Packed 171 year old Derelict House in South Carolina w/ Weird Room 

Kappy is about to get his 100k YT subscribers plaque! This guy has literally climbed thru every type of awesome and nasty to show us these beautiful old homes and capture some of the last footage of their existence before they are torn down and lost forever! He definitely deserves it & many, many more to come! 😎

Once upon a time this was somebody's pride and joy.

The weird room was called a craftsman's study. Built slowly over a long period of time. A place to escape the world for a time. A man cave as it were. Would have liked to see it as it was back in the day

The catalog that you couldn't find a date said "1992 Spring Catalog" at the top (it was upside down but I saw it) ; )

Amazing to think a boy could have been born in this house that later fought in the Civil War. House looks so much larger on the inside, unusual to have two "main" staircases.

That flower magazine said at top 1992.

Still can't imagine how many historical homes are standing. Love your videos. Thanks for sharing

The Tennessee house looked from the front like a once plantation house,and surprise is basically hollow from the back!! Kind of like a Hollywood prop!! Once was a beauty, thanks kappy,awesome!!

Love those huge wood-paneled walls. It's a real shame this place is abandoned and left to nature. Was beautiful in its prime. The home in Tenn, was awesome. I could see myself sitting in a rocking chair out on the second floor porch with a cool breeze blowing, sipping iced tea.

I live in SC and the town I live in is about 70% historical, several lovely antebellum homes. Your appreciation for old world architecture is refreshing and I love watching your videos.

The red glass in the sidelights of the door is Ruby glass, which was expensive in the antebellum years. I bet this house was beautiful.

The upstairs porch on the second house was beautiful!

Thank you Kappy for saving my dreary day.....now on to the video 💗🕊️

Thanks for sharing 👍. Nice older houses 🏘️👍

I loooove your 'ALONE' videos where you spend the night by yourself.. Need more of them please... :)

Wow man stone steps !! Those columns were cool !! A lot of furniture left behind !! Oh god not paneling !! The florescent light is hideous !! Now that's a odd little room !! That second home was a shame looked like someone was starting to remodel ......I wasn't sure of this till I noticed the chimney upstairs that was poured concrete over brick. It's a shame it was never finished at least you got it documented . Thank you for all you do to bring us these video's helping document what might be the last time theses wonderful old homes will be seen.👍👍

That first house kind of seems like a boarding home versus a family home, with the odd room being for some type of entertaining. The second house, DANG what a fabulous setting. Even stripped its easy to see it was a great place. Dang Kappy that stairway beckons let’s all pool our $ to rebuild that place. Great capture Kappy. Yep. Sweet is right

The strange room was constructed with what looked like leftover wood features for furniture, built-ins of the day, and paneling pieced together. The stage was gravy! Very cool. Love this video.

Love all the houses you show.

No signs of a bathroom in the first. Def looks like a man cave, I thought I saw the outline of a guitar in the one shot. Someone started remodeling the 2nd, for sure. Took a lot of work to do the demo and the concrete block. Mystery why they stopped! Another great video. Thanks!

Wow Brother . The second house was under extensive reconstruction . Done many myself . Did you see the old small chimney to the right side . First or starter home . In the first house , it had been added on to several times . Okay ,,,, the prop room . My Friend is in the 1970's we called a party room . And that's a fact ! Been in many and helped friends build a few . Lol !! Yes I am old !! Thanks,,,,,,

It is quite a shame. It must have been really nice back in the day !!! Looks like some people came n salvaged a lot of it so it won't all just get wasted in time. It's sad though that someone w money n know how couldn't have fixed the roof n restored it before it all got torn apart. Thanks for showing us this home. I love Tennessee. Be safe n keep 'em coming !!!!

Wow! This house is so awesome. Packed full of stuff. Beautiful old house.❤️

South Carolina has a lovely pine fresh scent in the country.

Well it would have been great to sit on that top porch in the second house looking at the view. Thankyou Kappy for finding two more of these refined & elegant houses. You are unique in persisting in finding these high quality old properties & making good, clear, steady videos. A unique record of unique houses, which will become of even more value as time passes. People will look on them even more keenly as more of the houses themselves crumble to dust. All the best.

2nd house upstairs view beautiful!

The second home with that upstair porch is so awesome. The house looks like it was being renovated but they stooped.I could just imagine back in the day seeing horse drawn carriages,beautiful scenery from that porch.

