That house would have been so homey. That wallpaper gives it a comfortable feeling. I would have loved to curl up in a chair in that corner by fireplace in living room to read a book! Love it!
I absolutely LOVE this house and I bet the people who lived here did too. It breaks my heart to think of what they went through when they had to leave it (obviously suddenly). I'm betting that those curtains were all hand made because they're all made from the same fabric and each one perfectly fits the window it's in. That baby's picture upstairs just broke my heart. And you're right - a marble topped commode upstairs would have been a very expensive piece of furniture. Thanks so much for sharing this place with us!
Holy cow is right! This sweet farm house looks like at one point in time there was so much love & care poured into it. It just says,"Home Sweet Home" to me. Thank you :)
Wow I would love to have the money to fix up a place like this that sink is called a farm sink they put them in new kitchens now! Boy a lot of nice things left behind! Thanks Kappy for showing!
That was a sweet little farm house. The wallpaper is old and it was called flocked wallpaper. The oil lamps and blanket chest were awesome.Good find and it wasn't falling apart. Stay safe.
What an incredible time capsule! There didn't appear to be any bathroom. I think that the house could have been built around 1800. Notice the construction of the basement and the extra wide, random length floor boards upstairs.
That first floor is one of my favorites ever. Wallpaper in kitchen is adorable. Gold eagles must be 70s. Those floors on the second floor were about 10 inches wide. And that curve in the wall. Wow. ❤️
I was thinking more likely the 1950's - remember the eagle above the fireplace on "Ozzie & Harriet?" I think salmon was a 50's color as well, but it definitely makes the kitchen Adorable !!! :)
Such a cute house in its day. My Granny had the same salt box that is above the kitchen sink. I loved the rose print wall paper in the closet upstairs! It's so sad they left behind the hope chest upstairs. And my Granny LOVED those plastic 70's fake flowers. lol I guess because you could just rinse them under some water and they were like new again! lol So many flashbacks from my 70's childhood.
Kappy~ I think that this may be one of my favorite explorers that you've uploaded! All of those personal belongings just wasting away. SO many cool cabinets & woodwork in this home too! Thanks Kappy!!!
Beautiful baby. Love the wallpapers, the built ins. This house is much like most while I was growing up, much of the same furnishings, kitchen items and decoration. We didn’t think that much of it back then. Now it is endearingly memorable. Just when I think these videos cannot get any better, every single one does. Priceless.
Loved the curved walls upstairs. A few cool antique furniture pieces, i.e., hope chest in bedroom, desk, marble topped cabinet, kitchen sink. It's kinda funny to be old enough to recognize so much kitchen stuff like plates, canisters, pots (even the Mr. Coffee pot in the living room (?), that either I, my mom, or my grandmother had. That oval baby picture in the upstairs hallway, had a real plaster-of-paris frame on it, judging by the white substance showing under the gold leaf or painted frame with some pieces broke off it. Also,that is the first home that you've shown/l've seen that has real log beams in the basement ...my 87yr old mothers' house has the same, and we trace her home being built at least back to 1900's, but we feel it is older than that. Thanks again, as usual, your the best!
I can't help say this is another great find again. Looks cozy inside. Not in bad shape. The wallpaper in the kitchen looks like a big Christmas present. That little secretary's desk against the wall looks like it's from the twenties. That cedar chest in the bedroom could be a Lane.The blue table upstairs with the marble on it looks like it might have been a dry sink at one time and the people put a piece of marble on it. I've never seen logs as floor joist before. Really cool build. Have a great week.
The blue cupboard with the marble top is called a comode . It actually came with the marble top. It would have held a bowl and pitcher for washing up. I had one that I removed seven layers of paint from , and it was made from a really pretty oak.
