ,they will be before long ,you do a good job showing them

The owners of this house probably passed away and the relatives eventually abandoned it. I don't know the circumstances, but it is aggravating that some have no respect for anything. The one room with all the trash on the floor...These types are animals. It is a beautiful home. I can imagine a young couple just starting a family in its day. It has an ambience about it- a healthy God fearing family. The views of the yard from the veranda was absolutely beautiful. This is what gives the whole atmosphere of a home, not just a house.

Absolutely amazing. When these houses are all gone, we will be left with the crap they build today. The first house was lovely and homey. The second looked as if no one ever lived in it. I think kappy was right-the house was storing the barn wood. I think those tops were to bushel baskets. Was the kayak from the 20’s, maybe?

Fantastic arched root cellar.

Oh my Kappy! It’s gorgeous!!!! Love the porch. I’m just a big porch person. Lol! They’re the first thing I look at when you post. Lol! You absolutely make our weekends with your beautiful finds. Keep up the amazing work! We look forward to seeing them all. As always, stay safe!😊

Thanks Kappy,you always do a great job,I feel like I am there in person.

Two interesting homes. So empty. Two totally cleaned out attics. That first one was extra interesting to have the outbuildings. The bird have made a horrible mess in that second. Thanks as always. ❤

It’s sad to see something of such beauty left to decay. Thank you

What I love about these 19th century homes, are the radiators. Best Heat in the whole wide world! Steam, never caught any colds in our home. The house heated by coal and later oil. Very nice, I always look forward to your adventures in different states with these old broken down unlivable houses. They were magnificently made by craftsmen, made to last a long time. But without proper care (no one living in them) they are all decaying. Some of them are part of a forest or torn down.

Beautiful home. Beautiful comfy couch with the rolled arms. Would be so nice to reupholster ❤

Very neat explore Kappy, I love all the late 1940's early 1950's floral wallpaper in that house. It Mimics the floral prints of early 1950's barkcloth curtains, which would have looked great back in the day with it.

Decades ago my dad had a cb, and his cb name was "Outhouse Rat". Whenever he'd get on the radio to talk to others he'd announce himself thus: "Outhouse Rat on the privy base", lol!

Beautiful place. I loved the last room that had access to the front terrace. I think it must have been the master suite, with the bedroom and a study, with the bath. Unique design, but still so interesting. Sent my mind into recapturing it’s beauty again. Summer kitchens were so neat back then to keep the home from getting hot while cooking. Thank you, Kappy for showing such a wonderful home.❤

Just amazing... would have loved to see it in its glory days!!!

Hey Kappy! Pretty cool place. Lots of space. Loved the out buildings as well. Except for maybe the "cave crickets". They freak me out! The property on the 2nd house was nice too. I really wish these properties were saved by someone. Thanks for the great explores. Stay safe. ✌️

Anyone in here old enough to remember the Munsters? I thought Spot just might be under those stairs! Lol! and yes those floors are beautiful

I loved the 1st house a lot. I bet it was nice back in the day. The 2nd house was okay as well 👌 😌. Stay safe 👌 👍 🙏 ❤

Great video Kappy. Thanks for the tour. Very special old homes.

Ty Kappy 4 more great houses! The first one is a cardio house with all those stairs everywhere ur heart better b good!😅 such a shame these old places r left 2 rot,sad. B safe and thanx again 4 another great job on showing us ur vids!!

Fantastic video! Was wondering if the underground area was a tornado shelter!

House one was heated with radiators, when you went into the basement I saw a boiler which would heat the water flowing through the radiators, I also noticed two large oil tanks, so that would have fueled the boiler. I worked as a desk clerk at a hotel that heated the rooms by radiator, the boss would have us go into the basement to shut the boiler down for a couple hours, I would get complaints about the cold rooms. By the way, this hotel had the old fashioned (phone) switch board.

Kappy, you say "what a strange layout" regarding the rooms downstairs of first house. But back when that was built and occupied I bet it was perfectly normal. It's the perception people have of old houses nowadays that has changed.