Hi Kappy. I bet this house was Beautiful back in the day. They did leave a lot of stuff. That's crazy. I love seeing these old Amazing houses. Thank You❤

That's the difference between a mansion and a large farm house. This house looks like a prosperous farmer's place. 1st house. The ruby glass above the door! (2nd house) At night it would glow red; possibly a clue the original (or maybe later) use of the house?! As always, a cool tour, thanks, Kappy.

Second house is a complete shame! Did you notice the the wooden pegs? It was interesting to see the bones of early construction! Thank you Kappy 🤗

These places were built to last.I love these old houses with porches,columns,fireplaces,and all the wood You find the coolest places.thank you.👍😍❤️

Great find!! If you zoom closely at the clothes in the closet maybe based on the style we can guess roughly the last time it was inhabited. Keep up the good work.

That back room was a bit interestingly odd. Loved the woodwork tho. The second house maybe someone was in the process of the doing it....doesn't look like vandalization but could've been repurposed maybe...weird but did like that chimney off to the side. Stay safe guys 💗🕊️

The Tennessee house was and hopefully is getting a complete redo. Someone has sunk a lot of money and work into it as it is. Concrete blocks looks new in that foundation. Concrete or cinder blocks don't date back much before 1920s and even then they didn't look like those

I saw an orb when Kappy said; "Ill show you the room to the right."

Gorgeous in it's day.A southern plantation!

Oh wow Kappy,this place is something else.I saved it to my favorites houses playlist.As I alwats say,please be safe in your explores .🌏🌏🌏

Loved the two old trees standing guard on either side of first house.

Thank you for your interesting old home finds. Beautiful properties. Need lots of work. Which takes lots of money to restore. They are money pits.

Hey Kappy! Another great video! I love old houses!

The first house: loved the weird room ~~ my favorite. The paneling / furniture they used to make it was gorgeous. Did I miss a bathroom? HAha. I think that the wall next to the stairway was an addition. Would probably have helped with droughts.

Oh my even though its falling down I'm in love with this house

The First House was the best out of all. Most interesting 🧐 Great Explore 😄

What a shame another beautiful old house bites the dust! If only those walls could talk! Thanks for sharing Kappy!

As so many of these I see, I still can’t fathom why they were just left. So many many stories these houses could tell and all the stories would for various reasons, be so sad I would think!

Seeing that you have a new post is better than Christmas for me. Whoa. Wood and brick. nice. What did you call those walls? I didn't catch it. Like those stairs. I wanted that old door you just passed on the first floor. Love those old windows, and that doorknob is gorgeous. The weird room there first registered with me as saloon decor. That old wood is gorgeous. You know, I kinda like that weird room. It is really quirky. Saloon. That look upstairs made me queasy. It's kinda claustrophobic making. I do like that long shot you first did on the second floor. Nice light. I love those wood walls. That blue room is so BLUE. But the windows make up for it. That big dark room just felt sad. The bricks are my thing. A second house. COOL. It's like the door and the windows. My fingers are itching. This was a beautiful house, and she's beautiful in her broken glory. I love the bones. The wood and the brick are weirdly soothing to me. I feel a sense of deja vu with this house. Not sure why. That porch is lovely. I noticed one of the upstairs windows propped open. lol. Would you ever consider taking a viewer on a tour with you? That would be the coolest. Thanks for this post.

Another, Great Videp Kappy, Should get a Pin Pointer, and go around the fire places, Alot of Times, people Hid their Money, Jewelry etc..Stay Safe...

HOUSE #1 The red Henry Fields catalogue was 1992. It's so cool that you can tell how many generations and how things have advanced by what they left behind. I love that so much of the original woodwork/structure of the house was preserved. That room you said was weird...man, was it ever. It looks like somebody just took random furniture pieces, of furniture pieces, and nailed them to the wall and then painted them all the same color. Odd, but still kinds cool. It looks like, as you came up the stairs that there was a hinge for a lock that you would use with a padlock to block off the upstairs. The door is gone so, of course, the other part of the lock is gone. This house has certainly gone through many transformations. And, you are only now going upstairs. Wow! All the upstairs rooms were freakin' huge. Maybe I missed it. But, was here a bathroom anywhere? I don't recall you mentioning one. HOUSE #2 The outside of this house is so pretty, even now. Looks are certainly deceiving with this place. I'm shocked that the staircase is still intact. And it looks really sturdy. Surprising that, for just a shell of a house, there is very little rain damage. Great homes, thanks for sharing.

Thanks Kappy. Stay safe. You know the snakes are out this time of year!!!

