- Hey explorers and house lovers! :-)
I have been flat out working and preparing for a few upcoming things but here in this video are 3 location around Adelaide which I have explored and had on file for a little while.
The first is a creepy dark dank Hostel or what seems to have been a very cheap accommodation type set up. Occupants seem to have just got up and left or squatters have were using it or both!
The building is primarily an old federation Villa adapted and extended to suit the needs.
The second and third explores are what would have been beautiful homes but are now old creepy ones! The 2nd one a 40`s home and the 3rd a late 30`s to early 40`s.
Hope you enjoy the video, thanks for watching :-)
PS- if you are seeing ads at the beginning of my videos that is totally CZcams doing this as my channel IS NOT monetized. CZcams have altered the rules again and can put adds up and then it is up to the creator as to weather they want a cut of the proceeds.
The only other times an add will appear on any of my videos is when a snippet of music has been identified by CZcams algorithms under copyright and the owner allows it on the condition they place a few ads during the video.
I don't know why, but "That's probably the most basic mantel I've ever seen..." literally made me 'lol' when I paid attention to the little stick of wood adhered to that wall! 😁
Haha it was very basic!!! :-)
As a uni student of the 80's, I can reveal exactly what the orginal purpose of the villa was and the later modifications and additions. Uni SA purchased the villa in 1985 as a external office complex to facilitate the operation of numerous courses supplied by external providers. This was more of a experiment to observe if cost saving were applicable. This failed to generate any noticeable savings, and was terminated in 1989. The building was gutted but retained for paper record storage until 1992 when the decision to purchase the neighbouring property, originally a mechanical engineering workshop, and build cheap accommodation for overseas students. This comprehensive redevelopment undertaking, which gutted the villa, clearing the workshop, internal and external construction initialed and completed in 1995. Uni SA divested itself of all accommodation investments in 2001. The property was purchased by private investors, changing ownership several times, marketed directly to overseas students via flyers in Chinese dialogue left at UniSA, before complete abandonment nearly 2 years ago..... and my participation ends here. All great explore as usual Paul. Oh, and i agree....the shed is fully empty ! 👍👍🇭🇲
Thanks for providing the history, gives us a better understanding of the property 👍
Legend mate! A lot of info and not easily known so cheers! I think she is destined for the wrecking ball. Thanks for watching :-)
Fantastic! So they were merely small “dorm rooms” and not torture cells... 🤣 Thanks for filling us in!
I was thinking half way house for ex-prisoners - but I reckon they would've put up with the conditions - too much like the old place
The first property sure was creepy. The original late Federation home would have been once a lovely family home though, before being turned into a hostel. Both the 2nd and 3rd properties were typical late 1940s houses and with many of the internal features remaining. With so many houses being left to ruin and demolished, unfortunately Adelaide will become unrecognisable. Thanks again for another interesting explore of more houses before they are lost forever.
Hi Julz :-) Yep the first hostel is a far cry from its former beauty......The second two are now both long demolished as you said more and more development is making Adelaide a shadow of its former self. Cheers for watching again! :-)
Absolutely love your videos Urbex lndigo your my favorite 😍
Thanks so much Stephanie, and for watching :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 your very welcome 🤗
Oh Lordy, wish you'd have a friend with you, some explores are down right scary! Yikes. Lol 😀💋🇺🇸
The 3rd home had an AWSOME bathroom floor!
Thank you Paul.🤓
They are for sure Alma :-) But I kind of enjoy that haha
@@urbexindigo5164
I find myself talking to you as you go through! Like in the last house, I wanted to tell you to move that sofa out of the way so you could easily run to the front door without tripping over it if you needed to make a speedy exit! And when wardrobes are moved away from the wall, I start saying urgently, “Look behind there first to be sure there’s nobody there!” LOL Pretty sure you wouldn’t want me along - I’d ruin the fun for sure!
Cool. That second house brought back memories for me, it's the same era and design house I grew up in the south western suburbs of Adelaide. It's amazing that the old carpet and kitchen lino were still there, good one.
I live in an old house just like this as well ,but over in Perth in the suburb of Cannington .we still have all the original lino flooring as well. In rough shape now tho .place is kept clean so it's still liveable. Place is only land value now .huge block
Thank you for another great video, Paul. I get so nervous for your safety because you always explore alone; wish you would take somebody with you. It's good you always look for another, second exit. Please Paul stay safe, you're so cool! Take care, God bless you. Have a nice day!
