- Historic old Victorian mansion built in 1901. Lots of incredible details and old antiques. Last owner was an elderly woman who passed on with no remaining family members so the house has sat in limbo for nearly 20 years now. Unfortunately it’s reaching a point where if it’s not saved soon the house will be gone. So glad I could document this beautiful hi so old house! Truly stunning old house! Hope you enjoy thanks for watching! One of my all time favorites ever been

This always makes me so sad to see these homes just sit and rot away and with all that beautiful furniture and everything else is just left there to rot, makes it even worse. It really does break my heart to see this.
Who else besides myself would like to start a foundation to save this incredibly beautiful home and others that Kappy shows before they are too far gone? I would live in this house in a heartbeat if I could!♥️
oh, if money were no object, we could do justice with this masterpiece!
Oh if only could afford to fix this beauty up!
If not save them at least savage what it left inside so they can be used elsewhere so many things in this home that will be lost with water damage.
I would love to help restore this home. This has to be in the top 5 Kappy has toured.
I would definitely save it if I could. I would make it a bed and breakfast
I'd have to agree with you, Kappy. Never before in these tours have I wished so badly to have unlimited funds to restore a home. It has to be the most beautiful one you've shared, hands down. Hopefully someone will snatch it up and save it. Thank you for this wonderful tour!
The former owners were together from their childhood up until their deaths. He was a pilot in the Second World War earning a Medal of Honor for his bravery. He wrote to his wife everyday whike she awaited his return from fighting overseas. He finally made it home and they purchased this beautiful home and he ended up becoming the sheriff in that town. It’s sad to think that just not that many years ago there were two happy and healthy souls living in and enjoying that old home together. Lord how proud they must’ve been to have acquired such an astounding home. This is just one story of many that end up being forgotten in time to never be of any importance ever again. Thanks kappy for showing this old home. It’s a masterpiece for sure.
Thank you! It’s so rare to find out the story behind these homes!
Did you notice the model airplane on the bed upstairs? Probably left there when trying to pack up the place.From your story it wouldn't surprise me if it was the kind of plane he flew.🙂
I can't believe the condo in of this home...outstanding...It would be a shame to have it rot...like so many before it...breath taking piece of our history!!!!
Knowing some of the history of this house makes it go from a house to a home...thanks
I grew up in and still live in Arkansas and looked up the medal of honor WW2 recipients. Who was this? I'd bet the Walton family, Rockefellars or the Hunts would be interested in this historic house.
Of all the houses you've been through, THIS ONE just HAS TO BE SAVED. This is the coolest, best laid out old house. The features are museum quality. Those spandrels were killing me. Still there after a hundred years. The doorknobs, this was a major CUSTOM house in it's day. Keep us posted on it's fate if possible.
What's a spandrel 😳?
I can see this home filled with memories, laughter, music and family. The smell of baking bread and cookies. All those treasures just waiting to be loved again!❤
They recognized the beauty of woodwork and kept it original, no gallons of paint slopped around there!
What a dream.
This is one of your best!
Thanks for the tour Kappy!
🤠👍
Can you only imagine pulling up to that house at Christmas . Shined . polished, the smells of Christmas . Everyone in period clothes . The house roaring with music.
That was once a beautiful home. Love the fireplaces, all the woodwork, the thick window sills and the antiques. It looks like the woman was a hoarder and died, then the family took a few pieces and left the rest. Get the pickers in there! They would buy a lot.
This house is probably my favorite of all time. Imagine children running in and out, fires warming the rooms. Mother making meals while the children played games or sang together in the evenings to the piano. It just gives wonderful vibes and deserves to be restored and filled with a family again. Thank you for this ❤️
In this house there should be a cook making meals while Mother plays piano in the Music Room! (and *not* the foyer!) 😊
Our Restoration Nation should check this lady out!! Arkansas is Laine and Kevin’s stomping ground. I hope someone is able to save this beauty!! 😍
I had a large family once myself. Now I am alone except for my pets. Never thought it would be this way. I feel for the woman that lived here. Maybe we would have become friends. I hold onto to my faith in the Lord that sustains me.
This life is but a vapor, continue to be faithful. Glorious day are still before you in the place HE has prepared for you!!
Me, too, Jerry.
Once had family,
now, everyone is gone.🍃
Just me, and my furry beloveds.🐾
I, also, never thought it would be this way.
As a stage-4 cancer survivor, I most definitely thought I'd pass before my healthy 59-yr.-old mate.
May, 2021, I went into remission.
Nov., 2021, Covid took him.
