- Thanks for watching! A few historic old farm houses, one in North Carolina and one in Virginia. Both built in the late 1800’s for a larger farm house which has since been torn down or collapsed.
You’re one of my favorite explorers. You find the best houses. You take your time and go slow and you don’t swear. Thanks for doing these videos.
When I watch these videos, I like to imagine having lived in the house during that period.
Me too 😊
Same!
@@judyblueyes1275 nice name😊
I do too

I usually watch these when I can’t sleep. Really pretty looking places . Those Southern States have some interesting looking architectural styles , especially the 1800’s houses . I love old houses. Thank you Kappy.
In my head,I'm cleaning and restoring each house!👍
Patricia Russell 100% with you on that they are far too beautiful houses to be aloud to continue to fall into disrepair restored to what they once were ( with some modcom's) would make beautiful homes once again even if they are small house's it looks like they would make beautiful homes to live in the place looks nice and peaceful very relaxing
@Jerry Andersen it would be worth it in the end though
@Jerry Andersen I hope that someone does restore them house's they are far too beautiful to be aloud to fall to ruble and piles of wood. We have some beautiful old House's in my birth country but most modify the old House's into flat etc or just overlay modify the old houses which pisses me off ( in my bloodline i only have well had one grandfather who's family oriented in my birth country hench one of the reason i always refer to my country as my birth country )
I want to make the beds, hang up the clothes, sweep the floor, pick up books.... But not clean and restore it, just put it all back into place, tidy it but use the original stuff that's in the house.
@@rosethemer7796 yes
I’m glad that you give a glimpse at the bathrooms in these old houses. Plumbing is the easiest way to give you a date on the house if it’s original, and the time it was occupied if it’s been updated. Thanks for what you do.
I think the first house is unique and could be adorable
Thanks Kappy
Just sits right along a busy road now unfortunately which might be a slight drawback but agreed loved the porch! thank you for watching!
Every time, Kappy, I create pictures in my mind of what those rooms looked like when they were lived in. The first one to me was dreamy, I like small houses. I LOVE to pretend it's restored, safe and inhabitable. That house had a really warm feeling. As always, Kappy, WONDERFUL!!!!
When you look at these old houses, you get a feeling as if you have been taken back on a time machine and landed somewhere 50/ 100 yrs ago 😀👍
Historical dating: The second house and many houses that Kappy shows have ceder lined closets. In olden days people wore natural fiber clothing such as cotton, silk, and wool. Moths loved to eat woolen materials. People had ceder lined closets, armoires, and trunks to repel insects. Nylon was invented in the 1930s and polyester in 1951. Once these synthetic materials became more in use, natural fibers were less used. Concurrent with these synthetics, pesticides were developed such as DDT. Ceder closets were no longer en vogue and not seen in newer dwellings. This is one way to date middle class dwellings. Poor folks and working class generally didn't have closets until the 1920s, they used armoires as they generally had fewer clothes over all.
I saw those old Tupperware cups from the 70s in the first house. We had those for our kids. I love those big porches from the 2nd house. And the kitchen wallpaper, Now days everyone wants sterile white and gray.
And its just hideous
I smiled when I saw how much of those porches were _screened in!_ The house where I spent my teens until late 20s had a nice big screened porch on the front and we practically _lived_ out there in summer months, even though it was on a busy street that carried a state highway into and out of town. I even slept out there, on an old-fashioned glider that folded into a double bed. It took something _really_ interesting to get us indoors to watch TV!
@@dalemulholland4469 I agree. Almost no personality in today's "style."
I still love wallpaper. It's so much prettier
Verdade!
Interesting to see how people lived. That first house was so small but probably served its life well. I really enjoyed the windows in the second house. Thank you for sharing
I feel most watching your vids fail to have this thought..... if any one of us found ourselves completely homeless, wondering about in the wilderness with absolutely no means of a roof over our heads and stumbled up on one of these old places (in their current condition) we’d be MORE than happy to set up house in anyone of them!! A dry place to sleep out of the wind and elements. I like to imaging how appreciative id be of any one of these old places in those circumstances! In this modern world we live in we tend fail to realize just what our homes truly offer us! One of our most primal needs, shelter. Great vids, I really enjoy them. Thank you
The first house I could be wrong but I think it was homeless people staying there and made it their home even putting up calendars. I read in them days putting a porch on your house was one of the most important things to do because before air conditioning the hole family would sleep on the porch in the summer. Imagine if you did that now some one would murder you in your sleep. The craziest thing I seen on CZcams was a closed in play pin for your baby that hangs out your window that you put your baby in on a hot day and it showed it hanging out a three story apartment building. It was a 1930s advertisement. Thank you Kappy for the video and stay safe from the virus.