Loved your escape route! You are very brave. Thanks for showing us close ups of the old carpet. Your videos are better than watching TV! 💚
Thanks so much! Romy😊 Glad you are enjoying them, many more to come :-)
Horror Hostel - you got that right!!! I loved the linoleum on the kitchen floor in the second house. Always appreciate that you show us these kind of details. Wouldn’t miss an Urbex Indigo for the world, Paul. Thanks!!!
Lol, and I chuckled when you said “I saw this house driving by” 🤣
Haha cheers for watching CaroGar :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 no worries, I enjoy it 😀
I would watch any amount of ads to see your explores. Thank you for continuing to post videos while you work on the ones that take more research and time.
MrMgrigsby21 thanks :-) I also work a fulltime day job so i tend to be busy but always time for uebex :-)
Retro kitchens are cool ,, and I see El Cracko,scourge of Adelaide has struck again. He splits those old girls no problem.Enjoyed last weeks explores heaps as well . Great value getting 30 min plus uploads mate . Top stuff.
Haha El Cracko has definitely got a hold on Adelaide mate! :-)
Whoa...some long hallways there. Will probably be in my dreams tonight..unfortunately. great tour👍..as alway.
Wow that hostel was creepy!
I was half expecting someone to jump out at you. Please be careful Paul. Your videos are great but I do worry about your safety too. Thanks for sharing ❤
You're right, that first one was creepy! I was laughing at the last one, you sternly said 'hello', & my cats scattered!!! They thought someone was here!! 😹😹😹
Haha patti :-) Sorry to scare your cats! I have 2 cats :-) I will be doing a video soon all about the cats I have encountered while exploring :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 no worries!!
It was the best laugh I'd had in a long time!!!
How bad would it be living in those small rooms be on someone’s mental health- you always open our eyes to how some people have to live xxx
Awesome finds again. The hostel may have been niceish back when people were there but it's hard to see that now with all if the damage. 😉🇺🇸
I look forward to your videos each week, thanks again for sharing.
Glad you like them Sandra :-) Thanks for watching
Really enjoyed your video, and old fashioned music
💕💃🕺⚘
Great videos. That first place totally freaked me out. So many houses are being demolished in Adelaide and it's so windy all the time. I live on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria. Today is actually really. Thank goodness it's not windy every day. Jen
Hi Jen, thanks for the comments and for watching :-)
Another fabulous way to start my day. Watching this 👌👌👌
Thank you so much mate glad you enjoy these! 😀
Great stuff loved that floor in the last one. Brilliant thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it Bob :-)
Great stuff mate. I'm supposed to be renovating my bathroom but I'll watch your upload while I plan my day😁
Haha cheer mate! Appreciate the support Steve, thanks for watching :-)
Love the retro lino in the kitchen of the 2nd place!
Thankyou for sharing this video. I am going to take a shower now after seeing this. My Lord.
That bathroom floor with the tumbling dice pattern was awesome. I have to do a bathroom reno sometime soon and all these wonderful colorful bathrooms are making me think - maybe I too could have a film star bathroom.
The floors in the kitchen and bathroom of that last house were very interesting.
Pretty trashed is the theme here, however, always worth a look to see what's going on.
Always waiting for your videos,I wish I could salvage those dishes,they were gorgeous And those kitchen cabinets , enjoyed this video, thank you Paul have a great day big 🤗 from a Frenchy in Australia 🇫🇷🇦🇺 👍👍👍👍💝
Thanks so much Francoise :-) Not the most glamorous explores these ones! haha, thanks for your support again! :-)
Great share thanks! First one had me on pins n needles waiting for someone to pop out! LOL
Thanks for watching Adrian :-) Yes it was a bit tense :-)
That first one was very creepy. The bathroom floor in the last one was trippy, I wouldn't want to see that drunk LOL I'd end up on the floor for sure!
Haha that floor was a trip for sure! :-)
Hi Paul, love when you give us a bundle. Great videos keep them coming.
Glad you like them Patricia! :-)
Omg this first one freaked me out. I don't know how you do it, but I'm glad you do. I've actually gone and started watching your vids from three years ago as I haven't seen them all. Thanks again for your videos
this house was small but nice. We do not separate the bathroom into toilet and washing facilities I was surprised to see it in Aussie homes. also with all the corrugated metal rooves. We only use that for commercial buildings and barnes.
1st house... got a creepy look and then the door screeches, 😲 l almost wet myself 😂.
Haha it was like a horror movie for sure Kerrie :-)
Love the tiles on the wrap-around veranda @ the 1st place.
