You won't Believe WHAT I found inside this Abandoned Fantasyland Mansion 

I was in this house years ago when I worked for the lady who owned it at that time. It was such a beautiful place. I still try to get a look at it when I drive past. My favorite room was the circular one with the painted ceiling. I and the handful of other visitors were given a tour and served dinner. If I remember correctly, I think that our table for dinner was set up in the little yellow room with green trim. I remember it as an enchanted place.

Lovely Spanish revival gem. It deserves a qualified restoration architect. Whomever takes this project must be prepared to write a check north of several million to do right. Thanks for the tour, Rick.

I really hope that someone gets that place and gets it back to how it was it would be awful to think that it's just going to decay and fall down

Wish you had the history of the house/ family before you filmed. I heard you say it was coming, but it's easier to relate when you have the story behind it - you do a part 2, I will definitely tune in!

That was a beautiful place and could be again with the proper planning and finances! The artwork was beyond splendid and madness at the same time! For the most part it still looks restorable. Not much vandalism more just natural decay.

What a fantastic place! I pray that someone will care enough to preserve this house. Historic homes, especially in the US, are very few and far between. You kept asking why would they do that and I kept echoing...because he could! Thanks for the wonderful explore.

Hi Rick, heads up on your findings of old places like this with such detailing and beautiful architecture and high ceilings said to be built in the 1800’s. I think this place was Founded, like so many others around the world. These belong to a Civilization before ours. They were very intelligent and used sacred geometry in many of the buildings that are still standing today. Our History is His Story, not ours. It’s an amazing trip finding our truth.

The driveway to the house, I could see a horse and buggy traveling down this road going to the house, back in the day! They probably didn't think anything of it, just the route you had to follow --but so pretty!

It would be so nice to have a house like this

Just Beautiful! Such detail, the Tiles - Italian maybe? And, the antique, hand painted windows are exquisite! BTW, the round Coke bottle glass, are called Roundels & are hand blown! In today's market rare originals such as those would be very costly! You just can't say enough about this house! Thanks so much for sharing - Think I'm in Love!! 😂😍

I’m pretty sure the room you love is the family chapel and those two large boxes in the back are confessionals.

AMAZING place, so sad it isn’t being saved. What a loss of art, history, never to be seen, loved, again😢 Thank you for documenting this one of kind home.

It would be so cool to be able to see pictures of the original furniture and owners in the house, just have to try to imagine. So cool, love the historic structures!

You should have looked a little longer. Houses like that one tend to have hidden doors to secret rooms. That looks like the kind of house that would have hidden treasure behind the wall. I would love doing stuff like this, but I would want to take the treasures that I find😁. Don't you ever get in trouble with the police for going into these homes, or do you get permission beforehand?

Beautiful, unique place, too bad somebody didn’t save it.

What a great production piece! Well done!!

Several years ago I crocheted a bed afgan: white squares with medium brown strip criss-crossing between each square, and cro heyed a cluster of grapes with leaves and stitched those into each square, so it looks like a Grape vine that grew on a trellis. It's my masterpiece masterpiece. I like purple Grape themes in various kinds of art.

that upstairs solid bolted shut door is the elevater

WOW how freaking amazing this place is. Thanks for sharing and you have a great day

wow !!!

This place is stunning I hope someone gets it and restores it to it glory

Love your voice. The bath rooms were too dark for me. I loved the peacock. I also loved the large wood archway ❤ (McDonalds). I was very surprised that tha kitchen was simple. I've seen homes that had trees linning both sides of a drive. Love❤,Love❤,Love❤. Thanks for the tour. Stay safe,God Bless, Happy New Year.

You're brave! It would be all fun, games and exploration until I heard a creak, LOL. Such a shame it is left to ruin. I am so glad it has not been ransacked or graffitied. What is the story as to why it has not been restored? What state is this in?

at the time 14:52 you say "thats a cool looking clock thats for sure" then theres a voice that said "yes" in agreement to the compliment you gave about the clock. whos voice was that? That home is absolutely fascinating, I love all the colorful artistries, the tile work in the bathrooms, the tiles with printing on them are all imported custom hand painted, individually fired and glazed porcelain tiles.. That last room that is missing the roof I believe it to be a dining banquet room/ballroom and those side cabinets would have been table and chair storage to open the floor for guests to dance and mingle.