@@jewelcopeland3374 Yes, and I'll bet it had a really nice finish under that paint---and a chamber pot behind the double doors. Even the mundane had beauty in those days. Merry Christmas!
yeah...Duh! as an old time house explorer these modern guys drive me nuts with they're 1/2 ass'd exploring. You'd shit and call me a liar if I told you some of the stuff I've found in old houses
old folk also hid money in books tween the pages, loose floor boards, specially in closets and always hit the attic. AND colonial German households had the practice of buring jars with coinage around the house to bring good luck was well as a jar of coins in the wall over the front door as the house was being built also for luck. Years ago in the Tocony flea market in NJ a guy bought an old picture, behind that old pic was an original copy of the Declaration of Independence. www.nytimes.com/1991/04/03/arts/declaration-of-independence-found-in-a-4-picture-frame.html this article states it was found in PA but remember it being reported it was found in the NJ one.
You know Kappy, even if there may not be a lot of furniture or stuff left behind, it is still a very wonderful and interesting experience to be able to see these old and historic homes. Thank you!! Great video.
Just watching this is unique so beautiful abandoned what a shame give this a make over fetch it to our time speechless beats modern stuff whats here today lve always said back in them days things were alot better and nicer omg you said it stinks you should wear a mask old units kettle marble pictures are this is bloody priceless thankyou for sharing this bless you take care
I wish someone would restore this home. This is one that should not be left to just rot away. I love the way you film. You pan around the room slowly so the person watching can take in everything. I love that. I feel like I am there with you. That's a sign of a good filmographer. I just subscribed. You should teach a class on how to film for these other abandoned house explorers. They obviously are hurrying cuz they trespassing, but since you are there you might as well film it right. Just saying.
Wonderful little house. The people who lived there must have been very content. Looks like the last person who lived there must have died suddenly, very sad.
Great find! Large fireplace in the basement used for cooking I imagine. The Wood burning stove in kitchen was for heat and cooking too. This house could be saved if someone had money.
I was thinking about commenting about that big basement fireplace and I'll bet you're right, Sharon, they might've done cooking down there. A lot of 18th and 19th century homes had kitchens in the basement (I think Mount Vernon had it there, too!).
That little piece with the marble top is a commode. They were used years ago to hold a chamber pot underneath, and a pitcher and bowl on top. That’s a nice one. Whoever left this and the kitchen table, living room desk, and chest upstairs apparently didn’t know what was valuable. Interesting house. Very simple farm house.
Loved it! They just don't build them like this anymore. These are the "explores" I enjoy the most. Condition is still not so decayed and falling down that you cannot still make out the structure and family items and furniture left behind. It all tells a story. I especially loved the old picture hanging of the infant. I would love to collect framed pictures from that era and just hang them throughout my home! Treasures for sure!
Another AWSOME video, Kappy, Thank You!!! Hard to believe the house has been vacant for so long, and left relatively untouched. I loved the storage chest, hope it doesn't go to waste.
Urban Exploring With Kappy always is able to find the interesting old houses! I always like to look behind old pictures and art work that is on the wall bc someone could of hid money there. 👍
Brings up so many memories from my childhood. Family had a kitchen sink like the one in this house and storage jars like the one for sugar. Was there no bathroom?
Adorable farm house with a unusual design inside. Loved the little light above the kitchen sink with the rooster lamp shade. Also loved the commode chest with the marble top with the flowers and electric candle stick still placed as if they just went to the store and will be home soon. Seems it was once a happy home. It all made me smile, thanks.
That marble top piece of furniture upstairs is absolutely GORGEOUS!! I would love to have that and it's just sitting there!!! For years!!! Going unappreciated!!! 😔😔😥😭😭😭
Wait Kappy, we have to figure out how to get into the attic! What an awesome old house, i love it. The wallpaper, the wide plank floors. Oval photo of a baby at the top of the stairs. That odd curving wall. The armchair and rug in the living room. Yes, sign me up please. I can move in.
Rhonda Beigert thank you for watching! Unfortunately the attic access was covered in vulture poo, the attic door is shown at 6:30 on the left. If I had boots I’d have checked it out but It smelled pretty bad as well! Sorry about that!
