Revisit/Update: 6BR Chimney fire abandoned farmhouse. 

What a great house! I wanted to give you a tip about stairways in these abandoned buildings. Never climb or descend stairs following the center tread. If the stairs are going to break through, it will be in the center b/c it’s the most traveled. Go from side to side. Left side first step, right side second step, etc. Thanks for the tour!

Your videos make me so heartbroken! Farm houses are a love of mine! Forgotten gems!

Beautiful home. Just imagine the activity that it used to have.

What a cool house n huge. In its time it had to be a beauty. I was impressed for someone to even plastered the walls in the basement. Oh boy would of love to have seen it in its day. U had mentioned who would of needed a house this big well if u got lots of kids n possibly grandparents living with u. Thanks for sharing ♥️

What an absolutely wonderful home this must have been in it’s day. Seems almost salvageable still today. Although adding a couple of showers would be a top priority! But the house does, in fact, seem to have been a happy place. The wear on those stairs just puts you in the mind of the Walton’s! Yep, you can still hear the echoes of laughter. Thanks, very nice video.

What a cool house! Such a shame for it to rot away😔

Neat house,! Right before they tore down my childhood home I went by n walked thru it... Was a weird feeling....was built originally by my great grandparents n 3 generations lived there.... Over time....

Very cool. Make me want to say, Good night John boy!

Thanks for sharing. Hope you aren’t by yourself. You could stumble onto an angry squatter or even a dead body. And what would happen if the floor gave way and you were badly injured? Be safe out there and don’t go alone!!!

I have explored about 4 abandoned houses around my area. There is one in particular that I am dien to look in. It's been a while since I passed by there, but I hope it is still there. This makes me want to get back into it even more. I love your videos.

Thank you for documenting these houses. When I was growing up in Minnesota I loved to look at the old farms. I always imagined what the lives of those families were like, and what the houses looked like on the inside. My parents considered buying and renovating a few, but found it to be too costly. My favorite was a large house like this that I called the "see through house" because it had the windows busted out. For years would see it alone in the fields until one time I went by and it was gone. So sad.

Interior Designer here, woke to a dream where I am sweeping an old space.... Was nasty neat as a child, broken both wrists, but need to sweep, aiways happy to clean and sweep. studied the History of Architecture in Design School, have much respect for older HOMES.....

Hey, totally awesome find! I like how most of this farmhouse hasn't been altered too much since it was built. There's some renovations, but very few it seems. Woodwork in this huge house is gorgeous. Nothing like a solidly built, heavy built house! Nice craftsmanship. Love how a lot of these old farmhouses had thick wooden trim, much of which was probably hand crafted. And you're totally right about this house being in as good a shape as it is. Must still have a decent roof. Love how the siding is original too, not aluminum or vinyl. Too bad it's going to waste! What a massive old gem! I bet the original owners were quite wealthy. Looks maybe 1880s? Give or take? Not sure but nice place stuck in time! Makes one wonder just what it was like, farm life etc, back when this was built! Horse and buggy days, hard work back then, hard times I imagine but wow what a nice piece of history in almost original form!!!

That house looked repairable. The floor joists were in excellent shape. It is big. Implies they had a big family. Good tour.

Very good. On the first staircase I saw the depressions made by many feet going up and down. All the stove pipe openings were probably the first type of heating? Before all the more modern duct work and oil furnace was installed. I really liked this explore.

My aunt had 14 children, that's who needs a house that big!! Enjoyed the video.

I always have loved these older homes especially when they have older plumbing fixtures. I absolutely love the colors & tile work in the bathroom. The toilet looks to be a 1946-1950s "Standard" (American Standard) Modernus.

Beautiful birds singing... I am sure this was a “sweet” home in its day.. lots of quality. Love the blue tile in bathroom.. lots of bedrooms.... great explore.

love that older dresser 50's early 60's id guess very well made unlike todays pressed wood garbage

🏡Wow..Amazing how intact this house still is after all these years!! I loved this old house! Thank you so much for sharing ! 🏡

I was at the edge of my seat almost the whole time watching this video. I loved it Thank you!

The homes you find are so amazing! Thank you for sharing with us. You sound so Canadian too!

Another great video..really big, old house, can imagine a big family living there & being happy. Thanks for sharing it. Be careful & stay safe.

The stove pipe holes, the lathe and plaster walls all indicate that the house was built pre 1970’s. Looks like some upgrades were made over the years. Nice big house!

I grew up not far from Owatana and we used to go shopping there sometimes. I have a nephew that lives in Watertown. I wonder if farm workers could have lived in the basement and that's why there are chimney pipe holes down there for wood burning stoves? Great video, glad you went back!

Considering the dilapidated condition of the house, the blue tiles in the bathroom were in good condition! So sad these old homes are left to rot away😞

Didn’t realize you were in Minnesota, until I saw 612 on phone, love it!!