I love what the reply was to your comment ~ that we're vapor.🌌
Yes.🌠
Bless you both❣️
Incredibly beautiful. Makes you wonder what happened to the family. Prayers this house is saved.
WOW! This one is in remarkably good condition. It really wouldn't take much to fix it up to be livable once again.
It would take ton of work
An OLD Victorian home was always my dream home since I was a little girl
Holy cow! Have to agree with you. One of the all time best old house finds. Those window casings, door knobs, the woodwork, just amazing. All that wine/burgundy decor so 1990s. Something about this is super special. I’m pretty realistic about the difficulty fixing up these places. If I had it, I’d gladly throw a million or two into this one. Thanks so much for sharing. Stay safe. ❤
Couldn’t agree more with everything you said! Would be a dream to fix it up! Beautiful place for sure! One of my favorites as well! Thank you very much for watching! :)
The woodwork is absolutely jaw dropping! 😮 Such a beautifully designed house.
This house is in Arkansas. $100,000 @ sweat equity will save it.
I so agree, however the amount of money needed to fix it up would exceed the value of the property. It would take someone with deep pockets and a love of historic homes. Lets hope that happens!
Absolutely. Kabby should make a salvaging company and make deals with contractors about properties the are about to demolish. They don't care, everything is waste for them. Just those fire place mantels and their cast iron covers can easily fetch few thousands of $ .
Absolutely gorgeous! The antiques and the attention to details! Great job Kappy!
Thank you very much! Was such a stunning place wanted to do it justice! Thanks for watching! :)
What is left behind is definitely a reflection of that last living soul. She was a warm personality, creative, artistic, elegant, admired Nature and so kept those things near to her in daily life. She may have been reaching out to accompany you on part of your tour. At 16:45, 1 single, very bright orb came towards you, then heading off towards the space above you as it passed. What a glorious, refined and comfortable floorplan, created back in the day when your abode was built to be your castle; back when being 'at home' was a revered part of living, meant to be gracious and comforting, such that visitors could be welcome to call but knew to be delicate and not to be a burden. Today, people clamour to 'get away,' to be let out of their caskets and the shackles they call 'home' to exercise and compare their materialistic accomplishments. It was such a different vibe back in the day, and familiarity with that sort of comportment shall die off with those who recall those most gracious times. TY for sharing, Kappy. My heart is sad at what Human society has become but the memories of those times are heartwarming. God Bless and "Thanks for the memories..."
I appreciate your sentiments ❤️ I would like to say though, because it surprised me to learn since we have such a romantic view of the victorians. They were incredibly materialistic and built these houses to show off much the same as we do now. Consumerism was rampant. Hence how you ended up with poison wallpaper. Lots of people referred to these big houses much the same way we think of McMansions now. It's really interesting to see how much things look so different but still behaved the same.
@@MekareP No doubt, those who built this structure originally were not without means or consequence. And I understand your perceptions of the Victorian era. You recite the classic textbook description of that age. I was raised by my Victorian Grandmother. During most of her years of employment, she worked as housecleaner for Royalty when they were in their London residence. GrandPa was a London Cabbie. Though her Aunts were seamstresses for the Court, my grandparents were of meager means. When she came to America, she brought with her a single, silver tea strainer. That, aside from her wedding ring, prayer book and dictionary, was the extent of her 'materials' other than what she wore and her housecoat. Even though, it was extremely important to her that proper rituals were followed: teapot from Goodwill had to be warmed before pouring freshly boiling water over loose tea leaves, and I remember particularly, as a child, being cleaned and prettied up, then taken to visit her neighbor in the rented flat below, for a sit down spot of tea, and Mr. Mariola entertained us with his talking parakeet. Always the utmost decorum and proper manners was required, regardless of income. Now, that's not to say there weren't materialistic individuals in the Victorian era. But that IS to point out that sensibilities were different in those times and having meager means wasn't an excuse for boorish or braggartly behaviour. Apparently, you learned your history from books which tend to broadly sweep the masses into particular classes, paying particular attention to those of means (more interesting to be sure). I learned it from a British Victorian. The behaviours of the past is nothing like the social behaviour we are forced to suffer today.
At 5.55 when it swings to the fireplace another white orb
@@emeliabest6923 a very still shiny orb... at 6:58, you see a light fixture suspended from the ceiling. Either that was an orb or ornamentation at the end of a lamp pull chain. Good Eye!