5:55 Lahey's fancy room. Lots o sippypoohs have been had there. Surrounded with vintage knick-knacks, book learnin material and the best music. It's a home away from home in the home.

Thx Knappy 👍❤️

Do you know the meaning behind the expression, "God bless you." Kappy? In ancient times, people believed that sneezing would expel evil from your body and saying “God bless you” kept those evil spirits from re-entering. There are other beliefs, but I think mine is the best one. YMMV ; ) Those rotary phones still work perfectly fine unless you have to press buttons for a computerized phone line that wants you to press option buttons from a list of services provided by the company. The paneling was very strange, but did match the timeline for the phone. lol Gave me a 70-80's vibe. A lot of stuff left behind in the first house. Not so much in the second. Just pretty much bare bones. Your videos are always worth a watch. Thanks, Kappy.

Magazine had 1992 as the date. Fabulous find! Be safe always!

Second house was in process of being restored they replaced whole foundation with block

The Henry Fields gardening catalogue on the table says 1992. 😂. I know my flower catalogues! But thx for the tours, I love the properties and can just imagine the views!

Thanks urban Exploring with Kappy it was a very interesting video about the packed 171 year old Derelict house in south carolina w/ weird room it was one house that had very big rooms and one house that was pulled a part and i can't wait to see your next video my friend and God Bless and thanks again.

Thank you for showing the kitchen and yes very cool rotary dial phone on the wall.. that's something I rarely see in my antique vintage travels is a wall phone with the rotary. Desk phone yes I have one but not wall phone. That would have been a great kitchen back in the day plenty of room to move around in they don't make them like that anymore. Anna In Ohio

Hi, Zane! I loved the video. Thanks!

So glad to see your post after a nap on this rainy afternoon. Always something to discover and learn with you. Always love to see those wide halls. The red transom in the 2nd house. Thanks for sharing. Fascinating as always. ❤️

Also,I can't wait till next week when I order more tabloids and magazines for my collection.Im still collecting ones from the 70s to 90s.It was great,as always, seeing everything left behind.🧁

Beautiful view off the second story porch in Tennessee. As a resident of S.C. its sad knowing so many houses like the one you explored are going to waste. Good job on both of these places.

Second house: You obviously did not hear me scream thru my phone NOOOO! when you said you thought you could make it upstairs. 🙈 enjoyed the vid, but that’s a bit too “open concept “ for me…haha. In both houses, shame the mantelpieces were gone but I hope they found good homes! Safe travels~~ Deb in VA

That one room that was thought odd was probably someone’s dream “gentleman’s cave” back in the day complete with a place to stage plays. It looks like it may have been built soon after the home as the woodwork is very mid 19th century

The weird room in the first house looked like all the fireplace mantels were covering the walls, which would explain why none were on the fireplaces. A bit of an eccentric weird vision of creativity. The second house looks like wood salvage is going on, which is better to re-purpose it. than let it all rot, old wood is precious and all wood is expensive these days.

I'm just voicing an opinion. But the 1 room downstairs with the dark wood is probably original to the house. It just has that "feel" to it. Ahhhhhh, there it is! The dreaded wasps nest! Didnt see wasps on it though so you lucked out! The second place looked like someone was demolishing and maybe reusing or repurposing parts out of. Heck idk. I'm guessing. Both places were great to tour with you. Thanks for taking me along!

Love the birds chriping

And another Wow ,,,,, I just noticed you have 98.5 thousand SUBSCRIBERS ! Congratulations Man ! Very Cool ! Later,,,,

How sad that the fireplace mantels were all gone. It's a shame of whoever owned it or abandoned it. It was a very cool house. That's a massive fireplace in the 2nd house. It's a wonder the 2nd house survived the civil war and wasn't burned down or something.

Always enjoy your videos. You are so close 100k subs. It will happen soon!

I found the Tennessee house my favorite. It looked to me as if someone was dismantling it and maybe selling off the architectural salvage. But it was nice to see the exposed post and beam frame construction. Well done!

Hey Kap! Down here in Georgia those things around a fireplace are called Mantelpiece or fireplace mantels. My maternal grandparents had a beauty that moved from house to house. Their last place was very small, no fireplace but the mantelpiece was set in the tiny living room with a gas heater in the opening. It got passed down to a cousin who has passed and we no not where it resides. And just like all the houses you've shown, some with very beautiful mantels left to rot, it breaks my heart. At least I got my Granny's 4 poster bed that goes back beyond me(1946). It's traveling a straight line of girls: my Mother, me, my oldest daughter, to her ONLY daughter. It will pass from her to one of my other daughters, for she only a son. But I digress. LOL I love that SC house and would love to ramble around in there myself. Can't do that tho, without permission and can't get permission without knowing who to ask, and can't ask because YOU WON'T TELL ME! 😂 🧡

It looks to have been salvaged from heavily while leaving the overall faded beauty of days gone by. Nice way to go about it!