That was an old house! I loved the beams in the basement. So glad you walked back over to that marbled top washstand. You can count on it being made in the 1800's. It was shorter in HEIGTH than my two and the base was painted but I bet there's something pretty hardwood under that paint. The copied painting over fireplace may have been a Wyeth copy. Not sure. Great find! Looks like they just stepped out for a walk downstairs.
Jan Warner. It is a Wyeth print. I don’t think the wash stand was anything but a modest late 1800’s stand. The marble which has a fineness about it and looks out of place on the simple stand. I couldn’t believe it when Kappy just casually swept his camera past the huge basement fireplace. This main cooking fireplace dates this house to the early, early 1800’s. The built in cabinets in the living room are also original and help dare the house. My guess would be that the present day living room was in fact the dining doom where special dinnerware would be on display. A really charming house with a lot of potential.
Oh Lord look at the Antiques and look at the marble on the Antiques. I love that old house. It looks to be at one time a very lovely home with children playing and a fireplace going. Thank you for the video I will continue watching
I really like your videos. You are so careful to take time and a close look at the interesting details instead of staging for effect and moving on. I’ve noticed that unless you are looking for a date or something very relevant you keep your hands on your camera and let the houses speak for themselves. Very enjoyable and much appreciated. This was interesting in that part of the house was empty and part looked like an attempt to pack but the kitchen gave the impression that someone was in the middle of preparing a meal and just walked away.
Kappy, l was kind of stunned when you casually walked by the massive old fireplace in the basement. The fireplaces in the basement of these homes really help to date them to the very early 1800’s. I’ll have to rewatch to get a peep of what l feel is the most interesting feature in the house.
I am working on getting back too and refilming this house! Fingers crossed it hasn’t been torn down in the years since! Think I could really do a much better video!
Now this is what I'm talking about. This place is fantastic. i love the wall paper and the small cook stove in the kitchen. I would love to sit a big pot of stew on that and let it cook there all day for supper. Oh my goodness I would think you could just walk in that room sit and have tea served to you and the built ins how fantastic to find something like this. The tongue and groove wall is beautiful. Such a great find. thank you.
that was a fad for some time for people to have those two pictures the boy is called "The Blue Boy" by Thomas Gainsborough and the little girl is called "Pinkie". My mother had them, also. several of the things in the kitchen remind me of things my mother had or would have liked to have had.
I’m in love with that house! Such a homey warm feeling there. I so wish someone would fix it up. Can you imagine how gorgeous it would be especially if all the antiques were used. Those curved walls are fascinating. We have a couple old houses in our town with those.
What a pretty old house you can tell by the furniture they had great taste.... I saw a few things in the cupboard that I actually have found and purchased from a antique store.
Seriously a sweet place. It never will cease to amaze me how these places come to just sit. And I will always be grateful for your simple and genuine filming and editing. Can’t stand all the “haunted” and “creepy” stuff. Some of it is creepy, I get it. But it speaks for itself without the extra music and drama. Thank you!
I would love to have and fix this home up. It's so homey! I would keep 90% of the items, have me a big craft room, raise me some hens and a rooster just to hear him crow at the break of dawn. Love it.
You can tell its been invaded and ramshackled. Most likely trespassers be looking for valuable assets or hidden treasures. Antique Style Home is the best. Nice Video Guys.
How wonderful this place would be cleaned and freshened love those corner cabinets and the Andrew Wyeth print over the fireplace. Hope it gets a new life. 🥰
What an amazingly beautiful home. Very nice in the time you took in each room. I am just about ready to start with the wainscoatting and wallpaper to my front room. We had that in the farm house I grew up in the 50 and 60's and I liked it then and wish to recreate some of that feeling now. Thank you for the skill you use in your videos. Much appreciated and enjoyed. Thank you.