I love your channel, your videos are really relaxing to me for some reason 😌
😊 thank you Gaby , so glad you like them, many more to come :-)
These places look scary! Be careful. Great explore as always 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hi Robin :-) Yes the first one was scary but I like those type! Cheers for the support! :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 always
Good morning Paul the first one was creepy something about it and the last 2 yes older homes but beautiful I try and picture what they would have looked like. Thank you for sharing stay safe and have a great day 😊
Loved ur video. I would definitely renovate the third one.. that's the most promising one but you never know.. ty so much for sharing these with us..
You are so welcome Christine :-) Yeah the 3rd one was a nice house, or used to be :-)
I like the offwhite wall color and dark brown trim of that third residence. I think they go good together.
Thank you for the explore!! The Hostel was in pretty bad shape. I liked the 3rd explore. Always great explores!! Thank you again!! Be safe!!👍😎
My pleasure Laura thanks for watching :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 looking forward to next explore. 😘
Thanks for the explores! Love the floral carpet in second explore, and love the wall paper and bathroom floor in last explore!! 🙂
Bad vibes; do you ever have creeped out feelings during an exploration and need to immediately leave? I can imagine experiencing something like that here! Thanks for uploading. If you've any stories to share it may be of interest to some of your viewers to hear? Shame about these great old South Australian houses being demolished instead of renovated.
Yeah I got bad vides too mate, some places are definitely unsettling but sometimes its more the fact you want a clear exit haha. Yeah I will share more and more along those lines mate, cheers for watching :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 Thanks for the reply. I know the living can hurt you, the dead perhaps just scare you but I've been in places where there have been unsettling feelings and noises. Old buildings abandoned and derelict can definitely at times be scary. We enjoy your content, great to see these wonderful buildings before they're lost to time.
That old farmhouse where the door slammed shut as you were approaching 😳😳 sticks in my memory as creepy AF.
Witam Serdecznie i Dziękuję za eksploracje bardzo ciekawa i piękne budynki Pozdrawiam Serdecznie ♥️♥️♥️💐💐💐👍👍👍
im a little behind but spending sundry morning catching up that hostel was terrifying please be careful with those sort of places maybe take a mate with you seriously that place was like a horror movie set the 2nd place was amazing so original thanx for showing us around
When I see these old hostels, I wonder what the circumstances of those who lived there. I worked at Hillcrest Psych Hospital ( as a nurse...think ' One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest ) back in the '70's. Once it was demolished, many of its patients would have been 'housed' in these kinds of facilities. They simply didn't have anywhere to go where they could be cared for. Swapped one kind of institution for another :(
Hi Susan :-) Yes very sad to think about those circumstances for the less fortunate. I guess this one was decomissioned too
"Horror Hostel", alright! Thanks for another explore, UI. That first house was likely an impressive Edwardian villa in its day. Interesting that the mantles were still there to be salvaged. I guess authentic ones are worth a lot these days. I've seen that verandah tiling (terrazzo?) in a lot of houses built in the early 1900s. It must have been very fashionable. PS That's the worst water damage I can recall seeing.
The first place would be interesting to look at if all the non original internal walls were removed as well as all the outside units & paving.
I think then the property would take on a whole new perspective and probably be worth renovating back into a nice grand 1920/30's family home.
As for the other two places, bring in the bulldozers I say .
Thanks for sharing the your walk throughs.
Hi Tim :-) Yep this would have been a grand old home originally, I doubt it will be around for too much longer......cheers for watching :-)
At least the hostel and the two houses really need to be destroyed since often these abandoned houses could be restored. Thanks for the tours!
the first house is really really creepy, i was expecting someone that coming out at one moment ..
Well done, Paul ... another great triple header. Keep 'em coming! 👌 Cheers, Ken
I haven't watch one of your videos in ages as I've not been well but I'm a bit better now great video as always. X Hope you are keeping well?
The outside of it, looks nice.. but when you go inside, it's like a transitional home setting. Where they probably rented out the rooms, temporarily..but totally trashed, and weird.. as well because the locks on the outside, a little scary...
Hi Christine :-) Thanks for watching, yes a bit scary especially the hostel :-)
Thanks for sharing 👍😀😊.
My pleasure Denise :-) Thanks for watching
Wow. That green paint in the first house must have been a free giveaway.
omg that carpet in the second place was just the same as at my nan and pops and in that last house where there was that cupboard was and the chairs I,d say that was a dining room at one point
Hi Kim, cheers for watching :-)
That hostel looked cheap and had a strange layout, the houses were nice but sadly cracked all over, nice explore again.
Hi Paul! My gosh the first place was nice on the outside but once you got inside it took one a very different feel quite creepy shame about all the trashing, The second two had nice facades old world feel. I think the first place would definitely be very creepy at night! Great explores. Thank you. :-) :-)
Glad you enjoyed them again Megan :-) Yes the first one would have been a grand old Villa back in the day. Now not so grand.......lol Thanks for watching :-)
You aren't kidding about the Horror Hostile.