Has everything *but* the kitchen sink... Lol 04:49 Love the thin wood strips on walls and shipboard. Bet it was beautiful when it was built.

Thanks Kappy for 2 more great explores! Had to use my imagination a bit on the second one! Loved the porch! ✌

That porch though!! Beautiful!! The original woodwork is amazing! 😊I can’t make out what that section could be. I think you’re right, it looks like a stage but I’m not sure why they would have one in a house. Lol! Maybe plays during the war? Thanks for sharing Kappy! Stay safe and can’t wait for the the next amazing find! 😊

I bet this old house was amazing beautiful back in the day.😊💗🕊️ Such a waste and sad to see this house go out like this. 😥

Another great one,Thanks Kappy!

I've watched and enjoyed many of your videos, but I've never gotten an eerie, sinister vibe before like I did from the South Carolina house! It just felt ominous and oppressive. Totally unsettling. I was glad when you got outta there 😯😳😕. Loved the Tennessee house. That upstairs porch was awesome!!! 😊

Good evening Kappy absolutely love your videos your my favorite 😍

That Henry Field's seed and plants magazine you had is actually a company founded where I grew up in Shenandoah, Iowa. My whole family had been employed there at on point until it shut down. Crazy to see all the way in South Carolina especially how small Shenandoah is. Henry fields is no longer, but when you look it up it seems Gurney's took it over.

Thank you Kappy, for the awesome video!!

When you said let me see if I can find a date 1992 was right there in big print😂🥰

Hey Kappy, I think it's nice the fire place mantels have been removed. There probably being reused in other homes . I have one as a matter of fact. I love it . And think if it could talk the story s it could tell. I wish you would wear a mask to protect you from mold and dust ect. Thanks for the tour. Another fine job !

Looks like the second house was being reinforced and rebuilt. Beautiful upstairs front porch.

I really like your calm explores and interesting editing style x

Thanks, Kappy. Love your videos. I can't go there, but you take me there. Keep doing what you do, it is appreciated.

Interesting to find part of that open staircase had been enclosed in the first house. Was waiting to see where the servant staircase would have come up to the second floor in the second house….

Look at an old plantation located in Edgefield, SC on Plum Branch Road. It has recently been sold but perhaps the new owners will let you do a walk through. It still has what I believe to be a lean to type of church in the back yard. Was posted by real estate online.

The upper level porch on the Tennessee house is really beautiful! Thank you for another great video!

Staircase styles say so much about antique homes, in comparison. The most luxurious mansions have gracefully sweeping, broad staircases with wide steps placed on gentle, gradual inclines, for climbing ease. Some have double staircases symetrically installed within extra-large, grand center halls, in homes that hosted lots of company. More working-class type townhouses and farmhouses have steeper staircases with narrower steps. Tiny cottages usually have very narrow and steep, winding staircases, often enclosed with doors.

“Wonder if I can find a date…….I don’t see any” there’s a spring catalogue right in front of him with 1992 on it. 😅

Wow. Was a big home. Another good video

Wow beautiful but so sad at the same time to think that whoever lived there just left it would be interesting to hear any back story on what might have happened. 🇦🇺

That first big place was interesting, would like to know what that one room was used for. Looks like someone started to dismantle the second house to either sell it or for restoration. Looks like the project stopped a while ago. Both great places. Thanks, Kappy

That magazine said 1992 on it. The line under the title. 😉

The homes of the 1800s, unusually had a men's drawing room, to the right of the front entrance, the ladies drawing room to the left of the front entrance. The walls would be very ornate with dark mahony paneling in the men's drawing room, and light color paint or wallpaper with flowers. The one room off the kitchen most likely is the formal dinning room, that had the mahony colored wood panels.

Interesting house & I like the informal style of the gardens.

Wow thanks for another great video 🙂

One totally incongruous bit at 15:17 - the whole back of the house is gone and yet it looks like someone actually stuck something into one of the windows to hold it open! Also it looks like the ghost of an earlier house is there in the chimney standing alone off on the side.

What a great explore. Someday the ceiling will just collapse so thank you so much for posting this before it is no longer able to enter. This was a beautiful home many years ago. Great job guys :o)