I love these houses.Seeing the tupperware cups gave me many happy memories, as my late mother used to sell tupperware when I was little. 🙂❤
Thanks Kappy, need these more than ever right now , a nice mental escape !!
Hey, love your channel. I think that the second house was the most interesting, even though it seemed to be the more run down. I loved the shower head on the bathroom. And I think that the stairs was blocked off to maybe shut it off in the winter time. A lot of times my cousins would sleep down stairs in the winter because it was warmer downstairs. Close to the wood stove.
These houses take me back to my god-mothers house. I loved that house and wanted to grow up and live there. It was sadly torn down when I was a teenager.
Totally love these places.. In the first house the leaves in the bathroom were super awesome..
Unique (the first one). Second one, love the corner fireplace
I Love this I’d love to redo this place inside and out old style way let the brick show love the trim and old doors it would be a home again I would live there.
Like seeing both houses. Just think some people today are looking to downsize and these houses although almost a goner would be great. Thanks for sharing.
Well yikes. They aren’t like a old stone castle or even house. They are all wood and built with little skills in many cases. There’s no real way to get all the mold out of the timber. These houses had no heat even except for the kitchen in most cases. My grandmother was born in a house like the first one. She was the 1st of 13 children.
Wow! Those encyclopedia covers are beautiful! Great find again kappy!
I wonder do you wear masks in these old houses? I would be afraid of the mold....then there's the falling through the floors! Love to watch though....thank you for your bravery and the willingness to explore!💙🏘️💙
Loved both of these. That first one reminded me a bit of a house that used to be at the end of our road. It was literally two small barns/outbuildings joined together. Always wondered how it all matched up inside. I think they added the second floor and the stairs didn’t quite fit in the space. Lol No frills in that home. The second was a bit fancier. The trim and windows. The fireplaces for the stoves. Lots of living in both of these old houses. Very nostalgic. So glad you videod them. Aren’t many left. Thanks so much.
As you approached the first place, I saw the brick walls, figured the foundation and basement might be stone, and a sheet metal roof, so I immediately thought, "Maybe the floors and ceilings won't be rotted out." Nice to see I was right! And since the calendar said January, 2004, it hasn't been empty very long, as these places go. When you entered the first room, the feeling a lot of us seem to get washed over me, that feeling of: "This looks like it could've been a cozy _home_ over the years." The basement stairs of my second childhood home had the same configuration of 2-3 steps up from each side, turn, and go up. I've never seen it before and never even thought I'd see it from the main floor. Wish the second explore had had a nice, _intact_ metal roof! It was a little roomier and the upper sash detail of the second floor windows was interesting. I've always wondered, too, about ground floor fireplaces and chimneys on the end walls and just how much heat made it upstairs in cold weather. The girls' bedroom in the cabin on "Little House on the Prairie" was heated by the fireplace and chimney being inside, but on end walls how much heat was lost through the walls? Anybody know? Stay safe, Kappy!
Those stair in that first house were really steep! Love the porch and fireplaces in the second one. Thanks for providing some entertainment while I'm layed off from work. Be safe, stay healthy
How humble...so small but yet at one time it kept people warm
I like that first house. I am hoping it is saved as it has historical value!!!!! I like those windows in the second house.
That was wonderful! Nice old house, we had that 70's plywood and 70's plywood with wallpaper attached to it for our kitchen too for our old house I Love your videos!!
Thank you very much!
My dad has wood like that in the den of his stepfather's house where he now lives. It was built in the late 60' s , I think. Such a beautiful little house. I love rooms with wood panels. Makes the room have more of a cozy feel to it.
In the second house, I loved the upstairs ceiling in the hall -- it is very old and well constructed "tongue and groove" from way back in the late 1800's. Beautiful painted white. The white tongue and groove design for ceilings and walls is still used today in "bead board" wall coverings -- a plastic and very cheap version of the laid down and fitted together slats of wood in the old tongue and groove.
I like that you show the hardware and decor.
Thankyou for finding those cute rosetts on the door frames. Nice explore Kappy
My house has those built in 1920.
I'm seriously loving the roots coming out of the top of the right chimney!!!! So neat!
The 2nd bedroom upstairs reminds me of The Amityville Horror! The windows in the movie looked like eyes at night.....ha ha!
I'm loving this old cabin. I'm going to name it the Moonshiner. The super crazy 'grandfather' stairs are just so so illegal. I am sensing secret spaces, despite the diminutive nature. The wall panels are not really attached, turn around in the closets. The original foundation could make this as old as you can imagine. The floorplan is freaking Medieval. Someone loves this place and is waiting to retire there.
