This house was built in 1964 and owned by the same couple until it was bought by a large company only a few short years ago. The house has since been fenced off and will be demolished any day.
Yes, shower 🚿 chair for the elderly who can't stand or stand long 😞 . I hope they salvage the awesome light fixtures. I like the sofa, cleaning 🧼 and restoration ❤ the crown molding is awesome 👍🏾
Italian Catholics lived there, my best guess. Wasn't bad in it's day except for those tiny tiles on the bathroom walls, those type of tiles are meant to be used on the floor. Thanks for the tour Ontario! 👍🤠 Note: 10:07 A humidifier, I know this because it's confirmed by the word "humidifier" on the front. 👍😉
It looked like there was a box of unopened wine bottles in the bedroom downstairs under the vhs tape of cartoons, lol. Great walk through! It was sad to see what looked like a nice basement under water like that😮.
Bias relief of the Pope in the kitchen. Also, there was a picture of the Virgin Mary under the calendar and a rosary upstairs so good bet they were Catholic. The thing in the upstairs hall is a very old dehumidifier. Man, that orange carpet with pink flowered curtains...horrible. The little statue in the master bedroom depicts The Last Supper, a painting of Jesus with his disciples, probably from the painting by Leonardo da Vinci. Not a garbage can, an old school laundry hamper. It would have been interesting to see what those bottles were in the box under the cartoon video.
I was a 11years old in 1965 . In the suburb where I went to school there were many houses like this. No doubt some Baby Boomer parents built this house. These were the days before McMansions were common. Boomer parents came from an era of post war building material shortages where new housing stock was made up of smaller homes. So the Boomer parents started building bigger homes in the 1960's. Of course many of the the Boomer kids ,my generation, went for McMansions. One of those things that you were looking at was a humidifier. It's called "sculpted" carpet. Cool video. Thanks
Hi there at the top of the stairs is a portable Humidifier. This house had baseboard heating (so electric) needless to say it would have been dry. Baseboard units produce dry heat and a Humidifier is good for putting moisture back into a room. The "necklace" in bedroom # 1 is a Catholic Rosary and the picture in the kitchen (that was a bronze colour) is a Catholic Pope, his name is not visible, but he had the # 23 incorporated into his name in Roman numerals. The orange "sculpted" carpet generally throughout this location is so retro. The Mavik pills you saw in the dining room are for a person who has/had Congestive Heart Failure or has had a Heart Attack. In the main bathroom right at the doorway there is a very old clothes hamper for gathering dirty laundry prior to cleaning. Recognize the old lid cover material on it (like a "fake" pearl appearance). Thank you for a nice tour of this 1965 house near Oshawa.
Regarding that crummy plaster repair job, some Boomer parents' just let their homes go because they were afraid to spend money. They worried about having savings for food and medicine. It's clear with the assistance set up in the bathroom, etc, they had coping with disability and illness on their minds and not house repairs.The people who built this house no doubt had good jobs when they built it but retirement changes things for many. Great video. Thanks
10:11 That is a dehumidifier. It takes water out of the air, it should have a container in the back to catch the water . Not a necklace, it's a rosary. Those look like ladybugs. For a minute I thought that was a dartboard clock. 18:12 That is a hamper, you put your dirty clothes in it, the lid lifts up. Sad basement is flooded.
The scene in one of the bedrooms of the men at a long table, is Jesus and His disciples at the Last Supper. The machine in the hallway with flowers was probably a dehumidifier.