Again another amazing episode, thank you Paul. Those mantels in the hostel were gorgeous but for the green colour.
Second house loved the light fittings and I hope they get saved. Also the plants around the house.
Third house, that oven stove was stunning, have never seen one like that in a aussie home. Your comments about the squatter meeting place were hilarious.
Please be careful especially when exploring alone.
Places like the first one I just can’t watch. They feel so disgusting and I actually find myself with my hand over my mouth and nose because I keep feeling like they must smell foul and any minute that smell’s going to hit me! Irrational, I know...
Loved the second home. It had a light, cozy feel to it as if a happy family had lived there. Loved the design in the sliding glass cupboard doors in the kitchen! And I think the little teddy was tied to the string on the light so a child could find and turn his/her own light on and off.
I liked the third house, too - very neutral vibes. I’m wondering if the “gathering room of the squatters” was the dining room and the kitchen cabinets at one end were built in as a kind of economical server/china cabinet.
Love your videos and look forward to them every week!
I used to live near that first place and what I was told was that it was a "halfway house" for people coming out of bad situations where they might otherwise end up homeless - people recovering from drug addiction, people who'd been in prison, that sort of thing. I'm pretty sure there are now plans for a new monstrosity of a multistory building going up there
Hi Helen :-) Thanks for the info, yes it did seem like that type of hostel. And yes it has now been demolished. I still feed 2 stray cats over the other side of the road there :-) Cheers for watching
Thanks for the info on ads on here.
Hi Urbex Indigo thanks for another great few finds. It angers me so much the damage people with nothing better to do than to destroy other people property I would really like to know what they get out of it. I loved the two homes nice and compact but I loved the kitchen and bathroom in the second house the use of the colors looked great together Thanks again Anne H.
That floor to die for.
When I see that first property, the hostel, it does not seem creepy to me, it reminds me of barracks I lived in at Fort Riley, Kansas, USA, when I was in the Army in the early 90's. They started out as large squad bays, and we sub-divided them into little rooms ourselves so we could have our own little areas. It looks bad to outsiders, but when you go from 10 guys in bunks in a room with no privacy at all to having your own little area, it makes a big difference in morale. I have to imagine that students coming from overseas probably found those little rooms quite nice, especially if they came from a country not known for privacy. I have to agree with you, that floor in the bathroom of the last house was awesome, I would love some tile work like that in my bathroom!!
Great finds here, shame they get so trashed with people not caring to maintain them and let squatters and the like in and ruin them. Cheers for sharing :) MM
Wow first place was creepy as all heck. Got the feeling something was watching you.
Love watching your explores and documenting these old beauties.
I just don’t understand why they are tearing all these character houses down and not invest in preserving them instead. Granted some houses are too far gone.
As a viewer I found the hostel had a story to tell and through your camera, and that of the other two houses you did. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing. That first one was on the creepy side.
That last house, gonna be a shame if that great little stove gets demolished. And that bathroom, way too wild. That floor! Great video. Thanks!
I was kind of hoping you'd crash the party and bring me a piece of birthday cake. I love the kitchen in the second one. The hostel was kind of creepy. I kept expecting you to turn around and see someone standing there.
Haha Kate I could smell nice food from that party! :-)
The creaking noises at the start scared the shit outta my sleeping cat lol
Yuck...that looked like it was a miserable place to stay...sad sad vibes. If you were an international student this would probably make you feel very home sick :(
Bahahahahaha I nearly spat my drink out when you said that's the most basic mantle you've ever seen lmfaoooo 😬🥴🤔🧐😳🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Those tiny room! :-(
Hahaha basic is an understatement Lisa :-)
I half expected you'd find a body in the first one. The other two were small. Obviously bought for the sections.
I Wonder if the hostel was for backpackers, or Transitional housing for Homeless?Done for at any road. The first thing I saw in both houses to date them were the old original Venetian Blinds on the window. Floral pattern carpet as well. Shades of a Raymond Chandler Marlowe mystery. (My favourite was " The Little Sister")another small slice of history fades out. Admire your nerve at times,I'd carry a police whistle. Cheers.
Hi Gary cheers for watching :-)
I wonder who the sap was who made the monumental decision to move an inch to the right and click the 'dislike' icon? Oh well, what can you do? LoL Another cool explore, Paul!
Haha who cares mate! Cheers for watching :-)
They put what in the toilet? Another great video, thanks for sharing!
Jumper .what do you call them ?