Urban Exploring With Kappy thanks my friend for sharing this video about Magnificent Abandoned 19th Century Time Capsule Farm House *Underground Root Cellar & Summer Kitchen this was a verry good video and thanks for sharing this and God BLESS

Sitting on the porch drinking coffee!!

How Valuable your efforts must be to legit reclamation companies. There is serenity it wanting to believe you are a home’s savior.

Beautiful house. Loved the summer kitchen and root cellar. Very cool! Thanks for sharing 💜

4:37 thank you for showing the flooring ❤

The wallpaper!! I’d love to have samples and recreate these awesome patterns. Vintage and beautiful ❤

Hello Kappy. That first house is really nice. I thought it looked fairly fixable and those windows were really deep. I like the 2nd house as well. What a cool attic in both houses. I like how the sun was on the top of the entrance to that root cellar. That was a nice shot.

Love the architecture ,of the house the deepness of the windows,the windows,wall papers and floor ,what a beauty,to set out on the porch and have coffee,,wow❤️👍🇺🇸

Beautiful places! That first house stole my heart…beautiful details and quirky layout…I’m sure it was charming. The outdoor kitchen would make a fun art studio…and the outhouse a potting shed (after filled in lol) and that tunnel! 😮 You are so brave! I’m not particularly scared of spiders but that could’ve led somewhere scary! I loved it though. Thank you so much Kappy.

Kappy how lovely it must have been at the end of the day sitting on the upper porch or down by the pond fishing with bottle of wine on a string keeping cool in the water. Sad to think once a thriving family home now left in its bare shell. The first house outside lol was definitely cool as you say especially at night. Thank you for your visit I expect it's soon gone . I wonder how many families lived there second house lovely setting . Best wishes.Beverley stone UK

Good evening, Kappy! Oh, another once prosperous farm to explore! I really enjoyed the description and the background information you provided on the properties. It's a shame that people skip over your background on the houses you explore. They miss so much! At every turm, this house shows how proud their owners were of the home. Even the fallen portico once protecting guests at the front door gave a beauty and grace to this home, lifting it above being a simple farmhouse. The little flower you photographed is, doubtless, a survivor from a long gone kitchen garden. It is called ageratum and it blooms deep purple when cultivated, but blooms white in its wild state. It's sweet. Thanks for filming it. Ruby and I both appreciate it! This house offers myriad touches which made life easier for its inhabitants. The kitchen is spacious, while the front room incorporates beautiful millwork on the mantel piece and the pediments above the doors. The bright wallpaper is not in keeping with that period's Quaker austerity, however, it was probably added later. Little touches like the bright wallpaper and the painted treads on the main stairs speak of a woman who loved pretty things and wanted her home to be as pretty as she could make it. I suppose we shouldn't be surprised at the rather confusing stairs and the changes in elevation of the floors. House which had to grow to accommodate a big family often have those features. I think that's a floor cloth in the front room upstairs. People used those rather than rugs in the 18th and even into the 19th century. That is some really pretty gingerbread trim on the gallery, with the stars in the corners. I can imagine the people sitting out there enjoying the evening breeze. Overall, Kappy, that's one beautiful house! It's a bloody shame nobody wanted to keep living in it, though it would be hard to heat. I can hardly wait to see those outbuildings you mentioned in the description. That summer kitchen/dry storage house seems like a good place to keep barrels and casks and crates. It's a pretty, utilitarian building. Im surprised there was only a one-holer outhouse. You'd think with a large family, they'd have two! I guess Papa kept it for his own special place. The root cellar was a bit creepy, I've gotta admit. The cave crickets can have it! The second house seemed to be nothing now but a storage place for farm stuff and building materials. At least it's being used for something! I'll bet someone comes to fish on that pond and they use that old kayak. Great explores, Kappy! Thank you so much for allowing me to accompany you! Your videos give me someyhing to look forward to and I hope you never run out of places to explore! Much love to you and sweet Ruby from the gloriously colorful mountains of East Tennessee, Becca

That first house is still quite solid!!! The wallpapers and furniture left is from the 1930s or 40s and all things considered, in pretty good shape!! That place should be saved. If it was significantly historical, it would make a great museum. I love the out buildings. My grand parent's had a summer kitchen too. You really don't see them much any more. Metal roofs!!! Yay!!!