I romanticized the first house from the outside, but it would take some lovin to get the inside sweetened up. Nice find either way! Second house was lovely, seemed bright & happy, sad to see it rot.
Your channel is the best one out of abandoned places a 10 in my book
Lord of Death gives a positive comment....LOL
Loved both of these homes . Alot of life lived in both of these . Stairs in the first one was odd , liked the old brick fireplaces and the old windows cool old homes . Great work kappy keep it up !!👍👍
😅😅😅
Kappy you crack me up...
That TV is from the 70s/80s...
By the 90s...they weren't that big...☺
Another great video by the way...
I wish I could go with you on your adventures!
I'll bet that old tv still works.
That Wise Old Bitch haha thanks for the info! I’m no tv expert, thank you for watching!
More like 60s/70s...but whats 10 years...LOL
@@snickers2877 To be honest, I think he should be guessing...because how else is he going to learn?
We come on here to the comments to help him understand what he is stumbling upon. With everyone's help in the comments...I've noticed in more recent videos Kappy is getting better at identifying antiques and whatnot...
I personally crack up because a lot of times he thinks something is from the 90s...and here I am a 43 yr old having lived through the 90s knows it isn't...
So I decided here to rib him on it...😉
I find his commentary honest and pure and adorable...
Sometimes he doesn't know what he's looking at but he's at least trying...
That's how I got started in antiques myself...
I know for one that I get an education when i watch one of his videos and I'm not sure what I'm looking at...
I'm grateful to all the kind folks who post opinions on what he finds...
We're all learning from each other...and that's a good thing...
I love Kappy's videos cause their unique and informative and interesting...
@@Jerry-sr9kq That's interesting...
I wasn't around for the 60s...I'm a 70s baby...
So I've never seen 60s TVs...in photos anyway...that big...
The ones I've seen were the mid century modern atomic era ones...
Hi Kappy
IDK if you’ve noticed but there are a number of very very valuable/antique RUGS that I’ve seen right under foot😂. Most are very dirty but look intact but needs cleaned. Soo many folks have walked right over, on, by, or next to😂. One of the easiest things to take but many do not. Sometimes everything is gone but they forgot the rugs👍. Have you ever priced an oriental rug of a room size? Whew!😳. Some places you’ve been have multiple large room ones!👍. Doors and rugs👍😃
Loving the fallen leaves in the 2nd bathroom!
I bet a man wallpapered that kitchen. Covered it all. They do that you know. Love your voice :)
Thank you for showing us these houses. My family dates back to before the revolution in Virginia and 1800s in both Virginia and North Carolina, it's my dream to visit any houses my old ancestors lived in, so these house videos are especially special to me. Idk if it makes sense.
I love a nice porch!! Thanks for the explore!! 😀
The best word to describe the first house: quirky! It's an odd little place but could be nice for maybe two people. ---Puzzling layout to the second house: what appears to be an inside hallway has outdoor siding. There must have been some alteration or addition in the past.---Great to see a Kappy video in this difficult time we're in. The blessings of good health and safe travels to you.
Always makes me laugh when you guess the date of TV’s ! 😆
I used to think those stove pipe covers were old school decorated paper plates cause that's what they look like. I'm sure it originally didn't have electric or plumbing but was added sometime mid century........or a little later?. But it looks savable. The second house looked okay cept for the roof gone in the bathroom but a possible keeper also if both were deemed structurally safe.
I had a friend who lived in a house with those covers and I'd jokingly comment on how paper plates made the room look so much nicer.
That first house is a real diamond in the rough - reminds me somewhat of cottages in the U.K. This one looks like it could be saved. But the wrap around porch of the second house? That's a stunner! Sad to see the interior so degraded. And I'll never understand why some people enjoy destroying old buildings.
Great job filming. I’d like to see more detail on the windows and electric panel. The circuitry can reveal a lot about the home’s age.
The second house has an old floor furnace to heat the house with. Front door lock like grannys house. Lever at the top goes from left to right to lock or unlock.
Always wanted a full, wrap-around porch.
Love the old door knobs on the first house the white door knobs
My house has those door knobs built in 1920.
Very rustic looking indeed. Pretty in its own way.
So glad I found your channel, I’m a subscriber now! You do such a great job! Please be careful, I always worry about you walking on those floors!
That first house looks like if I was the architect! 🤣 ooops the stairs end a longer than expected oh well, oh I forgot a bathroom, just stick one here in this tiny corner space! 🤣🤣🤣
Two beautiful old homes that should be saved. I love the fireplaces but hate when people paint brick! Brick is beautiful without paint!