I like the way you narrated 😍🙏

The 20s painted tiles, the stained glass windows beautiful.

This reminds me of my house the upstairs had literally no electric outlets years ago they didn't have televisions or electric alarm clocks so they didn't need anything other than an overhead light .😊

Thank you for doing this! I was outside exploring at the end of November and wanted to go in so much!!! I adore this home!

It was magical. Wish i could save it.

This place was awesome i want it love the artwork

I like the bathrooms and the outside of the mansion. also, that pathway is really kool.

I love this Manson

Tiles on the ceiling in the upstairs bathroom? WOW! Never seen that before! Opulence seems to be the name of the game!

Great video, love the details, Curious, no entry to the garage?

Loving this manison wonderful how long it been abandoned for happy Thanksgiving.

This was the first video of yours for me. This place is, by far, the most beautiful abandoned property I’ve seen to date. Rick, I really enjoyed your tour style and your voice. Subbed. Thanks!

So beautiful 🇬🇧

She was for sale in 2016. March if my memory serves. I drove over 6 hours for the open house. The mysterious locked room was locked then & the realtors "had no info" on it & no key. In the side entrance off the kitchen there is a hidden "door" that houses most of the wiring for the house. The dining room had beautiful hardwood floors. There was a plate glass window behind the elevator on the 2nd floor that someone broke out that day. The back portion of the house used to be a 2 story veranda decades ago. Hence the medieval looking castle door, as well as the arched "windows", pillars, & brick floor. The roof is completely missing from the veranda that connects the porto cochere & the Chapel. Yes, it's a chapel. It was intact in 2016, roof & all. To the right of the fireplace was a coat closet, to the left a small restroom. On the outside of the entrance to the Chapel was a beautiful depiction of the Last Supper. Under the still beautiful Mary was the the stoup for Holy Water. There is an apartment above the garage, 2 bed as I recall. In the house, every radiator was covered with a radiator screen & each screen had a scene or item on its face that was indicative to each room & its function (I.E. the dining room radiator covers had a basket of fruit on one side & a basket of bread on the other). As you said, every detail from the luxurious bathroom fixtures to hand painted doors & ceilings, from the iron work to stained glass & beautifully carved beams, from the fireplace to the gardens, & on & on was thought of. The house sold that weekend, so I'm very disheartened that she has been left to nature.

I did some work for the listing agent back in 2016. That outside room in the back with the collapsed roof was a chapel. Those things you thought were for storage were for confession if I'm not mistaken. Beautiful home. Sad that no one has revived it. Would be a beautiful venue even if someone didn't want to make a home out of it.

Beautiful home

The courtyard was a carriage house… doors and walkway were built wide enough to drive carriages right up to the door for guests to enter the home easily. I looked up this piece of information through the Richard Cawood home website. It must have been a tourist museum for a little while.

Stunning!!

What a fantastic house; it must have looked very impressive when it was first built. That last building you were in was a Chapel and those two rooms on either side of the fireplace were confessionals. I really loved seeing this house; I do have to say though I was not impressed with your skills at filming. You jump around making it hard to get the layout of the house and you sweep too fast; slow down.

I came across your channel recently. And immediately subscribe. ❤❤

Wow, what a unique and beautiful space! This house truly reflects the architectual detail and artisanship of a by gone era. Unique and inspiring and I truly enjoyed your video. PS: What state is this property located?

Hey Rick that fish faucet was cool.

0:43 min. a beautiful property!

First time watcher. Great editing, just the right amount of history intwined. Enjoyed. 👍🏼

Places like this can be renovated and turned in to B&B's as well as event venues. This sort of architecture simply is not created today. It should be preserved.

Nice 😊

Could that outdoor room have been a chapel & perhaps the small wooden rooms, confessionals? Many old estates had them just for family - Just a thought... 7:37 pm

Beautiful mansion and so sad to see that it's going to waste. Wish you would adjust your lighting, hard to see with the low lights.

Black n white tile in the entry way……..

Vines on a house can cause bugs and mildew in the house .

