  • 50 years after the last residents left, we venture inside and walk back in time to see what life was like in rural America circa 1974. We will be looking around the house for clues of why it was abandoned, but come up short. Our theory involves the last residents passing away and no one caring for the decaying home.

      So true. When I moved into my new house they told me that I could keep or throw out the former owners old stuff (passed away). And as I was going through boxes of family photos and all the things they acquired over the course of their life I felt so sad knowing that one day someone might be going through MY things and looking at them like worthless junk. Very strange feeling. We live our whole lives just for some stranger to end up going through our stuff and throwing it away.

    I think people living were from the early 1900s and passed away somewhere around 1974 . Most of the valued items are from either 1920s or 40s . Thise paintings in the room , that art style and those frames were VERY popular in the 60s - 80s , my grandmother's house has those. I dunno if their children left them and moved away or something . But that's what probably happened , children moved away , parents got old . One passed away following the other . The children obviously didn't want anything to happen to their family home and were living somewhere else so they locked it up and over the decades it got forgotten ( grandchildren and etc ) . The people who lived there are probably being survived by their great grandchildren now.

      I had many aunts and uncles in Wisconsin, most of whom, for reasons unknown, never had kids. So when they died, who knows what became of their homes, their bank accounts, their belongings. There could well be a home somewhere near Milwaukee, Brookfield, Elm Grove, or West Allis sitting vacant since the late 70s. They all died between 1975 and 85.

    I think the room of the person who was sick appears around 8:43. Generic, institutional-looking bed (Possibly adjustable?) that has shelves within reach, medical office style scale, both items with work lamps trained on them. The blue stand by the window is for a water basin, so you can wash yourself (or somebody else) without having to walk far.
    You're not wrong about the appearance of the green bedroom with the wooden bed, though. I wonder whether this was originally a family home that was later opened (and eventually closed) as a private hospice/rest home.
    Ample storage, an empty music/rec room, board games laid out, sound machine, multiple office-type spaces. The accumulation of items is SUPER eclectic, but all of the daily-use products/spaces are pretty organized.
    It wasn't uncommon for single mothers to rent out rooms as a source of income up until the 80's or so. Catering to the sick is likely safer than just taking in drifters, and offering services in addition to room & board would justify charging higher rates.
    (The decor in the "Master Bedroom" seems a little more modern and youthful than the others, and definitely set up for one person.)
    The 70's and 80's are also when licensing requirements for medical facilities/providers started to become more tightly regulated (Social Work wasn't a licensed profession until the late 60's, for example.) and larger nursing homes were being built everywhere at warp speed, which could have put a self-trained caregiver out of business.

      My home was built in the 40’s. The bedrooms are 16 x 14 & 16 x 17. No houses built today have bedrooms this size. When I look at them with a realtor I have to ask, if the bedrooms are just closets. Also the Windows are very large also.

    Absolutely favorite explore so far. I love the layout of the rooms: especially the spacious kitchen with ample room for a kitchen table. I got the feeling an older couple had lived here many years and had their life history enclosed in this home. The photos were just wonderful. So sad that there were no family members to preserve their mementos. It is hard to understand the mentality of the those who enter and ransack these homes. Anyway it is great that you guys go in and preserve as much as you can with photos. The books with instructions on home care were very touching. So much nicer and more humane than a nursing home. I believe these may have been very lovely people and you have paid homage to their simple and decent life.

    Nice find, truly like a museum frozen in time. If this place was completely abandoned in 1974 (and judging by the contents there is no reason to believe it wasn't), it's remarkable that it is in such good condition after 46 years. Seeing the big timbers in the attic show what a well-built structure it is. It would be nice if someone would reclaim the property and restore it.

    Brought back good memories. The TV is from the 1960s. The 70s living room TV's sat on the floor, heavy, a lot of wood around it, no legs. I loved it when you found the Rotary Color Projector up in the attic. In the 70s a lot of people bought silver aluminum Christmas trees, instead of real trees. The real tree's always made a mess, so someone came up with fake trees. Plugged in, the Projector spun slowly, so the colors reflected onto the shiny silver tree. We didn't put lights on the tree because of what the tree was made of. A string of lights back then wasn't the same, safe miniature ones, we have today. The bulbs got hot. The bedroom with a little guest bed, you said, was probably the ailing person's bed. It appeared to me, to look like a hospital bed. The first two bedrooms looked like women's bedrooms, by looking at the small items. The bedroom you said could possibly be a kid's room, and that baby clothes were hanging...didn't see no baby clothes. I saw what looked like a man's shirt, could be a women's, though, and some pants that were either for a male or female. I'm thinking that it was a man's room, especially since a man's hat was there. Possibly, it was the man who got sick and they put him in the sick room with the hospital bed.

    Love the videos. The logo on the Excedrin bottle didn't hit the shelves until 1983, the mccormick thyme logo also dates back to the 80's. The room shown around the 8.35 minute mark, the bed in it was an old hospital bed. The Amgard 2, which is an old home security system controller, shown at 11:37 wasn't produced until 1985. So the place was probably abandon after that.

Would explain why a lot does not appear contemporary, even for 1974. Reminds me of my grandparents house as a kid in the 80s..if not for a wall calendar, a more modern TV my grandpa bought, and new food/consumer products laying around it easy could have looked like the 40s-60s rather than mid 1980s at the time.

    Backgammon is the game.
    As for the TV, it's definitely Black and White, but I don't recognize the make and the curve of the sides definitely date it to the very early days of TV. It looks like it doesn't have a UHF tuner on it which is another indicator of it's age. Just a VHF channel selector and a power/volume below that. You'd have to look at the back of it to find a make and model. I've never seen the phosphor peel off the screen like that, so the tube probably has lost the vacuum.