That house definitely could be saved at the time of abandonment. My bet is The insurance check gave them just enough to go shopping for a place that doesn't cost 500 dollars a month in utility bills. I was raised in houses like that and saw my parents suffer and scrape just to keep the heat on, and the electric bill was no joke either.

Such a gem this house! Shame about the fire! I was terrified at each turn suddenly a raccoon would attach to your face,lol I am such a baby I couldnt explore like you do but I so want to see these stunning old farms, so it is so kind of you to film them all for us. Thanks!

That house now has central heating but in the old days all the rooms would have had their own wood stove. I am surprised as a firefighter that they got that chimney fire out before it consumed the home.

It's really cool watching your older videos and going through the comments. 😉

Wow. That General Electric oven tho... Beautiful ! Easily more reliable than most shit we have today lol

I'm a new sub! I love finding people that explore abandoned places in MN, since I'm not brave enough to do it myself! I live a couple towns away from Owatonna, MN

I love the sound of Robins in the summer!

This makes me so sad 😥 we bought a 112 year old farmhouse just over a year ago that needed some "love" but was not dilapidated... The one next to our property, and across the street are starting to become such. One went to auction and got not one offer, the other, family members are holding out for 20k...I offered 10k cash..no go. It should go to auction soon for taxes, so fingers crossed we can save her.

They don't build today like they did then. It was a craft. I would hate to have to heat that place.

Oh my goodness all those canning jars what a shame they didn't take them as a canner made my heart pitter patter lol. What a beautiful house such a shame it isn't being rehabbed. The kitchen is awesome. Anna In Ohio.

This house is only slightly smaller than the house I grew up in (an eight bedroom Victorian). Thankfully that house is still in magnificent condition. It's a shame someone doesn't buy this one and fix it up, though. I mean this could easily be transformed into a breathtaking house if someone put a little effort in. Looks pretty sturdy, too!

What a stunning house this is even now. I have just found your channel and looking forward to watching more of your finds

Love that house. Wish I had a bit of money....would be awesome to restore and bring back to life.

I'm in love 💙 with the house and jealous of you for getting to see it lol.

Just doing a binge watch. FINALLY, I'm done working the overnight so I can spend some time looking at videos. Hope you are well!

I am also in love with the layout of the rooms. Especially the second floor

A friend of mine his garage burned down... and yeah the rest of the house was covered in soot just like that even though it wasn't on fire.... they repaired his house and cleaned it out... had to replace a lot of his stuff due to damage from the soot though.

You are SO brave! Lol! You maybe should wear mask when you go in where there's black mold

Always fun to explore.

Oh my gosh, my boyfriend & i do what you do and we found this house too!! It was the first house we ever found. That area is beautiful and has lots of abandoned homes :)

When you say hello.. I'm going to die laughing if someone say hello to you... LMAO

This is old,but the basement rooms may have been domestic help rooms, this the stove pipe holes. Or farm hands.

Very cool old farmhouse. A shame it's wasting away. Nice job and thanks for showing us :)

I hate it when they enclose the front porch. It just ruin the look of the house. Why do people just let fall houses fall into ruin. Sell it someone that will live there and care about the house

I don't know where you do all this. I love it all it's amazing. If you ever do this in South Dakota or Wyoming take me with you! I know of great places I wanna check out!

when i drove 4 ATS i saw pleny of old farms m.t. but because i was a trucker. had no time to stop. saw some over by coldsprings off highway 23

my retirement- in a huge Farmhouse with all my greens, fowls and fauna- and hog raising...

Must have had lovely woodwork! They sure did take it, crumbles!!

I'd love to know the history of all abandoned places. This house would have been awesome in its day. I try to imagine the families who lived there. I bet it was wonderful. So sad to see it in decay :-(.

Wow, what a house. Just imagine what it used to look like.

Just because you didn't see anyone doesn't mean there's not a presence there......lol

And yet we have homeless..... Let's put them to work so that they can EARN a home.............

Interesting looking house, love that light green paint color they used to use, like in this home, especially when it's with natural stained woodwork. I'd say it is a Foursquare as far as architecture, and I'd guess it was built around 1918. The furnace was originally coal fired gravity fed, as you see the cast iron registers on the walls, with large round ducts, but the newer furnace has all rectangular ducts, which I find odd in a residence.

This house can still be saved yeah a lot of work and money but the outside still looks good I'd gut the whole thing and remodel with plasterboard wiring and plumbing make the one main stair up to code but would be a good home

Digging the intro music dude.. great stuff!

I love this house out of all the houses I’ve seen on utube!