@@rockybernard2997 yup i saw it ,it was very bright ,definitely someone in there still watching over there home 👌👍
A fireplace as you walk in the front door! How welcoming! You would need a full time staff to keep all those fireplaces burning. That house is just full of treasures! Magnifique.
I think this house had the most Kappy "Holy cows" of any house he has featured, and I totally agree. This house was beautiful and it was nice to see a house that had not been vandalized with graffiti like so many of the other ones. And those doorknobs were almost like little works of art. If someone could fix the leaky roof and repair the water damage in that one upstairs bedroom, the rest of the house would be relatively easy to bring back to its original glory. Kappy, you should start a Go Fund Me to help you fix up this beautiful mansion for you and Ruby to live in.
She LOVED angels, they are everywhere! This place makes my heart sing!
This house, so grand but still holding its simplistic elegance; the ceilings, the door jambs, the kitchen. And so many beautiful old pieces inside! It would make a great museum or B&B. I hope that it will be saved.
I can’t believe no one has stolen the fireplace mantles, staircases, columns & Queen Anne trim. They beautiful & priceless. That wooden model plane in that one bedroom is likely worth a lot of money too.
This home makes your heart skip a beat.. This house it just draws you in and I'm waiting to see around each corner.
The woodwork, staircase, fireplaces, pocket doors, decorative door knobs and pieces of old wooden furniture still there, gave this house so much character.
It must have been magnificent to live in during its prime.
Oh what a shame that such a beautiful, elegant home is discarded and forgotten. Amazing workmanship and pride went into building this wonderful home. And how odd that the lawn is kept up!
Loving that 30's vibe I get from this place, my favorite era. And that is the best vintage kitchen I've ever seen in a house. I could move right in.
It’s interesting, how the fire places are all different and unique. The fireplace at the top of the first set of steps is made out of a different word than the steps, stair rail, and floor. The Frigidaire icebox was a cool find! I loved the door handles, pocket doors, and I found the windows, very unique how they had ledges that came out into the room and they all had shutters at one point. A master craftsman did the woodwork on this house. What wonderful detail in each room! Such a shame it is rotting away.
Man, if I had the dough I’d drop it into that house in a heartbeat. Everything is from around 1890 construction to 1920 designs and contents up to the 1980s. To have the $ to grab it up and bring it to date without altering its originality would be a blast and a half. It’s a heartbreaker for sure. Thanks for sharing, Kappy.
Remnants of whole lives lived and gone. So sad and beautiful.
Stunning. Wish I could have lived there raising my 5 children! It’s so sad to let it go down! ! It is just amazing! Close my eyes and see it in it’s glory! Thank you! I love old big houses! When I watch these videos it’s like I am there!!
I'm so glad no one painted that beautiful wood. Also, the ceilings are just amazing. Love this house.
Kap I keep waiting for the day when you find the historic home that calls to you so deeply that you can't resist and we all get to come along on your adventures in restoring it!
WOW! That house is so cool, looking at the outside you would never think that the inside would still look so nice, beautiful home - 😯❤
Thank you for watching!! :)
What a beautiful place! I love Victorian homes they are my favorite. So sad nobody kept this beautiful home up. Thank you Kappy!!
This house once was loved.
Wow. The craftsmanship is unreal!!! What a CRYING SHAME that this wasn’t preserved ; gosh I wish the Habitat for Humanity could salvage!!! Wow is right!!
All that natural woodwork is beautiful and those natural bead board ceilings are outstanding . I guess I will never understand why people paint over woodwork . I can only imagine what that house looked like in its prime . The original owners I'm sure were quite proud when they moved in. It looks like someone was starting to strip the paint off the one fireplace mantel upstairs. Hope this house can be saved. This is by far and away imo one of the best homes you've explored.
The little known 8th deadly sin. Painting wood, lol.
The house of the heavenly doorknobs! The entire house is heavenly. I wish she would have left it to someone. Definitely worth fixing up. Thanks Kappy!♥
I kept thinking how very useful to the grip that would be with all the doorknob's textured surface like that: not just artistic but utilitarian, too.
It's a beautiful place and I bet in its day it was magnificent! God blessed the elderly woman that I'm sure treasured her home. The fact she was the last one of her family and all of her little treasures are left to the rubble is just sad upon sad. I wish I knew more about her...
I thought the same thing whatever happened to her she made her beds that morning before she went downstairs. Anna In Ohio

That is a stunning house. It’s amazing how much damage water can do to a place if you don’t keep a good roof on a house.