Both of these are really quite beautiful houses. And what I wouldn't give to have that root cellar!

It is also neat when you end your videos with beautiful scenic views and thanks for watching. In these stressful times your videos take us back to a time when things were better than they are now. Thanks, Kappy! 👍

that second one looked more like mid 1700s (18th Century) Also, the reason there isn't a basement is because the house was most likely built by hand, and digging a basement if the bedrock is close to the surface is not a task one or two men in 17whatever could accomplish 👍 (I grew up in a house that was built in 1738)

That was a cool place. I just love the old farmhouses. Thank you Kappy !

Happy old-growth trees❣️ 🙏 those are saved❗️ ❤ the chirping crickets, too 😊

Seeing the kayak tells me someone enjoyed time on the pond in the back! 👍👍 video!

House 2 was cool. Too bad it fell into such a state of disrepair. It seemed to be pretty moderate but I'll bet it was a cozy home. The attic alone was really cool!

The first house's root cellar was more like tunnel to the Underworld!!! Kappy, you are very brave! Loved the interesting dual stairs of 1st house but second house spoke to me. Wish i had the $$ to save it😢

Happy Halloween Kappy. 2 beauties here. That's neat. I love these old houses. So much nicer than what's here today. Porch looked a bit sketchy. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Kappy, your videos never disappoint! How do you find these gems! The Quaker built first house was solid, comfortable, modest but industrious old Americana. Loved seeing those precious outbuildings! The second structure also reflected 'built to last,' and, without Human intervention, continues to hold steadfast to the original intentions of its builders, to the end! The sounds of the traffic brings to mind how, in my town, folks pay a pretty penny on townhouses and single-family residential neighborhoods butting right up to the state highway, where traffic hums throughout the air constantly. Up until a couple years ago, the noise was deafening. Nowadays, as the population has exploded, there's so much congestion on the roads, the traffic creeps. You couldn't get a speeding ticket, due to so many automobiles everywhere. The difference between thinking today and yesteryear... old houses near busy highways is a shame and should be torn down; new houses purposely built along busy highways is prime real estate due to the advantage of being 'freeway close.' Does anyone else see the duplicity? It's called 'propaganda' and it controls how we think of things. TY for sharing. You oughta compile a book on these, they represent such significant, soon to be lost, history.

Cool explores! Always love those second story porches. Must have been like Heaven to sit on those and enjoy gentle breezes.

U made my day with all those beautiful old vintage houses that's so nice just keep making great videos and I will keep watching

I wouldn't let traffic from letting me home like first one. That would be a beautiful house restored

The tunnel like underground room is an ice room. They would cut ice in winter and pack it down there for refrigeration.

You’re the best explorer, like to see basements and attics too, love the sound of your voice, let’s see you and Ruby sometime too.

Wish the big old trees by these big very old abandoned houses could talk .

I've always found the old wallpaper interesting, I worked at a very old wallpaper mill for 8 years. They closed production down back in the late 1980s, that was sad.

Loved the first house, the wallpaper the furniture it all looks like it was last renovated in the 40s maybe early 30s very exciting to see all of that! A real find!

Wow! What great houses. I often wonder who lived there and what their life was like back in the day. All the doors, closets and cabinets left open drive me nuts! Lol. I would be shutting them all before I left. 😁 Keep up the great videos! I do enjoy seeing the history in all of the houses.

Those were awesome houses. The first quaker house i think i saw an old well near the front of the house too. What great finds. I really like the history you find about them. It really adds to the explore. Great job Kappy!

Save that for the end 🤣 LMAO. The second time you said it was hilarious cause I knew you would. I walked into a 1900 property in Pennsylvania 2 years back anticipating to rent and it had a creepy basement and exact notion Came over me when I looked down the old wooden staircase. For some reason consciously probably due to fear of never returning we just postpone till last in order to retrieve everything and save the worst for last. GREAT VIDEOS I've seen a few uploaders and I find myself drawn to yours. Please continue to make more just like this. I love historical energy relived.