I must say you are one brave man..." jumpy" lol its a big beautiful house. big Attic and basement

This is very well done thank you for sharing

You mentioned you looked up the history. Have you thought of putting the age of the house or roundabout age if you come across it while looking up the history? That would be a great fun fact to add❤️

That engine block laying in the basement is a flat-head Ford V8.

Why oh why do people abandon these places? Surely someone would want it. That could be such a cool house! And it’s so big. I love it, heck you could have fit a whole apartment in that attic. Thank you for recording it for posterity.

I've been binge watching your videos tonight and one thing I'd like to ask is please... _please_ stop spending more time on the contents of these gorgeous old farmhouses and focus more on the architecture. Yeah, I know people like to rummage and see other people's leftovers. But maybe you can find a happy medium? You're finding all of these gorgeous old places to share with us and I'm absolutely loving seeing them but, honestly, I don't really care about other people's discarded garbage. So if you're going to take the time to explore these awesome examples of architecture, please show as much of them as you can. If people want to see other people's discarded clothing, shoes, dishes, please take them to a second hand store. I've finally bought my property and I'm using yours and others' videos as templates as to how I want my own house to look. A lot of times, you overlook entire areas of a house just to focus on discarded junk. _Please_ focus on the details of the house. *You* find the _best_ places!

those baby shoes atop the stove are the saddest sight-there were once children living here-life, love, and hope for the future. Now just a ghost of the past.

Thankyou for sharing your visit.

Such a sad old house. The basement may have been servants' or farm workers' quarters at one time with all those separate rooms and vents for small, separate wood heaters.

Love your channel....great finds.Being in a neighboring state(wi)makes it quite interesting too.

The wood may turn black due to heat (pyrolysis) and soot. The fire spread because the chimney likely was poorly maintained. Loose mortar can allow hot gasses to escape and ignite wood, and buildups of creosote may ignite, with the thermal shock shattering the masonry. This is a nice old classic "American Foursquare" house, in a kinda farmhousey style!

I wonder why there's a rather large-diameter sewage pipe running from the attic through the bathroom. Toilet in the attic? Weird. And again, where is a bathtub or shower? There's space for either in that 2nd-floor bathroom, but no sign of plumbing, neither water supply nor drain. And really? Six bedrooms and only one bathroom? Maybe I missed something. Anyway, really great house.

Didn’t realize you lived in Minnesota til just now but if you’re looking for somebody to explore these places with you I’d love to accompany you when or if I have the time. I live in Watertown and know of at least one place I think you’d enjoy!

Reminds me of the basement in Silence of the Lambs!

Awesome video! I wish I knew why people just up and leave their homes to rot and decay? It will remain a mystery!

Give a man a beer, and he will forget whatever he was workin' on........

Farm Hunter... If I had the $$$ I'd buy and completely restore this house to it's full original splendor!...

The trim in the basement is very interesting. It's a big house with some nice stuff going on outside (the builders look like they had money) and definitely looks 19th century - is it possible the original owners might have had servants that lived downstairs? I know attic servant quarters have always been typical but the higher level of finish seems potentially suggestive.

I rly enjoy guy videos brother! You do HQ stuff. Your # 1! Does anyone agree w me?

Those freezers probably work but most likely need a new wire harness.

Nice video!

Loved the house

That house was HUGE. May have been "standard" trim but even that says upper middle class. When you went upstairs, the second room you entered made the hair on the back of my neck go stiff as hell. I wonder what occurred there....

Good video!

must have been wonderful living there back in the day

This one is oddly quiet compared to your other explorations, minus little noises here & there. There’s just an odd ambience going on. Also, how the heck do you get to that corn? Lol

What a cool old house! Too bad they let it deteriorate. Wonder if it could be rebuilt? Do you know what year it was built originally?

Why would someone take the housing off the phone and leave the phone? So weird. Love the beautiful blue tile in that old bathroom.

this video was very interesting , it was sorta scary ( always thinking there was something lurking around a corner waiting to scare the pants out of you on video ( it was just one of those videos , the Basement was I feel the scariest ( thanks for sharing

ALWAYS MAKES U WONDER what the house could tell u , if it talked

Now this is the house I would definitely living I wish I knew who owns this I wonder if they would sell it if so this would be a place that I would find a way to transport to where I live because I’m assuming it’s not anywhere near where I live

That looks like an incredibly steep stair case in the kitchen.

Oh Lord, where did that syrup go to? ghost syrup is the best kind

Very cool attic! I saw the 1 bathroom but no tub?

Looks like the property is taken care of, grass is cut. And the syrup was gone

What happened this was a favorite channel to me hope all is well for yuh.god bless

You were pointing out the various stove pipe holes in the basement. I wonder if this is how the house was heated a hundred years ago. Also, I didnt notice a bathtub. I assume who ever lived there in 2003 had intentions of fixing it up thus the boxes of sheet r o ck. The house could still be saved.