Very nice house. The tree timbers in the basement is something I haven't seen before. The wallpaper was uh.... love the marble top stand was nice. So sad it's just decaying. Wait. No bathroom? Nice video Kappy. You did it justice. God bless.
Me with ya Louise, finally I have seen a Pinkie and blueboy paintings at 4:00. That's what mom and dad had when I was little on the large living room wall without the paneling. LOL. I would live there with Louise and we need to see what they are doing with it.
👍 Another Great Find Kappy... And I'm very grateful to the tin roof and the brick exterior siding for the lack of deterioration and reasonable good condition of the once lively nice old farm house!... 😃
What an awesome find! People spend lots of money to have a "country kitchen" , it's perfect decorated. A lot of love was put in decorating. Liked the fireplace in the basement too! A shame someone didn't keep the place up.
Thanks Kappy for sharing with me this video about the Plenty LEFT Inside Sweet ABANDONED HOUSE From The 1850’s I really enjoyed it Kappy it was a nice old house and thank you my friend for sharing it with me today i really enjoyed it very much and I can't wait to see your next video and God Bless and thanks again.
I BET IF THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN SOMEWHERE IN MY COUNTRY (INDIA ) , THE SQUATTERS WOULD HAVE LOVINGLY MADE THIS HOUSE AS THEIR OWN . WE DON'T HAVE AN IOTA OF SPACE LEFT FOR HUMAN CONSUMTION (DWELLING) . GOD HAVE MERCY . SWAP PLACES OVER .
That house still had a lot of potential. New metal roof, chimney work, plastering, electrical, and plumbing, and landscaping. The bones are good. I grew up in an 1840s house.
There was something about this house that made you welcomed. The sink was just like the one that grandma had. The desk was beautiful. Hope someone saves her before to much more damage occurs. Thanks for sharing
That 1st "nice" piece of furniture you found was a cedar chest/hope chest. That's exactly like my mothers from the mid 50's. In the next room(the blue with marble top) is actually what they call a dry sink where people have a wash basen. It was originally not blue but obviously painted and decorated and I can bet it was done close to 1975 (just guesting by the artifacts dated the era & wallpaper) lol that's probably the last time that poor house was painted.
This house is so cool , makes me wish I had the money to refurbish this place and live in it. So much history in this place. Thanks for the journey happy !
Loved this house, thanks for showing us around 👍 I loved the old sink too, if it wasn’t for the upstairs being damaged I’d say The house was perfect it just needed a bit of TLC
EARTH ANGEL 😇 THIS was a nicely built home at one time 💕 LOVE old brick houses ! NICE fireplaces, and old iron stove; was that a brick floor in kitchen?? SWEET old porcelain farmers kitchen sink, brass finger-lamp and milk glass lamp neat! Near corner cupboard portraits of “blue boy” & “ Pinky”!!😄 OLD commode with Marlboro top ,nice. LOTS of stuff,but not really of great value! Why abandoned??? 👍🤩😎😍👍
kappy, i just love that old farmhouse!....lots of stuff & the fireplace in the basement(which is where they used to cook at) was a plus!, it was a little weird construction on the second floor with it being round like that. Thank you for the video!
This one is definitely one of my favorites. And no graffiti! So much cool stuff, another pickers paradise. That one single picture of the kid when you go upstairs is a bit creepy, but I want it. Great video.
What a cool home! Glad you found it, Kappy. I loved the fact that no vandals or taggers have found it so far. Like a lot of the early commenters, I wondered where the bathroom was. They must have had running water inside, just as the place had been wired for electricity, even the basement. I have a kind of hunch that there might have been a sofa and possibly another upholstered chair in that cozy living room. Somebody with some buck$---and possibly a big family with sturdy guys and gals---could probably bring this place back to livability again. (As always, I wonder where they put their Christmas tree each year?) BTW, I've been wishing for quite a while if one of your regulars would know how to alert Dan Bell to your great explorations? We need to get your numbers up!
