Thanks for posting this, Steve! Even a short video from you is enjoyed and appreciated. The house doesn't look all that bad but when you compared the floor to a trampoline then we know the house has become dangerous. Kudos to you for your good sense and caution. My favorite part was that tiny corner room upstairs (maybe once a larger room made smaller with the addition of the bathroom just off of it?); what a great place to have a comfortable chair and some books to read and for just looking out at the view.
+Abandoned Steve (Historical - Urbex) hey Steve i don't know if u travel but if u do, I live near this giant abandoned factory in Murray Utah, it's pretty scary but so awesome, u should explore it!
Thanks for posting it, I'm glad that you did share it. The light bulb hanging with a pull string, the amount of peeling paint chips covering the floors, walls and doors. I'm Thankful that I have a very vivid imagination to look beyond the disrepair and try to figure out what the house looked like in it's former glory. .
wow.. awesome house.. it has been a beautiful house in its glory day.. with all those big windows.. and i believe it had french doors and windoows. not sure.. any how.. so sad its gone beyond any repair. im glad to see you safe and sound not rsking your life for nothing.. great tour.. enjoyed it thank you for sharing.
This house obviously has spirits in it. Wow, enjoyed the video tremendously. Thanks for the wonderful find. This house was probably beautiful at one time
I like the windows that open like doors and there are a lot of nice ones. Also the corner cabinets, doors, and trim could still be saved. Looks like someone already got some of the trim. It just really, really bothers me that even if no one saves the house, there are people restoring houses that would love to have the parts. The peeling paint actually makes saving the parts even easier because a lot of the paint just scrapes off and you don't have to use poisonous chemicals to do it.
One thing that would be a nightmare, if this house were restorable, is imagine taking care of the peeling paint. Yow. Sad thing is this looks like a cozy and interesting place. It's a shame, I don't think it could be saved. (ANYTHING can be if someone were willing to do the work and invest the money.) These videos take me to a different world, I just love watching and seeing what kinds of places there are. "If I lost my house and were offered this one at a price I could afford... would I take it?" and in most cases... no. No I wouldn't... But still imagine them when they were new...
When I was a kid I rode my bike to an old abandoned farmhouse which was about 2.5 miles from the nearest anything. It was built in mid 1830's. I explored the house in the 1960's and the house had not been lived in since around 1922. It was amazing how little had been touched in there(that I could tell) given how long it sat empty. Nobody had damaged the place except nature. The place was so beautiful and creepy at the same time. It was a 3 story tall Victorian Mansion with three turrets coming from the 2nd story that went past the 3rd story to make three separate 4th story towers. It had a full basement with an underground stone tunnel leading to a servant house. The house was easily 6500+ square feet; maybe over 7000. There were 10 fireplaces, each room was still full of the most beautiful furniture I'd ever seen including an amazing grand piano, and there was no vandalism. The only modern stuff I saw in there was an old sleeping bag and some beer cans from a squatter; even those items were very old. Anyway, after I explored it I returned the next day with my father's camera only to find out that the house had collapsed. There were only a few chimneys standing and that was it. I then realized how lucky I was to be alive. That house had stood empty for 30 years and I chose to go inside just hours before it decided to collapse.
amazing story. First off, people seemed to have more respect in the 60s. Wish it was still like that today as all these places seem to be destroyed. Second, man glad you made it out ok.
I recently invested in an awesome flashlight---single LED, 165 lumens----incredibly bright. Home Depot----it came with a smaller pen size flashlight too. I doubt I paid even $20. They claim it will last for 3 hours before you have to change the batteries. But for what you do, it might be worth having. It takes 3 AAA batteries. I don't work for Home Depot, lol. Thank you Steve for your video.
OMG, when you say 'rough' you do not kid. Outside looks nice, but inside, like danger zone. So Thankful you were cautious.. Not sure if RU-vid or your cam, but sound was cutting off & back on.. Thank you so much..
Those leaves in the 3 floor were kind of interesting...how they managed to find their way in there, I saw the small door opened up there so it makes it interesting how they all fit in and all ended up against that wall instead of scattered everywhere. Nice quality. I respect that you didn't risk your life going in those rooms. As fun as it is exploring and posting videos it is not worth it.
That was a really cool vid . I liked seeing the aged infrastructure that was mostly original . I get those animals heading for the hills up in tha attic all the time .
I used to do a lot of URBEX in NW Georgia, it ain't easy folks! You take a spider stick, a snake stick, and I personally took a pistol. Most of the big nice houses were unfortunately in crappy, ghetto parts of town. Over time, I ran across snakes, rats, spiders, bats, birds ETC..But I also used to sell a ton of the stuff I found in abandoned places to Antique dealers. A lot of cities are destroying old buildings and this is stupid. You can improve a bad part of town by re-doing a few old buildings!! City Councils!! Use your brains!!
Appreciate what you do! You always sound very easy to hear so I wonder, do you wear any kind of protection when you explore these older places? We own an environmental services company and I can tell you, breathing in even tiny amounts of lead, asbestos and mold can do some serious damage to you. Even just a paper mask would give you some protection.
I'm afraid for you Steve going inside and see all the peeling of pain and the lead and asbestos and who knows what's inside like snakes I'm so scare for you.just cover you body.bless you Steve
A custom remote controlled car equiped with a pivoting camera would be a safe bet to take a better look with maximum security. As you monitor with your own cam view, the car would circulate across these dangerous or barely reachable areas without causing too much strain on the surroundings. If you can get in touch with someone skilled in robotics, try to make it happen =)
What's strange is the smoke detector string hanging down is moving on its own. Was there a air draft in that area that could have cause the string to move on it's own??? 4:02 could be a ghost
I've never seen paint peel to the extent as seen here, amazing. The smoke detectors going off after being abandoned for so many years may suggest some supernatural activity. It's hard to believe that batteries in those detectors would still contain energy to make them sound off after so very very long. Maybe the old doctor was saying hello? ;-)
Wow this was crazy Steve! I thank you so much for risking life and limb but OMG this is not worth breaking something or losing your life over. Your reputation precedes you as an excellent urbex explorer. This was amazing though. I did love the lay out of the place especially the little of the sun porch I saw. Thank you so much for sharing. Hey did you wear a mask? I hope so!~
When a place is open to the outside air, elements, humidity, it will start peeling the paint. Lead base paint in this era and then people would paint over it with oil base paint.
How do you find these places? Do you drive around looking for abandoned buildings or has someone told you about them. Don't be sorry about not going into all the rooms it's not worth risking injury for a video 😊
That is some serious paint flakage. A floor that gives under your weight is not a good thing, so please be safe. We want to see more of your videos, not hear about how you explored a fully operational not-abandoned hospital......