Houses were built to accommodate the way we lived back then… we were forced to change by government regulations to change . Couldn’t sell like we had ect . It’s an era gone by. We’ve went through changes it is a feeling of nostalgia watching these. It’s nice thank you
You have a wonderful narrative voice btw many don’t . Pleasant to listen to. Just calming showing us houses as video ends without obnoxious music . Calming interesting
I'll take the beautiful floor lamp on the first floor living room. That place is incredible. So hope it can be saved. Remind me of our first home in Syracuse, N.Y. back in 1958. We so did not appreciate it at the time.
I have watched this video twice.That is a beauty Love those pocket doors ,fireplaces,the staircase is awesome.The windows and architect u're.Even where it sits so beautiful I'd love to own this and fix it back like it was.Thank you.Surely the owners wouldn't let this Gem go to waste.😍❤️❤️👍🇺🇸
Thank you Kappy for another beautiful house frozen in time.
Do you see the orbs flying in front of you? What a beautiful home. I live in a multi family the same age. There’s truly nothing like old houses.
Ceilings, fireplace mantles & tiles and pocket doors are stunning.
Wow! Such beauty!! Can't someone save that beautiful woodwork?? The fireplaces!! The ceilings!! All the old stuff!! What a cool house!!!
Oh wow, this beautiful and elegant old gal could and should be saved! Every detail in this house is stunning from the woodwork to the doorknobs. Just selling part of the contents (the old glassware, home decor, and vintage clothing scattered everywhere are worth more than you would think) would raise enough to get started. I would guess the state owns it at this point if she left no heirs? I'm sure the local community would benefit from the sale of this property. Maybe one of the historic renovation channels will see it and give it a shot, restoring it wouldn't be that hard and would make great content.
I'll watch this episode again and again, it's now my favorite house you've shown. You set a lovely tone for my Saturday, thank you so much Kappy!
Thanks Kappy, this house is fantastic! The roof doesn't look too bad, loved the layout and the details on this house. What I find interesting is there looks like a lot of people have explored, judging by the dust on the stairs, but it is relatively untouched, I hope it stays that way and I really hope it gets saved by someone as it's a really special house.
This makes me incredibly sad and a smidge angry, this amazing home is in a death spiral, (rotted original wood floors, rotting ceilings, water damage) I've seen A LOT of old houses and this one is beautifully unique with the deep window frames, original posh hardware, original pocket doors and those amazing tall windows and unpainted woodwork, this beauty would easily find a new owner to save it before it's too far gone.
Wow, a house full of treasure. How is it possible that this amazing, unique house is abandoned, it's just gorgious, I hope someone comes and saves it.
Such beautiful wood work furniture included is just amazing. Would take a good month of elbow grease to get it all back to shining again but would be worth it just to see it's glory. Such detail with the fireplace mantles, doors, knobs and stair case, even the window casings are just phenomenal. The WOW factor is here, there, and everywhere in this house. Thank you for sharing and have a great day
That place is massive, take a fortune to repair, restore, and update. What a waste of resources, though.
Getting rid of the 'junk'...would be the worse part. Why gives humans the right to be such pigs ? 🐷
There are SO many beautiful details in this house. It’s gorgeous.
hi,,is anyone else seeing orbs and small white flashes around the house..during Kappy's tour?
We love you Kappy & Ruby...
thankyou for ur great videos 👏😊
Absolutely love this house! The woodwork is amazing! 😍 But what really caught my attention was all of the antique furniture and so many vintage clothes and hats and other pretty pretties!!! 😍🤩😍 I swear I'm in sensory overload! Lol
The Dearborn heaters brought back memories.
Stunning....how sad to see such beauty rotting away.
Agreed! Much appreciated for watching! :)
By god i agree kappy what a beautiful house. If anyone is watching this video and can afford to buy and fix this house up please do it. Its one of the most nicest and Incredible houses ive seen. It Probably wouldnt take that much to fix it up new roof to get it water tight, i really hope someone buys this and gives it the loving care and attention it deserves ❤
I love this home, I would buy it in a second.
This house needs to be restored. It is beautiful!
This one was the best !! Wish I was rich. I would love to buy this one and restore it. Thanks for videoing this one. It’s great!
Such a beautiful house
This one was spectacular and it’s owner’s history as a WWII veteran, then sheriff amazing! I want to restore it so bad, to return it to its previous beauty.
What a totally gorgeous home! Most every room you entered had me gasping. I truly hope this house can be saved, such beauty!