Another awesome 😎💯 place kappy I hope it gets saved beautiful place Evan the foundation is in good shape nice find

I really liked the arched doorway inside the second house and the pond. Would love to have a pond 💜 beautiful view from the porch

Great explore. Thanks.

What a cool old farm house would of been sweet back in the day Thanks Kappy cool explore

The 1st property was wonderful in it’s day!!! Big, beautiful… loved the original doors, door casings, window, window casings, banisters, door hardware!!! Loved the outbuildings!!! Most houses had spring houses, all had outhouses!!! The indoor bathroom was put in later & not original to the house!!! Loved the cellar!!! I can just imagine all of their canning sin there on shelves 👍 The basement as well had shelves for canned goods!!! Loved seeing the heater & separate boiler in the basement, 2 forms of heating for different eras! The attic was well intact & I feel that, with an extensive amount of work, this place could be restored!!! The second house had such thick windows & doorways, indicative of the true stone facade! Sad that all of the timber in the house couldn’t have been saved 😞 The doors that were saved & stacked in that building could be restored & used in another project 😞😰😢 What a once beautiful house that home once was…sad to see it destroyed 😞😰😢 Thank you Kappy for sharing these 2 wonderful adventures with us!!! I truly loved them 👍🙏💕

Awesome places to explore. Would love to explore some abandoned places near me but know I wouldn’t be able to. So glad you take us with you. ❤

Nice old house. Loved the outhouse, though I didn't see any wasps nests, snake skins or Sears & Roebuck catalogs like the ones I used way back in the 1950s before some of my relatives had indoor toilets.

Appreciate the fresh content for Sunday morning

Did you see the walkway at 22:17? The barn probably sat at the end of it.

Incredible house and property. Certainly a piece of history. Those trees are so old. The house looks and seems to be very structurally solid, and the basement was dry. The second house was incredible as well. The timbers, stone, Also very solid. Thank you as always for more incredible explores

A twofer of two awesome 😎👍 places very cool the second house was very creepy

You can see from all the things there the people who lived there had to work sooooo hard at trying to survive .

Kappy, I never heard of cave crickets till I started watching your videos. It looks bigger on the outside than on the inside.

Definitely scary tunnel opening for halloween. The rest of it is quite interesting too.

This was a very cool home. the second was rough, but was nice to see what they look like.

When walking through abandoned buildings or seeing an old foundation I can't help but go into deep thought. I wonder if I am the last person that will ever see this or touch this.

Great houses As usual you allways find the most interesting and unusual homes I allways look forward to seeing your videos.

The first house would be great, too bad it will be destroyed though. Can tell the lady of the house really loved flowers by all the wallpaper, didn't understand the pink in the stairway though. That house had it all including the one seater as well lol. The second one was huge but in bad shape, all the birds are not great for old houses. Thanks for sharing and have a great day

Thanks kabby you are doing awesome videos

Nice wood floors ❤

I’m sure someone has said this, but I wish there was a way for people to look at a property like this and price what it would cost to create the house and the underground structure with plastered walls. It would be in the millions to create what is already there, if you could even have the large timbers and to create it in the same way, the building is already there. I sometimes think that the initial sticker shock of restoration cost to fit the existing building with modern HVAC and modern electrical versus building it from scratch in the way it was built originally. I just wish they would look at that. My point is nobody can afford to build a building at the level. These old houses are from the early 19th century with 10 inch Timbers holding them up and they should be saved.

Both houses were unique for sure. The 1st one had some really pretty wallpaper hung. But the set up was strange. I liked the simplicity of the 2nd place better. Im thinking maybe a share cropper? Another great video Mr Kappy. Thanks for taking me along.

Wow Kap love the wallpaper and the pink walls very interesting Keep up the good work !

The first house had a chimney in the attic. So someone closed it up. Also the steps up and we’re probably where one side or the other was added on. My childhood home was just like that.

Not so crazy on the first house but I love the summer kitchen!! Amazing it still stands !!! Outhouse was in good shape also though not my favorite thing to use !!!!!!!

That place could certainly be saved.