You should've checked for a lion or a witch in that wardrobe. 😂😉
All three places had their good points . Place one was very odd . You are right it probably started out as a house and was later decided into a rooming house by the looks of things . I would guess why no one lives here anymore is because the place was not up to fire code .
Second home wow much loved family residence , however it is obvious who ever was living there last did not feel safe . Oh and I think that was a shrine of a sort so the residents where probably South or East Asian but from the looks of things South asian sifts . Would of been a lovely family home . I do not know if that glass on the cupboards was second hand or not , however I am sure that symbol on the glass is from the Masonic Temple . I noticed the one light shade on the roof was coloured green .
The last place wow . Some of the wood work was impressive.
Sad to know all these homes will be torn down.
Hi Charlene thanks for watching. Yep both those houses are now demolished......
@@urbexindigo5164 😭
omg, i searched for hours and finally found it at 333 Morphett road... too bad it was knocked down 3 years ago haha
I like it when you say...hello anyone there, if someone answered back and I was there mate I would be out of there in a flash.....why has the haunted hostel never been renovated and allowed to be rented to the homeless, there plenty homeless people here were I live, just a waste and shame.
Good question mate! I guess its all to do with money as usual. :-)
The first one is just awful. Imagine living there and working or studying 😩 The second one looked so sad, as I imagined the little old lady or gentleman living their till the end. It had a touch of gentle grandma about it, and had barely been touched from original, which was charming. That 3rd one was also charming and ohhh that dough bowl in the kitchen hutch 🥰❤️❤️🤩🙏 I hope dearly it gets saved. Thanks as always and stay safe x
Hi Selza :-) Yes someone else mentioned that bowl too! :-)
I wouldn't have fancied living next door to the first explore very creepy I bet lots of undesirables were hanging about too
❤️🌹
Hi Elaine, thanks for watching :-)
What a creepy boarding house! It would have been awful in those tiny rooms, the whole place had a feeling of despair. The second house looked like it would have been nice in its day and the third house was unusual, I have to disagree about the colour scheme in the bathroom, that set my teeth on edge, I bet the floor design didn’t help if you were feeling sick! All different and interesting houses, great video, always look forward to seeing your next one. xxx
Hi Siona :-) Yes looking back on that bathroom it was very contrasting! haha. The hotel definitely was full of despair. Thanks for watching :-)
You sound a bit like Russel Coight at times. But good vid. Love your work.
Lol I think someone else said the same a while back :-) I can deal with being Russel haha
Nice!
I would've been too scared to explore the hostel, lol. Someone would have to be there with me, to hold my hand.
Haha Kim :-) yes the hostel was creepy! Thanks for watching
Too cool
I love it sweet.
I'm glad you like it Berlieanna :-)
Hi bro love ya vids man! How do you find these abandoned houses? You just happen to drive past or something? I find them fascinating! And the history!
Hi Ricardo :-) Yeah a mixture of luck from driving around looking and also trudging through council records and applications for redevelopment :-) Cheers for watching many more videos to come!
@@urbexindigo5164 Hi bro ,random question but were you crossing the road near kurrulta park this arvo ??
Love exploring abaunted houses sometimes some of the places look scary you should always take someone else just in case
Thanks for watching daisy :-)
Loved the beautiful bushes and flowers in the first house, after the hostel explore. Just wondering do they still have youth hostels in Adelaide, like they use to have in the 70's and 80's? My husband and I use to sometimes stay at hostels if they were nice and clean. I guess air b&b has taken over now.
Hi Janet, I think you are right about BnB`s taking over from hostels now. Cheers for watching :-)
Bonjour d'Occitanie (France)
Je n'ai qu'un seul regret de na pas avoir eut accès à vos commentaires.
17:29 la maison devait être belle à l'origine, ils ont partagé les pièces n'importe comment.
Beaucoup de chambres de cet hôtel ne donnent pas envi, limite ce que nous appelons "marchand de sommeil".
20:52 beau travail de gravure pour les portes vitré de l'étagère en hauteur.
29:37 la rosace est superbe, avec le canapé cela devait faire un joli salon. Avec la chance que j'ai c'est une chambre.
Avoir un salon en passant par la cuisine.
Cette maison est bizarrement construite
36:55 le sol de la salle de bain est superbe
"but it's fully empty" lol
The hostel is a big nope from me 😱 I feel sick just looking at it.
Funny how 2 of those homes had cracks in the same places, front rooms, top front corners.
Wow
Another great Sunday video
Call me crazy but did you change the intro or have I completely gone bonkers during lockdown 😊
Haha this intro I have had on for a couple months now I think Michelle :-) Cheers for watching again :-)