Beautiful. House. Needs. To. Be. Saved. Great. Video. I. Couldn't. Believe. The. Fireplaces
Oh my gosh Kappy, what an amazing beautiful stunning home! It was just so sad to see all of her stuff there getting ruined. This is a crime. I hope someone can save it before it’s too late. Those ceilings, the staircases, windows. Endless beauty. I not only would have loved to sit on that porch back in the day, but today too. I definitely have to rewatch. What a find. Just incredible. Thanks Kappy
Love the wall paper in this old house it is still a beautiful house Arkansas has a lot of abandoned houses I hope you can do more videos here this is a great explore thanks for letting me tag along with you.
What a beautiful house. A lot of money went into that house back in it's day. So sad to see it falling apart. 😢
I'm so drawn to this place
Absolutely it's been my pleasure to watch your video
🌹💛🌹💛🌹💛🌹💛🌹💛🌹💛🌹
Love these old bed rooms and the beds.
This home is just stunning! Beautiful craftsmanship. It's unbelievable that someone just went off and left this
Wow! I hope it's saved too! What a gem! It looks so rough on the outside, and I was expecting a disaster on the inside, but it was miraculously preserved. So, so beautiful. ❤
It’s gives off a western saloon vibe. Just beautiful.
This house is very salvageable. There is so much valuable furniture and knickknacks.
Geez Kappy I said once before one house you showed was my favorite until I saw this one. It really hurts my heart to think it's rotting away. This is prolly one of the most beautiful houses you've done.
Oh I would love to restore this home!! It’s unfortunate that so many of these homes are not located within a range of employment or have become so far gone! This looks to be salvageable if the leaky roof is taken care of asap. 😓 I wish I was closer and could get the roof covered at least to get the house a fair chance! Thanks for showing us this gorgeous home!!
Stunning, magnificent house! Largely intact, and with so much beautiful old furniture- the kind of place I've always dreamed of living in... if only... Somebody, PLEASE save this fabulous house! Kappy, you find the best places- thanks for sharing them with us!
Beautiful home chock-a-block with unique features (love the windows!) and meticulous attention to detail. So much to love about the house, like the master bedroom that still retains bits of its beauty despite water damage. Loved the porch that went on and on...! The best bit for me was the open communal sitting room upstairs, complete with its own fireplace! Wow. What a cosy place for a read before bed or a late night chat to house guests and family. Tfs this amazing home, Kappy! ❤
When I win the lottery I'm going to refurbish old homestead like this 😮❤
The interior looks to be in good condition. Not violated with graffiti either. A wonderful home. 👍
What an absolutely beautiful old house 🏚. I love old houses the most. They don't make houses like this anymore. These houses were built to last forever it seems. Thanks for showing us this old house. Someone needs to restore this beauty 😍 😤.
Beautiful. You do a fabulous job sir. ❤
This house gives off such a cozy vibe! Makes me sad to see it like this. I LOVE that porch on second floor!
Very nice sleeping porch indeed!
Those doorknobs were proudly made here in the USA. The quality of everything in this mansion was american made. Today we don't see things like this anymore because everything is made in china. The craftsmanship is beyond compare, American made was and still is, always the finest.
This house is worth saving...so simple yet beautiful..love it!!!
This house is absolutely stunning! Fascinating find Kappy.
Let's hope and pray that someone saves this beauty before anymore damage is done.💞
My God! There's a fortune in collectables and antiques in that house!
Have evenings out there when it is nice and have dinner or drinks or just enjoy the peace,quiet and the view .😊👍
That is such a beautiful house. It is so sad to see it rotting away. All those gorgeous doorknobs, woodwork, and fireplaces; what a shame.
The woodwork in that home is absolutely beautiful ❤️
This is easily the most beautiful house I have ever seen. Hopefully it will be saved. Thank you Kappy!
Have to agree! Definitely one of my favorites! Thank you very much for watching! :)
What a gorgeous mansion, and a crying shame it was not preserved. Breathtakingly beautiful.
I am BEGGING someone to please save this house!!!!
Another great house I know you show the doorknobs but I wish you'd sometimes showed the beautiful hinges they're just as lovely and they're usually strong and decorative to hold up a heavy door😊
My favorite part of this house is the ceilings and the fireplaces!
By far in your top 10! I would gladly live there 😊 What a beauty! So many amazing features! All of those antiques left behind 😢. Silly question but..Barnum mansion…PT Barnum?
Such loving detail in the furnishings and decor ! I love this home and would have loved to have met the woman who lived there!
Oh and loved the extra fire place in foyer and upstairs sitting area
Hi 👋 Kappy. Wow, such beautiful woodwork & antiques. I pray a good person buts this house and restores it. I love 💕 this place