Nice

They still create 3 tears chandeliers bigger than that. lighting stores. Here in Connecticut there's a special store for custom made she and a layer single in the walls ceilings. I bought a pair on Amazon and had plugs putting them so I can plug them anywhere's in the house I want.You'd be surprised all the designs they make chandeliers from victorian days to modern times. They can even add plugs so you can take them when you leave. Again I learned all this stuff from flipping houses. Restoration. I bought a couple of shoes in a Tag sale And had plugs put on so I could put it anywhere in the house I want.

I wonder if some of those doors, door frames, bookcases and mantles could be salvaged and purchased, if the house doesnt get a reno.

From the looks of it that may have been a chapel where the roof caved in. It feels like a place of worship and you said the owner’s funeral was in that house maybe it was in the chapel.

Man, you could use a class in architecture history. There are so many things that you either improperly name and so many things about houses were constructed then. I love seeing the houses and appreciate your work very much though!

I gave u a thumbs up for ur video. Dont care for the house. Like the windows

E Liverpool was known for their pottery. I wonder if the tile was made locally

BTW Rick the rats love to hide in vines. Thanks for this spectacular exploration of a stunning mansion. I want to know what is in the locked door room. The grapevines...maybe they wanted an Italian vibe. Italian villa

Marble tile entry

It’s a shame that the treasures here couldn’t be auctioned or repurposed so the beauty could be enjoyed by several people.

The vines may look good but they totally can destroy a building if not kept

The last house in the courtyard with the Stained glass , Jesus carving above the door and the Mary statue has all the hallmarks of a Chapel.

DUDE! anyone hear the EVP right when he’s leaving the basement it happens at 17:58 . It’s a brief exhale or it says a word. Maybe GO! but it’s independent of him bc he’s talking. Someone CHECK IT OUT AND LET ME KNOW IF IM CRAZY! Start playing at 17:55 and listen close at 17:58.

Yes

That door had heavy lock on it, probably the elevator entrance

Those are window weights, to open and close

10 min mark the darn battfield 1 song haha

what a creepy looking house

Hey, Rick, were you by yourself here? I only ask because there are a few times in the video when I can hear a distinctly different voice say something. It's never more than a word or two, but it is very clear when it happens.

Vines growing on walls are not an asset. They take over and rot the wood underneath

I was watching a programme about celebrities who can't sell their mansions in America

Unless that creeper is taken off the walls, that house will decay very quickly, give it year at most.

❤❤❤❤❤

The bolted door could be the elevator

Dont do it, the vines find their way into cracks and crevices and will ruin the structure, not always but mostly. Thats why my house doesnt have them. I was talked out of it bectof that

Rick, after you made a comment about the clock in the kitchen at the end I think I heard “yes”

That chandelier in the entry is not original to the house and isn’t even an antique fixture; however everything else is spectacular!

That bathroom os not original they added it in the seventies .

This place is really, really nice architecture,I'd just like to know why all of these beautiful houses are not lived in? Do they ever tell you??

That chandelier at the beginning has led bulbs in it. I'm just now watching but it must not have been abandoned for that long?

💞

No reason for any of this? ??? The reason was because he wanted it and could afford it! 🙄. Errrggg! That locked, bolted door up stairs is the elevator MEDITERRANEAN STYLE HOUSE DUDE! ❤

It was the slave qw

I'm so disappointed. That kitchen does not reflect the rest of the mansion.

That Spanish style roof is definitely a one off style of roof that is expensive 💸 to fix or replace the whole thing

What happened to him

How did you get in?

🌸Jaecy from California here… does anyone know what The Liverpool Historical Society is doing w/ this property ? If it’s being Sold and if so… how much ? I don’t live anywhere near there, but I would Hope that the would restore it for tours like Hearst Castle 🥳🎉

10

The door beside the elevator with the picture on the door is a clown face..look at the door a few times and you will see the clown

I am not trying to be nasty but this house does not impress me. I would rather see pa farm house

After about the 75th, look at that, look at this look, look at the vines on the window, look at etc. etc. etc.....i really had to stop watching! Maybe muting and watching would have settled my nerves but i couldn 't bring myself to do so,!!! OUTTA HERE NOW,!!

Where is this located

Where is this located?

Quit calling the archway McDonalds crap. And you missed the pretty well at the end of that video

You talk too much. Hard to concentrate on the video.