Thanks for another awesome video Kappy
I do wish that they would salvage the architectural pieces...beautiful and almost a history lesson.
I remember when the floor model tv was a symbol of wealth and if you had one visiting guests would be very impressed.
At one time this second house was nice.
Hi Kappy....I get a really sad feeling from this house. My family bought a tv like that in 1968. Thanks for the cool videos!!
You are brave walking on things I wouldn't but you give us the shots thank you
Cedar strip lined closets in house #2. FINALLY ..they were really living it up, when they got indoor plumbing in the first one!
hoise
Love your videos man keep up the great work keep safe and thanks for putting no background music on
Thank you! I will never use any background music never been my style!
Wonderful explore!!
Great houses, great video 👍 Thanks Kappy🙋🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🕊️
I like how you take your time when panning the camera. Thanks. another good video
Up until the 1890's-early 1900's, there were no standards for the construction of staircases. Often times the risers and the stringers would be all sorts of heights and depths especially with the servants staircase. They could also be as steep as was necessary when there was no mid landing and turn. Please continue to take care as you explore!
These old little homes looked like they would have been kind of cozy before they fell into disrepair. Nice country settings. I have a small old home, so I can relate. Sometimes a smaller home can have a cozy, "homey" feel. But don't misunderstand me, if I hit the lottery I'd upgrade lol. But in the meantime, I like my old, little home enough. PS: Nice country settings, cool little homes...thanks!!
I really enjoy your videos. I've never seen this style 8 over 1 window before. Very cool.
Nice old houses. Hope you stay well
History makes us so sad ! The house is there,and the people are gone -never to return to their home.
At 2:37 this wood engraving I have seen above a lot of door ways for over 40 years, this must have been a popular design for 1800’s and early 1900’s
Did you ever think about writing a book 📚 about your adventures, Kappy? Who lived in the houses before, and why did they leave? Add a good 👻 storyline as well!
Old houses has a charm of its own .
I wonder if the first place originally had only one room up & down. I only wonder that because of the odd placement of the stairs in relation to the entrance & rooms. I dont know whether it was two tiny homes, or maybe animals were kept at one end, or the sittingroom was originally an outhouse. Maybe originally the stairs were like a ladder & the present ones were added a bit later? That shower cubicle looks like it might be from late 1970s. The storage space in the basement would make the whole place more livable.
Just something about seeing old house's, homes to families long ago 😊
Sweet houses.... quite a difference in styles and I think financial means
I love that first little house. I could imagine an artist living there. Plant a hedge & install double glazing to baffle the road noise, improve the bathroom & it could be very good. Very good indeed.
I thougth the stairs in my house were steep, but Holy Leg Cramp!
A very nice first house and the decay at the second one looked nice.
1:27 that's my birthday... Thank you so much for sharing this video..
be safe..i really like this video. that first cottage is right off the road.
The metal roof really saved that first house, no mold no rot!
Cute little doll house !!!
Love the second house! Just the right size. Thx Kappy.
Tupperware glasses...brings back memories. Strange staircase, for sure, not feng shue. Kind of close to traffic noise though. I think I would pass on the little one. But the second one is so interesting. Those fireplaces. But there may be ghosties. Couldn't await to see upstairs. Then though interesting architecture, and off beat layout, I loved the porch.
Hey Kappy, I'm like you & have a love for these old homes with their beautiful architecture & hardware. Do you ever go through some of the things when you find stuff, like those boxes with the books? I'd be curious what kind of books & if there was any paperwork that told the story of the house. 💜👩
That first little cottage was sweet. I preferred that one as a house. The bathroom with the leaves in the second house was a great picture though. You could print a series of cards for people who like old abandoned places, I bet it would sell because you find such interesting places. Thankyou for showing us.
You know, I had a mad thought when I looked at the tub half-full of leaves: "Now you have to wait until it rains to take a shower..."
WOW. Really good.
Hello kappy, are you in the society of creepy houses lol because its amazing the houses you have on your channel,you must spend every spare minute hunting for them, I really love your channel it's one of the best
Thank you and take care 🙏🏻
Haha thank you it does take some work to find these neat old places, thank you for watching!
Welcome to the Kappy Klub!
@@oldenweery7510 haha thank you😀
Thank you for sharing your great videos
wow it's really antique and amazing..
Love the staircase. Cute little house.
....another great video!!👍👍
Thank you for watching!
You tell that's an old house by the stacked rock wall in the basement.
I love your videos!
I like the sink in the first house and the baseboards and window trim and floors in the second house so sad
Love them...cute houses.
I want those 1970s Tupperware cups on the kitchen table.
I love the old stove covers
